Definitions

  • the invention solves the issue of shifting pleated blinds on string lines and a blind brake stabilising the blind's bars in an assumed position.
  • Pleated blinds are known and commonly used.
  • One of the types of these blinds are ones with bars moving on string lines, while usually both blinds are movable. Thanks to such a solution, the blind may be positioned in any place of the element being shaded, usually a window or a door, and the span of the blind may be changed freely. Thanks to its special design, a pleated blind may be positioned in any place in the window. It may shade the bottom, the middle or the upper part of the window, depending on the needs and predilections.
  • the brakes In order to stabilise the location of the blind's bars on the string line, various types of brakes are used.
  • the brakes apart from preventing self-displacement of the blind's bars on the string lines, act also as bar guides on the string lines.
  • a brake for roller blinds in the form oftwo opposite mobile elements provided with pins, pressed against each other with a spring, between which a string line of the roller blind tension moves, is known from the description patent application WO 2012154871 .
  • the elements When the elements are pressed against each other, they form a labyrinth duct, which makes the shifting of the string line impossible.
  • the shifting of the string line in the brake is complex as it requires the simultaneous performance of at least two activities, .i.e. to press in the spring and to shift the string line, furthermore, the whole system consists of several elements.
  • the system for adjusting the inclination of boards in Venetian blinds was presented in the description of the EP patent application No. 2735692 .
  • the system includes rounded elements for a smooth change in the direction of the string line's shift.
  • the brake of the roller blind's string line was disclosed in the US patent application 2007272363 ; it consists of two clamping plates of which one contains two cavities and the other has pins compatible with the cavities. The string line is tightened between plates. The shifting of the string lines requires the disconnection of plates.
  • the US patent No. 4202395 presents the brake in the form of a pair of spring jaws tightened on links or bars.
  • a brake is known with principle of operation consisting in shifting a cube on the string line, the cube having a labyrinth duct, through which the string line is passed. Bends in the labyrinth duct effectively brake self-displacement of the string line.
  • the braking force of such a brake depends on the weight of the blind's bars, the tension of the string line, and the number and shape of the labyrinth ducts.
  • the brake must brake self-displacement of the blind's bars on the string line, and on the other hand, it may not pose too strong a resistance during purposeful shifting of the blind's bars on the string lines.
  • the braking force may be regulated by the number of the bends in the labyrinth duct and by bending angles between the individual sections of the duct.
  • the goal of the invention is to build a brake with a high braking force, which would not pose excessive resistance during displacement of the blind's bars, while maintaining high aesthetic qualities, especially in case when the blinds are used in wide slant windows, for instance roof windows.
  • the brake for blinds is connected with the blind by a bar and functions as a guide at the same time.
  • the brake comprises the features according to independent claim 1.
  • the rounded elements of the brake enable a change in direction of the course of the string line, while the labyrinth duct is shaped so that one inlet of the duct is located below the axle of the rounded element, and the other, opposite one is located above the axle of the rounded element.
  • the string line, from the internal side of the blind on the rounded element changes its course from vertical to horizontal, and then, behind the labyrinth ducts, changes its course back to vertical on the second rounded element.
  • the rounded element is a circular segment not smaller than 180°, preferably a circular segment of 190°.
  • the rounded elements are wheels mounted on axles.
  • the diameter of the wheels or the rounded element is not smaller than 1.5 of the diameter of the string line, and in case when the string lines of the blind are made of metal, the ratio of the wheel diameter to the string line diameter is not smaller than 2.0.
  • the labyrinth duct has at least two bends, while preferably the angles between the individual sections of the duct range from 100 to 175°.
  • the brake according to the invention consists of two connected parts.
  • the labyrinth duct and the rounded elements are located, while these elements have protrusions perpendicular to their plane, intended for connection with the other part of the brake.
  • the axles they are mounted on are longer than the thickness of the wheels and they form two protrusions for connection with the other part of the brake.
  • this part of the brake has additionally at least two protrusions intended for connection and stabilisation of this connection with the other part of the brake.
  • the other part of the brake has openings corresponding to the protrusions of the first part of the brake, and after assembly, the protrusions of the first part of the brake enter the openings in the other part and stabilise the connection.
  • the brake may have properly shaped holders enabling shifting of the blind's bars, or sockets for installation of such holders.
  • a brake according to the invention may have properly shaped sockets for connection with the bar of the blind or it may be concealed inside the bar.
  • FIG. 1 a general view of the brake as assembled ready for installation in the bar is shown, in a view along the axle of the bar.

  • the main part of the brake is the labyrinth part (1), containing the basic operating elements of the brake.

  • cylindrical pins (10, 11) protrude that are intended for connection of the labyrinth part (1) with the connector (2).
  • the pins (10, 11, 12, 12') stabilise the connection of both parts of the brake.
  • the labyrinth part has a protrusion (13), containing a socket (14) for the holder (5).
  • the socket (14) constitutes a half of the complete socket for the holder (5), and the other half of the socket is located on the connector (2).
  • FIG 5 a section of the labyrinth duct (7) marked as "A" in Figure 3 is shown.
