Application March 2,
2 Claims.
This invention relates to cord and tape anchors for Venetian blinds and has for the primary object the provision of a device of this character which will permit the supporting tapes and the raising and lowering cords to be easily and quickly detached from a blind or the slats thereof when it is desired to remove the slats for cleaning or reconditioning and which permits rapid assembling of said parts and eliminates danger o-f said parts becoming accidentally disconnected during the use of the blind.
With these and other objects in View, this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view showing a Venetian blind equipped with my invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a top plan view illustrating an anchoring member.
Figure 4 is a bottom plan view illustrating the same.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 3.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary perspective view showing a connecting element applied to one of the supporting tapes. l
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral I indicates a fragmentary portion of a Venetian blind consisting of slats 2, supporting tapes 3, a
base member 4 and connecting strips 5 secured to the supporting tapes 3' and on which rest the slats 2, said slats having slots 6 through which extends the raising and lowering cord '1. The parts described go to make up a` Venetian' blind of a conventional construction andl to facilitate the connecting of the supportingy tapes and raising and lowering cord to the blind my invention 45 is employed and consists of a sleeve 8 formed on a plate 9. The sleeve 8 extends through an opening in the base member 4 with the plate 9 resting in a recess formed in the under face of said plate 9. 'I'he plate 9 is bent to form channel fguides I arranged in opposed relation and defining therebetween an entrance II. The ends of the supporting tapes 3 are formed with hems I2 to receive rods I3. Split sleeves I4 are slid over the hems I2 and rods I3 and frictionally grip the latter. The split sleeves I4 are slid into 1936, Serial No. 66,699
the channel guides I0 with the supporting tapes extending through the entrance or throat Il and about the edges of the base member 4. Thus it will be seen that the supporting tapes are eiliciently connected to the base member so that they can be readily disconnected from the latter when desired.
The sleeve 8 has oppositely arranged bayonet slots I to receive lugs I8 formed on a hollow plug I'I. The raising and lowering cord 1 is suitably anchored in the plug II and interposed between the anchored end of the cord and the plate 9 is a coil spring I8 acting to urge the lugs I6 tightly against the lateral branches of the bayonet slots obviating any danger of the plug I'I becoming accidentally disconnected from the sleeve 8. The plug Il may be readily disconnected from the sleeve 8 to free the raising and lowering cord from the base member 4. The plug I'I may readily pass through the slots G of the slats 2 freeing said slats from the raising and lowering cordand also permitting the slats to be withdrawn from between the Supporting tapes 3. 'I'he supporting tapes, as before described, may be readily detached from the base member 4. The raising and lowering cord l when extending through the slots 6 of the slats prevent the latter from moving off of their supporting strips 5.
The device described and illustrated in the drawing permits a Venetian blind to be readily assembled or disassembled and will prevent the various parts from becoming accidentally disconnected during useof the blind.
The supporting strips 5 may have their upper ends secured in the same manner to the usual tilting board of the blind. However, in this instance, the sleeve 8 is not connected to the raising and lowering cord and if desired, the sleeve may be of a shorter length so as not to protrude above the tilting board or may be entirely omitted and the plate 9 secured in any suitable manner to the tilting board.
Having described the invention, I claim:
1. A cord and tape anchor for Venetian blinds comprising a sleeve extending through an opening formed in the base member of a Venetian blind, a plate formed on said sleeve and having portions thereof bent to form oppos'ed and spaced channel guides, split sleeves applied to supporting tapes of the blind and received in the channel guides with the tapes extending outwardly through the space defined between said channel guides, and means for detachably securing a raising anu lowering cord of the blind to said first sleeve.
