- the sheet for providing the infrared reflection layer 33 on the concave surface 31b is a thermal transfer sheet
- the release sheet is provided with a release layer.
- the infrared reflection layer 33 is provided on the release layer, and the adhesive layer 34 is provided on the infrared reflection layer 33. Then, the adhesive layer 34 is adhered to the concave surface 31b.
- the thermal transfer sheet is pressed against the concave surface 31b and further heated, so that the infrared reflection layer 33 is fixed to the concave surface 31b by the adhesive layer 34.
- the release sheet is released from the infrared reflection layer 33 at the location of the release layer.
- the infrared reflection layer 33 is a metal thin film and has a thickness that allows the ground color of the base 31 to slightly pass through. As a result, the color of the surface can be changed by changing the ground color of the concave surface 31b.

- each slat 12 is tilted at the normal closed state or the reverse closed state according to the rotation direction by rotating the tilt pole 18.
- the environment near the building is as follows during the daytime.
- Sunlight radiation 111 such as sunlight enters the room 100 through the window glass 101, and a part thereof is reflected by the window glass 101 (1).
- the sunlight radiation 111 is partially absorbed by the window glass 101, but most of the sunlight radiation 111 passes through the window glass 101 and reflected by the slats 103 of the horizontal blind 102, then is again emitted out of the room 100 through the window glass 101 (2).
- the horizontal blind 102 is a conventional horizontal blind in which a sunlight reflection layer is provided only on one surface of the slats 103.
- Part of the sunlight radiation 111 transmitted through the window glass 101 is absorbed by the slats 103 and converted into thermal energy, thereby warming the slats 103 (3). Further, a part of the sunlight radiation 111 passes through the gap between the slats 103 (4).
- the slats 103 heated by the sunlight radiation emit radiant heat by far-infrared rays (5).
- the inside of the room 100 is conditioned by an air conditioner or the like. However, when the air between the window glass 101 and the horizontal blind 102 is heated, convection occurs due to the temperature difference between the space and the room space, and as a result, convection heat flows into the room (6).
- the space inside the horizontal blind 102 of the room 100 is heated by the sunlight radiation (4) passing through the gap between the slats 103, the radiant heat from the slat 103 by far-infrared rays (5), and the convective heat (6) between the window glass 101 and the horizontal blind 102.
- the horizontal blind 10 to which the present invention is applied is in a state in which the slats 12 are lowered and tilted at the normal closed state. This is because the slats 12 are less likely to allow sunlight to enter the room from the gap between the adjacent slats 12 tilted at the normal closed state than tilted at the reverse closed state.
- the illustration of the adhesive layer 34 and the primer layer 35 is omitted.
- the sunlight reflection layer 32 located on the convex surface 31a faces the direction of the window glass 101
- the infrared reflection layer 33 located on the concave surface 31b faces the indoor side.
- the surface of the slats 12 on the side of the window glass 101 (outdoor side) is provided with the sunlight reflection layer 32 and has a high sunlight reflectance, and can reflect most of the sunlight radiation 111, and thus suppresses a temperature rise of the slats 12 (11).
- the slats 12 are heated by part of the sunlight radiation 111 and emit radiant heat 112, but most of the radiant heat is emitted to the window glass 101 side (outdoor side) due to the presence of the infrared reflection layer 33 and emission of the radiant heat to the indoor side is suppressed (12). Further, a room 100 whose temperature is close to room temperature (about 25°C) emits radiant heat 113 by far-infrared rays, but the infrared reflection layer 33 reflects this radiant heat 113 to prevent the heat in the room from escaping outside (13).
- the horizontal blind 10 in a daytime in winter or the like, it is preferable that the horizontal blind 10 is in a state in which the slats 12 are lowered and tilted at the reverse closed state.
- the infrared reflection layer 33 located on the concave surface 31b faces the direction of the window glass 101
- the sunlight reflection layer 32 located on the convex surface 31a faces the indoor side.
- Most of the sunlight radiation 111 from the window glass 101 can pass through the infrared reflection layer 33 to heat the slats 12, and thus the slats 12 can emit the radiant heat 114 to the indoor side through the sunlight reflection layer 32 to warm the room (14).
- the infrared reflection layer 33 suppresses the radiant heat 114 from being emitted to the outdoor side.
- the state shown in Fig. 5 is preferable when there is no sunshine due to cloudiness in the daytime in winter or at night. This is because far-infrared rays emitted from the room can be reflected by the infrared reflection layer 33 facing the indoor side, and the escape of indoor heat to the outside can be suppressed (13).
- the horizontal blind 10 as described above can obtain the effects listed below.
- the slats 12 may be provided with an antifouling layer 36 on the sunlight reflection layer 32.
- the antifouling layer 36 may be formed by coating a fluororesin, or may be provided with titanium oxide on the upper layer of the underlayer. This can prevent the sunlight reflection layer 32 from being soiled.
- the slats 12 may be provided with a protection layer 37 on the infrared reflection layer 33.
- the protection layer 37 may be an antioxidant layer for preventing the infrared reflection layer 33 from being oxidized, or may be a hard coat layer having a function of preventing damage.
- the protection layer 37 is, for example, a release layer of a thermal transfer sheet. Also, the protection layer 37 may be configured by further coating paint on the upper layer of the release layer.
- the infrared reflection layer 33 of the slats 12 may be configured by directly applying and drying a coating material (paint) containing an infrared reflection material to the concave surface 31b by using a coating device such as a roller coater, instead of by the thermal transfer.
- a coating material such as a roller coater
- the adhesive layer 34 can be omitted, and the slats 12 can be made thinner and lighter.
- the primer layer 35 may be omitted, or may be made of a material suitable for paint.
- a coloring material can be mixed, and the degree of freedom in designing the infrared reflection layer 33 can be increased.

- As shown in
Figs. 1 and2 , a horizontal blind 10 includes ahead box 11 attached to an attachment portion such as a ceiling, a window frame, a curtain box, and the like, andmultiple slats 12 as a shielding member for shielding sunlight radiation. The horizontal blind 10 includes threeladder cords 13 as a support member hung from thehead box 11, abottom rail 14 located below thelowermost slat 12, and first andsecond lift cords bottom rail 14. Further, thefirst lift cords 15a and theladder cords 13 are arranged at each of both ends in the longitudinal direction of theslats 12, and thesecond lift cords 15b and theladder cord 13 are arranged at an intermediate part in the longitudinal direction of theslats 12. - The
slats 12 are formed in an elongated rectangular thin plate shape, and the lower surface, which is one surface, is formed of an arc-shaped concave surface, and the upper surface, which is the other surface, is formed of an arc-shaped convex surface. Themultiple slats 12 are arranged along a vertical direction that is the height direction of the horizontal blind 10, and are supported byladder cords 13 hung from thehead box 11 so as to be tilt-adjustable. Thebottom rail 14 having substantially the same length as theslat 12 is disposed below thelowermost slat 12. - The
bottom rail 14 functions as a weight member when maintaining a state in which themultiple slats 12 are lowered, and is formed of a metal material such as SECC (electrolytic zinc-coated carbon steel sheets). Thebottom rail 14 functions as a weight member when maintaining a state in which themultiple slats 12 are lowered, and is formed of a metal material such as SECC (electro-galvanized zinc plated steel). Thebottom rail 14 has substantially the same length in the longitudinal direction and the width in the short direction as theslats 12, and when thebottom rail 14 is raised, themultiple slats 12 are stacked on thebottom rail 14. Theladder cord 13 is connected to thebottom rail 14. Further, thebottom rail 14 is connected to the first andsecond lift cords head box 11, and is hung from thehead box 11 by the first andsecond lift cords - In each of the
multiple slats 12 constituting the slat group, athrough hole 21 is arranged at both ends in the longitudinal direction of theslats 12 and at the center in the front-rear direction, i.e. the short direction. The throughhole 21 has a rectangular shape with the long side in the short direction. Thesecond lift cords 15b are disposed at the center in the longitudinal direction of theslats 12, along the opposing side edges of theslat 12 in the front-rear direction. Theslats 12 does not have a through hole required for inserting thesecond lift cords 15b. At the center in the longitudinal direction of theslats 12, the above-described through-hole is not formed, so that high light-shielding properties can be obtained. - A
tilt pole 18 as an operation unit for raising and lowering thebottom rail 14 and anequalizer 19 provided at the tip of thetilt pole 18 are arranged near one end of thehead box 11 in the longitudinal direction. When thetilt pole 18 is rotated left and right, theslats 12 are tilted by raising and lowering the warp cords of theladder cords 13 in opposite directions based on the rotation. Thetilt pole 18 rotates theslat 12 by being rotated left and right, and can switch between a fully closed state and a fully opened state. Theequalizer 19 can raise thebottom rail 14 and theslat 12 by being pulled downward, and can stop the raising of thebottom rail 14 and theslat 12 halfway by being stopped. As thebottom rail 14 is raised, themultiple slats 12 are stacked on thebottom rail 14 in order from a position near thebottom rail 14. When theslats 12 are to be lowered, theequalizer 19 is slightly pulled downward and loosened. When thebottom rail 14 are to be stopped halfway, theequalizer 19 is pulled again. As thebottom rail 14 descends, each of themultiple slats 12 also descends. - The
ladder cord 13 includes a pair ofwarp cords 13a extending in the height direction of the horizontal blind 10 andweft cords 13b arranged between thewarp cords 13a. Theweft cords 13b supports eachslat 12. Among the threeladder cords 13, thewarp cord 13a of theladder cord 13 along thesecond lift cord 15b has apico 13c through which thesecond lift cord 15b is inserted. Thepico 13c is an annular body formed by pulling out a thread from thewarp cord 13a, and thesecond lift cord 15b is inserted therethrough. - As shown in
Fig. 3 , theslat 12 includes abase 31, asunlight reflection layer 32 provided on a convex surface 31a of thebase 31, and aninfrared reflection layer 33 provided on aconcave surface 31b of thebase 31. - The
base 31 is formed of a synthetic resin plate, a metal plate of aluminum, stainless steel, or the like, and is formed of a light-shielding material. Further, thebase 31 may be formed of flameproof material, or may be formed of a wooden board. Thebase 31 has an arcuate cross section and has opposing surfaces formed of the convex surface 31a and theconcave surface 31b. The convex surface 31a faces the outdoor side and theconcave surface 31b faces the indoor side when theslat 12 is at the normal closed state. At the normal closed state, when viewed from the outdoor side, theupper slat 12 is arranged so as to overlap the lower slat in the vertically adjacent pair ofslats 12. This makes it difficult for sunlight radiation to enter the room through the gap between the pair ofslats 12. Here, aluminum is used for thebase 31. Thebase 31 is provided with aprimer layer 35 serving as a base for anadhesive layer 34 of theinfrared reflection layer 33. - The
sunlight reflection layer 32 reflects sunlight from visible light to near-infrared light (wavelength of about 380 nm to 2500 nm). Thesunlight reflection layer 32 is formed by applying and drying a thermal barrier coating material (painting material) containing sunlight reflecting constituent such as aluminum using a coating device such as a roller coater. As an example, thesunlight reflection layer 32 is formed on the convex surface 31a of the base 31 so that the film thickness is about 10 µm. Further, the thermal barrier coating material includes a coloring material such as a pigment, and by changing the coloring material, the convex surface of theslat 12 can be colored in various colors. Thesunlight reflection layer 32 is provided on the convex surface 31a facing the outdoor side at the normal closed state in which the amount of sunlight radiation entering the room can be reduced, so that more sunlight can be reflected outside the room. - The
infrared reflection layer 33 is a layer that reflects most of the infrared rays, particularly far-infrared rays (wavelength: about 10 µm to 20 µm). Also, theinfrared reflection layer 33 is, in other words, the infrared-low-emission layer in which infrared emission, especially far-infrared emission is lower than thebase 31. Here, the emission is lower than the aluminum of thebase 31. In addition, theinfrared reflection layer 33 transmits sunlight, for example. Theinfrared reflection layer 33 is made of, for example, a metal thin film containing silver or metal oxide (such as zinc oxide or tin oxide), and is made of, for example, Low-E (Low Emissivity). Theinfrared reflection layer 33 is adhered to thebase 31 by anadhesive layer 34. As an example, theinfrared reflection layer 33 is provided on theconcave surface 31b of the base 31 by thermal transfer. - The sheet for providing the
infrared reflection layer 33 on theconcave surface 31b is a thermal transfer sheet, the release sheet is provided with a release layer. Theinfrared reflection layer 33 is provided on the release layer, and theadhesive layer 34 is provided on theinfrared reflection layer 33. Then, theadhesive layer 34 is adhered to theconcave surface 31b. After that, the thermal transfer sheet is pressed against theconcave surface 31b and further heated, so that theinfrared reflection layer 33 is fixed to theconcave surface 31b by theadhesive layer 34. After that, the release sheet is released from theinfrared reflection layer 33 at the location of the release layer. Theinfrared reflection layer 33 is a metal thin film and has a thickness that allows the ground color of the base 31 to slightly pass through. As a result, the color of the surface can be changed by changing the ground color of theconcave surface 31b. As an example, theadhesive layer 34 for adhering theinfrared reflection layer 33 is formed to have a thickness of about 10 µm to 20 µm. - The
slat 12 as described above is manufactured by providing thesunlight reflection layer 32 on the convex surface 31a of thebase 31 and then thermally transferring theadhesive layer 34 and theinfrared reflection layer 33 to theconcave surface 31b. - Next, the operation of the horizontal blind 10 configured as described above will be described.
- The horizontal blind 10 is attached to a window frame of an attaching target such that the
bottom rail 14 is positioned below the lower frame of the window frame when thebottom rail 14 is lowered. When theequalizer 19 is pulled down to raise theslats 12 and thebottom rail 14, thebottom rail 14 of the horizontal blind 10 is raised so that themultiple slats 12 are stacked on thebottom rail 14 in order from a position near thebottom rail 14. When lowering theslats 12 and thebottom rail 14, theequalizer 19 is slightly pulled down so that thebottom rail 14 can descend, and as thebottom rail 14 descends, each of the multiple slats also descends. In addition, eachslat 12 is tilted at the normal closed state or the reverse closed state according to the rotation direction by rotating thetilt pole 18. - As shown in
Fig. 4 , the environment near the building is as follows during the daytime.Sunlight radiation 111 such as sunlight enters theroom 100 through thewindow glass 101, and a part thereof is reflected by the window glass 101 (1). Thesunlight radiation 111 is partially absorbed by thewindow glass 101, but most of thesunlight radiation 111 passes through thewindow glass 101 and reflected by theslats 103 of the horizontal blind 102, then is again emitted out of theroom 100 through the window glass 101 (2). Here, inFig. 4 , the horizontal blind 102 is a conventional horizontal blind in which a sunlight reflection layer is provided only on one surface of theslats 103. Part of thesunlight radiation 111 transmitted through thewindow glass 101 is absorbed by theslats 103 and converted into thermal energy, thereby warming the slats 103 (3). Further, a part of thesunlight radiation 111 passes through the gap between the slats 103 (4). Theslats 103 heated by the sunlight radiation emit radiant heat by far-infrared rays (5). Normally, the inside of theroom 100 is conditioned by an air conditioner or the like. However, when the air between thewindow glass 101 and the horizontal blind 102 is heated, convection occurs due to the temperature difference between the space and the room space, and as a result, convection heat flows into the room (6). That is, the space inside thehorizontal blind 102 of theroom 100 is heated by the sunlight radiation (4) passing through the gap between theslats 103, the radiant heat from theslat 103 by far-infrared rays (5), and the convective heat (6) between thewindow glass 101 and thehorizontal blind 102. - As shown in
Fig. 5 , in the daytime in summer or the like, it is preferable that the horizontal blind 10 to which the present invention is applied is in a state in which theslats 12 are lowered and tilted at the normal closed state. This is because theslats 12 are less likely to allow sunlight to enter the room from the gap between theadjacent slats 12 tilted at the normal closed state than tilted at the reverse closed state. InFigs. 5 and6 , the illustration of theadhesive layer 34 and theprimer layer 35 is omitted. - In this case, the
sunlight reflection layer 32 located on the convex surface 31a faces the direction of thewindow glass 101, and theinfrared reflection layer 33 located on theconcave surface 31b faces the indoor side. The surface of theslats 12 on the side of the window glass 101 (outdoor side) is provided with thesunlight reflection layer 32 and has a high sunlight reflectance, and can reflect most of thesunlight radiation 111, and thus suppresses a temperature rise of the slats 12 (11). Theslats 12 are heated by part of thesunlight radiation 111 and emitradiant heat 112, but most of the radiant heat is emitted to thewindow glass 101 side (outdoor side) due to the presence of theinfrared reflection layer 33 and emission of the radiant heat to the indoor side is suppressed (12). Further, aroom 100 whose temperature is close to room temperature (about 25°C) emitsradiant heat 113 by far-infrared rays, but theinfrared reflection layer 33 reflects thisradiant heat 113 to prevent the heat in the room from escaping outside (13). - As shown in
Fig. 6 , in a daytime in winter or the like, it is preferable that the horizontal blind 10 is in a state in which theslats 12 are lowered and tilted at the reverse closed state. In this case, theinfrared reflection layer 33 located on theconcave surface 31b faces the direction of thewindow glass 101, and thesunlight reflection layer 32 located on the convex surface 31a faces the indoor side. Most of thesunlight radiation 111 from thewindow glass 101 can pass through theinfrared reflection layer 33 to heat theslats 12, and thus theslats 12 can emit theradiant heat 114 to the indoor side through thesunlight reflection layer 32 to warm the room (14). At this time, theinfrared reflection layer 33 suppresses theradiant heat 114 from being emitted to the outdoor side. - However, the state shown in
Fig. 5 is preferable when there is no sunshine due to cloudiness in the daytime in winter or at night. This is because far-infrared rays emitted from the room can be reflected by theinfrared reflection layer 33 facing the indoor side, and the escape of indoor heat to the outside can be suppressed (13). - The horizontal blind 10 as described above can obtain the effects listed below.
- (1) Since the
infrared reflection layer 33 is provided on theconcave surface 31b of thebase 31 via theadhesive layer 34, theslats 12 can be made thinner than the slats in the prior art that adhere the film provided with aninfrared reflection layer 33 to thebase 31. Accordingly, the weight of theslats 12 and the weight of the horizontal blind 10 can be reduced. In addition, as the weight of theslats 12 is reduced, the operation force for raising and lowering theslats 12 is reduced, and in this respect, the operability can be improved. Further, in the horizontal blind 10 can reduce the folding dimension when thebottom rail 14 is raised in the direction of thehead box 11. Thereby, the design of the horizontal blind 10 can be improved. - (2) Since the
infrared reflection layer 33 is provided by thermal transfer, production efficiency can be improved. As a comparative example, when theinfrared reflection layer 33 is provided with paint, the drying time of the paint is required. However, when theinfrared reflection layer 33 is provided by thermal transfer, the time corresponding to the drying time of the paint can be reduced, and the production efficiency can be improved. - As shown in
Fig. 7 , theslats 12 may be provided with anantifouling layer 36 on thesunlight reflection layer 32. Theantifouling layer 36 may be formed by coating a fluororesin, or may be provided with titanium oxide on the upper layer of the underlayer. This can prevent thesunlight reflection layer 32 from being soiled. - Further, the
slats 12 may be provided with aprotection layer 37 on theinfrared reflection layer 33. Theprotection layer 37 may be an antioxidant layer for preventing theinfrared reflection layer 33 from being oxidized, or may be a hard coat layer having a function of preventing damage. Theprotection layer 37 is, for example, a release layer of a thermal transfer sheet. Also, theprotection layer 37 may be configured by further coating paint on the upper layer of the release layer. - As shown in
Fig. 8 , theinfrared reflection layer 33 of theslats 12 may be configured by directly applying and drying a coating material (paint) containing an infrared reflection material to theconcave surface 31b by using a coating device such as a roller coater, instead of by the thermal transfer. In this case, theadhesive layer 34 can be omitted, and theslats 12 can be made thinner and lighter. Further, theprimer layer 35 may be omitted, or may be made of a material suitable for paint. Also, in the case of paint, a coloring material can be mixed, and the degree of freedom in designing theinfrared reflection layer 33 can be increased. - The above-described horizontal blind 10 can be further modified and implemented as described below.
- The
infrared reflection layer 33 has a metallic luster because it is made of a metal thin film. Then, when theinfrared reflection layer 33 faces the room, the circumstances of the room is reflected on the surface of theslats 12. Therefore, the surface of theinfrared reflection layer 33 may be performed a diffuse reflection processing such as matte processing and the surface may be a non-directional matte surface as a diffuse reflection processing surface. The diffuse reflection processing may be performed on theinfrared reflection layer 33, or on theprotection layer 37 in the second embodiment. Thereby, the design of the horizontal blind 10 is improved, and the horizontal blind 10 can be easily used. - The
sunlight reflection layer 32 is not limited to the configuration where a heat-shielding coating material (paint) is applied and provided. As an example, a film provided with thesunlight reflection layer 32 may be adhered to thebase 31. - The
infrared reflection layer 33 is not limited to the configuration provided by the thermal transfer if provided on thebase 31 via theadhesive layer 34. - The
slat 12 may be a flat plate having flat surfaces on both sides instead of a configuration having a convex surface and a concave surface. - The
slats 12 may be provided with asunlight reflection layer 32 on a concave surface and aninfrared reflection layer 33 on a convex surface. - The shielding member such as the
slats 12 only needs to have theinfrared reflection layer 33 on one surface, and thesunlight reflection layer 32 on the other surface may be omitted. - The metal thin film of the
infrared reflection layer 33 may be formed directly on thebase 31 by a sputtering method or a CVD method. - As a lifting and lowering member, a lift tape may be used in addition to the lift cord. Also, the ladder code may be a ladder tape.
- The horizontal blind can also be applied to an electric horizontal blind system. The electric blind system includes an electric blind that moves up and down and tilts the
slat 12 electrically using a motor or the like as a drive source, a sensor that is installed outdoors or the like to detect sunlight radiation, and a control device for controlling the tilting and lifting/lowering operation of theslats 12. The control device can perform switching settings such as summer and winter. The control device performs control to tilt theslats 12 as shown inFig. 5 during the daytime in summer or the like (when the sensor detects sunlight radiation in summer). On the other hand, the control device performs control to tilt theslats 12 as shown inFig. 6 during the daytime in winter or the like (when sunlight radiation is detected in winter). When theslats 12 are applied to the electric blind system, the tilt control of theslats 12 can be automatically performed according to the sunlight radiation, and the energy-saving effect can be enhanced. - The present invention may be applied to vertical slats of a vertical blind. In this case, an infrared reflection layer may be provided on at least one surface of the vertical slat which is a shielding member hung from the support member in the head box.
- Further, the present invention may be applied to a roll screen or a pleated screen. In this case, a screen such as a cloth serving as a shielding member is moved up and down by a support member hanging down from the head box. At this time, an infrared reflection layer may be provided on one surface of the screen. The screen preferably has a flameproofing performance.
- In addition, the slats can be applied to a louver or the like assembled in parallel with a gap in a frame as a support member.
- The sunshine shielding device such as a horizontal blind may be disposed between the inner window and the outer window. Further, it may be disposed inside the translucent partition.
