Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to retractable blinds, and in particular although not exclusively to blinds comprising a frame supporting a pair of opposing retractable blinds.
- In the marine industry it is known to fit a rectangular blind frame below or behind an opening glazed hatch in a deck or cabin of a vessel, the frame supporting a pair of retractable roller blinds located at opposite ends of the frame. One blind is usually a light-excluding blind and the other a fly or mosquito resistant blind the latter being deployed particularly when the hatch is open. A free or leading edge of each blind is supported on a slide member or cross bar which is guided in common slideways along the sides of the frame so that each blind can be drawn along the frame from one end of the frame towards the opposite end. The slide members (or cross bars) may embody magnetic, or other holding devices, to impart a finite holding force between the opposing slide members so that the blinds can be operated in tandem or, with the slide members separated, independently.
- It is desirable therefore that the action of releasing the slide member from its stowed position can be achieved without the need for separately operating a catch.
- Optionally it may be desired to connect the two opposing slide members, via magnets or equivalent devices, and release the catch to allow the stowed blind to deploy simultaneously as the opposing blind stows. This allows part of a hatch (or other aperture) to be covered by one of the blinds and the other part of the hatch to be covered by the other blind. It is highly desirable that the action of securing or releasing a crossbar to or from its blind housing can be achieved in an intuitive manner by a person not previously acquainted with the blind frame.
- The invention also provides a blind assembly comprising a rectangular frame, a pair of self retracting blinds mounted at opposite ends of the frame, a pair of slide members supported in slideways extending along either side of the frame to which the respective blinds are connected to enable one or other or both blinds to be deployed along the frame, means being provided to couple the slide members together, for tandem movement of the blinds to enable the extent to which the respective blinds are deployed to be varied and each blind having means to lock the blind fully stowed and thereby to hold the other blind fully deployed along the frame.
- The arrangement enables the locking means to be released by the user intuitively in operating the blind without the need for a separate operation.
- Preferably the self retracting blinds are roller blinds. More particularly the self retracting roller blinds are spring driven blinds.
- It is also preferred that each slide member is supported in the slideways for tilting movement in addition to linear movement along the slideways said tilting movement caused by manual engagement of the slide member being arranged to release said locking means.
- More specifically the slide members have fulcrum which engage the slideways and provide said tilting movement to release the locking means.
- In the latter arrangement each slide member may be formed with a fulcrum which is engageable with a respective slide way to allow the slide member to tilt about an axis extending longitudinally of the slide member to engage and disengage said locking means to hold the slide member in the blind stowed position, operator pressure on the slide member to deploy the blind causing the slide member in the stowed condition to tilt and release the locking means to allow the blind to be deployed.
- In any of the above arrangements the means to lock each of the blinds fully stowed may comprise means at the ends of the slideways adjacent a respective blind to hold the slide members against movement in a deployment direction.
- For example the means at the ends of the slideways may comprise abutments facing outwardly of the frame with which the slide members are engageable to prevent movement in directions to deploy the respective blinds.
- Further the slideways may have ramps at their respective ends which ramps end in said outwardly facing abutments and the slide members may have hook shaped projections which engage over the abutments in the stowed position of the slide members to resist deployment of the respective blinds, tilting of the slide members releasing the projections from the abutments to allow other deployment of the blinds.
- Preferably the slideways extending along either side of the frame are common to the slide members of the two blinds so that one or other or both blinds can be deployed but not in overlapping relationship.
- Also in any of the above arrangements the means to couple the slide members comprise magnetic means in one or both slide members providing finite attraction force between the slide members to hold the slide members together up to the limit of that force and to allow the members to be unlinked by overcoming the force.
- According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is. provided a roller blind having, a tension roller upon which material is wound, a crossbar to support the front end of each blind, and 'a pair of tracks to guide the crossbar, towards and away from the tension roller, said roller blind comprising:
- a) a first engaging member at one end of each track adjacent the tension roller, and
- b) a second engaging member at each end of the crossbar to releasably engage with the first engaging member, in use the first and second engaging members engage when the cross bar slides along the track and is adjacent the tension roller
- Preferably a guide member is provided at each end of the crossbar to guide the ends of the cross slide member along the track, each guide member including the second engaging member to releasably engage with the first engaging member.
- Preferably the first and second engaging members are biased to engage when the crossbar slides along the track and is adjacent the tension roller, and means are provided to act against said bias to disengage the first and second engaging members when the crossbar is to be drawn away from the tension roller.
- Preferably the first engaging member is a hook recess at one end of the track, and the second engaging member is a hook to engage with the hook recess.
- Preferably each guide pivots about a pivot point whereby the hook can be pivoted from a first position with the hook in the hook recess to a second position with the hook removed from the hook recess. Preferably the hook is biased towards the first position by the blind tension.
- It is further preferred that the crossbar includes a finger hold to slide the crossbar away from the tension roller using fingers in the slot and to pivot each guide to the second position.
- In any of the above arrangements each roller blind is one of a pair of roller blinds each with tension rollers spaced apart and each adjacent the ends of a pair of tracks.
- The following is a description of some specific embodiments of blind assemblies in accordance with the invention with reference being made to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a pair of roller blinds; -
Figure 2 is a part sectional view onFigure 1 showing the guides in a first position; -
Figure 3 is a part sectional view ofFigure 1 showing the guides in a second position; -
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a blind assembly in accordance with the invention; -
Figure 5 is a plan view of the blind assembly ofFigure 4 ; -
Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view through the blind assembly along the line 6-6 onFigure 5 showing the slide members for the blinds at one end of the frame. -
Figure 7 is a similar cross-sectional view through the blind assembly toFigure 6 with the slide members in the blinds moved slightly away from one end of the frame; and -
Figures 8 to 16 are cross-sectional views of the blind assembly showing the blinds in different operational positions. - Referring to
Figure 1 there is shown a pair spring powered self retracting ofroller blinds rectangular frame 30 which can be fitted to the underside of the deck of a yacht around an opening for a deck hatch. The frame can be surface mounted under the deck or recessed into the deck around the opening. Roller blind 10 has alight block screen 10A and roller blind 20 has amosquito net screen 20A (although any other variations of screens are possible as is known in the art). -
Frame 30 has two opposingblind housing members blinds frame spacer members tracks - The front end of each blind is supported on a
crossbar tracks Crossbars channels magnetic strips crossbars guides 40. - Referring to
Figures 2 and 3 there is shown a view of track 35 (track 36 is identical). At the ends oftrack 35 is a first engaging member in the form of a hook recess MA adjacent the tension roller of roller blind 10 and a hook recess 35B adjacent tension roller of roller blind 20. -
Guide members 40 at each end of thecrossbars hook 41 adapted to engage with ahook recess - Referring firstly to
Figures 4 to 7 , there is shown arectangular frame 30 to be fitted under an opening glazed deck hatch of a yacht with a pair ofroller blinds frame 30. Roller blind 10 is in the form of anopaque screen 10A to block out light and roller blind 20 in the form of amosquito net screen 20A to block flies/mosquitos. Other variations of screens are possible as is known in the art. - Each roller blind has a conventional spring powered retraction mechanism to roll the blind up. The ends of the
frame 30 are formed withhousings blinds side members internal slideways - The front end of each blind is supported on a
transverse slide member slides 40 mounted at each end which run in theslideways slide members slide members elongate magnet strips - Referring now to
Figure 6 and 7 , there are shown cross-sectional views of the frame through aside 34 andslideway 35. Each slide way comprises upper and lower parallel wall 35a, 35b which extend the length of the respective sides of the frame. The upper wall 35a has downwardly inclined ramps 35c which terminate in end stops 35d adjacent the ends of the rollers. - The
slides 40 at each end of theslide members slideways integral hook 41 to engage over the end stops 35d to hold the respective blind stowed. - Each
slide 40 can pivot onfulcrum 42 formed integrally with the slide and which runs along an upper wall 35a, 36a of arespective slideways hooks 41 engaged over end stop 35d or 36d to a second position with thehooks 41 are released from the end stops. The hooks are biased towards the first position by the tension of theblind screens slides 40 and so rock the slides about the fulcrum 42 whereby the hooks are biased towards engagement with the end stops 35d, 36d. Moreover gravity has a small effect on operation. The position of 'slide members' relative to the slide means that there is a tendency for the slide members to be pulled against the bottom 35b of the slideways due to their weight. This has a beneficial effect on the operation. - When the user's fingers are placed in
channels slides 40 are automatically caused to rock about the fulcrum points 42 to release the hooks from the end stops, and in the same action, moving the slide member away from its tension roller. This provides means to act against the bias to disengage the first and second engaging members when the slide member is to be drawn away from the tension roller. This action can be achieved whether or not the opposing blind is deployed and engaged with it (via the magnetic strips). The slide members are so designed that the force imparted on them by the opposing blind, via the crossbar, also act to bias the hooks to engage the respective end stops. - In use the
hooks 41 engage over the end stops 35a, 36a when the slide member slides along the track to be located adjacent its tension roller. - Reference is now made to
Figures 8 to 16 , which show the blind assembly in different modes of operation. InFigure 8 the slide members are separated and both blinds are fully stowed leaving the frame open. - In
Figure 9 , the right hand blind remains stowed and the slide member for the left hand blind has been released and is in the course of being drawn across the frame thereby deploying the blind attached to it. - In
Figure 10 the left hand blind has been fully deployed and the slide members are engaged together. InFigure 12 the left hand blind is in the course of being returned to the stowed position and inFigure 13 the left hand blind has been returned to the fully stowed position. InFigure 14 one blind is fully deployed and one blind is fully stowed and the slide members have been manually depressed to tilt the members on their respective fulcrum to disengage the hook of the right hand slide member to allow the blinds to be moved in tandem with the slide members engaged together to partially close the left hand blind and partially open the right hand blind as seen inFigure 15 . - The invention may take a form different to that specifically described above. For example springs could be used to bias the first and second slide members into engagement in place of the strips of magnet.
- Further modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
