Definitions

  • This invention relates to a roller blind of the type with adjustable slats, which can be installed on standard guides, that is, on guides already installed for moving slats and in situ.
  • roller blind designed to close doors or windows, or French windows, making it possible to achieve the adjustment and the opening to an adjustable angle of the slats with the roller blind lowered in such a way that, with the slats open, the change of air and the passage of light from the outside is obtained.
  • the roller blind with adjustable slats according to this invention offers the advantage of being able to be installed on existing guides and the mechanical means which allow the adjustment of the slats which make up the roller blind, are, unlike the traditional solutions which during the steps for adjusting the slats place the movement mechanism in view, of the concealed type, making this solution even more attractive to the customers for whom the product is intended.
  • This invention is applied in the field of the industry which produces doors and windows, roller blinds and Venetian blinds both for household use and, more generally, in the civil and industrial sector.
  • a roller blind comprises a plurality of slats connected to each other with angular freedom, slidable on lateral guides for the sliding of the roller blind when opening and closing, and windable relative to a winding roller located at the top in a suitable compartment; the roller can be actuated manually or by a drive unit.
  • roller blinds whose slats are of the adjustable type to allow, as necessary, the passage of air and/or light, where the adjustment of the slats is carried out by a mechanical device kinematically connected to a source of motion, that is, a mechanical system for transmission of the rotary movement from one slat to the other.
  • roller blinds with adjustable slats known in the prior art includes the Italian patent application MT2009A000001 which describes a roller blind characterised in that may also be installed on existing guides and that the adjustment of the slats does not require any movement mechanism, using for the opening of a slat only the weight force of the slats above.
  • the slats described in the above-mentioned document which can also be installed on existing guides, are not adjusted simultaneously but in succession starting from the lower ones and then progressively the upper ones, giving priority to the entrance of light and air in the lower zone thus contravening the consolidated practice and also an evident usefulness of giving a priority and greater entrance of light in the upper zone.
  • the main drawback of this system is the fact that the slats are located on the inside of the Venetian blind curtain and are therefore unattractive in all the operation steps.
  • roller blinds with adjustable slats on the market which can be installed on existing guides and which comprise a mechanism for moving the slats, which, however, during adjustment of the slats, place the movement mechanism in view, thereby compromising the appearance the product.
  • EP-A-2722475 discloses a roller blind of the type with adjustable slats, which can be installed on at least one guide even of the universal type, that is, on guides already installed for moving slats and in situ, the roller blind comprising slats which are connected to each other, with freedom to oscillate in an angular fashion, wherein said roller blind further comprising first supports, second components of the chain type, third components or rod linked by screws and protrusions.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide a roller blind with adjustable slats which can overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks and which can also be installed on existing guides, thus creating a condition which is able to prevent the replacement of the guides.
  • the invention also aims to provide a roller blind with adjustable slats which is easy to make and apply on existing guides, as well as with a reduced number of components, so as to be easily produced at advantageous costs.
  • the main advantages of this solution relate to the fact that, on the one hand, the installation on existing guides is allowed, avoiding the costs for their replacement, and moreover comprising mechanisms for angular adjustment of the slats which are, on the one hand, extremely reliable and, on the other, remain hidden from view, with all the resulting advantages, both practical and in terms of appearance of the finished product.
  • reference sign 30 denotes the slats which make up a roller blind with adjustable slats according to the invention, which are connected to each other, with freedom of angular oscillation.
  • Each support 31 substantially consists of an elongated body which, from the side facing towards the slat 30 has a shape with protrusions 35 and grooves designed to allow the coupling in an interlocking fashion with each of the ends of each slat 30, whilst from the side facing towards the chain there is a pin 36 positioned at right angles to the body and facing, that is, towards the respective chain link 32 in which it is intended to be inserted.
  • the support 31, at the side facing the chain link component 32 and close to the pin 36 has, as shown in Figures 2 to 5 , a groove 37 suitably shaped to guarantee optimum operation and which, in the embodiment illustrated, substantially adopts a "
  • each second component represented by the chain link component 32, which is elongate in shape with dimensions substantially equivalent to those of a support 31, which in turn substantially corresponds to the dimensions in height of a slat 30, comprises a through slot 38 and a pin 39.
  • the through slot 38 is passed through, in situ, by the pin 36 of support 31, whilst the pin 39 is designed to enter in the groove 37 shaped like a 'J' of the support 31.
  • each rod 34 consists of a metal element with an elongated shape, also with dimensions substantially corresponding to those of chain link component 32 and of support 31; the rods 34 are joined to each other at the articulated fastening joints 40, located at the two ends of each of the rods, to form a continuous succession of rods which slide in the guides 33.
  • each of the rods 34 comprises a hole 41 the purpose of which is to be intercepted by pin 36 of support 31 which passes through the elongated slot 38 of the chain link component 32.
  • roller blind with adjustable slats operates as follows.
  • the step of closing the slats will then be determined by lifting the rods 34 which will cause the opposite effect, pulling pin 36 upwards, which, at the end of the stroke, will reach the initial closing position of the slats 30.
  • the mechanical components which determine the angular movement of the slats are kept concealed in the existing guides 33, so that none of the mechanical components are visible from the outside, to the advantage of the final appearance.
  • roller blind according to the invention is similar to that described and claimed in patent document EP-A-2722475 , which, however, requires the presence of a dedicated guide profile.
