Definitions

  • the following relates to a side rail for an architectural covering, in particular a side rail assembly for a side of an architectural covering to be mounted to an architectural feature.
  • the side guides include elongate open channels forming guiding channels for pins on at least some of the slats of the architectural covering.
  • a head rail of the architectural covering is installed at the top of the architectural feature with the shade of the architectural covering fitted to the head rail, but in a retracted state.
  • the two opposite side rails are then manipulated to pick up the ends, for example slat pins, of the slats of the shade into the guiding channels.
  • the side rails are then fixed to the two opposite sides of the architectural feature.
  • the side guides In practice, during the process of fitting the ends of the slats to the guiding channels of the side guides, the side guides must be angled with respect to the architectural feature. Once all of the ends of the slats have been picked up into a respective guiding channel, the respective side guide is then moved to be against the side of the architectural feature and is attached to that side of the architectural feature.
  • a base having an elongate profile may be mounted to the side of the architectural feature, for example with mounting screws.
  • a separate side guide, including a respective guiding channel, may then be attached/mounted to the base, for example using screws.
  • DE 26 08 271 A describes a lateral guide rail for a slatted venetian blind made of extruded aluminium, connected to a side covering screen gripping the slat ends.
  • the guide rail is produced as a separate component, fastened to the covering screen with a detachable clamping action. It can have two lengthways, sectionally opposed, undercut recesses in the outside of one shank. One of these is engaged by a hooked bar on the cover screen, and the other by one or more clamping elements, pressing the rail stem against the cover screen. Where it meets the rail stem, the inside of the cover screen can be fitted with two or more ribs, running along the length of the rail.
  • the elongate profile base is mounted to the side of an architectural feature.
  • the elongate profile of the base and the elongate profile of the corresponding side guide have corresponding forms configured to engage with each other so that the side guide can be engaged with the base.
  • a disadvantage with this arrangement is that the side guide needs to be forced into its clamped position along its total length and, hence, an installer is required to push and manipulate the whole length of the side guide to force it to clamp completely along its length with the base.
  • a side rail or side rail assembly for a side of an architectural covering to be mounted to an architectural feature.
  • a feature may include architectural structures such as openings (for example windows, doorways, arches etc) or walls or doors etc and their surrounds.
  • the side rail includes a side guide having an elongate prolife defining an elongate open channel configured to receive adjacent ends of members of a shade of the architectural covering, a base having an architectural profile configured to be engaged with a side edge of an architectural feature, and a clip. The elongate profile of the base and the clip are configured to engage with each other to mount the clip to the base.
  • the elongate profile of the base includes a pivot portion remote from the clip when mounted and the elongate profile of the side guide includes a rotation portion configured to engage the pivot portion rotationally/pivotably such that the side guide is rotatable/pivotable relative to the base about the pivot portion.
  • the elongate profile of the side guide includes an engagement portion remote from the rotation portion and the engagement portion and the clip are configured, with the rotation portion engaged with the pivot portion of the base, to engage with each other to mount the side guide to the base.
  • the clip By providing a separate clip, it is not necessary for the side guide to engage directly with the base.
  • the side guide and the base may preferably be formed from a relatively rigid material, such as aluminium
  • the clip may be formed from a more compliant or resilient material, such as a plastics material.
  • the clip need not extend along the entire length of the base and the side guide. Indeed, it is proposed that the clip has a very much smaller elongate extent than the base and side guide.
  • the clip may be between 10 mm and 100 mm long for use with a base and side guide 300 mm or longer.
  • the clip may be at least one of 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm and 40mm long.
  • the clip may be no more than one of 100mm, 95mm, 85mm, 80mm, 75mm, 70mm, 65mm and 60mm long.
  • the side guide and base preferably have a constant cross section along their entire elongate extent, for example allowing manufacture by extrusion.
  • the clip, or a plurality of such clips may be located at selected positions along the elongate extent of the base and side guide. During fitting, this allows an installer to engage the side guide to the base by pushing the side guide onto the base where the clip or clips are located along the base. In particular, an installer may work along the length of the side guide/base pressing them together in turn where each clip is located.
  • the pivot portion and the rotation portion may engage with each other in any known or convenient manner.
  • the pivot portion and the rotation portion are configured, with the side guide in an insertion position orientated at a first angle relative to the base, to accept lateral engagement of the rotation portion with the pivot portion.
  • This configuration with the rotation portion engaged with the pivot portion permits rotation of the side guide from the insertion position to a mounted position orientated substantially parallel with the base. Also, with this configuration, with the side guide in the mounted position, the configuration prevents lateral disengagement of the rotation portion from the pivot portion.
  • the installer is able to laterally engage the rotation portion of the side guide with the pivot portion of the base before rotating/pivoting the side guide relative to the base and into a mounted position.
  • the lateral direction is perpendicular to the elongate extent of the base and the side guide. It could be any direction from generally perpendicular to the plane of the base to parallel with the plane of the base. However, preferably, it is generally parallel with the plane of the base.
  • the pivot portion could include a flange facing outwardly from the base for engagement by a lip of the side guide facing inwardly.
  • the pivot portion includes, along the elongate profile of the base, a pivot flange facing inwardly towards the clip when mounted and the rotation portion includes, along the elongate profile of the side guide, a rotation lip facing away from the engagement portion and configured to fit under the pivot flange to engage the rotation portion with the pivot portion.
  • the pivot portion includes, extending parallel with the elongate profile of the base, a curved passageway extending under the pivot flange and configured to guide the rotation lip of the rotation portion and rotation of the side guide relative to the base.
  • the rotation lip has a curved profile matching the curve of the curved passageway.
  • the pivot portion and the rotation portion interact with each other so as to engage the side guide with the base so as to prevent the side guide moving away from the base and also to prevent lateral movement in both opposite directions substantially parallel with the base.
  • the pivot portion of the base may be located at an outer edge of the elongate profile of the base. With the side guide mounted to the base, the pivot portion is proximate the elongate open channel.
  • the elongate open channel may be provided at an outer edge of the elongate profile of the side guide on an outer side of the side guide to face the shade.
  • the rotation portion may be provided at the outer edge of the elongate profile of the side guide on an inner side of the side guide opposite the outer side to face the base.
  • both the elongate open channel and the engagement of the rotation portion with the pivot portion occur at an outermost part of the assembly, thereby facilitating installation.
  • the clip itself may be formed in any convenient manner to interact with the engagement portion of the side guide, the clip may include a clip portion configured to receive and engage with the engagement portion.
  • the clip portion of the clip and the engagement portion of the side guide may define respectively at least a protrusion facing towards or away from the rotation portion and pivot portion, and an oppositely facing recess for resiliently engaging with the protrusion.
  • the clip portion of the clip when mounted includes a ridge facing away from the pivot portion
  • the engagement portion of the side guide includes a clamping lip facing towards the rotation portion
  • the ridge and the clamping lip are configured for the clamping lip to resiliently engage under the ridge towards the base to mount the side guide to the base.
  • either the pivot portion and the rotation portion engage with each other to prevent lateral movement of the side guide towards the clip
  • the side guide additionally includes features mating with the clip and/or base to prevent the side guide moving in a direction to release engagement between the clip portion and the engagement portion.
  • the elongate profile of the side guide may include an elongate clamp flange having an inner elongate edge, and the clamping lip may be provided at the elongate edge.
  • the clamp flange may provide enhanced resilience to the engagement between the clamping lip and the clip.
  • the clamping flange may extend from an inner surface of an outer wall of the side guide to the elongate edge. Hence, the flange may have an appropriate extent to provide the required resilience.
  • the clip may include a guide surface extending from the ridge at an angle away from the base in the direction of the pivot portion, the clamp flange may extend from the inner surface of the outer wall of the side guide at a corresponding angle, and the guide surface may be configured to guide the clamp flange as the side guide and the clamping lip are moved for engagement with the ridge.
  • the angled surfaces of the clamp flange and the guide surface assist in guiding the side rail relative to the base and moving the clamping lip into its resiliently engaged state with the ridge of the clip.
  • the elongate open channel extends inwardly from the outer wall of the side guide, the outer wall covers the clip when mounted and extends between the elongate open channel and an inner edge, and the base includes an outer wall configured to meet and engage with the inner edge of the outer wall of the side guide.
  • This provides not only a more aesthetically pleasing assembled unit, but also provides additional structural support between the side guide and the base. Engagement between the outer wall of the side guide and the outer wall of the base may prevent the side guide moving laterally in the direction required for disengagement of the engagement portion with the clip and, thereby, improve engagement of the side guide with the base.
  • the side guide includes inner and outer side walls configured to extend outwardly from the base. Inner surfaces of the inner and outer side walls define sides of the elongate open channel, an outer surface of the outer side wall forms a side wall of the side rail, and the outer surface of the inner side wall and the clip are configured to engage with each other to provide additional support with the base and the side guide when mounted.
  • engagement of the outer surface of the inner side wall with the clip will prevent relative movement of that inner side wall towards the clip.
  • the clip may be securely engaged between that inner side wall and the engagement portion of the side guide.
  • the clip may be engaged with the base in any known or convenient manner.
  • the clip may be screwed to the base, for example using the same screws as used for attachment of the base to the side of the architectural feature.
  • the elongate profile of the base may have an elongate feature with which the clip can engage.
  • the elongate profile of the base includes a first channel having an open side facing away from the pivot portion and a second channel having an open side facing towards the open side of the first channel.
  • the clip includes corresponding mutually outward facing first and second protrusions configured to be received within the first and second channels respectively and to mount the clip to the base.
  • the clip it is possible for the clip to be engaged with the base by sliding it from one end of the base into and along the first and second channels.
  • the first protrusion and the first channel are configured for the first protrusion to be inserted into the first channel in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the channel.
  • the second protrusion and the second channel are configured, with the first protrusion inserted into the channel and the clip rotated about the first protrusion in the first channel, to clip resiliently the second protrusion into the second channel.
  • the first protrusion may include at least one resilient leg configured to extend into the first channel and to press on an inner side of the first channel.
  • the first protrusion and the first channel provide some frictional engagement between the clip and the base.
  • a user may position one or more clips at required intervals along the base. Resilient engagement with the at least one resilient leg will retain those clips where placed.
  • the resilience of the at least one leg allows easy manipulation of the clip until the second protrusion is engaged in the second channel.
  • a side rail including a plurality of the clips to be positioned at intervals along the base.
  • an architectural covering for an architectural feature including two of the side rails.
  • the architectural covering may be provided with a shade having members with opposite ends to be received in respective side rails. Not all of the slats of the shade need be provided with such members and it may be sufficient to have such members at appropriate intervals.
  • the architectural covering may be provided with other parts, such as a head rail for receiving the shade.
  • the method includes mounting the clip to the base.
  • the method further includes, with the side guide in an insertion position, laterally engaging the rotation portion of the side guide with the pivot portion of the base, rotating the side guide relative to the base about the pivot portion and engaging the engagement portion with the clip so as to mount the side guide to the base.

  • the guide surface 164 acts so as to guide the inner elongate edge, and hence the clamping lip 160, of the flange 156 down towards and over the ridge 162 of the clip 128.
  • the clip body can be much lower, in other words extend less far from the first and second protrusions 148, 150 and the base 120 to which it is fitted.
  • each flexible arm 152 joins the main body of the clip 128 towards the distal end of the guide surface 164 and, in the mounted state, proximate the outer surface of the inner wall 168 of the side guide 124.
  • the elongate open channel 126 in this arrangement is defined by an outer side wall 166 and an inner side wall 168 which extend outwardly from the base 120.
  • the inner surfaces of the outer side wall 166 and the inner side wall 168 define the elongate open channel 126, whereas the outer surface of the outer side wall 166 defines at least a substantial part of the outer surface of the side rail itself,
  • the outer surface of the inner side wall 168 faces towards the angled clamp flange 156, and the clip 128 extends from the base 120 between the outer surface of the inner side wall 168 and the clamp flange 156.
  • the outer surface of the inner side wall 168 and the clip 128 may be configured to engage with each other.
  • This engagement provides additional support between the side guide 124 and the base 120 with the clip 128.
  • the side guide 124 is secured laterally by the clamping lip 160 and the resilient action of the clamping flange 156 squeezing the clip 128 against the outer surface of the inner side wall 168.
  • the outer wall 142 formed by the base 120 is configured to meet and engage with the outer wall 158 formed by the side guide 124.
  • the outer wall 158 of the side guide 124 extends between the elongate open channel 126 and an inner edge.
  • the outer wall 142 of the base includes a recessed flange 172 along its length for receiving the inner edge 170 of the outer wall of the side guide 124. This engagement provides additional structural support between the side guide 124 and the base 120.
  • the side guide 124 is further prevented from moving (under the influence of the clamp flange 156 and clamp lip 160) away from the pivot portion 136.
  • Fig. 17 and Fig. 18 illustrate respectively how a side guide 124 may be engaged with a base 120 while supporting the ends of members within the elongate open channel 126.
  • These illustrations may be considered schematic in that clips 128 may be omitted at the end of the base 120 to which the slats 108 and ends 116 are retracted.
  • the space between the slats 108 and the side guide 124 is relatively limited so it may be more difficult for the user to push the side guide 124 onto the clips 128 of the base 120.
