Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to slats for use in horizontal or vertical coverings for architectural openings and, more particularly, to such a slat that has been formed in a transversely compressible tubular configuration.
- Venetian blind which consists of a plurality of horizontally disposed wooden or aluminum slats and, more recently, plastic slats that are supported at spaced locations along their length by ladders.
- the ladders which may be tape ladders or cord ladders, consist of parallel but spaced vertically extending flexible fabric tapes or cords having a plurality of slat supporting cross-ladders or rungs extending therebetween at vertically spaced locations.
- the slats are supported on the cross-ladders.
- Lift cords extend vertically through the slats and appropriate control mechanisms are provided so that the lift cords can be raised thereby gathering or accumulating the slats into a stacked relationship when the covering is moved from an extended position across the architectural opening to a retracted position adjacent the top of the architectural opening. Further, by shifting the parallel tapes, cables or cords of the ladders in opposite vertical directions, the cross-ladders are tilted thereby tilting the slats so as to move the Venetian blind between open and closed positions to selectively permit the passage of vision and light between the slats.
- coverings for architectural openings have included vertical blinds which are similar to Venetian blinds except the slats are disposed vertically rather than horizontally.
- the slats can be pivoted about their longitudinal axes to move the covering between open and closed positions.
- the slats, as a group, can also be extended or retracted across the architectural opening.
- tubular vanes While tubular vanes have been employed in Venetian blinds, they have suffered from various drawbacks. There is a need in the art of coverings for architectural openings for a tubular slat or vane that presents a softer appearance than hard wood, plastic or aluminum slats and the like, but which will also retain its shape whether or not disposed horizontally or vertically. Furthermore, there is a need for slats that have a high degree of translucency, wherein a maximum amount of diffused light is transmitted through the shade.
- the present invention concerns a tubular slat or vane that can be used in horizontal or vertical coverings for architectural openings and wherein the vane presents a soft fabric appearance while retaining structural rigidity along its length.
- the vane can, therefore, be used in Venetian blinds or vertical blinds and when used in a Venetian blind will not noticeably sag along its length, and when used in a vertical blind will rotate uniformly along its length without helically twisting.
- the tubular vane can be made from various combinations of materials but in the preferred embodiments, the base structural component of the material is a fiberglass matting wherein the fibers might be woven, non-woven or randomly oriented but united with a thermoformable resin so that the matting has deformable memory. In other words, it can be formed under the application of heat into any desired configuration which it will yieldingly maintain. It is resilient so as to always return to that configuration even after having been temporarily deformed.
- the fiberglass matting has a layer of additional fabric or other material which is either laminated to or wrapped over the fiberglass matting to give the slat the desired texture and/or aesthetic appearance, but the fiberglass matting will present and retain the structural qualities desired for the slat so that they will withstand extreme environments which the slats encounter during shipment and use such as the compression and deformation of the slats.

- Fig. 23 is an end elevation of a strip of material from which a vane can be formed with the material having an adhesive strip on the opposite side from that shown in Fig. 21.
- Fig. 24 is an enlarged view of a second embodiment of a slat formed from the strip of material shown in Fig. 23.
- Fig. 25 is a fragmentary isometric view with parts removed of a control system for a vertical vane covering for architectural openings wherein the vanes have been formed in accordance with the present invention.
- the slat or vane 30 for use in a covering for an architectural opening in accordance with the present invention is probably seen best in Figs. 1-4 to comprise an elongated tubular body 32 having upper and lower outwardly convex side walls 34 and 36, respectively, a folded edge 38 and a secured edge 40.
- the slat is formed from a strip of material having opposite ends by folding the material longitudinally along a line proximate the centerline of the strip and securing the free ends together in overlapping relationship. The slat can be cut to any desired length either before or after formation of the tube.
- An important feature of the invention resides in the material from which the vane is made inasmuch as it is desired that the slat, under normal use conditions, maintains its tubular configuration and is capable of returning to that tubular configuration even after having been deformed or transversely compressed such as in extreme environments encountered in shipment and day-to-day use in architectural openings.
- An important component of the material is a fiberglass web which can be woven, non- woven or composed of randomly oriented glass fibers which are held together in a suitable resin.
- the preferred glass material is manufactured by Ahlstrom of Karhula, Finland and designated as product #GFT-51 GI 0-50. It is a non- woven glass fiber tissue that has weight of 50 grams per square meter.
- thermoset resin is added to the glass non- woven at the time of manufacture at a level of 21 to 24% by dry weight. It is to be appreciated that high or lower amounts of resin can be utilized depending on the properties of the resin and the fiberglass. This resin which is added to the glass mat is only dried at the point of manufacturing. This allows the subsequent user the ability to place the glass tissue within a form and heat it to its cross-linking temperature and dwell time. After the heating process, the resulting glass mat and thermosetting resin construction will maintain its shape indefinitely. The diameter of the glass fibers within the tissue is extremely small (11 microns).
- the glass fibers give the glass tissue, when observed with transmitted light, the desired amount of translucency as compared with other textile fibers which are relatively opaque when observed in the same condition of transmitted light.
- the thermosetting resin used to bind the glass fibers is a thermoformable resin so that the orientation of the fibers and the material in which they are disposed remain somewhat constant, even though flexible, until the set orientation is modified or changed by heating the material to a predetermined temperature in excess of the setting temperature of the resin.
- the fiberglass material formed with the thermoformable resin can be heated to a predetermined temperature and then molded into a predetermined configuration and after cooling will retain that configuration.
- a slat 30 made from such a fiberglass material can be formed solely from the matting of fiberglass and resin, for aesthetic or other reasons, it may be desirable to laminate a different material to the fiberglass matting. Materials such as most any fabric, foil or the like can be laminated to the fiberglass material so that once the vane is formed, the different material, located on the exterior or interior surfaces of the tubular slat, gives the slat or the vane a desired appearance.
- slat 30 has a flap or external tail portion 142, wherein the walls 34 and 36 are secured together to form the slat.
- slat 144 as best shown in Figure 24, no external tail portion is produced.
- one edge of one of the walls is folded inwardly to meet the inside surface of the other wall, wherein the folded in portion is adhesively joined to the corresponding inside surface.
- the slat 30 is shown incorporated into a Venetian blind-type covering 42 for an architectural opening wherein the Venetian blind has a headrail 44 in which the control system for the blind is disposed, a lift cord 46, a tilt wand 48, a bottom rail 50 spaced from but parallel to the headrail and cord ladders 52 at opposite ends of the blind.
- Each tubular slat 30 has been provided with aligned openings 54 in the side walls thereof adjacent to the ends of the slats so as to accommodate the incorporation of the slats into the blind system.
- the cord ladders as probably best seen in Figs.
- FIG. 6-8 have two vertically extending spaced tilt cords 56 with horizontal rungs 58 connecting the tilt cords at equal vertically spaced locations. Each rung supports an end of a slat so that the slats are disposed in a parallel horizontal orientation.
- the lift cords 46 extend through the vertically aligned openings 54 at the ends of each slat and are knotted or otherwise affixed at 62 beneath the base rail as best seen in Figs. 6-11.
- the vertical tilt cords 56 are folded along opposite edges of the slats with the rungs 58 of each cord ladder extending between slats. In the retracted position of Fig.
- the slats can be seen to still be tubular, but they are compressed into a very shallow tube so as to occupy minimal space. In that manner, the slats can be compressed into a very small space, which is actually smaller than the space occupied by wooden slats conventionally found in Venetian blinds.
- Slats 30 can also be used in other types of Venetian blinds that utilize a lift cord that extends along the outside of the blinds, typically interwoven with the vertical portion of the cord ladder.
- this type of Venetian blind no openings need be made in the surface of the slat that can allow light to pass unimpeded therethrough when the blind is in the closed position. It is appreciated that these slats may also be compressed when the blind is retracted in a similar manner as illustrated in Figure 12.
- the use of the tubular slats with external lift cords are described in greater detail in two co-pending United States patent applications that are owned by the assignee of the present application entitled "Shutter Type Covering For Architectural Openings" (patent application serial no. , filed on ) and "Ladder
- the fiberglass/resin matting material used in the slats can be used alone, but for aesthetic or other reasons, a separate material can be laminated to the base fiberglass/resin material or wrapped around the base material.
- a forming apparatus 64 and process for forming a strip material from which the slats 30 can be formed is illustrated.
- a supply roll 66 of a long strip of fiberglass/resin matting 68 is provided with the matting having a width substantially double that of the width of the proposed slat to be made from the material.
- the strip of fiberglass matting is positioned beneath a second roll 70 of an elongated strip of fabric or other material 72 which is to be laminated to the fiberglass matting 68. Free ends of the rolls of fiberglass and fabric strips are passed between a pair of confronting compression rollers 74 after a layer of adhesive has been applied to the top surface of the fiberglass matting with a conventional adhesive applicator 76.
- the adhesive could be any suitable adhesive having properties such as a thermoplastic or thermoset adhesive which tack bonds the fiberglass material 68 to the fabric material 72 as they are passed between the rollers 74. In one embodiment, no additional adhesive is applied with the thermoformable adhesive of the fiberglass matting being utilized to tack bond the fabric to the matting.
- the laminate 75 is drawn over a first heated mandril 78, which could be steel, aluminum or any suitable material, having longitudinally extending passages 80 therein adjacent to an arcuate upper surface 82 thereof. Heating fluids are passed through the passages to maintain the arcuate upper surface at a predetermined temperature in excess of the setting temperature of the thermoformable resin used in the fiberglass material and the adhesive 76.
- a section taken through the mandril 78 with the laminate thereon is seen in Fig. 15. As the material is drawn across the heated mandril, the thermoformable resin in the fiberglass material is rendered fluid so that the cross-direction of the laminate assumes the arcuate configuration of the top surface 82 of the mandril.
- the laminate 75 leaving the downstream end of the heated mandril 78 crosses over a cooling mandril 84 of the same structure as the heating mandril except that in the cooling mandril coolant is passed through longitudinal passages (not shown) to retain the arcuate top surface 88 of the cooling mandril at a preselected temperature beneath that of the heating mandril and such as to set the thermoformable resin.
- the laminate leaving the downstream end of the cooling mandril is, therefore, configured in a transverse arcuate shape and is passed around an idler roller 90 onto a take-up roller 92 where a predetermined length of the arcuate laminate strip is accumulated. While the cross-sectional configuration of the laminate may be temporarily deformed on the take-up roller 92, once the strip of laminate material is removed from the roller, it will again assume the arcuate configuration it had before it was wrapped onto the take-up roller.
- a strip roll 96 of fiberglass/resin material is disposed beneath a strip roll 98 of a fabric or other chosen material and a conventional adhesive applicator 100 is positioned therebetween to dispense a layer of adhesive onto the top surface of the fiberglass/resin material.
- the adhesive could be any suitable adhesive but preferably a thermoplastic adhesive.
- a pair of upper and lower endless belts 102 and 104, respectively, are positioned downstream from the supply rolls of fiberglass and fabric with the endless belts being wrapped around driven 106 and idler 108 rollers in a conventional manner.
- a heating mandril 110 and a downstream cooling mandril 112 Positioned between the upper and lower endless belts is a heating mandril 110 and a downstream cooling mandril 112, each mandril having an upper component 110a, 112a respectively and a lower component 110b, 112b respectively.
- the confronting faces of the upper components and lower components are convex and concave respectively and are spaced a predetermined distance to allow the free passage of the laminate therebetween.
- the upper component 110a, 112a of the heating and cooling mandrils, respectively have elongated passages 114 adjacent to the convex surface thereof for the passage of heating and cooling fluids respectively so that the adjacent convex surfaces of the mandrils are retained at predetermined temperatures.
- the laminate As the laminate is passed between the upper and lower mandril components of the heating mandril 110, it is confined in an arcuate configuration and the temperature reaches a temperature that cross links the thermoset resin.
- An optimum temperature/time duration is believed to be approximately 410°F for one minute with the Ahlstrom glass material identified above. That same arcuate configuration is maintained in the laminate as it passes through the cooling mandril 112 where the temperature is dropped beneath the temperature in the heating mandril which retains the arcuate transverse cross-sectional configuration of the laminate 75 as it leaves the downstream end of the cooling mandril and is wrapped onto a take-up roller 116.
- the transverse cross-sectional configuration of the laminate 75 might be deformed or changed temporarily while on the take-up roller, once it is unrolled, it will again assume the arcuate configuration imparted thereto as it passed through the heating and cooling mandrils.
- Figs. 18-22 illustrate how the arcuate laminate 75 is formed into the tubular slat.
- the arcuate laminate is shown in an end view in the same arcuate configuration it has after leaving the cooling mandril 112 of the forming apparatus of either Fig. 13 or 16.
- the laminate strip is first passed through a creasing apparatus 118 as illustrated in Fig. 19.
- the strip of material is temporarily flattened so as to lie above and below a pair of juxtaposed anvils 120 and between the anvils and creasing rollers 122 which have been positioned at predetermined locations relative to the strip.
- the locations of the creasing rollers are determined by where the laminate strip 75 will ultimately be folded into the desired tubular configuration.
- one crease 124 is positioned at approximately the longitudinal center of the strip on one face of the strip while another crease 126 is placed adjacent to one side edge of the strip on the opposite face. It is not critically important on which side of the strip the creases are placed, but it has been found easier to crease the material while in a flat configuration, and in order to accomplish such, it is relatively simply to run the laminate strip between the anvils and crease rollers as illustrated.
- the laminate strip 75 is passed through an adhesive application device 128 which includes a pair of corifironting rollers 130 which are spaced an adequate distance apart to allow the laminate strip to pass therebetween.
- the upper roller is shorter than the lower roller to allow space for a conventional adhesive applicator 132 which applies a strip of adhesive 133 to the top surface of the laminate strip between the crease 126 and the right edge 134 of the strip.
- the adhesive could be any suitable adhesive but preferably a thermoplastic copolyester adhesive such as Bostik 7183 made by Bostik Adhesives of Boston, Massachusetts, or Griltex 6G made by EMS of Switzerland. With reference to Fig.
- the laminate strip 75 after the laminate strip 75 emerges from the adhesive applicator, it again assumes its arcuate transverse configuration and it can then be passed through a folding mechanism (not shown) which takes the strip and folds it longitudinally along the crease 124 at the approximate longitudinal center of the strip so that the edges 134 and 138 of the strip are in overlying confronting relationship with the adhesive 133 therebetween. While the strip 75 is being folded along the approximate longitudinal centerline thereof, a flap 140 is formed by folding the edge 134 of the strip with the adhesive thereon about its associated crease 126 so that when the side edges of the laminate strip are in confronting relationship, the top wall 36 (which is shown on the bottom in Fig.
- an external tail 142 is formed which can be passed through a heat setting apparatus (not shown) to secure the edges of the laminate strip thereby permanently forming the slat into the tubular configuration shown in Fig. 22.
- a flap 154 defined between the right edge 148 of the strip and the adjacent crease line 150 can be folded inwardly to confront the top surface of the bottom wall 152 of the slat and, again, this location of the slat can be passed through a heat setting apparatus (not shown) to secure the free edges of the laminate strip together internally of the slat thereby forming a slat that does not have an external tail as in the slat of Fig. 22.
- slats 30 configured and as illustrated in Fig. 22 are shown disposed vertically in a vertical slat covering 156 for an architectural opening, the slats being suspended from a control mechanism 158 that is adapted to shift the slats longitudinally of a headrail 160 to extend or retract the covering and also rotate the slats about longitudinal vertical axes when opening or closing the covering.
- a vertical tab 162 has been formed in the end of the vane but in reality, it would be easiest to form the tab by adhesively securing a separate tab strip (not shown) to the open end of the tubular slat rather than forming the tab in the laminate strip from which the slat is formed.
- the resulting slats 30 or 144 are typically translucent. When a window covering using these slats is placed in its closed position, shadow lines are not produced on adjacent slats caused by the overlapping slat as the slats diffuse the light passing therethrough. Additionally, since the slats are hollow, as well as translucent, patterned and/or colored inserts can be inserted into the slats to change the resulting appearance of the slats as well as the slats level of translucency.
- the appearance changing inserts can be easily installed post production by consumers or window covering vendors.
- a slat 30 or 144 formed in accordance with the present invention will not sag or droop noticeably along its length even when disposed horizontally and when provided in lengths commonly found in coverings for architectural openings due in large part to the tubular construction and the resin rigidified fiberglass mat.
- the vane or slat is suitable for use in a vertical covering. When used in a vertical covering will not "barber pole" or twist along its length so that when the vane is rotated at its upper end by a control system, the lower end will rotate in unison therewith.
- the material from which the slat or vane is manufactured is important to its functionality and through use of glass fibers and a thermosetting resin, the vane can be formed to have deformation memory whereby it will retain its tubular orientation under normal circumstances but can be deformed by compressing, folding or the like and will rebound to its original configuration due to the memory provided therein with the glass fibers and the thermoformable resin.
- the slat or vane so formed is thereby resilient and can be deformed repeatedly without losing the ability to return to its original configuration. This resiliency allows the slats to be compressed as shown in Figure 12 when an associated blind assembly is retracted, and return to there undeformed configuration when the blind assembly is lowered.
