Description

  The present invention relates to a curtain fabric that is attached to a horizontal blind in which a plurality of horizontal slats are supported vertically at a predetermined interval so as to cover the plurality of horizontal slats from the front surface or the rear surface.

  For example, a lace curtain is attached to the window of the building as having a characteristic that the room cannot be seen from the outside during the daytime, the outside scenery can be seen from the room, and soft light is taken in. On the other hand, lace curtains have the disadvantages of being insufficiently shielded when sunlight is strong, and that the room can be seen from the outside at night. For this reason, for example, a plurality of horizontal slats are arranged side by side at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction, and a horizontal blind that adjusts the lighting by changing the inclination of the slats by a ladder cord is provided along with the race curtain. However, if a curtain and a blind are provided side by side, the curtain and the blind must be operated separately, which is troublesome and inconvenient. Further, both the curtain and the blind need to be installed, and the installation must be performed separately, increasing the number of installation steps.

In order to solve this problem, a curtain fabric that is attached to a blind (see, for example, Patent Document 1) has been proposed. This blind with curtain fabric is a horizontal blind in which a plurality of horizontal slats are supported vertically by a ladder cord suspended from the head rail, and the curtain fabric is opposed to each other so that the plurality of slats are sandwiched from the front and back. The curtain fabric facing each other is attached to the ladder cord. In this blind with curtain fabric, the curtain fabric that is opposed to each other maintains the soft atmosphere of the curtain, and light shielding adjustment can be performed by tilting the slats in the blind. The curtain fabric and the slats can be raised and lowered simultaneously by raising and lowering the plurality of slats together with the ladder cord.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-20885 (specifications [0006] to [0007], FIG. 1)

However, the slats in the blinds are made of a relatively hard material made of metal or the like, and the cleaning is often performed by wiping cleaning using a handy mop or the like. On the other hand, in general cleaning of curtain fabric, the curtain fabric is removed and washed, and then attached again. For this reason, in the conventional blinds with curtain fabric in which the curtain fabrics are opposed to each other so that a plurality of slats of the horizontal blind are sandwiched from the front and back, and the opposed curtain fabrics are respectively attached to the ladder cord, the curtain fabric is removed from the blinds. This makes it difficult to clean both the plurality of slats and the curtain fabric attached to cover the plurality of slats. There is also a desire to change the pattern by removing the curtain fabric from the blind or changing the curtain fabric depending on the season. Therefore, it is convenient if the curtain fabric is detachable from the horizontal blind.
An object of the present invention is to provide a blind curtain fabric that is relatively easy to attach to and detach from a horizontal blind.

As shown in FIG. 1, the invention according to claim 1 is attached to a horizontal blind 10 in which a plurality of horizontal slats 14 are supported vertically with a predetermined interval by a ladder cord 13 suspended from a head rail 12. It is an improvement of curtain fabric.
The characteristic configuration includes a fabric body 21 that covers the plurality of slats 14 from the front surface or the rear surface, and a fabric body 21 that is continuous with the fabric body 21 in the width direction so as to correspond to all or part of the plurality of slats 14. A plurality of hinge fabrics 22 with edge edges attached thereto, and a plurality of attachment members 23 provided at predetermined intervals in the width direction of the fabric body 21 at the leading edges of the plurality of hinge fabrics 22, respectively. By the way.

  In the curtain fabric for blinds described in claim 1, the fabric main body 21 in which the base edge of the hinge fabric 22 is attached together with the hinge fabric 22 by a relatively simple operation of removing the tip edge of the hinge fabric 22 from the slat 14. Can be removed from the horizontal blind 10. Therefore, when cleaning the curtain fabric 20, the curtain fabric 20 can be removed from the blind 10 and washed, and the slats 14 in the horizontal blind 10 can be cleaned with the curtain fabric 20 removed. The curtain fabric 20 after cleaning can be attached to the blind 10 again simply by attaching the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22 to the slat 14 by the attachment member 23. Since attachment and removal are facilitated in this way, it is also possible to remove the curtain fabric 20 from the horizontal blind 10 and attach another curtain fabric 20 having a different pattern relatively easily depending on the season.

The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, characterized in that the attachment member is an adhesive tape 23 for affixing the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22 to the slat 14.
The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 1, characterized in that the attachment member is a clip 33 configured to be able to hold the slat 14.
The invention according to claim 4 is the invention according to claim 1, characterized in that the attachment member is a hook-and-loop fastener 43 provided between the tip edge of the hinge fabric 22 and the slat 14.
In the blind curtain fabric described in claims 2 to 4, the tip edge of the hinge fabric 22 can be removed from the slat 14 relatively easily.

  In the blind curtain fabric of the present invention, the fabric body covering the plurality of slats from the front surface or the rear surface, and the base end continuously in the width direction of the fabric body so as to correspond to all or part of the plurality of slats. Since there are a plurality of hinge fabrics with edges attached, and a plurality of attachment members provided at predetermined intervals in the width direction of the fabric body at the leading edges of the plurality of hinge fabrics, By the relatively simple operation of simply removing the leading edge from the slat, the fabric body, the base edge of which is attached together with the hinge fabric, can be removed from the horizontal blind. For this reason, when cleaning the curtain fabric, the curtain fabric can be removed from the blind and washed, and the slats in the horizontal blind can be cleaned with the curtain fabric removed. Then, the curtain fabric after washing can be attached to the blind again only by attaching the leading edge of the hinge fabric to the slat with the attachment member.

Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention relates to a blind curtain fabric 20 attached to a horizontal blind 10. The horizontal blind 10 has a head rail 12 attached to a wall surface or ceiling above an opening such as a window of a building via a mounting bracket 11, and supports a plurality of horizontal slats 14 from the head rail 12. The ladder code 13 is suspended. As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the ladder cord 13 includes a front cord 13a hanging from the head rail 12 to the front side of the horizontal slat 14, and a rear cord 13b hanging from the head rail 12 to the rear side of the horizontal slat 14. And a horizontal cord 13c for connecting the front cord 13a and the rear cord 13b. A plurality of the horizontal cords 13c are provided at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction, and the ladder cord 13 is formed as a whole by the plurality of horizontal cords 13c. It is formed in a shape. The plurality of horizontal slats 14 are respectively mounted on the plurality of horizontal cords 13c in the ladder-like ladder cord 13, and the plurality of horizontal slats 14 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined predetermined distance by the ladder cord 13. Supported. A bottle rail 16 is horizontally attached to the lower end portions of the front cord 13 a and the rear cord 13 b constituting the ladder cord 13 so as to be parallel to the plurality of horizontal slats 14.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a lifting / lowering cord 17 penetrating a plurality of horizontal slats 14 and having a lower end attached to a bottle rail 16 is suspended from the head rail 12. The elevating cord 17 penetrates the plurality of horizontal slats 14 by being loosely inserted into the long holes 14a formed between the front cord 13a and the rear cord 13b of the ladder cord 13 of the plurality of slats 14, respectively. Provided. And as shown in FIG. 4, when the raising / lowering code | cord | chord 17 is raised, the bottle rail 16 attached to the lower end will raise, and it is comprised so that the slat 14 may be mounted | worn in order and raised. Returning to FIG. 1, from the head rail 12, the upper end of the lifting / lowering cord 17 is pulled out to form an operation portion 17 a, and the operation portion 17 a is hung from the head rail 12 by moving away from the head rail 12. The lift cord 17 is lifted to raise the slat 14 as shown in FIG. 4, and the operation portion 17a is brought close to the head rail 12 so that the lift cord 17 suspended from the head rail 12 is lowered and the slat 14 is lowered. Configured.

  Although not shown, a mechanism for vertically moving the front cord 13a or the rear cord 13b in the ladder cord 13 is built in the head rail 12, and the front cord 13a and the rear cord 13b are adjacent to each other as shown in FIG. The rectangular shape drawn by the pair of upper and lower horizontal cords 13c, 13c is configured to be deformable into a parallelogram. As shown in FIG. 1, the head rail 12 is provided with one end of a tilt operation rod 18 for operating a mechanism (not shown). When the tilting operation rod 18 is rotated about its central axis as a center of rotation, one or both of the front cord 13a and the rear cord 13b in the ladder cord 13 is moved up and down by a mechanism provided in the head rail 12, The square drawn by the pair of upper and lower horizontal cords 13c, 13c adjacent to the front cord 13a and the rear cord 13b is transformed into a parallelogram, and as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of slats 14 supported by the horizontal cord 13c. Are configured to be tiltable by the same amount simultaneously in the same direction.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the curtain fabric 20 of the present invention attached to the horizontal blind 10 configured as described above includes a fabric body 21 that covers all of the plurality of slats 14 from the front surface or the rear surface, and a base end of the fabric body 21. And a plurality of hinge fabrics 22 with edges attached. Although it is preferable that the cloth body 21 has a mesh having good transparency and air permeability made of cloth, synthetic resin, or the like, a cloth such as paper may be used. As shown in FIG. 2, the width A of the dough body is formed to be substantially equal to the entire length of the slat 14, and its height H is the height of the bottom rail 16 and the head rail 12 when the bottom rail 16 of the horizontal blind is lowered most. It is formed approximately equal to the interval. Accordingly, the fabric body 21 is configured to cover all of the plurality of slats 14 existing between the bottom rail 16 and the head rail 12 from the front surface or the rear surface.

  The hinge fabric 22 is made by cutting the same fabric as the fabric main body 21 into a strip shape, and the hinge fabric 22 has the same overall length as the width A of the fabric main body 21. On the other hand, the width B of the hinge fabric 22 is formed to be in the range of 2 to 3 cm. This is derived from the fact that the width of the slat 14 to which the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22 is attached by a mounting member 23 which will be described later is generally 2.5 to 3.5 cm. If the width of the hinge fabric 22 exceeds 3 cm, wrinkles will occur in the fabric body 21 if the width B of the hinge fabric 22 exceeds 3 cm. There is a bug to do. The hinge fabric 22 is connected to the fabric body 21 in the width direction of the fabric body 21 with the leading edge thereof facing upward so as to correspond to all or part of the plurality of slats 14. To be dressed. In this embodiment, the case where the base end edges of the plurality of hinge fabrics 22 are attached so as to correspond to all of the plurality of slats 14 is shown.

  A mounting member 23 is provided at each end edge of the plurality of hinge fabrics 22. The attachment member in this embodiment is an adhesive tape 23 for affixing the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22 to the slat 14, and the adhesive tape 23 is arranged at a predetermined interval in the width direction of the fabric body 21 as shown in FIG. A plurality of Cs are provided. The predetermined distance C is determined by the material of the hinge fabric 22 and the adhesive strength of the adhesive tape 23 as an attachment member, and is selected so that the curtain fabric 20 can be attached to the horizontal blind 10 relatively firmly.

  In the blind curtain fabric 20 of the present invention configured as described above, when the distal end edge of the hinge fabric 22 is attached to the slat 14 with the adhesive tape 23 as an attachment member, the base edge of the hinge fabric 22 is attached. The dough body 21 covers all of the plurality of slats 14 from the front surface or the rear surface. Accordingly, the curtain fabric 20 maintains the soft atmosphere of the fabric body 21 and increases or decreases the gap between the slats 14 by tilting the slats 14 in the blinds. The amount of light entering can be adjusted.

  Here, since the fabric body 21 is attached to the slat 14 via the hinge fabric 22, as shown in FIG. 5, when the slat 14 is tilted, the hinge fabric 22 bends following the tilting operation of the slat 14. However, the dough body 21 does not bend following the tilting movement of the slat 14. For this reason, even if light-shielding adjustment by tilting the slat 14 is performed, it is possible to prevent the appearance from being deteriorated due to the dough body 21 being curved or the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lifting cord 17 is raised, the slats 14 are sequentially placed on the bottle rail 16 and rise together with the bottle rail 16, but the plurality of hinge fabrics 22 are also attached to the slats to which they are attached. 14 are sequentially placed on the bottle rail 16 and rise. Here, since the plurality of hinge fabrics 22 are attached to the fabric body 21 so as to correspond to all or part of the plurality of slats 14 in the width direction of the fabric body 21, The fabric body 21 covering all of the slats 14 is sequentially lifted at the portion where the hinge fabric 22 is attached, and rises together with the slats 14 in a state where the hinge fabric 22 and the hinge fabric 22 are bent and folded in half. However, the basic function of the horizontal grind 10 for raising and lowering the slats 14 is not impaired, and the curtain fabric 20 is raised and lowered simultaneously with the raising and lowering of the slats 14, so that the operability can be improved.

  On the other hand, the fabric body 21 with the base edge edged together with the hinge fabric 22 can be removed from the horizontal blind 10 by a relatively simple operation of simply removing the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22 from the slat 14. Therefore, when cleaning the curtain fabric 20, the curtain fabric 20 can be removed from the blind 10 and washed, and the slats 14 in the horizontal blind 10 can be cleaned with the curtain fabric 20 removed. Then, the curtain fabric 20 after cleaning can be attached to the blind 10 again simply by attaching the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22 to the slat 14 with the adhesive tape 23 as an attachment member. Since attachment and removal are facilitated in this way, it is also possible to remove the curtain fabric 20 from the horizontal blind 10 and attach another curtain fabric 20 having a different pattern relatively easily depending on the season.

  In the above-described embodiment, the attachment member made of the adhesive tape 23 has been described. However, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the attachment member may be a clip 33 configured to be able to hold the slat 14. . The clip 33 shown in the drawing shows a metal plate material folded in half, and is constructed so that the bent center portion is inserted through an attachment hole 22 a formed in the tip edge of the hinge fabric 22. Further, the tips of the clips 33 are opened outward so that the slats 14 can be easily inserted and gripped, and by inserting the slats 14 from the opened positions, the tips of the clips 33 are spread out. It is comprised so that the slat 14 may be hold | gripped by the elasticity.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the attachment member may be a hook and loop fastener 43 provided between the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22 and the slat 14. In the surface fastener 43 shown in the drawing, one side 43 a is adhered to the slat 14, and the other 43 b is attached to the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22. The tip of the hinge fabric 22 can be removed from the slat 14 by peeling off the other 43b attached to the tip edge of the hinge fabric 22 of the surface fastener 43 from the one 43a adhered to the slat 14. The tip of the hinge fabric 22 can be attached to the slat 14 relatively easily by pressing and locking the other 43b attached to the tip edge of the hinge fabric 22 to the one 43a adhered to the slat 14.

  Thus, even if the clip 33 or the hook-and-loop fastener 43 is used as an attachment member, the clip 43 is removed from the slat 14, or the other 43b attached to the leading edge of the hinge fabric 22 of the hook-and-loop fastener 43 is attached to the slat 14. By peeling from the one sticking side 43a, the fabric body 21 with the base edge of the hinge fabric 22 attached thereto can be removed from the horizontal blind 10 relatively easily. Therefore, when cleaning the curtain fabric 20, the curtain fabric 20 can be removed from the blind and washed, and the slats 14 in the horizontal blind 10 can be cleaned with the curtain fabric 20 removed. Then, the curtain fabric 20 after cleaning is simply attached to the slat 14 by the clip 33 as an attachment member at the tip edge of the hinge fabric 22 or the tip edge of the hinge fabric 22 on one side 43a adhered to the slat 14 of the hook-and-loop fastener 43. The other 43b attached to the cover can be pressed and locked to be attached to the blind again. Since attachment and removal are facilitated in this way, it is also possible to remove the curtain fabric 20 from the horizontal blind 10 and attach another curtain fabric 20 having a different pattern relatively easily depending on the season.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the hinge fabric 22 is made of the same fabric as the fabric body 21 has been described. However, the hinge fabric 22 is not necessarily the same as the fabric body 21, and the fabric body 21 is made of paper or the like. Even if it exists, the hinge fabric 22 can also produce the effect of durability improvement as a woven fabric.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the hinge fabric 22 is attached to the fabric body 21 so as to correspond to all of the plurality of slats 14 is shown. The base end edge may be attached to the fabric body 21 so as to correspond to the portion. In this case, a plurality of hinge fabrics 22 are provided so as to correspond to a part of the plurality of slats 14 at predetermined equal intervals in the vertical direction so that the fabric body 21 is regularly folded when the slats 14 are raised. It is preferable. FIG. 10 shows another example in which a plurality of hinge fabrics 22 are provided on the fabric body 21 so as to correspond to a part of the plurality of slats 14 so that one slat remains between the hinge fabrics.
