Description

  The present invention relates to a horizontal blind that supports a plurality of slats suspended from a head box via a ladder cord.

  In the horizontal blind, a ladder cord is supported by operating a ladder cord suspension device arranged in the head box with an operation device, with multiple slats supported by a plurality of ladder cords suspended from the head box. The slats can be rotated in the same phase via the.

  Also, a bottom rail is attached to the lower end of the ladder cord, and a lower end of an elevating cord hanging from the head box is attached to the bottom rail. And by raising / lowering a raising / lowering cord with the raising / lowering apparatus in a head box by operation of an operating device, a bottom rail can be raised / lowered and a slat can be raised / lowered.

  As one type of such a horizontal blind, there is one that allows a bottom rail to be raised and lowered by hanging a plurality of lifting cords forward and rearward of the slats without passing through the slats.

  By adopting such a configuration, it is not necessary to provide a lifting / lowering cord insertion hole in each slat, so that light leakage from the insertion hole does not occur.

  In Patent Document 1, in a horizontal blind that does not allow the lifting / lowering cord to pass through the slat, the slat is inserted between the wefts where the ladder cord intersects, and the notch formed at the edge in the front / rear direction of the slat is engaged with the intersecting portion of the weft Thus, a horizontal blind is disclosed which prevents fluttering of the slats with respect to the ladder cord and longitudinal displacement (hereinafter referred to as lateral displacement).

  Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the horizontal blind shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of ladder cords 2 (five in this embodiment) are suspended from the head box 1 at equal intervals, and the ladder cord 2 has a plurality of slats 3, 4. Is supported. Also, a plurality of (three in this embodiment) lifting / lowering cords 11 to 13 hang from the head box 1.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the head box 1 is rotatably supported by elevating take-up shafts 14a to 14c capable of taking up the elevating cords 11 to 13, and can take up the ladder cord 2. The ladder take-up shaft 15 is rotatably supported.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), a tilt spring 15a is wound around the outer periphery of the ladder winding shaft 15 (FIG. 2 (a)), and is attached to each end 15b of the tilt spring 15a. The upper ends of the pair of warps 5a and 5b of the ladder cord 2 are locked. In FIGS. 3A and 3B, the ladder winding shaft 15 is not shown because it is located on the back side of the up-and-down winding shaft 14a. The pair of warp yarns 5 a and 5 b hang downward through a pair of front and rear ladder outlets 1 a provided in the head box 1. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the ladder take-up shaft 15 is rotated (clockwise in the drawing), one warp thread 5a is moved to the ladder take-up shaft 15 (tilt spring 15a). ) And the other warp yarn 5b is led out from the ladder take-up shaft 15 (ladder outlet 1a). All (5 in this embodiment) of the ladder winding shaft 15 are synchronously rotated in the same direction by the operation of the operating device 16 (see FIG. 2A), and the slats 3 are connected via the ladder cord 2. Can be rotated into an open rotation state, a normally closed rotation state, or a reverse closed rotation state.

  As shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2E, the upper end portions of the lifting cords 11 to 13 are fixed to the lifting and lowering winding shafts 14a to 14c, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the elevating cords 11 to 13 are a pair of elevating guides provided on the outer side in the front-rear direction of the pair of front and rear ladder outlets 1a provided on the head box 1. It hangs down through one of the outlets 1b. When the lifting / lowering winding shafts 14a to 14c are rotated, the lifting / lowering cords 11 to 13 are wound spirally around the lifting / lowering winding shafts 14a to 14c, or the lifting / lowering cords 11 to 13 are lifted / lowered winding shafts 14a. -14c (elevation outlet 1b).

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (a) to 2 (e), in this embodiment, the elevating cords 11 and 13 located on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the slats 3 and 4 hang down to the rear side of the slats 3 and 4. The elevating cord 12 located at the center in the longitudinal direction of the slats 3 and 4 hangs down to the front side of the slat 3. The rear side is the outdoor side, and the front side is the indoor side.

  Of the lifting cords 11 to 13, the winding direction of the lifting cords 11 and 13 to the lifting and lowering winding shafts 14a and 14c is opposite to the winding direction of the lifting and lowering cord 12 to the lifting and lowering winding shaft 14b. It is said that.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, when a motor (not shown) is driven by the operation of the operating device 16, the shaft 17 and the lifting and lowering winding shafts 14a and 14c rotate integrally and via the gear portion 18. Thus, when the rotational force is transmitted in the reverse direction, the lifting / lowering take-up shaft 14b that is rotatable (idling) with respect to the shaft 17 rotates in the reverse direction. Thereby, all the raising / lowering cords 11-13 are wound around the raising / lowering winding shafts 14a-14c synchronously, or are derived | led-out from the raising / lowering winding shafts 14a-14c (elevation extraction port 1b) synchronously. become.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, a bottom rail 19 is attached to the lower end portion of the ladder cord 2. Specifically, the bottom rail 19 of the present embodiment has the warp yarns 5a and 5b of the ladder cord 2 fixed to the width direction of the bottom rail 19 as viewed from the longitudinal direction, that is, the lower portions at both ends in the front-rear direction. It is set as the curved part 19a which curved to the width direction inner side, so that it goes. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8B, the bottom rail shape member of the bottom rail 19 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape with a hollow cross-sectional shape. As shown in FIG. 8B, the bottom rail shape material of the present embodiment is formed such that the length of the upper side 19b (length along the front-rear direction) L1 is shorter than the length L2 of the lower side 19c, and the outer periphery is formed. Both the upper side 19b and the lower side 19c are formed as loose curves, and a wall rising from the lower side 19c toward the upper side 19b is formed as a curve so as to be continuous with the curved surface on the outer periphery of the upper side 19b. In addition, the tape holder 19e (see FIG. 8A) can be engaged by providing front and rear projecting pieces 19d projecting outward at the front and rear end edges of the lower side 19c. Moreover, the thickness L3 of the center part of the upper side 19b is formed thicker than the thickness L4 of the lower side 19c. Further, lower ends of the lifting cords 11 and 13 hanging from the rear side of the slat 3 to the outdoor side are fixed to the lower part of the rear side of the bottom rail 19 and are forward of the slats 3 and 4 and to the indoor side. The lower end portion of the hanging lifting / lowering cord 12 is fixed to the lower portion on the front side of the bottom rail 19. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the lower end portion of the rear lifting / lowering cord 11 is fixed to the lower portion of the bottom rail 19 on the rear side.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the ladder cord 2 is provided with a multi-stage of two weft threads 6a, 6b for supporting the multi-stage slats 3, 4 between the warp threads 5a, 5b. The two weft yarns 6a and 6b constitute a set of weft yarns.

  Each of the weft yarns 6a and 6b is formed at a position spaced apart from the warp yarns 5a and 5b in the vertical direction so that a crossing portion 7 intersecting with each other is formed at the intermediate portion. That is, in one warp 5a, the weft 6b is formed below the weft 6a, and in the other warp 5b, the weft 6a is formed below the weft 6b. Therefore, for example, when the warp 5a moves downward and the warp 5b moves upward as shown in FIG. 5 by the operation of the operation device 16, the weft 6b slightly loosens, whereas the weft 6b slightly loosens. Is in a tensioned state, that is, in a tensioned state.

  The slats 3 and 4 are thin aluminum plates and are formed in a curved shape that is convex from the side, that is, from the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, two types of slats 3 and 4 are used. Each of the slats 3 and 4 includes a rear side edge (first edge) located on one side in the front-rear direction, ie, the rear side, and a front side edge (first edge) located on one side in the front-rear direction, ie, the rear side. 2 edges).

Moreover, in the place where each notch part 3a, 4a is not provided, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.6 (c), each slat 3,4 is mounted on the weft thread 6a, 6b, and is arrange | positioned. This arrangement place is called an upper place. In addition, in each step of the ladder cord 2 where the elevating cords 11 to 13 do not exist along the ladder cord 2, all the slats 3 and 4 are placed on the wefts 6a and 6b to become the above-mentioned riding places. . In this embodiment, the ladder code 2 in which the elevating cords 11 to 13 do not exist is the second and fourth ladder cords 2 from the end, and corresponds to the single ladder code portion Z.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 6A and 7, the elevating cords 11 and 13 are inserted between the wefts 6a and 6b at the sixth stage or less. Specifically, the lifting cords 11 and 13 of the present embodiment are in the sixth stage or less, and as shown in FIG. 7, the weft yarns 6a and 6b so that the intersecting portion 7 is interposed between the slats 3 and 4, as shown in FIG. Is inserted in between. In the sixth stage and below, the lifting cords 11 and 13 are inserted between the weft yarns 6a and 6b on the rear side from the intersecting portion 7, and the slats 3 and 4 are inserted between the weft yarns 6a and 6b on the front side from the intersecting portion 7. Yes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6B, the lifting cords 11 and 13 are not inserted between the weft yarns 6a and 6b but arranged along the warp yarns 5a from the top to the fifth step. Yes. Here, ring members R are provided at every second stage (between the uppermost stage (first stage) and the second stage, and between the third stage and the fourth stage) on the warp 5a along the lifting cords 11 and 13. Each is provided so as to penetrate. Further, by providing the ring members R so as to penetrate the elevating cords 11 and 13, the ring members R are held so that the distance from the warp yarn 5a is not more than a certain value. The ring member R between the uppermost stage (first stage) and the second stage is formed to have a larger diameter than the ring member R between the third stage and the fourth stage. 13 is guided so as to gradually approach the warp yarn 5a until it is inserted into the sixth weft yarn 6a, 6b (see FIG. 3). Further, the ring member R of the present embodiment is made of a resin material.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 (c), the lifting / lowering cord 12 is provided at every second stage below the sixth stage, that is, between the weft threads 6a and 6b at the sixth, ninth and twelfth stages. Has been inserted. In the sixth stage, the lifting / lowering cord 12 is also inserted between the weft threads 6a and 6b so that the intersecting portion 7 is interposed between the lifting and lowering cords 11 and 13 and the slat 4. In the sixth stage, the lifting / lowering cord 12 is inserted between the weft yarns 6 a and 6 b on the front side from the intersecting portion 7, and the slat 4 is inserted between the weft yarns 6 a and 6 b on the rear side from the intersecting portion 7. Further, at the 7th stage or less, that is, the 9th stage and the 12th stage, the lifting / lowering cord 12 is inserted between the weft yarns 6a and 6b on the front side from the intersecting portion 7, and the weft yarns 6a and 6b on the rear side from the intersecting portion 7 are inserted. The slat 4 is not inserted between them. In the present embodiment, the sixth stage at the position along the lifting cords 11 and 13 constitutes the first insertion place, and the sixth stage at the position along the lifting code 12 constitutes the second insertion place. .

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.6 (d), the raising / lowering code | cord | chord 12 is not inserted between the wefts 6a and 6b from the uppermost stage to the 5th stage, but is arrange | positioned along the warp 5b. Here, the ring member R penetrates the warp yarn 5b along the lifting / lowering cord 12 every two stages, that is, between the uppermost stage (first stage) and the second stage, and between the third stage and the fourth stage. Are provided respectively. Further, by providing the ring member R so as to penetrate the elevating cord 12, the distance from the warp yarn 5b is held to be a certain value or less. In addition, the ring member R through which the lifting / lowering cord 12 penetrates also has a larger diameter than the ring member R between the third stage and the fourth stage of the ring member R between the uppermost stage (first stage) and the second stage. At the time of closing and turning, the lifting / lowering cord 12 is guided so as to gradually approach the warp yarn 5b until it is inserted into the sixth weft yarns 6a and 6b.

  Next, the operation of the horizontal blind constructed as described above will be described.

  First, the action regarding the shielding property will be described.

  When the operation device 16 is operated, as shown in FIG. 9A to FIG. 9C, the forward warp 5a is moved downward and the forward warp 5b is moved upward. The weft thread 6a is slightly loosened, and the weft thread 6b is in a tensioned state, that is, a tensioned state.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 9A, the weft thread 6 a enters the notch 4 a of the slat 4 on the upper side (from the top to the fifth) of the hanging part of the lifting cords 11, 13, When the rear side edge (lower edge) falls downward, the degree of rising of the slat 4 increases.

  At this time, the weft thread 6a enters the notches 3a and 4a of the slats 3 and 4 as shown in FIG. As the rear side edge portions (lower end edge portions) of 3 and 4 fall downward, the rising degree of the slats 3 and 4 increases.

  At this time, since the weft thread 6b supports the notch 4b of the slat 4, as shown in FIG. 9C, on the upper side of the hanging portion of the lifting / lowering cord 12, that is, from the uppermost stage to the sixth stage, the slat 4 The front side edge (upper edge) of the slat 4 is in a lowered position, and the rising degree of the slat 4 is slightly smaller than the hanging part of the lifting cords 11 and 13, but the hanging part of the lifting cords 11 and 13 The shielding performance from the uppermost stage to the sixth stage does not decrease due to the fall of the heel.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9D, the lower side (seventh stage or less) of the hanging part of the lifting / lowering cord 12 and the part of each stage of the single ladder cord part Z are stretched (tensioned). On the weft thread 6b in the state, the front side edge (upper edge) of the slat 4 is pushed in the rising direction, and the shielding property is increased at the same position.

  And as a whole, although there is an element in which the shielding property is lowered on the upper side (from the uppermost stage to the sixth stage) of the hanging part of the lifting / lowering cord 12, it is complemented at different parts in the longitudinal direction, so that the whole shielding property is obtained. Is high and good.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 (e) to 9 (g), reverse operation of the back warp 5a is moved upward and the front warp 5b is moved downward as shown in FIGS. Sometimes, the weft thread 6b is slightly loosened, and the weft thread 6a is in a tensioned state, that is, a tensioned state.

  At this time, since the weft thread 6a supports the notch 4a of the slat 4, as shown in FIG. 9 (e), on the upper side of the hanging part of the lifting cords 11 and 13, that is, from the uppermost stage to the fifth stage, The rear edge (upper edge) of 4 is in a lowered position, the rising degree of the slat 4 is slightly reduced, and the shielding performance tends to be lowered at the same location.

  Further, at this time, the weft 6a supports the notches 3a and 4a of the slats 3 and 4 as shown in FIG. The rear edge (upper edge) of the slats 3 and 4 is in a lowered position, and the rising degree of the slats 3 and 4 is slightly reduced, and the shielding performance tends to be lowered at the same location.

  However, on the upper side of the hanging portion of the lifting / lowering cord 12, that is, from the uppermost stage to the sixth stage, the weft thread 6 b enters the notch 4 b of the slat 4 as shown in FIG. Since the part (lower edge part) falls downward, the rising degree of the slat 4 is increased, so that the shielding property is not lowered.

  At this time, the lower side of the hanging portion of the lifting / lowering cord 12, that is, the seventh step or less, or the portion of each step of the single ladder cord portion Z, as shown in FIG. On the weft 6a in a state where the slat is applied, the rear side edge (upper edge) of the slat 4 is pushed in the rising direction, and the shielding performance is increased at the same position. Complements the tendency to decrease the tilt angle in reverse fully closed, and maintains a high shielding state.

  And as a whole, although there is an element in which the shielding performance is lowered due to reverse full closure at the hanging portion of the elevating cords 11 and 13, the whole shielding property is high and good by complementing at different locations in the longitudinal direction.

  Further, in the state shown in FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B at the hanging portion of the lifting cords 11 and 13 (at the time of normal closing rotation), the central portion in the front-rear direction of the slat 4 is shown in FIG. 9A and 9B, the front side edge (upper edge) of the slat 4 is held so as to rise by being restrained in the left direction (front direction of the slat 4). Therefore, the shielding property becomes high at the same location. Further, in 6 stages or less (see FIG. 9B), since the elevating cords 11 and 13 are located between the rear edge of the slats 3 and 4 and the warp 5a, the rising is good. Therefore, the shielding property is further increased at the same location.

  Further, in the state shown in FIG. 9G of the hanging portion of the lifting / lowering cord 12 (at the time of reverse closing rotation), the central portion in the front-rear direction of the slat 4 is moved rightward in FIG. By being restrained in the rearward direction of the slat 4, the rear side edge (upper edge) of the slat 4 is held so as to rise. Therefore, the shielding property becomes high at the same location.

  Further, at the time of the sixth fully-closed rotation of the hanging portion of the lifting / lowering cord 12, the lifting / lowering cord 12 and the warp yarn 5 b are connected to the upper edge of the slat 4 as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b). Is pushed in the direction in which the degree of rising is increased, the shielding performance is improved (as compared with the case where the lifting / lowering cord 12 is not provided).

  In addition, when the fully-lowered rotation of the sixth and lower stages of the hanging portions of the lifting cords 11 and 13 is performed, the lifting and lowering between the slats 3 and 4 and the warp 5a is performed as shown in FIGS. 10 (c) and 10 (d). The shielding property is also improved by interposing the cords 11 and 13.

  In addition, at the time of reverse fully closed rotation at the sixth stage of the hanging position of the lifting / lowering cord 12, as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 10 (b), the lifting / lowering cord 12 is interposed between the slat 4 and the warp 5b. This also improves the shielding properties.

  Further, at the time of reverse fully closed rotation at the sixth stage or lower of the hanging part of the lifting / lowering cords 11 and 13, as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), the lifting / lowering cords 11 and 13 and the warp yarn 5a are slatted. Since the upper end edges of 3 and 4 are pushed in the direction in which the rising degree is increased, the shielding performance is improved as compared with the case where the lifting cords 11 and 13 are not provided.

  Next, the movement of the slats 3 and 4 with respect to the ladder cord 2 in the longitudinal direction, that is, the action relating to the lateral displacement will be described.

  For example, when the notched portions 3a and 4a at the rear side edge portions of the slats 3 and 4 are rotated downward, the ladder cord 2, particularly the weft thread 6a is engaged with the notched portions 3a and 4a. The lateral displacement of 3 and 4 is prevented.

  Further, when the notched portion 4b at the front edge of the slat 4 is reversely closed and turned downward, on the upper side, that is, from the uppermost stage to the sixth stage, the ladder cord 2, particularly the weft thread 6b, is engaged with the notched portion 4b. By combining, the lateral displacement of the slat 4 is prevented.

  Further, at the time of this reverse closing rotation, on the lower side, that is, the seventh and lower stages, the lifting cords 11 and 13 are inserted between the weft yarns 6a and 6b, so that the notched portion of the rear side edge (upper edge) Since the lifting / lowering cords 11 and 13 are engaged with 3a in addition to the ladder cord 2, the lateral displacement of the slat 3 is prevented.

  Specifically, when the slat 3 tries to shift laterally in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 12A, that is, in the right direction, the weft thread 6b is engaged with the weft thread 6a engaged with the lift code 11 by inserting the lift code 11. The lateral displacement of the slat 3 in the right direction is prevented by the weft thread 6b engaging with the left edge portion of the notch 3a.

  On the other hand, when the slat 3 tries to laterally shift in the arrow direction shown in FIG. 12B, that is, in the left direction, the weft thread 6b engaged with the lifting / lowering cord 11 engages with the right edge portion of the notch 3a. Is prevented from shifting to the left.

  Further, as described above, when the notched portions 3a and 4a at the rear side edge portions of the slats 3 and 4 are rotated downward, the central portion in the front-rear direction of the slats 3 and 4 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 9 (a) and FIG. 9 (b), it is restrained in the left direction, that is, in the forward direction of the slat 4, so that the posture is stably maintained, and the lateral displacement of the slats 3 and 4 is prevented.

  Further, as described above, when the notched portion 4b of the front side edge portion of the slat 4 is reversely rotated, the center portion in the front-rear direction of the slat 4 is moved rightward in FIG. 9 (f) by the weft 6a. That is, by restraining the slat 4 in the rearward direction, the posture is stably maintained, and the lateral displacement of the slat 4 is prevented.

  Next, the characteristic effects of the above embodiment will be described below.

  (1) In the single notch step (seventh step or less), when the notch 3a is in the normally closed rotation where the notch 3a is downward, the ladder cord 2, particularly the weft 6a, is engaged with the notch 3a so that the slat 3 is laterally displaced. Is prevented. Further, even when the notch 3a is turned upward and reversely closed, the ladder cord 2, in particular, the lifting and lowering cords 11 and 13 act on the notch 3a in addition to the weft 6a, thereby preventing the lateral displacement of the slat 3. The

  Further, at both notch stages (fifth stage from the top), the ladder code 2 along which the elevating cords 11 and 13 are aligned is fully closed and engaged with the notched portions 3a and 4a, and the ladder code 2 along which the elevating cord 12 is aligned is reversed. Engage with the notch 4b when fully closed. Accordingly, the lateral displacement of the slat 4 is prevented during both the normal closing rotation and the reverse closing rotation. The sixth stage is the same, but the lateral displacement is surely prevented from the amount that the lifting / lowering cords 11 to 13 are inserted.

  Further, in the one notch step (the seventh step or less), since the notch portion 3a is provided only at the rear side edge portion of the slat 3, the aesthetic appearance is good and the light leakage is reduced and the shielding property is increased. In addition, lateral slippage is prevented even when reverse fully closed.

  (2) In the upper six stages, the slats 3 and 4 are inserted between the weft threads 6a and 6b so that the notches 3a, 4a and 4b face the intersecting parts 7, respectively. , 4b are opposed to the crossing portion 7, so that the slats 3, 4 flutter, both in the open rotation, in the normal rotation, and in the reverse rotation regardless of the arrangement of the lifting / lowering cords 11-13. A lateral shift can be prevented satisfactorily. In the sixth stage, the slat 4 is inserted into the front triangle of the wefts 6a and 6b intersecting at least in one row of the plurality of ladder cords 2, and the slat 4 is inserted into the rear triangle in at least one row. There is less bias compared to inserting in a triangle. Moreover, although the notches 4a and 4b are provided, the shielding performance is improved by interposing the lifting / lowering cords 11-13.

  (3) The lifting / lowering cords 11 to 13 have a constant lead-out position from the head box 1, that is, the position of the head-and-head direction 1 of the lifting / lowering outlet 1b is constant. Although it is necessary to arrange outside the warp yarns 5a, 5b of the cord 2, the lateral displacement of the slat 4 can be prevented even from the uppermost stage to the predetermined stage. That is, the lateral displacement of the slats 3 and 4 while satisfying the restriction that the elevating cords 11 to 13 must be arranged outside the warp yarns 5a and 5b of the ladder cord 2 from the uppermost stage to the predetermined stage (the fifth stage in the present embodiment). Can be prevented. Further, since the ring member R having a large diameter is provided on the warp yarns 5a and 5b of a predetermined step from the top, and the ring member R having a small diameter is provided on the warp yarns 5a and 5b lowered by a predetermined step, the ring member R having a small diameter is further predetermined. The elevating cords 11 to 13 can be guided gradually toward the center in the front-rear direction of the slat 4 between the wefts 6 a and 6 b of the ladder cord 2 that supports the slat 4 provided below the step.

  (4) Since the notch 3a is provided only at the rear edge of the slat 3, the slat 3 provided with the notch 3a has no notch at the front edge, and the front side, that is, the indoor side The aesthetics seen from can be made good. In addition, the design is refreshed compared to the conventional pico-passing system.

  (5) The weft yarns 6a and 6b are in a state in which one weft yarn is tensioned, that is, in a tensioned state, in the vicinity of the fully closed angle, both in the normal closing rotation and in the reverse closing rotation. Therefore, at the upper place where the slats 3 and 4 are placed on the weft yarns 6a and 6b, the upper edge of the slats 3 and 4 on the weft yarn 6a (6b) in a tensioned state, that is, a tensioned state. Is pushed in the direction toward the top surface side of the slat in the front-rear direction of the blind in the direction in which the wake up occurs, that is, in the vicinity of the full closing angle, and the shielding performance is enhanced at the same location.

  Further, at the insertion point where the slats 3 and 4 are inserted between the weft yarns 6a and 6b, as described above, the upper edge of the slats 3 and 4 is lowered at the time of forward rotation and reverse rotation. Then, the rising degree of the slats 3 and 4 becomes relatively small, and there is an element that the shielding property is lowered at the same location. However, it is possible to make the whole shielding property high and good by complementing at different places in the longitudinal direction, that is, the above-mentioned upper place.

  (6) Since the upper part is provided in at least one place on each stage, the shielding property of each stage can be made high and favorable.

  (7) Since the part corresponding to the longitudinal direction edge part of the slats 3 and 4 is made into the said insertion part, the longitudinal direction edge part of the slats 3 and 4 becomes difficult to flutter with a wind etc.

  (8) As shown in FIGS. 10 (a) to 10 (d) and FIGS. 11 (a) to 11 (d) at the lifting / lowering cord insertion portion where the lifting / lowering cords 11 to 13 are inserted between the weft threads 6a and 6b. In addition, the elevating cords 11 to 13 improve the shielding performance.

  (9) The bottom rail 19 is a curved portion 19a that is curved inward in the width direction as the upper ends of both ends in the width direction are directed upward, that is, a curved wall that rises from the lower side 19c toward the upper side 19b. During movement, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, when one of the warp yarns 5 a is along the curved portion 19 a during the normal closing rotation, the degree of rising of the bottom rail 19 is greater than that of the one where the upper ends in the width direction are square. Therefore, the shielding property at the same location is increased.

  The above embodiment may be modified as follows.

  In the above embodiment, in one warp yarn 5a, the weft yarn 6b is formed below the weft yarn 6a, and in the other warp yarn 5b, the weft yarn 6a is formed below the weft yarn 6b, thereby forming the weft yarn 6a, Although it was set as 6b, it is not limited to this, You may change the structure of a weft. For example, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), weft yarns 21a and 21b are provided in parallel to the warp yarns 5a and 5b, and a pair of intersecting portions 22 is formed by reversing the vertical relationship between them at the intermediate portion of the weft yarns 21a and 21b. And the slats 3 (4) may be inserted between the wefts 21a and 21b at the intermediate portion. Even if it does in this way, the effect similar to the effect of the said embodiment can be acquired. For example, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), at the time of reverse closing rotation, in the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal blind, on the upper side of the portion corresponding to the lifting / lowering cord 12, that is, from the uppermost stage to the sixth stage. Regardless of the arrangement of the lifting / lowering cord 12, even if it is arranged outside the warp yarn 5 b, the lateral displacement of the slat 4 is prevented by engaging the ladder cord 2, particularly the crossing portion 22, with the cutout portion 4 b.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the lifting cords 11 and 13 and the slats 3 (4) are inserted into a common space so that the wefts 31a to 31d do not intersect in plan view, and the left side of one slat 3 (4) The weft 31b that is on the right in plan view is formed below the warp 5a from the weft 31a that is on the left in plan view, and the weft 31c that is on the right in plan view on the right side of the same slat 3 (4) in plan view. You may form above the warp 5a rather than the weft 31d which comes to the left side.

  In this example, for example, regardless of which of the slats 3 is laterally displaced in the left-right direction, one of the weft threads 31b, 31d engaged with the lifting cords 11, 13 at one of the longitudinal ends is the edge of the notch 3a. By engaging the portion, the lateral displacement of the slat 3 in the left-right direction is prevented.

  -In the said embodiment, although the wefts 6a and 6b of each step were comprised with two, it is not limited to this, You may comprise with three or more.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, four wefts 41 a to 41 d may be provided in each stage. In this example, in one warp 5a, wefts 41a to 41d are formed at equal intervals from above, and in the other warp 5b, wefts 41c, 41d, 41a, 41b are formed from above at equal intervals. ing. And the slat 3 should just be inserted in the space between the crossing part 42 and the warp 5b so that the said notch part 3a (illustration omitted in FIG. 16) may oppose the crossing part 42 of the weft 41a and the weft 41d. .

  For example, as shown to Fig.17 (a), it is good also as a structure which provided the three wefts 6a, 6b, 51 in each step | level. In this example, the weft thread 51 is spirally entangled with the weft thread 6b between about 2/3 from the warp thread 5b to the warp thread 5a. And the said raising / lowering cord 11 (13) is inserted between the part where the weft 6b and the weft 51 are not entangled (the warp 5a side).

  In this example, as shown in FIGS. 17 (b) and 17 (c), the slat 3 has a weft on the warp yarn 5b side (front side) with respect to the intersecting portion of the weft yarns 6a and 6b and the intersecting portion of the weft yarns 6a and 51. It is inserted between 6a and 6b.

  Even if it does in this way, as shown in FIG.17 (c), even at the time of reverse closing rotation, the wefts 6b and 51 engaged with the raising / lowering cord 11 engage with the edge part of the notch part 3a. The lateral displacement of the slat 3 in the left-right direction is prevented.

  As shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, the lifting cord 12 and the slat 4 are commonly used so that the weft threads 6a and 6b do not intersect in plan view at the sixth stage of the hanging portion of the lifting cord 12. Even when the fully-enclosed rotation is performed, the lifting / lowering cord 12 and the warp 5b push up the upper edge of the slat 4 in a direction in which the rising degree increases, so that the lifting / lowering cord 12 does not exist. Shielding is improved.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 18C and 18D, the lifting cords 11 and 13 are arranged so that the wefts 6a and 6b do not intersect in plan view at the sixth level or lower of the hanging portions of the lifting cords 11 and 13, respectively. And the slats 3 (4) may be inserted into a common space, and even during this fully fully closed rotation, the lifting and lowering cords 11 and 13 are interposed between the slats 3 and 4 and the warp 5a, so that the shielding property can be obtained. improves.

  Of course, the shielding performance is also improved in the reverse fully closed rotation.

  In the above-described embodiment, the lifting cords 11 to 13 are embodied as horizontal blinds that are wound around the lifting and lowering winding shafts 14a to 14c by the driving force of the motor. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and FIGS. As shown in FIG. 6, the cord equalizer 61 may be embodied by a horizontal blind of a type in which the lifting cords 11 to 13 are moved upward by pulling the cord equalizer 61 by hand.

  Even if it is embodied in such a type of horizontal blind, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the above embodiment.

  In the above-described embodiment, the upper and lower notch stages in which the elevating cords 11 to 13 are not inserted between the weft threads 6a and 6b and the notches 4a and 4b are provided at the front edge and the rear edge of the slat 4 are the uppermost stages. However, the number of stages provided with both notch stages may be appropriately changed to other stages depending on the width of the ladder cord and the width in the front-rear direction of the lift outlet 1b. For example, both notched steps may be provided from the uppermost stage to the fourth stage or from the uppermost stage to the seventh stage.
