Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a blind mounting bracket used for attaching a headbox of a blind to a ceiling, wall surface, etc.

[Background of the idea]

Brackets commonly used in the past for mounting blind headboxes consist of a rectangular body consisting of front and lower frame pieces pivoted to the front and lower ends of square frame pieces. A pair of brackets such as the above are mounted at appropriate positions, such as on the ceiling or the upper frame of a window, and the ends of the head box of the blind are surrounded by these brackets, so that the front and lower frame pieces are free. Interlocking of the ends secures the headbox in place. When installing blinds using these general type brackets, at least two workers are required: one supporting the blind and the other securing the end of the blind headbox to the bracket. Moreover, the work efficiency is extremely poor.

Various types of brackets have been proposed to enable efficient installation of such blinds. One is to horizontally attach a plate-shaped support member with an end that can engage with a ridge provided on the inner surface of the top of the head box of the blind, on the underside of the horizontal member of the bracket body that is fixed to the ceiling or wall. By placing the head box of the blind against the support member and rotating it, both ends of the plate-shaped support member are engaged with the lower side of the solid line provided at the top of the head box. , a head box is attached. Such a structure has the advantage of high work efficiency because the blind can be installed simply by rotating the plate-shaped support member, but on the other hand, as the plate-shaped support member is rotated during installation, This has the disadvantage that the head box moves in the left and right direction, causing the mounting position to shift.

without causing any misalignment of the mounting position,
In order to enable a single worker to install the blind, the applicant first installed a head box on the underside of the horizontal member of the bracket body, which is fixed to the ceiling or wall. A first claw member capable of engaging with a protrusion provided on the inner surface of the top portion and a second claw member slidably provided with respect to the first claw member are provided, and a spring is provided to press these claw members in a direction away from each other. , hook the protrusion on the upper edge of one of the head boxes of the blind to the first claw member, and then hook the other upper edge of the head box around the upper edge hooked to the first claw member. A blind mounting bracket has been devised in which the headbox is attached to the bracket by pushing up and engaging the projecting edge on the inside of the other upper edge with the second claw member in a snap-type manner. In this type of bracket, the first protruding edge provided on the upper edge of the head box is hooked onto the first claw member, and in this way the head box, which is supported diagonally by one end edge, is pushed up to become straight. Then,
Blinds can be installed extremely easily by a single worker and can be installed extremely efficiently, but once the blinds are installed, it is troublesome to remove them when necessary. It is. That is, in order to remove the head box, the pair of claw members must be held close to each other against the action of the spring. Removing such blinds is extremely troublesome.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional blind mounting brackets as described above, allows a single operator to easily install the blinds with extremely simple operations, and when necessary, it is extremely easy to install the blinds. To provide a bracket for mounting a blind, which allows the blind to be removed with a simple operation.

[Summary of the idea]

The blind mounting bracket according to the present invention is
In a bracket for attaching a head box of a blind, an elastic inverted U-shaped hook member is attached to the lower side of the horizontal member of the bracket body, which is fixed to the ceiling or wall, so that it can rotate in the horizontal direction. A hook is formed on the outside of both legs of the member to elastically engage with a protrusion provided on the inner surface of the top of the head box of the blind, and the head box can be removed by rotating the hook member in the horizontal direction. It is characterized by:

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a top view of the bracket according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof. Figure 1 shows the bracket body fixed to the ceiling or the upper frame of a window, 2a is the hole through which the mounting screw is passed when the bracket body is attached to the ceiling, and 2b is the hole for passing the mounting screw when the bracket body is attached to the wall or the upper frame of the window. A hole for passing a mounting screw, 3 a hook member mounted on the underside of the horizontal member of the bracket body so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction, and 4 a pivot for mounting the hook member on the bracket body. The hook member 3 is made of an elastic U-shaped member, and has projecting edges 5a provided on the inner surface of the top of the head box 5 of the blind on the outside of both legs.
Claws 3a, 3b are formed to elastically engage with the 5b.

The above-mentioned hook member 3 is normally in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. When installing the blind, when the head box 5 is pushed up from the position shown by the broken line, the protrusions 5a and 5b provided on the inner surface of the top of the head box 5 engage the claws 3a and 5b of the hook member 3, respectively.
3b is pushed up along the cam surface formed on the outer surface of the hook member 3b, and deforms the claws 3a and 3b inwardly against the elasticity of the hook member 3 itself, so that the protruding edges 5a and 5b
a, 3b, the claws 3a, 3b elastically engage the lower side of the projecting edges 5a, 5b of the head box 5 by their own elasticity, and move the head box 5 to the second position.
Hold as shown.

In addition, the hook member 3 is mounted so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction around the pivot shaft 4, or the hook member 3 is
A spring (not shown) is preferably provided to maintain the hook member at all times in the position shown in FIGS. 3c is integrally formed.

When removing the blind installed as described above, the hook member 3 is rotated in the horizontal direction from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIG. 4 using the operating arm 3c. . As a result, as shown in FIG.
The claws 3a, 3b that had been engaged with the projections 5a, 5b come to the position shown in FIG. 3 and are disengaged from the engagement with the projecting edges 5a, 5b. Therefore, the head box 5 is disengaged from the engagement position with the bracket, and the blind is removed.

In addition, it is preferable to form a temporary fixing claw 3d on the hook member 3. If such a temporary fixing claw 3d is formed, when the blind is attached by one worker, the head box 5 can be easily attached. First, hook one of the projecting edges 5a onto the first claw 3a of the bracket,
First, hook the other edge 5b of the head box 5 onto the temporary hook 3d. In this state, head box 5
is held by the hook member 3 to prevent it from falling. Next, when the head box 5 is lifted upward, the flange 5b further rises and snaps into the second claw 3b of the hook member, so that the head box is completely attached to the bracket.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to the blind mounting bracket according to the present invention, not only can the head box of the blind be installed extremely easily by one worker, but also the head box can be removed by one worker. This can be done extremely easily by a worker.
