Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a blind having stereoscopic feeling and abundant in changes. CONSTITUTION:Irregularities are applied to side edges 13A, 14B of a slat 12. When a slat 12A and a slat 12B are opened to open a blind 17, irregularities 18, 19 of the side edge 13 of the slat 12 are protruded to the indoor side. The engraved pattern connecting the protruded projections 18A, 18B, 18C, 18D, 18E... and recesses 19A, 19B, 19C, 19D, 19E... of the slats 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, 12E... appears on the surface of the blind 17 toward the indoor side.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to blinds.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Blinds include vertical blinds and horizontal blinds. In either case, a large number of thin plate-shaped slats each having a constant width W are connected by connecting cords between the left and right ends. The length L of the connecting cord is slightly shorter than the width W of the slats, and the gap between the slats is opened and closed by rotating the slats 90 degrees around the axis. The way to rotate the slat is that in the vertical blind, the runner that holds the upper end of the slat is rotated by the screw in the curtain rail,
In a horizontal blind, two connecting cords, front and rear (left and right), are pulled in opposite directions to rotate. Most of the slats are made of tape-shaped ultra-thin steel plates, but some of them are made of plastic, wood, or cloth hardened by resin processing.

[0003]

The slat is a thin plate having a constant width W, and the array surface of the slats arranged in parallel constitutes the appearance of the blind. In this way, the appearance of the blind is only a large number of slats arranged in parallel, and even if a pattern is drawn on the surface of the slats, it does not have a three-dimensional effect and lacks decorativeness as an interior decoration item. It was

[0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide the blind with decorativeness as an upholstery product without impairing the functionality as a sunshade.

[0005]

The blind 17 according to the present invention includes (a) side edges 13A of two slats 12A and 12B which are connected to the connecting cord 11 and are adjacent to each other.
14B has inflection portions 15A and 15B that are not straight from the lower end 23 to the upper end 22 and that are unevenly curved, and (b) the blind 1 that closes the gap 16 between the slats 12A and 12B.
In the closed state of 7, the convex portion 18 of the inflection portion 13A of the one slat 12A and the inflection portion 1 of the other slat 12B.
The two slats 12A at the same level (height position) that overlaps the recess 19 of 4B and closes the recess 20 of the recess 19.
・ The concave portion 19 and the convex portion 18 of 12B are formed,
(C) The contour line 21A of the convex portion 18 of the one slat 12A has a shape corresponding to the contour line 21B of the concave portion 19 of the other overlapping slat 12B.

The figure shows the slats 12 of the vertical blind 17 according to the present invention by cutting out the middle portion of each slat.
The entire side edges 13 and 14 of the side edges of the side edges 13 and 14 are the inflection portions 15, but it is not necessary to form the entire side edges from the upper edge 22 to the lower end 23 of the side edges 13 and 14 to the inflection portion 15. Edge 13
It is also possible to make a part of (14) an inflection part 15 and make the remaining part straight like a conventional slat. Further, in the illustrated embodiment, all the slats 12A, 12B, 12
The inflection part 15 is attached to C, 12D, 12E, ..., However, it is not necessary to attach the inflection part 15 to all the slats, and only some of the slats 12A and 12B have the inflection part 15. With other remaining slats 12C, 12D, 1
Similarly to the conventional product, the 2E may have a straight edge in which the side edges 13 and 14 extend from the upper end 22 to the lower end 23.

The slats 12 are made of ultra-thin steel, plastic,
It is also possible to express the design by coloring the side edges 13 and edging with a wooden board, cloth or the like, or by applying a print pattern or embroidery to the widened portion sandwiched by the left and right convex portions 18 and 18. The blind 17 is the same as the conventional product.
Adjacent slats 12A and 12B face each other in parallel, a gap 16 having a width L substantially the same as the width W of the slats is formed between them, and the slats 12 are rotated about 90 degrees around the axis 24 from that state. , Adjacent slats 12A ・ 12
The side edges 13A and 14B of B are slightly overlapped with each other to close the gap 16 for use.

[0008]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION Between the slats 12A and 12B, 12B and 12C, 12C and 12D of the blind 17 according to the present invention.
In the state where the gap 16 is opened and the blind 17 is opened, the slats 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, 1 are slid.
2E ......... side edges 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D, 1
3E ... Protrude at right angles toward the room side and are arranged in parallel, and the irregularities 18 and 19 of those side edges 13 also project toward the room side, and the protruding portion 18A of each protruding slat.
・ 18B ・ 18C ・ 18D ・ 18E ......... and recess 1
9A, 19B, 19C, 19D, 19E ... The engraving pattern in the form of connecting will appear on the surface of the blind 17 toward the indoor side.

The engraved pattern is the convex portion 1 of each slat 12.
It is possible to change the positions and lengths of the concave portions 8 and the concave portions 19 and the shapes and sizes of the contour lines 21. Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment, all slats 12 have a top edge 22 to a bottom edge 23.
Although the inflection part 15 having the same shape is attached to the entire side edges 13 and 14 reaching to, it is not always necessary to do so, and the inflection part 15 is attached only to a part of the side edge 13, or
The inflection portion 15 can be attached only to some of the slats 12A and 12B, and by doing so, a desired engraving pattern can be expressed on the surface of the blind 17.

The blind 17 thus opened.
The depth of the unevenness of the engraving pattern that appears on the surface of the slat 1
When 2 is rotated around the axis 24, it becomes shallower. When the slats 12 are rotated about 90 degrees, the slats 12A
The side edges 13A and 14B of 12B slightly overlap each other to close the gap 16 and the surface of the blind 17 becomes flat, and the engraved pattern disappears from the surface of the blind 17.

As described above, according to the present invention, the blind 17 having a three-dimensional effect and rich in variation can be obtained.
