- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the roller shade assembly according to the invention indicated by reference numeral 1.
- roller shade 1 that can shield the light from openings 12 obtained in buildings, such as a window or a door.
- openings 12 generally have an upper edge 13, a lower edge or threshold 14, and two lateral edges 15 (as specifically shown in figures 9a - 9c).
- the roller shade 1 comprises a first roller 2 to be fastened to the upper edge 13 of an opening 12, a second driven roller 3, movable with respect to said first roller 2, and a shade 4 having two ends, each one coupled to a respective roller 2 and 3, and able to slide between said first roller 2 and said second roller 3 so that it can be almost completely wound on one or both rolls 2 and 3.
- the first fixed roller 2 may be contained or protected by an outer case 5, such as a containment box, as shown in the embodiment of figure 1 , or can be left open as shown in the embodiments of figures 3 and 4.
- an outer case 5 such as a containment box, as shown in the embodiment of figure 1 , or can be left open as shown in the embodiments of figures 3 and 4.
- the shade 4 preferably has a width and length such that it can occupy the free surface of the opening or open space 12, such as a window or a door of a building, and preferably comprises at least two portions 41 , 42 disposed below to the other along the length of said shade 4, so that by wounding/unwinding the two rollers 2 and 3, one of said two portions 41 , 42 completely covers said opening 12 (as shown in figures 9b and 9c) or both, in a partial manner, completely cover said opening 12 (as shown in figure 2).
- Said at least two portions 41 , 42 of the shade 4 are preferably made up of two or more different materials and/or may have a different decoration and/or may have a different consistency depending on the capability to obscure or shield the required light.
- tissue portions can be of a filtering, attenuating, occulting or obscuring type.
- three or more shade portions may be provided, and hence couplings of three or more fabrics comprised of different material and/or consistency.
- the roller shade 1 further includes driving means 9 acting on said first roller 2 on said shade 4 with a first winding torque M 2- or a first torque winding M2+ for winding or carrying said shade 4 around said first roller 2 and return means 11 acting on said second roller 3 with a reclining torque M 3+ acting on said shade 4 to wound said shade 4 around said second roller 2.
- the roller shade 1 is able to pass between a non-use position in which the shade 4 is nearly completely wound about the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 is positioned close to the first roller 2 so as to leave the opening 12 free, and a position of use in which the shade 4 shield the opening 12 and the second roll 3 is coupled to the lower edge 14 of the opening 12, and vice versa.
- the mass of the second roller 3 and the return means 11 are configured so that when the second roller 2 is not resting on the lower edge 14 of the opening 12, in other words when the roller shade 1 is not in the use position, the weight force F p acting on the second roller 3 is equal to or greater than the forces resulting from said return torque M 3+ so as to prevent the sliding (winding or unwinding) of the shade 4 on the second roller 3, and so that when the second roller 3 is supported on the lower edge 14 of the opening 12, i.e. when the roller shade 1 is in the use position, the weight force F p acting on the second roller 3 is less than the resulting forces of said torque M3+ so as to allow said shade 4 to slide (winding or unwinding) on said second roller 3 by driving means 9.
- the weight force F p is annulled being counterbalanced by the resulting force exerted by the resting surface, the lower edge 14, on the second roller 3.
- the driving means 9 of the first roller 3 may be a rope, a continuous chain, a winch or a gear motor.
- the return means 11 on said second roller 3 are a mechanical spring coaxial to the second roller 3 having a torque M 3+ acting on said second roller 3.
- said return means 11 can be an air, gas, or motor return spring.
- the second movable roller 3 may provide a metallic profile 6 to support the shade 4 when wound on said second roller 3.
- the second movable roller 3 is lifted so as to leave the volume of the opening 12, such as a window, free.
- the second portion 42 of the shade 4 will be lowered while continuing to act on the first roller 2 by means of the driving means 9.
- winding torque M 3+ existing in the spring 11 will act on the second roller 3, wrapping the first portion 41 of the shade 4 around the second roller 3.
- the coaxial spring 11 is coupled to the second roller 3, where the fabric of the shade 4 flows through a feeder 59 which loads the spring 11 when the fabric of the shade 4 is dragged upward, while the second roller 3 is laid on the sill 14 of the opening 12 to be covered.
- the system according to the invention can freely operate in the space simply anchored to the ceiling or upper edge of the opening without the need for additional frames or guides to counteract the moment of the lower roll.
- the balancing of the lower or second roller 3 with respect to the torque 3+ of the spring 11 is obtained by adding additional weight or counterweight to the special suitable provided on the lateral edge of the lower box 6, an additional weight which decreases while the width of the shade increases and thus the weight of the lower box.
- additional weight 7 is shown in figure 19a where the additional weights are inserted into the lateral edge of the lower box 6.
- the extra weight is nil in the case of low and wide shades, inversely increasing on narrow and very high shades.
- the balancing of the system is obtained indifferently by setting the fabric winding direction inside or outside the first roller, it is only necessary to reverse the internal/external position of the counterweight edge of the bottom driven roller or bottom box.
- the bottom roller limit 3 has been made adjustable. In other words, once terminated the fabric unwinding as required, the second lower roller 3 starts to rise with respect to the sill 14 due to the perfect balancing of the weight of the second roller 3 and the moment M 3+ of the spring 1 1. Such adjustment is possible adjusting the pre-loading turns of the spring 11.
- the spring 1 1 support hub 50 is independent with respect to the cap or side cover 52 of the box or metal profile 6 and joined to the same by two screws 53, 54.
- Said coupling is obtained by means of a double profile bushing 55, in particular a double hexagon bushing 55.
- the hexagonal outer surface 56 of the bushing 55 engages with the support spring 1 1 hub 50 while the inner cavity 57 of the bushing 55 receives, during the adjustment step, a hexagonal wrench (not shown in the figures).
- the bushing 55 will rotate in the winding (or unwinding) direction of the spring 11 by acting on the inner cavity 57, that, pushing on the spring 1 1 will increase (or decrease) the revolutions of the spring 1 1 until the lower or second roller 3 will tend to rise to reach the balancing point.
- said limit adjustment system may be a threaded hub rotatable with respect to the outer cap of the lower casing, to which the spring is connected.
- a hexagonal bushing is connected to said hub, fixing it to the outer cap and at the same time allowing the insertion of an external key into the inner hexagonal hole.
- the automatic driving of the lower roller can also occur when the upper rolled is powered by a motor driven by radio pulses supplied by wire feed embedded in the fabrics or electromagnetic waves depending on the new technologies being developed.
- the upper driving roller 2 may be provided with a first motor or upper motor 28 connected to a radio control unit 30.
- the upper motor 28 controls the lowering of the lower roller 3.
- the second roller or lower roller 3 is provided with a second motor or lower motor 29 connected to a receiving radio control unit 31.
- the position of the second roller 3 is detected when it arrives at the lower edge 14 of the opening 12. Now, continuing the manoeuvre, the lower motor 31 is simultaneously started by a radio pulse winding the lower fabric of the shade 4 while the upper fabric descends.
- the same encoder will read the arrival of the upper fabric at the limit 14 and by radio pulse will simultaneously stop the upper motor 30 and the lower motor 31.
- the displacement force is mainly due to the battery engine located in the lower roller.
- roller shade 1 differs from the embodiments described in the above by the fact that it does not provide containment or covering elements for the rollers 2 and 3. Further, it provides that the driving means 9 is a motor acting on said first roller 2 and that the second roller 3 is provided with a counterweight 7 able to contribute to the mass of the second roller 3.
- the weight of the counterweight 7 or of the second roller 3 is variable according to the size of the shade 4 to be wound, the number of fabrics used for the shade and their specific weight.
- Figure 5 shows a further embodiment of the roller shade 1 according to the invention, which differs from the prior art by further comprising coupling means for removably coupling said second roller 3 to said lower edge 14 of said opening 12 and capable to exercise a coupling force F c .
- said coupling means are a pair of magnetic elements 8 and 10 exerting a magnetic force Fc on said second roller 3 and may be a magnet and a ferromagnetic element or two magnets of different polarity.
- a first magnetic element 8 is coupled to the second roller 3 and the second magnetic element 10 is secured to the lower edge 14 of the opening 12 to be shielded, such as a window sill.
- the second roller 3 when the second roller 3 is located near the lower edge 14 of the opening 12, the second roller 3 is driven by the magnetic force Fc coupled to the lower edge 14, advantageously preventing that the second roller 3 may move from its support position.
- roller shade 1 according to the invention, comprising magnetic coupling means as in the previous embodiment.
- the second roller 2 and the lower edge 14 of the opening 12 are shaped in such a way to allow the diagonal sliding of the second roller 3 with respect to the sill 14.
- the lower portion 17 of the second roller 3 has a wedge shape.
- the coupling means in the present embodiment are two pairs of magnetic elements 8, 10 and 18, 19, in which the first pair of magnetic elements 8, 10 has a greater magnetic power than the others 18, 19 and wherein each magnetic element 8 or 18 on the second roller 3 can be combined with each magnetic element 10 or 19 present on the lower edge 14 of the opening 12 to exert the magnetic force Fc on the second roller 3.
- the higher power magnetic element 8 of the second roller 3 When it is desired to release the window opening 12, acting on the driving means 9, the higher power magnetic element 8 of the second roller 3 will detach from its counterpart 10 of the lower edge 14 and join the second magnetic element 19 having lower power, repositioning the two rollers 2 and 3 on the same axis, to then finally disengage. This will avoid abrupt disengagement between the second roller 3 and the lower edge 14 of the opening 12, as it could occur in the embodiment described in the above.
- the second roller 3 may provide a centrifugal deceleration system 16 with multiplied friction acting on return means 11 , in particular on the spring 11 , so as to decelerate the reaction of spring 11 when the second roller 3 is detached from the lower edge 14.
- a centrifugal deceleration system 16 with multiplied friction acting on return means 11 , in particular on the spring 11 , so as to decelerate the reaction of spring 11 when the second roller 3 is detached from the lower edge 14.
- the winding force acting on said shade 4 is too intense so as to cause a violent winding of the shade towards the first roller 2.
- Said centrifugal deceleration system 16 is particularly useful when there is no sufficient weight to counter moment of the spring 11 on the lower roller 3.
- lateral support elements 24, particularly mobile lateral legs 24, which are rotating by gravity, can be provided on the lateral ends of the second roller 3.
- a support element 24 may be provided for each end of said second roller 3.
- Each support element 24 is rotated at the respective end of said second roller 3 and is adapted to come into contact with the lower edge 14 of the opening 12 when said assembly, during its use, is in said use position.
- each one of said support elements 24 may preferably have a substantially triangular shape, wherein the vertex is secured in rotation to the respective end of said second roller 3 and the two base ends are suitable, during use, to come into contact with the lower edge 14 of said opening 12 in said use position to provide greater stability to the second roller 3.
- a counterweight 7 may be provided in order to contribute to the mass of said second roller 3.
- a lever 25 may be provided hinged to one of said ends of said second roller 3 and said counterweight 7 is coupled to one end of said lever 25 which is free to rotate with respect to the tie point without interfering with the resting of the support member 24 on the lower edge 14 of the opening 12.
- it can vary their distance from the centre of gravity, or the lever centre, and the weight of the counterweight 7.
- a third roller 26, coupled to the second end of the lever 25, may be provided and disposed above the second roller 3 in the opposite position with respect to the direction of the shade 4.
- Said third roller 26 is arranged so as to come into contact with said shade 4 so as to accompany the winding/unwinding of the shade 4.
- the lower end of the shade 4 is solidly coupled to the second roller 3, as shown in the variant of figure 11 , wherein the lower end of the shade 4 has a pocket shape to accommodate said second roller 3.
- a portion of said pocket is rigidly coupled to said second roller 3.
- said second roller 3 may have a seat 27 suitable to accommodate a portion of said pocket and the assembly 1 can provide a locking element 28, e.g. a rubber, having a shape suitable for insertion into said seat 27 to lock said pocket in position.
- said pocket may be coupled to said second roller 3 by means of a fastening rivet.
- roller shade 1 in the darkening version, provides that rollers 2 and 3 are contained in a respective large size containment element 5 and 6; further there are provided side guides 29 capable of partially covering the side edges of the shade 4 to prevent external light from passing through said opening 12 towards the interior of the environment where the shade 1 is placed.
- a single-wall guide 29 will be provided with a brush preventing passage of the light, on which the fabric of shade 4 will be in continuous engagement, driven in said guide 29 by two rollers, respectively one upper roll 30 and one lower roll 31 , conditioning the change in diameter of the control rollers 2 and 3.
- the assembly 1 according to the invention in the darkening version, may comprise a side guide 29 on each side of said rollers 2 and 3, two further secondary rollers 30 and 31 having the centre of the respective misaligned axis in the centre of the axis of the main rollers 2 and 3 and arranged in such a position as to come in contact with said shade 4 so as to bring the edges of said shade 4 into said lateral guides 29 to obscure the light which could possibly pass laterally from said opening 12.
- Said guides are additional elements to the assembly according to the invention and have the main purpose of recalculating light for systems where a hard dark is required.
- the containment element or box 6 has a shape with the largest weight on the side where it must oppose to the moment of the return spring and has the possibility to vary said weight with the addition of heavy metal profiles.
- the bottom box 6 containing the second roller 3 and the fabric of the shade 4 has a chamber that can be weighed with internal metal profiles to counteract the rotational movement generated by the spring 11.
- the bottom box tends to rotate by 30°, its shape will be rounded as well as the end caps 52, having a slightly larger diameter.
- a tooth 58 will be obtained on the lower portion of the header or lateral cover 52 of the lower case 6, which will stabilize the whole allowing the winding of the fabric without rotation-translational movements.
- the lateral cover 52 thus acts as a support element for the assembly 1.
- the tooth 58 is positioned at the centre of gravity b of the second roller 3.
- the side cover 52 has a diameter slightly above the diameter of the containment element 6 of the second roller 3 to facilitate the resting on the sill/floor 14 of the opening 12 to be covered.
- the roller shade 1 is of the extensible articulated arm 32 type for covering and protecting an area to be covered, such as a terrace, a patio, or an outside portion of a garden.
- the shade 1 includes two rollers 2 and 3 and a shade 4 capable of winding/unwinding between said rollers 2 and 3.
- the displacement force acting on said second roller 3 to move it away from said first roller 2, to move the shade from the not use position (figure 15a) to the operating position (figure 15b) is exerted by said articulated arms 32 which exert a push force Fs on said second roller 3.
- the thrust force Fs is due by additional mechanical or powered driving means, acting on said arms 32 when opening/closing.
- said thrust force Fs and return means 11 are configured so that when the shade 1 is not in said use position, the thrust force Fs acting on said second roller 3 is greater than or equal to the resulting forces of the return torque M3+ of the return means 11 so as to prevent the shade 4 from sliding on said second roller 3 to cover the area to be shielded, and so that when said assembly 1 is in said use position, the thrusting force Fs acting on said second roller 3 is lower than the resulting forces of said return torque M 3+ , so as to allow the sliding of said shade 4 on said second roller 3 by the action of said driving means 9.
- the use position of use necessarily correspond to the total opening of the arms 32, but also the partial opening of the arms 32 to cover a smaller area.
- the solution according to this embodiment advantageously allows to have different fabrics for shade 4, for example one of the permeable filtering types for the summer season and one watertight for the winter season.
- the solution according to the present invention can also be applied to roller shades for skylights, as shown in the embodiment of figures 16a - 16c.
- the roller shade 2 comprises, in addition to the two rollers 2 and 3, a third roller 33, said rollers 2, 3 and 33 having parallel axes and being arranged transversely to the opening/closing direction of the shade 4 for covering an opening 12 of a skylight.
- the first stationary roller 2 is driven by driving means 9, such as a chain, a winch or a motor.
- the second movable roller 3, driven by the first roller 2 provides return means, particularly a spring 11.
- the shade 4 is wound and slides while winding/unwinding on the two rollers 2 and 3.
- the function of the displacement force between the two rollers 2 and 3 is in this case made by a third roller 33, further comprising return means 34, particularly a spring, configured in such a way to exert a return force F r on said second roller 3 when said assembly 1 is in said non use position.
- the spring 34 is loaded to the maximum when the shade 4 is completely wound on the first roller 2, returning the second roller 3 towards itself by exercising said return force F r .
- the driving means 9 have a winding torque M2- on said shade 4 so that it is greater than said return force F r so that only when the shade 4 is rotated the second roller 2 is pulled towards the third roller 3.
- axis 2 has a limit allowing its starting and the axis 3 loading.
- the system according to the invention can validly be used to solve a particularly perceived problem in the commercial sector: the protection of the displayed goods by the sun's rays.
- the top of the showcases is protected by balconies or shades, but the same is not valid for the bottom of the showcases.
- the second portion of fabric 42 will have an opening 60 between two fabric straps 61 so as not to cover the upper part of the showcase and can frame the showcase, wounding above about the first driving roller 2. More generally, at least one portion is not covered, but for minimal parts, on the lateral edges.
- roller shades such as, for example, interior shades, vertical and horizontal shades, mosquito nets, gravity fall sun shades or arm supported shades.
- roller shade 1 advantageously utilizes a single shade with different characteristics.
