Description
[0001] The present invention consists in an assembly for rolling
blinds that includes a coiler device for blinds foreseen for being
connected to the ends of an axis of a winding-on drum; that it
involves a support portion connected with retention by interlocking
of at least a defined elastic element in a support element for its
fixation to a ceiling or in a wall, so that this support portion
extends radially with respect to the axis of the drum and involves
a cavity with an access opening, and because the support element
incorporates two fins, with elastic deformation and fits to
pressure within the mentioned cavity capable of showing through two
windows one in front of the other of the mentioned cavity.
BACKGROUNDS OF THE INVENTION
[0002] It is known in the state of the art different fixation
systems, by clips, of blind elements.
[0003] The Spanish utility model n.degree. 9600893 (1033780U)
"Fixation device for assembly of drawers of blinds", in the name of
Persianas Persax, S.A., it is specially thought for the connection
or the mutual fixation between front ends and profiles or
constituent plates of the longitudinal walls, and it uses a
clipping system, in correspondence with each point of fixation
foreseen between the front end and the plate, which it has to
incorporate a first tongue-piece to which the clip is fitted and
later the clip is fitted together in the profile or plate.
[0004] In U.S. Pat. No. 5,709,258, of Advanced Design Group, LLC,
it is foreseen clipping systems in the blind cap for fixing the
elevator system of the rope.
[0005] Also it is known the clipping system in the U.S. Pat. No.
5,273,096 where a clip is used to fix a tubular member and the rope
or cable for going up and going down the blind.
[0006] All these inventions can not give a solution to the same
problem, once you have the blind guide, sometimes with the curtains
hanging, how you can take it down from the ceiling or the wall or
hang it again without any problems with belts, cables, guides.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICATION
[0007] This application has as its objective to facilitate the task
of positioning of blinds by means of a simple installation of the
same ones, making its assembly easy and its later extraction in the
case it was necessary.
[0008] One of the great problems for the positioning of blinds
consisted in that the support that held the blind, when fixing it
to a fixed element like a wall or ceiling, or it has to be fitted
together to the blind coiler, which it made difficult the exact
positioning of the same one as a consequence of the weight of this
last element, or said support was a square to which once it is
fixed to the wall the blind coiler had to assemble, but it did not
make that the mentioned problems disappear.
[0009] The inventor has created a assembly that it facilitates the
positioning of the support by its reduced dimensions and weight,
and on the other hand the coiler does not have to assemble, because
simply introducing the support within a cavity associated to this
coiler element, through a mechanism similar to a clip, the support
is blocked into the cavity and coiler element is held in that
way.
[0010] Moreover, if it was necessary to strip the mentioned coiler
element, simply pressing the fins existing in the same support and
the coiler element is being free by its own weight.
[0011] A protuberance in the support has been foreseen, that once
it is introduced into the cavity, it is located into a second
cavity, which it exists between two walls inside the first cavity,
with the technical characteristic to support the weight of the
coiler element, when the effort of the assembly must be horizontal
and nonvertical type.
[0012] Another one of the advantages of this system is that it
allows to reduce the dimensions and weight of means of driving of
the coiler element.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0013] With the purpose to facilitate the explanation a sheet of
drawings is attached to the present description in which it has
been shown a practical embodiment, which it is mentioned only for
purpose of example, non limitative of the scope of the present
invention.
[0014] In these sheet of drawings:
[0015] FIG. 1 shows a frontal sight of the assembly for rolling
blinds, with a section cut of the fixation of a support element in
the ceiling, without being assembled in the ceiling.
[0016] FIG. 2 illustrates a lateral sight of the assembly, without
being assembled in the ceiling.
[0017] FIG. 3 consists of a frontal partial sight of the assembly,
already assembled in the ceiling, with a section cut that allows
the support element to be seen.
[0018] FIG. 4 represents a lateral partial sight of the assembly,
already assembled in the ceiling, with a section cut that allows
the above mentioned support element.
CONCRETE EMBODIMENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
[0019] FIG. 1 is a sight of the assembly which it includes a first
piece composed by support elements (3), a portion (15) that joins
two small arms (16) of the mentioned support element (3), with a
protuberance (14) in the centre of the mentioned portion (15), fins
(9) at the end of each small arm (16), a hole (5) in said portion
(15), in order to allow to make pass a screw (11) to fix the
referred portion (15) to a wall or ceiling (4); and a second piece
which it incorporates a support portion (6), which it includes a
winding-on drum (2) with an axis (1), windows (10) which they
belong to a cavity (7) located inside the mentioned support portion
(6), in whose inner part there are also two walls (13) that define
a cavity (12).
[0020] The referred first piece that it includes the support
element (3), with the fin (9), fixed to the ceiling (4) and
mentioned the second piece that includes the winding-on drum (2)
with its axis (1), the support portion (6) and the window (10) are
illustrated in FIG. 2.
[0021] FIG. 3 determines the mentioned assembly once the referred
support element (3), properly fixed to the ceiling (4), has been
introduced into the cavity (7), located inside the mentioned
support portion (6), with the two fins (9) partially in the outside
of the mentioned support portion (6), through the previously
indicated windows, being possible to realise also the two walls
(13) that define the cavity (12) for introduction of the
protuberance (14).
[0022] In FIG. 4 it can be observed the way of fixation of the
assembly, object to the present invention, in the ceiling (4),
through the screw (11), which it crosses the hole (5) located in
the portion (15).
[0023] In that way, in a first phase, that it is developed all over
the first piece, the support element (3) is fixed through the
portion (15) to the ceiling (4) or a wall, through a screw (11)
that it crosses said portion (15) through a hole (5), which it was
been made in it for such effect.
[0024] The second piece is approached to the first piece, in such a
way that the first piece is introduced within the first cavity (7),
belonging to the second piece, being necessary for it to press on
the two fins (9), to allow the entrance of mentioned first piece
within second.
[0025] Once the first piece is within the second piece, the
resulting position is the one as follows: the fins (9) are
partially on the outside through the windows (10), fixing and
blocking that the first and second pieces are separated by action
of the gravity, moreover introducing the protuberance (14) in the
cavity (12), located this last one between the walls (13).
[0026] In order to separate the two pieces, it is only necessary to
press into the inner part both fins (9) (9) in such a way that no
longer they can not exert fixation and the own gravity separates
the two pieces.
[0027] The protuberance (14) is significantly relevant in the case
that the fixation of the portion (15) is made in a wall and not in
the ceiling, so the assembly is located perpendicularly to the
previously explained position, in such a way that this protuberance
facilitates that the assembly remains firmly and raised in the
mentioned position, due to the pressure that it makes to the walls
(13).
[0028] The present invention describes an assembly for rolling
blinds. The examples mentioned here are not limitative of the scope
of the present invention, for that reason it will be able to have
different applications and/or adaptations, all of them within the
reach of the following claims.
