Description

  The present invention relates to a blind and a method for manufacturing the same.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a horizontal blind, a head box that suspends and supports a ladder cord that supports a plurality of slats, accommodates a mechanism for raising and lowering the slats, and is attached to a window frame, a wall or the like is used.

  Some of the headboxes are painted in the same color as the slats in consideration of aesthetics. However, in this case, there is a problem that it takes time and cost for painting according to the color of the slats.

  In this regard, Patent Document 1 below discloses a blind in which locking edges for locking slats are provided on the upper and lower edges of the side surface of the head box, and the slats are fixed to the front side of the head box (blind).

  As another method, the following Patent Document 2 has a blind that covers the front side and the left and right side surfaces of the head box, and the following Patent Document 3 has a balance that covers the front side of the head box. Each blind is disclosed.

No. 03-001994 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-082441 JP 2003-184455 A

  However, in the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 3, the aesthetic appearance from the left and right side surfaces of the blind is not taken into consideration, and a sufficient aesthetic appearance as a whole blind cannot be obtained.

  In the techniques described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, since the balance is attached around the head box at a certain distance from the head box, when the blind is fixed at the installation position, the balance is on the front side or It will protrude to the side, and as a whole it will not be able to get a good aesthetic.

  In view of the circumstances as described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a blind capable of improving the aesthetic appearance of the entire blind including the front and side surfaces of the head box without increasing the size of the head box, and a method for manufacturing the blind. There is to do.

  In order to achieve the above object, a blind according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a shielding material and a head box. The shielding material has a first pattern and color. The head box includes a head box main body, a front cover material, and a side cover material. The head box body has a front surface and a side surface, and suspends the shielding material so as to be movable up and down. The front cover material is provided so as to cover the front surface, and is provided with a second pattern and color equivalent to the first pattern and color. The side cover material is provided so as to cover the side surface, and is provided with the second pattern and color.

  As a result, the blind has a front box and a side cover material with the same color and pattern as the shielding material on the front and side surfaces of the head box itself. The aesthetics of the entire blind including the front and side surfaces can be improved. Here, the first pattern and color and the second pattern and color are, for example, woodgrain, but are not limited thereto.

  A head box cap having an opening having an opening surface facing the side surface at the time of installation may be detachably provided on the side surface of the head box body. In this case, the side cover member may be accommodated in the head box cap so as to be exposed from the opening.

  Thereby, the blind can make the head box cap function not only as a cap but also as a housing portion for the side cover material without preparing new parts for installing the side cover material.

  The shielding member may be a slat that is supported in an aligned state in the ascending / descending direction by a ladder cord suspended from the head box body. In this case, at least the side cover member of the front cover member and the side cover member may be an end member of the slat member from which the slat is cut out.

  Thereby, the blind can use the end material of the slat conventionally discarded effectively by using the same board | plate material as a slat as a side surface cover material.

  The head box cap may have a slit on a surface corresponding to the upper surface of the head box body. In this case, the side cover material is an end material of the slat material from which the slat is cut out, and may be inserted into the slit and accommodated in the head box cap.

  As a result, since the side cover material is inserted into the head box cap from the upper surface side, the blind can be prevented from falling off due to its own weight, and the side cover material can be slatted. While cutting out from the same material, it is possible to prevent the cut surface from being exposed to the user.

  The head box cap may have a slit on a surface corresponding to the back surface of the head box body. In this case, the side cover material is an end material of the slat material from which the slat is cut out, and may be inserted into the slit and accommodated in the head box cap.

  As a result, the blind has a side cover material inserted into the head box cap from the back side so that the cut surface is exposed to the user while the side cover material is cut out from the same material as the slat. Can be prevented.

  The side cover material may have a cut surface by cutting out from the slat material, and may be accommodated in the head box cap such that a surface other than the cut surface is exposed from the slit.

  Accordingly, the blind can insert the side cover material cut out from the same material as the slat into the slit from the surface other than the cut surface, so that the cut surface is not exposed from the slit and the aesthetic appearance can be further improved.

  The head box cap may include a base portion and a cap portion that is detachable from the base portion and has the opening. In this case, the side cover material may be accommodated between the base portion and the cap portion.

  As a result, the blind can accommodate the head box cap as a cap as well as a side cover material by accommodating the cover material between the base portion and the cap portion without preparing new parts for the cover material. It can also function as a part.

  The head box cap may have a shape in which a surface corresponding to the front surface of the head box main body is opened at the time of installation. In this case, the front cover member and the side cover member may be provided so that the end portion on the side face side of the front cover member and the end portion on the front face side of the side cover member are in contact with each other.

  Thereby, since the cover material which has the same color and pattern is continuously attached to the blind from the front surface to the side surface of the head box, the aesthetics can be further improved.

A blind manufacturing method according to another embodiment of the present invention includes:
Cutting out the slat and the front cover material covering the front of the head box body from the long slat material;
Of the slat members, cutting out side cover materials that cover the side surfaces of the head box body from the end materials generated by cutting out the slats and the front cover member,
Attaching the front cover material to the front surface of the head box body, producing the head box by attaching the side cover material to the side surface of the head box body; and
Attaching the slat to the head box via a ladder cord.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the aesthetics of the entire blind including the front and side surfaces of the head box without increasing the size of the head box. However, this effect does not limit the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a blind according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in the figure, the blind 100 has a head box 1. The head box 1 suspends, for example, two ladder cords 3 that support a plurality of slats 2 in an aligned state by the head box body 11.

  The plurality of slats 2 function as a shielding material for guiding or shielding outside light indoors in a window, a wall surface or the like where the blind 100 is installed by opening and closing between them. Although not shown, the slat 2 is provided with, for example, a woodgrain pattern and color.

  A bottom rail 4 to which a lower end portion of a lifting / lowering cord (not shown) that passes through the slat is connected is provided below the slat 2 positioned at the lowest level, and the lower end portion of the ladder cord 3 is connected to the bottom rail 4. Yes. The bottom rail 4 improves the shielding property when the slat 2 is closed due to the tilt of the ladder cord 3 and is raised and lowered together with the slat 2 by raising and lowering the lifting cord.

  The slat 2 is moved up and down while being stacked on the bottom rail by operating the operation cord 5 and moving up and down an unillustrated lifting cord. Similarly, the operation cord 5 is operated and the ladder cord 3 tilts to tilt the slat 2. (Open state and closed state between the slats 2) are adjusted. That is, the blind 100 according to this embodiment is a so-called loop cord type blind in which the slat 2 can be moved up and down and the angle can be adjusted by one operation cord 5.

[Headbox configuration]
Next, the configuration of the head box 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the head box 1. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the head box 1 taken along line AA in FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the head box 1 taken along the line BB in FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the head box 1 taken along the line CC in FIG.

  As shown in these drawings, the head box 1 includes a head box main body 11, a front cover material 12 provided on the front surface of the head box main body 11, and a side cover material 13 provided on a side surface of the head box main body 11. Have

  Although not shown, in the present embodiment, the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 are provided with a pattern and color (for example, woodgrain) equivalent to the pattern and color applied to the slat 2. As will be described later, this is realized by cutting out not only the slat 2 but also the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 from the slat member which is the material of the slat 2.

  Head box caps 14 are detachably attached to the left and right side surfaces of the head box body 11 in a state in which the side cover material 13 is accommodated.

  The head box cap 14 includes an opening 15 having an opening surface facing the side surface of the head box body 11, a slit 16 and an insertion groove 21 (see FIG. 5) for inserting the side cover material 13, and an insertion groove 21. A rib 24 is provided for locking the inserted side cover member 13 with the insertion groove 21.

  In the present embodiment, the slit 16 is formed on the upper surface of the head box cap 14 (the surface corresponding to the upper surface of the head box body 11). The side cover member 13 is inserted into the slit 16, guided while engaging with the insertion groove 21, and locked on the lower end side of the head box cap 14. Exposed from.

  Insertion grooves 17 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the front surface of the head box body 11, and the front cover member 12 is installed in the insertion groove 17 and is installed in the headbox body 11.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the head box cap 14 on the right side of the head box body 11 also functions as the operation unit 18. For example, an operation code outlet 19 through which the operation code 5 is derived is formed in the lower part of the operation unit 18 (the operation code 5 is not shown in the figure). An operation gear mechanism 20 is provided inside the head box body 11. The operation gear mechanism 20 is provided with a pulley (not shown) around which the operation cord 5 is wound. The pulley is connected to the winding drum connected to the ladder cord 3 and the lifting / lowering cord, and can be interlocked.

  When the operation cord 5 is pulled down, the pulley and the winding drum linked to the pulley rotate, whereby the slat 2 can be raised, lowered, and tilted (rotated).

[Attaching process of headbox cover material]
Next, the cover material attaching process in the head box 1 configured as described above will be described.

(Cover material manufacturing process)
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a process of manufacturing the slat 2, the front cover member 12, and the side cover member 13 from the slat member.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3A, a long slat material S having a woodgrain pattern and color is prepared. The length D1 of the slat material S in the short direction is about 50 mm, which is the same as the length of the slat 2 in the short direction. The length D2 of the slat material S in the longitudinal direction is, for example, 1000 mm, 1300 mm, 1600 mm, 1900 mm, 2200 mm, 2400 mm, etc., but is not limited thereto.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. B, the length of the slat 2 in the longitudinal direction is cut out from the slat material S as the slat 2. The slat 2 has the same shape and the same size as the front cover member 12 and can be used as the front cover member 12. Moreover, in this embodiment, the length of the transversal direction of the slat 2 is the same as the length of the side surface cover material 13 in the longitudinal direction (Y direction in FIGS. 1 to 5). By cutting out the slat 2 and the front cover member 12, an end material W is generated.

  And as shown to the same figure C, the said end material W is cut out as the some side surface cover material 13 by the length space | interval of the transversal direction (Z direction of FIGS. 1-5) of the said side surface cover material 13. As shown in FIG. Here, since the side cover member 13 is cut in a cutting direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the slat member S, similarly to the slat 2 and the front cover member 12, the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 are separated from each other. The direction of the grain will match.

  Through the above steps, the slat 2, the front cover member 12, and the side cover member 13 are manufactured from the slat member S.

(Cover material installation process)
Next, the process of attaching the manufactured cover material to the head box body 11 will be described. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a flow of an attaching process of the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13. FIG. 8 is a side sectional view showing a flow of the attaching process of the side cover member 13.

  FIG. 7A shows a state in which the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 are not attached to the head box body 11.

  From this state, as shown in FIG. 5B, the front cover member 12 is attached by inserting the front cover member 12 into the insertion groove 17. At this time, the front cover member 12 may be attached by being inserted into the insertion groove 17 from one end of the head box with the head box cap 14 removed, and then the head box cap 14 may be attached.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. B, C and D and FIGS. 8A and 8B, insertion is performed from above the slit 16 on the upper surface of the head box cap 14, that is, from above (in the direction of the arrow in FIGS. 7C and 8A). The side cover member 13 is inserted and attached via the groove 21.

  At this time, the side cover member 13 is inserted into the slit 16 from a surface other than the cut surface 13 a generated by cutting out the end material W of the slat 2. That is, when the side cover member 13 is attached, a surface other than the cut surface 13 a is exposed from the slit 16. For example, the same pattern and color as the main surface are applied to the surfaces other than the cut surface 13a.

  Thus, the process of attaching the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 to the head box body 11, that is, the manufacturing process of the head box 1 is completed.

  And the blind 100 is manufactured by attaching the said slat 2 to the head box 1 manufactured by this through the ladder cord 3 and the raising / lowering cord.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the head box 1 itself has the front cover material 12 and the side cover material 13 with the same color and pattern as the slats 2 on the front surface and the side surface, respectively. The appearance of the entire blind including the front and side surfaces of the head box 1 can be improved without increasing the size of the head box 1 (as compared to a case where a balance is provided instead of the cover material). Further, by using the same slat material S as that of the slat 2 as the front cover material 12 and the side cover material 13, it is possible to effectively use the end material of the slat that has been conventionally discarded.

  Further, the side cover member 13 is accommodated in the head box cap 14 so that the head box cap 14 can be used not only as a cap but also as a side cover without preparing new parts for installing the side cover member 13. It can also function as a housing portion for the material 13.

  Further, since the side cover material 13 is inserted from the upper surface side (side where the user cannot visually recognize in the installed state) with respect to the head box cap 14 and from a surface other than the cut surface 13a, the side cover material 13 is inserted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the falling off due to its own weight, and it is possible to prevent the cut surface from being exposed to the user while cutting the side cover material 13 from the same material as the slat 2, and further improve the aesthetics. can do.

Second Embodiment
Next, a blind according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, parts having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. Further, description of parts having the same configuration as in the first embodiment is omitted or simplified.

[Blind configuration]
FIG. 9 is a front view of the blind according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in the figure, the blind 200 has substantially the same configuration as the blind 100 in the first embodiment described above, but has a lifting / lowering cord 6 and a rotation cord 7 instead of the operation cord 5 that the blind 100 has. This is different from the blind 100 described above.

  The lifting / lowering cord 6 is a cord for moving the slat 2 up and down, and the rotating cord 7 is a cord for adjusting the tilt angle of the slat 2. When the lifting / lowering cord 6 is pulled down, the slat 2 is lifted, and when it is pulled outward (right side in the figure), the stopper functions and the lifting stops. When the lifting / lowering cord 6 is pulled lightly inward (left side in the figure), the stopper is released and the slat 2 is lowered. Further, when the rotary cord 7 is pulled down, the slat 2 rotates, and the open state and the closed state between the slats 2 can be switched. That is, the blind 200 of this embodiment is a so-called cord-type blind in which the slats 2 are moved up and down and the angle is adjusted by separate cords.

[Headbox configuration]
Next, the configuration of the head box 1 will be described. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the head box 1. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the head box 1 taken along line DD in FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the head box 1 taken along line EE in FIG. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the head box 1 taken along line FF in FIG.

  As shown in these drawings, the head box 1 according to the present embodiment is shorter in height than the head box in the first embodiment except for the front surface (a shape in which the bottom surface is raised to the bottom). Is different.

  That is, the part to which the front cover member 12 of the head box main body 11 in this embodiment is attached is substantially the same size as that in the first embodiment, but the rear part of the housing part that houses various mechanical parts. The capacity is designed to be smaller than that of the first embodiment.

  The height (the length in the Y direction) of the back surface of the head box body 11 is about one-half that of the head box body 11 in the first embodiment.

  Accordingly, the size of the side cover member 13 provided on the side surface of the head box body 11 is designed to be smaller (1/2) than the side cover member 13 of the first embodiment. That is, the length in the short direction of the side cover member 13 in the present embodiment is half of the height of the front surface of the head box body 11 (the length in the Y direction in FIGS. 9 to 13) (front cover member). 12) of the length in the short direction of 12).

  Further, as described above, since the blind 100 according to the present embodiment is a so-called cord type, as shown in FIG. 10, the operation unit 18 and the operation that are built in the head box body 11 in the first embodiment are used. Parts such as the gear mechanism 20 having a large size in the height direction are not provided.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the slit 16 for inserting the said side surface cover material 13 was provided in the upper surface of the head box cap 14, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG.11 and FIG.13. The slit 16 is provided on the back surface of the head box cap 14 (the surface corresponding to the back surface of the head box body 11).

[Attaching process of headbox cover material]

  In the present embodiment, there can be two methods as a method of cutting the side cover material 13 from the end material W generated by cutting the slat 2 and the front cover material 12 from the slat material S.

  The first is the method shown in FIG. In this method, the end material W is a slat in the same manner as the slat 2 and the front cover material 12 at a length interval in the lateral direction (Y direction in FIGS. 9 to 13) of the side cover material 13 in this embodiment. A plurality of side cover members 13 are cut out in a cutting direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the material S.

  In this case, the cut out side cover member 13 is inserted into the slit 16 of the head box cap 14 in a state rotated 90 degrees from the state shown in FIG.

  The second is the technique shown in FIG. In this method, a plurality of end materials W are cut out in the longitudinal direction (Z direction in FIGS. 9 to 13) of the side cover material 13 in the present embodiment in the same cutting direction as in FIG. The cut end material is cut into two equal parts in a cutting direction (parallel to the longitudinal direction of the slat material S) perpendicular to the cutting direction in FIG.

  Here, as described above, as described above, the length in the short direction of the side cover member 13 in the present embodiment is the height of the front surface of the head box body 11 (the Y direction in FIGS. 9 to 13). This is because the length of the front cover member 12 is ½ of the length in the short direction.

  Here, according to the method shown in FIG. D, the side cover member 13 can be inserted into the slit 16 of the head box cap 14 in the orientation shown in FIG. The direction of the grain of the cover material 12 and the side cover material 13 is matched.

  Through the above steps, the slat 2, the front cover member 12, and the side cover member 13 according to the present embodiment are manufactured from the slat member S.

Are formed (in the figure, the lifting and lowering cords 6 and 7 are not shown).

  From this state, as shown in FIG. B, the front cover member 12 is attached by inserting the front cover member 12 into the insertion groove 17 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. B, C and D and FIGS. 16A and 16B, from the slit 16 on the back surface of the head box cap 14, that is, from the rear (back side) (in the direction of the arrows in FIGS. 15C and 16A). F), the side cover member 13 is inserted and attached via the insertion groove 21.

  Also in this case, as in the first embodiment, the side cover member 13 is inserted into the slit 16 from a surface other than the cut surface 13a generated by cutting out the end material W of the slat 2.

  Thus, the process of attaching the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 to the head box main body 11 in this embodiment, that is, the manufacturing process of the head box 1 is completed.

  And the blind 200 is manufactured by attaching the said slat 2 to the head box 1 manufactured by this through the ladder cord 3. FIG.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the side cover member 13 is inserted into the head box cap 14 in the insertion direction from the back side (the side that cannot be visually recognized by the user in the installed state). 2 can be prevented from being exposed to the user while cutting out from the same material as 2.

The end portion of the front cover member 12 is attached so as to contact the end portion.

  At this time, the contact surfaces which are the end portions of the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 are tapered, so that the contact surfaces can be matched without exposing each other.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the head box cap 14, the surface corresponding to the front surface of the head box body 11 is open, and the end of the front cover member 12 and the end of the side cover member 13 are opened. Since both cover materials are attached so that they come into contact with each other, the cover material having the same color and pattern is continuously attached from the front surface to the side surface of the head box 1, so that the head box 1 and thus the blind The overall beauty of 100 can be further improved.

<Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present technology.

  In the head box 1 according to the present invention, a woodgrain pattern is applied as the pattern and color applied to the slat 2, the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13, but the pattern and color are not limited to the woodgrain. .

  In the second embodiment described above, the side cover member 13 has a length in the short side direction that is half the height of the head box body 11 and the length in the short side direction of the slat 2 and the front cover member 12. However, it is not limited to this length, and the method for cutting out the side cover material 13 from the end material W can be appropriately changed according to the change in the length.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a plurality of slats 2 is used as a blind shielding material is shown. However, the present invention is similarly applicable to blinds having shielding materials other than slats.

  For example, when the shielding material is a roll screen, a pleated screen, or a honeycomb screen, front cover materials and side cover materials having the same color and pattern as those colors and patterns are used on the front and side surfaces of the head box. Also good. Moreover, the end material of each said screen may be used for the front cover material and side surface cover material itself of a head box, or may be affixed on a cover material.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, an example in which the pattern and color applied to the slat 2 and the pattern and color applied to the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 are all equivalent (for example, woodgrain) is shown. . However, it is sufficient that at least the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 have the same pattern and color, and the pattern and color of the slat 2 may be different from them. Further, the material of the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 and the material of the slat 2 may be different. For example, the front cover member 12 and the side cover member 13 may be made of wood or resin, and the slat 2 may be made of aluminum.
