Definitions
- the present invention regards a fabric roller blind according to the preamble of the independent claim number 1.
- the present fabric roller blind is intended to be advantageously employed for adjustably closing provided openings of building walls, in particular for windows, for doors, per French windows and similar windows/doors/shutters.
- the blind, object of the present invention is therefore inserted in the industrial field of the production of windows/doors/shutters, i.e. also in the field of production of fabrics for sun protection, in the field of mosquito netting or of similar applications.
- Blinds are known on the market for closing openings of windows/doors/shutters (such as windows, doors or French windows) provided with a rolling-shutter box, which is fixed to a building wall or to an upright that is lateral with respect to the opening to be closed and at its interior houses a roller on which a flexible cover fabric is susceptible of being wound and unwound.
- windows/doors/shutters such as windows, doors or French windows
- a rolling-shutter box which is fixed to a building wall or to an upright that is lateral with respect to the opening to be closed and at its interior houses a roller on which a flexible cover fabric is susceptible of being wound and unwound.
- the fabric usually has rectangular shape and is provided with a first lateral edge fixed to the roller and with a second lateral edge opposite the first lateral edge and fixed to a handle bar aimed to stretch the fabric itself during a movement thereof along a horizontal direction.
- the blind comprises two guides arranged horizontally along the corresponding upper and lower walls which define the opening and to which the handle bar is slidably constrained.
- the handle bar comprises an aluminum section closed at the upper and lower ends by two terminations slidably coupled to the respective horizontal guides.
- each of the upper and lower horizontal guides is generally obtained by means of an aluminum section fixed to the upper or lower wall which defines the opening.
- Each aluminum section of the two guides is provided with a longitudinal slit which is extended along the extension of the same section and which slidably houses at its interior the corresponding upper or lower terminal of the handle bar.
- the slits of the two guides face each other and delimit the two sides of the opening to be closed with the windable fabric.
- the handle bar is movable by a user between an open position, in which it is side-by-side the rolling-shutter box with the fabric completely wound around the roller, so as to free the opening to be screened, and a closed position in which the handle bar is side-by-side the opposite lateral wall, with the fabric substantially completely unwound from the roller and placed to close the opening.
- the user grips the handle bar and drives it along the horizontal guides up to the desired position, e.g. up to the closed position, in which the fabric is placed to completely cover the opening.
- the upper and lower terminals of the handle bar respectively slide along the upper and lower guides.
- a first drawback of the blinds of known type lies in the fact that for the movement of the handle bar between the open position and the closed position, the handle bar can be gripped not exactly at the midpoint of its height but in a non-centered position, e.g. in proximity to one of the ends thereof. Such circumstance implies that the handle bar is more greatly moved along the guide closest to where the handle bar has been gripped by the user and to a lesser extent along the guide further away from where the handle bar was gripped by the user.
- fabric roller blinds also of known type, have been developed which are provided with means for aligning the terminals of the handle bar, which maintain the terminals thereof vertically aligned during the movement of the same handle bar between the open and closed positions.
- the fabric roller is constituted by an anti-mosquito net, with substantially rectangular shape, which is fixed at a lateral end thereof to the take-up roller which is housed within the vertical rolling-shutter box and at the other end is fixed to the handle bar, which is susceptible of being gripped by a user in order to move the blind between the open and closed positions.
- the fabric roller blind of known type described in this patent EP 2530236 comprises a guide chain composed of a plurality of elements pivoted to each other in succession and capable of rotating with respect to each other only in one rotation sense, so as to attain - when extended aligned in succession - a member that is rigid in the opposite rotation direction, susceptible of attaining a guide for the fabric.
- Such elements are housed within a corresponding vertical seat made within the handle bar when the blind is in open position.
- the chain is constrained at one end thereof to the rolling-shutter box in which the take-up roller is housed, while the other end is slidably inserted within the vertical seat of the handle bar.
- the guide chain When the blind is moved from the open position to the closed position, the guide chain is driven outside the vertical seat of the handle bar, being set on the lower wall (usually the floor or a windowsill) which delimits the opening to be screened, thus acting as lower guide for the fabric.
- the guide chain, with the blind in closed position, therefore defines a horizontal rectilinear guide for the fabric, which allows retaining it in the spread-out position to close the opening to be screened.
- Such fabric roller blind of known type also comprises, as stated, means for aligning the terminals of the handle bar in order to remedy their vertical non-alignment, or a different sliding in the horizontal direction of the two terminals, also if the handle bar is gripped and driven in proximity to one of the ends thereof.
- the alignment means comprise a metal strap with curved section placed in proximity to the upper rectilinear guide, fixed on one side to the vertical upright and on the other side fixed to the end of the guide chain through a connector strap.
- Such metal strap like the guide chain when it is stretched during the opening of the handle bar, defines a rigid member in the sense that it does not allow the upper terminal to return backward i.e. to remain back with respect to the lower terminal.
- the main drawback lies in the fact that the means for aligning the blind of the above-described type are rather complex to make and install and consequently involve high production and installation costs.
- a further drawback lies in the fact that the metal strap of the alignment means requires being produced custom-designed/cut-to-size and therefore it cannot be modified during installation in order to adapt it to the size of the opening if, for example, the measurements were not correctly taken. Therefore, in this case, in order to modify the height of the handle bar and/or the length of the metal strap, it is necessary to send the blind back to its production site, or to a specialized laboratory with a clearly considerable increasing of the overall costs associated with this blind.
- the fabric roller blind of the above-described known type can only be produced custom-designed/cut-to-size for each client, based on the measurements of the opening to be screened, since as stated it is not possible to easily vary the size of the blind on the field, during installation, and hence it is costly and requires a long time to attain.
- a further drawback of the blind of known type lies in the fact that the metal strap, with the handle bar in closed position, is at least partially visible by the user, and can be aesthetically non-appreciable.
- the problem underlying the present invention is to provide a fabric roller blind which provides a handle bar movable between a closed position and an open position, maintaining an optimal alignment between the upper and lower ends thereof, regardless of the position in which the handle bar is gripped by the user in order to move it.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a fabric roller blind which can be adapted to an opening to be screened even during its installation, in a quick and easy manner.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a fabric roller blind which is entirely reliable in operation, and in particular capable of ensuring the aforesaid alignment even after a prolonged use over the years, without requiring a periodic maintenance.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a fabric roller blind which is entirely efficient in operation, and in particular capable of ensuring the correct alignment of the upper and lower ends of the handle bar, even for the handle bars with great extension, i.e. even for handle bars provided with extension of over two meters.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a fabric roller blind which can be made in a few standardized sizes, such that an installer technician can directly adapt them to the opening to be screened, in particular by means of a cutting-to-size thereof. In this manner, the blind is inexpensive to make and easy to install.

- a framework e.g. quadrangular bearing
- the framework is provided with a vertical upright 103 parallel to the lateral upright 21 of the support frame 2 and provided with a handle 104 susceptible of being constrained to the handle bar 6 by means of coupling means 200, in a manner such to integrally constrain the movable wing 100 to the handle bar 6 in order to be able to move them together, e.g. by acting on the handle 104.
- the slidable wing 100 is movable between an open position, in which the vertical upright 103 is spaced from the lateral upright 21 in order to free the opening A, and a closed position, in which the vertical upright 103 is placed at the lateral upright 21 in a manner such that the panel 102 closes the opening A.
- the slidable wing 100 is susceptible of being engaged with the handle bar 6 (placed in open position) by means of the aforesaid coupling means 200 (as illustrated in figure 12 ).
- the slidable wing 100 when the slidable wing 100 is moved from the closed position to the open position, it drives the handle bar 6 towards the closed position, unrolling the fabric 5 (as illustrated in figure 13 ).
- the coupling means 200 comprise at least one engagement element 202 fixed to the vertical upright 103, and at least one coupling element 203 placed on the handle bar 6 and movable between a position of interference, in which the coupling element 203 retains the engagement element 202 in order to retain vertical upright 103 of the slidable wing 100 fixed to the handle bar 6, and a position of non-interference, in which the coupling element 203 releases the engagement element 202 in order to allow separating the vertical upright 103 from the handle bar 6.
- the engagement element 202 is positioned at a lower end and/or upper end of the vertical upright 103 of the slidable wing 100 and the coupling element 203 is placed at the lower termination 7 and/or at the upper termination 8 of the handle bar 6.
- the engagement element 202 advantageously comprises a ratchet 202' fixed to the vertical upright 103.
- the coupling element 203 comprises a tooth 204 mounted on the handle bar 6 (e.g. on the lower casing 29 and/or upper casing of the latter) and slidably engaged on a track orthogonal to the movement direction K, and also comprises an elastic element 205 (such as a spring) acting on the tooth 204 in order to push it towards a position of interference.
- the tooth 204 is provided with a retention wall 206, directed towards the lateral upright 21 (e.g.
- the blind 1 comprises an end stop element 210 placed along the lower longitudinal frame member 17 and/or upper longitudinal frame member 18 and susceptible of intercepting the coupling element 203 in order to push it into a position of non-interference, so as to release the handle bar 6 from the slidable wing 100.
- the end stop element 210 comprises an appendage fixed to the longitudinal frame member 17 (or 18) and adapted, when the handle bar 6 is driven by the slidable wing 100 towards the closed position, to intercept the actuation wall 207 of the tooth 204 in order to move it into a position of non-interference.
- the engagement element 202 is released from the coupling element 203 and the handle bar 6 can be separated from the vertical upright 103 of the slidable wing 100 and, advantageously, it is returned towards the closed position by a return spring of the take-up roller 4.
- the handle bar 6 is returned into open position, maintaining a vertical position due to the synchronized movement of the pinions 11, 12 on the corresponding racks 15, 16.
- the end stop element 210 defines the maximum distance of the handle bar 6 (in closed position) from the lateral upright 21.
- the sliding wing 100 has an opening travel greater than the distance of the end stop element 210 from the lateral upright 21, such that the user can command the handle bar 6 to return into the open position, bringing it beyond the end stop element 210 by acting on the handle 104 of the slidable wing 100.
- the coupling means 200 comprise at least one flexible hook 201 fixed to the vertical upright 103 of the slidable wing 100 and susceptible of being coupled to the handle bar 6 when the slidable wing 100 is brought into closed position.
- Such flexible hook 201 is preferably placed in an intermediate position between the lower and upper ends of the vertical upright 101 of the slidable wing 100 in a manner such to engage the movable bar 6 with the latter at an intermediate elevation between the lower termination 7 and upper termination 8 of the movable bar 6 itself, in order to prevent bending of the latter.
- the flexible hook 201 is such to engage the slidable wing 100 with the movable bar 6 in the presence of low tensile forces (i.e. when the movable bar 6 is engaged with the slidable wing 100 by means of the engagement element 202 and coupling element 203), and be detached, via elastic deformation, from the handle bar 6 in the presence of high tensile forces (i.e. when the engagement element 202 is uncoupled from the coupling element 203 and hence such flexible hook 201 is subjected to the entire tensile force applied to the slidable wing 100 and possibly to the return force applied on the handle bar 6 by the return spring of the take-up roller 4).
- the lateral upright 21 (and in particular its rolling-shutter box 3) comprises an upper end head and a lower end head 300 respectively placed at the lower rack 15 and at the upper rack 16.
- the end heads are made with components separate from the racks 15, 16. At least one of such end heads, and preferably both, is provided with a rack section 301 placed as an extension of the corresponding rack 15, 16 and intended to be engaged by the corresponding pinion 11, 12 when the handle bar 6 is in open position.
- the finding thus conceived therefore attains the provided objects.
- the blind, object of the present invention allows the user to grip the handle bar 6 in any position along its vertical extension along the extension axis Z without creating a non-alignment between the lower 7 and upper 8 terminations of the handle bar 6 itself, since the latter is moved along two racks 15, 16 by means of two pinions 11, 12 joined together by means of synchronization means which force the rotation thereof at the same speed and aligned along the extension axis Z of the handle bar 6.
- the blind 1, object of the present invention allows an adaptation thereof also during mounting, by simply cutting the lateral upright 21, the handle bar 6 and the synchronization means 9, in particular by shortening the rotary shaft 10, in accordance with the preferred embodiments illustrated in the enclosed figures.
