On the lower surface side of the vertical beam 45b, an opening 45c (see FIGS. 4A and 4B) having a height H3 from the lower surface to the outer peripheral surface of the winding shaft 14 is formed. The height H3 is smaller than the minimum outer diameter portion of the knot 4a of the lifting / lowering cord 4. In addition, the rectangular shape of the planar shape surrounded by the surfaces of the horizontal beams 45a, the vertical beams 45b and the annular plate 44 is as follows, as shown by the broken line in FIG. When locked, the knot ball 4a is an exposed window (exposed portion) 45d that is exposed to the outside.

  The opening 45c penetrates and opens in the insertion direction to the winding shaft 14, and the first cylindrical portion 42 side (winding shaft 14 side) is in an open state. That is, the cord locking part 45 has an arched opening 45c. As shown in FIG. 4A, the opening 45c is closed by the outer peripheral surface of the winding shaft 14 when the first cylindrical portion 42 is inserted into the winding shaft 14 and engaged. It comes off and becomes a through hole. As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the through-hole has a shape viewed from the direction of the arrow Y1 in FIG. 4 (a), two arcs of concentric circles centered on the axis of the winding shaft 14, and two It becomes a substantially rectangular shape surrounded by parallel straight lines by the horizontal beam 45a. Moreover, the diameter of the through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the knot 4a of the lifting / lowering cord 4, and the knot 4a cannot pass through.

<Operation of Embodiment>
In such a structure, for example, when the lifting / lowering cord 4 is cut halfway, a case where the lifting / lowering cord 4 is removed and a new lifting / lowering cord 4 is attached will be described.
First, when the lifting / lowering cord 4 is cut halfway, the lifting / lowering cord 4 is cut halfway, so the knot ball 4a exposed from the exposure window 45d of the cord locking portion 45 may be picked and pulled out.

  Thereafter, when attaching the lifting / lowering cord 4 to the winding shaft 14, as shown in FIG. 1, the operator passes the lifting / lowering cord 4 having the lower end (the other end) connected to the bottom rail 6 through the hole of the bearing member 15. Then, it is guided to the outer peripheral surface of the winding shaft 14. Further, the upper end (one end) of the guided lifting / lowering cord 4 is inserted from one of the through holes using the opening 45c shown in FIG. 4A and protrudes to the other side. The protruding tip of the lifting / lowering cord 4 is pulled out from the exposure window 45d and tied to form a knot 4a. When the knot ball 4a is returned to the exposure window 45d, the lifting / lowering cord 4 is pulled toward the take-up shaft 14 by the weight of the bottom rail 6, so that the knot ball 4a is locked by the through hole. If it is difficult to pass the upper end of the lifting / lowering cord 4 through the opening 45c, it is performed while pressing it with a wire-like jig or the like.

<Effect of embodiment>
As described above, according to the blind lifting / lowering device 10 of this embodiment, when the lifting / lowering cord 4 is cut halfway, the operator picks the knotted ball 4a exposed from the exposure window 45d of the cord locking portion 45. The lifting / lowering cord 4 can be detached from the take-up shaft 14 simply by pulling out. Therefore, the lifting / lowering cord 4 can be easily detached from the winding shaft 14.

  Further, when the new lifting / lowering cord 4 is attached to the winding shaft 14, the lower end is fixed to the bottom rail 6, and the upper end of the lifting / lowering cord 4 guided to the outer peripheral surface of the winding shaft 14 through the hole of the bearing member 15 is It is inserted from one of the through holes by the opening 45c of the locking part 45 and protrudes to the other side. The tip of the protruding lifting cord 4 is pulled out from the exposure window 45d and tied, the knot 4a is returned to the exposure window 45d, and the knot 4a is locked by the through hole. Therefore, the lifting / lowering cord 4 can be easily attached to the winding shaft 14.

  However, contrary to the insertion direction described above, the lifting / lowering cord 4 is led from the lower end of the opposite end of the knotting ball 4a through the opening 45c to the outer peripheral surface of the winding shaft 14, and further through the hole of the bearing member 15. Guide to the bottom rail 6. The lower end side of the guided lifting / lowering cord 4 may be connected to the bottom rail 6.

  As described above, according to the lifting device 10 of the present embodiment, the lifting cord 4 can be easily replaced. Further, the lifting / lowering cord 4 is not attached by a separate fixing ring as in the prior art. For this reason, since a separate part is unnecessary, the cost of the assembly and manufacture accompanying attachment of the raising / lowering cord 4 can be reduced compared with the conventional apparatus which requires a ring for fixation.

<Other example of embodiment>
Next, another example of the structure for attaching the lifting / lowering cord 4 to the winding shaft 14 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows a structure for attaching the lifting / lowering cord 4 of the winding shaft 14, (a) is a perspective view showing a configuration of one end of the winding shaft 14 provided with the cord locking portion 40, and (b) is a cord. It is a top view of the one end part of the winding shaft 14 with which the latching | locking part 50 was arrange | positioned. The cord locking part 50 is the locking part or the second locking part described in the claims.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a cord locking portion 50 is erected on the outer peripheral surface of one end portion of the winding shaft 14.
As shown in FIG. 5A, the cord locking portion 50 has a substantially rectangular plate shape, and the lower end of the plate shape is curved with the same curvature as the curved surface of the outer peripheral surface of the winding shaft 14, It is fixed to the outer peripheral surface. This fixing is performed in such a state that both sides of the plate shape face the axial direction of the winding shaft 14.

  Further, the cord locking portion 50 has a longitudinal groove 50a formed from the center of the upper end of the plate shape to the vicinity of the lower end. The vertical groove 50a has a widened shape that penetrates in the axial direction of the winding shaft 14, extends upward from the lower side with the same width, and inclines to both sides near the upper end and expands to the upper end. That is, the corner 50b at the upper end of the vertical groove 50a is chamfered. Moreover, the groove | channel part extended with the same width of the vertical groove 50a is the size which can insert the raising / lowering cord 4 and cannot pass the knot 4a.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the root of the knot 4 a of the lifting / lowering cord 4 is inserted into the longitudinal groove 50 a of the cord locking portion 50, and the knot 4 a is moved to the opening end side of the winding shaft 14. If it arrange | positions, it can latch so that the raising / lowering cord 4 may not be removed. This is because the lower end side of the lifting / lowering cord 4 is pulled by the weight of the bottom rail 6, so that the knot 4a is locked to the vertical groove 50a. Since the outer shape of the knot ball 4a is larger than the width of the vertical groove 50a, the knot ball 4a does not pass through the vertical groove 50a. When the root of the knot ball 4a of the lifting / lowering cord 4 is inserted into the vertical groove 50a, the corner portion 50b chamfered at the upper end is formed, which facilitates insertion.

  Thus, if the lifting / lowering cord 4 is hooked and locked to the cord locking portion 50 erected on the outer peripheral surface of the winding shaft 14, the lifting / lowering cord 4 can be easily replaced. For example, when the lifting / lowering cord 4 is cut halfway, the tensile force due to the weight of the bottom rail 6 that locks the lifting / lowering cord 4 to the cord locking portion 50 is lost. For this reason, the knotting ball 4a may be removed from the vertical groove 50a, so that the lifting / lowering cord 4 can be easily detached from the winding shaft 14.

  Thereafter, when the lifting / lowering cord 4 is attached to the winding shaft 14, the root of the knotting ball 4 a of the lifting / lowering cord 4 whose lower end is connected to the bottom rail 6 is inserted into the vertical groove 50 a of the cord locking portion 50 and tied. What is necessary is just to latch the ball 4a.

  Thus, according to the other example of this embodiment, the raising / lowering cord 4 can be replaced | exchanged easily. Further, when the lifting / lowering cord 4 is cut, the lifting / lowering cord 4 is detached from the cord locking portion 50 if the upper end of the cord locking portion 50 faces downward, so that the trouble of removing the lifting / lowering cord 4 becomes unnecessary. . Even when the upper end of the cord locking portion 50 faces upward, the root of the knot ball 4a is only fitted in the vertical groove 50a of the cord locking portion 50. It can be easily removed.

  In addition, the vertical groove 50a of the cord locking portion 50 may have a narrower width from the lower side toward the upper side, and the corner portion 50b may be chamfered in the vicinity of the upper end. In this case, the root of the knot ball 4a can be made difficult to come off during normal times when the lifting cord 4 is not cut. Further, the cord locking portion 50 has a configuration in which the vertical groove 50a is formed in the vertical direction, but instead of the vertical groove 50a, in the standing cord fixing portion 40, a lateral groove or an oblique direction is formed. A groove may be formed. Further, the cord locking portion 50 as the second locking portion may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 43 of the cap 40. Furthermore, a groove such as the vertical groove 50a may be formed on the outer peripheral edge of the annular plate 44, and this may be used as the second locking portion.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in this embodiment, the case where the lifting device of the present invention is applied to a horizontal blind having a plurality of slats is described. However, the lifting device of the present invention is a roman shade (raised curtain), a pleated screen, or the like. It can be applied to various types of blinds (sunlight shielding devices).
