Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a bracket used for fixing the head box of a blind to a window frame, wall surface, etc. in order to attach a horizontal blind, a vertical blind, a curtain, etc. In particular, the present invention relates to a blind bracket used to attach a head box of a blind, which has mounting edges formed along the upper edges of the left and right side walls.

[Background of the idea]

The bracket used for attaching the head box of a blind to a window frame or wall surface has a vertical support piece and a horizontal support piece pivoted to the tip of the top plate and the tip of the side plate, respectively, of an L-shaped bracket. A commonly used bracket has a structure in which the tips of the horizontal support piece and the horizontal support piece are hooked to each other to form a rectangular frame, and the head box is surrounded and supported within the rectangular frame. To install a blind using such a bracket, you must hold the headbox near each end of the headbox and attach it to the bracket, so at least two people are required to install one blind. And the workability is poor.

In order to overcome these drawbacks, a bracket has been proposed that allows the head box to be attached and detached in one-touch manner, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-35597. This is a sliding frame that is slidably placed under the horizontal frame of the L-shaped bracket body.
A hook portion is formed on the lower side of the horizontal frame portion and the sliding frame body to engage with a protrusion provided on the upper edge of the headbox, and the headbox is supported by hooking the protrusion edge of the headbox onto the hook portion. It is configured as follows. In this type of bracket, a spring is placed between the horizontal frame of the bracket body and the sliding frame, and when installing the headbox, at least two brackets must be attached to the window frame or wall in advance. The headbox is fixed, and the protrusion at the top of one side of the headbox is hooked onto the hook of one of these brackets, and then the protrusion at the top of the other side of the headbox is pushed into the other hook of the bracket. Therefore, the head box can be attached very easily. In this case, the head box can be installed by one person, and work efficiency is improved compared to the case where a conventional bracket is used.

However, with the above type of bracket, it is difficult to remove the headbox from the bracket after the headbox is attached to the bracket. In the bracket disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-35597, a drawer tool hook is attached to the sliding frame (block plate in the publication), and the drawer tool is hooked onto this to allow the slider to slide. By pulling out the frame from the horizontal frame of the bracket body, one of the hooks can be removed from the mounting rim of the headbox. However, with such a structure, it is difficult to hang the drawer tool on the drawer tool hanger, and it is also difficult to perform the drawer operation.

[Purpose of invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a bracket for blinds in which it is not only easy to attach the headbox to the bracket, but also easy to remove the headbox.

[Summary of the idea]

The blind bracket according to the present invention is a bracket for attaching a blind head box, which has mounting edges formed along the upper edges of the left and right side walls, to a window frame or a wall surface, and is a bracket that integrally supports a horizontal frame part and a vertical frame part. A frame main body, a horizontal sliding frame that is slidably engaged with the lower side of the horizontal frame portion, and a vertical sliding piece that can be slidably engaged with the inside of the vertical frame portion, and the above-mentioned The bracket main body and the horizontal sliding frame are each provided with an engaging portion that engages with and supports the mounting ridge formed on the upper edge of the head box, and the inside of the horizontal sliding frame is An inward hook is provided at the end, and a claw that elastically engages with the hook is formed on the lower side of the horizontal frame of the bracket body, and at the upper end of the vertical sliding piece, A cam surface that elastically pushes open the hook by pushing up the sliding piece to release the engagement with the claw, and a horizontal sliding frame in which the engagement between the claw and the hook is released. It is characterized by forming a cam surface that pushes outward.

[Example of idea]

The embodiments shown in the drawings will be described below.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the bracket according to the present invention.

This is used, for example, to attach the headbox 1 of a blind as shown in FIG. 9 to a window frame or wall surface. The illustrated head box 1 has mounting projections 1a and 1b along the upper edges of its left and right sides, and a bracket 2 according to the present invention.
supports the headbox at these projecting edges 1a, 1b.

The bracket includes a horizontal frame portion 3a and a vertical frame portion 3.
a bracket main body 3 in which b is integrated, and a horizontal sliding frame 4 that slidably engages with the lower side of the horizontal frame portion 3a.
and a vertical sliding piece 5 that can be slidably engaged with the inside of the vertical frame portion 3b.

The vertical sliding piece 5 may be a separate part from the bracket body 3 and combined with the bracket body during use, but as shown in the figure, the vertical sliding piece 5
A protrusion 6 is formed on the side of the vertical frame 3b of the bracket body 3, and a slot 7 for slidably receiving the protrusion 6 is formed on the side wall of the vertical frame 3b of the bracket body 3.
It may also be configured to be slidably held at all times within b.

The above-mentioned bracket main body 3 is formed with an engagement groove 8 that engages with the mounting ridge 1a of the head box 1, and the above-mentioned horizontal sliding frame 4 is formed with an engagement groove 8 that engages with the mounting ridge 1b of the head box 1. A matching groove 9 is formed.

In addition, an inward hook portion 10 is provided at the inner end of the horizontal sliding frame 4.
is formed, and the horizontal frame portion 3 of the bracket body is
A claw 11 that elastically engages with the above-mentioned hook portion 10 is formed on the lower side of a.

Further, the above-mentioned vertical sliding piece 5 is slidably engaged and supported by the vertical frame portion of the bracket main body, and the above-mentioned hook portion 10 is pushed open at the upper part by pushing up the sliding piece. A cam surface 12 that releases the engagement with the claw 11 and a cam surface 13 that pushes the horizontal sliding frame 4 outward after the engagement between the hook portion 10 and the claw 11 is released in this way are formed.

The operation of the above bracket will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 2-8.

2 and 4 show the headbox not yet supported. As shown in this figure, the horizontal sliding frame 4 is fitted into the bracket body 3, the head box 1 is placed under it, and the horizontal sliding frame 4 is moved to the third position.
Push it into the bracket main body 3 as shown in FIG.

Here, the hook portion 10 elastically engages with the claw 11,
The horizontal sliding frame 4 is fixed within the bracket body 3, and is attached to the projecting edges 1a, 1b of the head box 1.
is engaged with the engagement groove 9 of the bracket main body and the horizontal sliding frame 4, and the headbox is fixed to the bracket.

In this state, the vertical sliding piece 5 is as shown in FIG.
and in the lowered position as shown in FIG. When it is desired to remove the head box, the vertical sliding piece 5 is pushed up as shown in FIG. As a result, the cam surface 12 is connected to the hook portion 1 of the horizontal sliding frame 4.
0, pushes it open and removes it from the claw 11, and at the same time, the cam surface 13 acts on the back surface of the horizontal sliding frame 4, pushing it outward and removing it from the horizontal sliding frame 4. Position it as shown in Figure 2. This allows the headbox to be easily removed.

[Effect of idea]
