Description

HORIZONTAL PARTITION DEVICE FOR ROLLING BLINDS

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

S

the present invention, as expressed in the statement herein

descriptive, refers to a horizontal partition device for blinds

roller, which presents a series of relevant and advantageous features

compared to other devices that are known for the same purpose. Comes to

improve conventional utilization techniques, resulting in a

10

solution, which will allow the use and maintenance of the blind in

situations in which the conventional solution prevents enjoying this useful

element.

The advantage of large glazed surfaces in homes, which

They provide a great luminosity, sunshine and enjoy the views, it is

fifteen

decreased in the period in which the interior light that illuminates the room, allows

The view from the outside. The possibility of dividing the blind into two parts,

the lower one being blind and fixed, and keeping the upper one running,

It allows intimacy inside.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

twenty

Various devices are currently known that allow to carry out

the division of the blind into at least two parts, existing anchoring means

selective to join or separate them.

Well, these means of connection or disconnection are very

complicated and it is necessary to perform machining on the slats involved in

25

the union, or interconnecting semilamas, to make the assembly of all its

components. On the contrary the slats of the present invention can be

of continuous manufacturing and cut to the required extent, without the need for more

handling.

Stop means are also known that are necessary to prevent that,

30

Once the blind was divided, the upper part could be hidden

accidentally in the drum when acting on the blind tape. Such means

they are not completely reliable and resistant because they are basically materialized by a

strap that emerges abroad when dividing and after moving the hooks

of the bolt type that the anchor mechanism includes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In general, the horizontal partition device for roller blinds, which the invention proposes, consists of the design and manufacture of two slat portions that are coupled to the existing upper and lower and that connect to each other by means of a simple mechanism, so that on the outside they maintain the same appearance and uniformity of the blind, the partition or sliding system being housed inside, having the same thickness as the rest of the slats to allow the correct winding in the drum when the two parts of the Blinds are joined.

The partition device is a zipper that will preferably carry a longitudinal protrusion of circular section at the edges of the belt, which will be housed in a respective channel that is provided for in each of the component parts of the dividing slat.

The zipper is closed using a cursor or sliding carriage provided with a handle that facilitates its handling. Each part of the zipper is housed in the corresponding part of the dividing plank and solidly fixed to it.

For blinds that remain divided for quite some time, for convenience of handling and aesthetics, "half slats" with an inverted T and T-shaped section have been designed that will serve respectively, as a trim trim for the fixed part and as stop means in the mobile part to prevent it from entering the drum drawer of the blind.

These closing slats will have the corresponding zips similar to those of the dividing slat inserted.

To facilitate the cleaning of the outer face, it is provided that the blind is connected to the axis of the drum through anchors of sufficient length so that once the lower area of the blind is removed and removed, the suspension means of the same and allow the disconnection. For this, simple unlocking means are provided, such as arranging adjacent two recesses made in the slat, which are accessed with a simple deviation of said anchors.

To prevent accidental winding of the upper part in the drawer, there are quick and easy positioning stops that consist of a U-shaped piece that hugs the half-blade by pressing a screw, which

on one end it has a larger diameter washer and on the other a cone trunk to practice the stop.

The zipper of selective attachment or separation of both forming parts of the dividing slat, as well as joining the stop means and the embellishing element, can be of any type and material, even those that are not formed by teeth, such as of the type of continuous band of plastic closure.

To facilitate the understanding of the features of the invention and forming an integral part of this specification, some sheets of drawings are attached in whose figures, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT:

Referring to the numbering adopted in the figures and especially to figures 1 and 2, we can see how the dividing plank (1) is formed by the upper part (2) and the lower part (3). The upper component (4) of the zipper tape (5) is anchored in the upper part (2). The lower component (6) of this is anchored to the lower part (3) of the dividing slat (1).

As can be seen more clearly in figures 3 and 4, the profile of the upper part (2) and lower part (3), internally include the receiving and anchoring rail (7) of the components (4) and (6) of the Zipper tape (S), for which they have a backing (8). In figure 3 the zipper (5) is closed and the blind is not divided, united in a single canvas. The closing cursor (9) is easily accessible by the internal face of the blind since the profiles (2) and (3) have their respective tabs (10) and (11) distant, advantageously over the entire length of the slat of division (1).

The outer flange (12) of the upper profile (2) internally has an angled pin (13) to form an inner receiving rail of the outer flange (14) of the lower profile (3) of the dividing slat (1). In this way the union is optimized and at the same time the passage of water into the interior is prevented.

The return (8) anchoring of the zipper tape (5) can be formed in the fabric itself or by means of a receiver eyelet of a rigid rigid core. references (15) and (16) define the articulated connection means of the different slats (17) of the blind.

In relation to Figure S, the reference (18) designates in general the stop means to avoid the total winding of the upper part of the blind and that escapes through the access opening to the drawer (19) thereof.

These stop means have an inverted "T" shape and are formed by the crossbar (20) and the soul (21). The core (21) has a profile similar to that of connecting the lower part (3) of the dividing slat (1) and similarly has another rail (7) receiving the regruesado (8) of the zipper tape (S) , as well as of the tab (14) of introduction in the rail (13) of the upper profile (2) of the dividing blade (1), being retained after the closure of the zipper (5).

the inner face of the stop profile (18) has another flange (11) that faces and is distant from the flange (10) of the upper profile (2) of the dividing slat (1), to allow the opening and closing of the zipper (5) by the corresponding cursor (9).

As planned, the lower part of the blind that rests on the floor or at a desired height, can be fitted with a trim element

(22)

which in turn protects the lower part of the slat of division (1). This bezel joins in the same way as the stopper element (18), by having the component (4) of the zipper tape (5) anchored to its rail

(7)

And proceed to close it.

Figure 6 shows the manual positioning stops in the upper profile (2) of the dividing slat (1). If the operation of division is going to be of short duration, for example cleaning, to prevent accidentally, the top of the blind is hidden in the drawer (19) stops are placed

(26) that are fastened to the upper profile (2) by pressure of the washer (27) integral with the screw (28) screwed into one of the U-shaped body wings (29) of the stop (26). At the other end of the screw (28), the conical piece (30), which serves as a stop in the slot of the drawer (19), is threaded.

Referring now to figure 7, in it we can see in position a) the blind completely lowered to fulfill its function, behaving the division slat (1) like any of the others (17). In position b), the blind has been lowered and the zipper (5) is run to disconnect the upper part of the blind, then raising it. In this situation, as can be seen in position c), the lower section of the blind can be removed in the usual way to clean it. Once removed, the upper section of the blind can be completely lowered until the hooks (23) of the same are exposed to the axis of the winding drum (24), as can be clearly seen in the enlarged detail of position d) of this figure 7 to which we are referring. Then and after unhooking the blind (see position e) you can proceed to disassemble this upper section as shown by position f) and thus finish the cleaning tasks without acting on the drawer of the blind.

The anchoring hooks (23) are therefore of a length longer than usual and in the upper strip (17) there are provided disconnection means materialized in this preferred embodiment, by a recess (25) adjacent to the hook ( 23) corresponding. Simply move the hook (23) gently so that it is easily removed and the blind is free for cleaning that is done without the cumbersome task of disassembling the lid of the drawer of the blind.
