Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cloth blind, and more particularly to a cloth blind characterized by a slat shape and structure.

(Prior Art) As is well known, a blind is made to suspend a large number of thin plate-like slats with an elevating cord hanging from a head box at a predetermined vertical interval, and
These slats are provided so that they can be rotated with ladder tape to adjust the light-shielding state.The slats have a width of about 10 mm to 50 mm and a length of 30 mm.
At least 2 for thin and long plates of 0 mm to 3000 mm or more
It has a structure in which a hole through which an elevating cord for raising and lowering a slat is provided at a position of a slat.In general, slats are made of a metallic material, usually lightweight, because of the strength etc. that can satisfy these requirements. It is usually constructed by using an aluminum alloy plate material.

And this blind has been used as a dimmer for windows in offices since ancient times, but recently. The personality of the interior is also emphasized, and there is a tendency for the demand to gradually increase even at the personal and home level, and in response to this, many types of color slats are being provided.

In addition, blinds that cover the slats with a bag-shaped soft cover are intended to improve the difficulty of giving a cold feeling in the office due to the fact that the metal slats are cleanly arranged in a fixed form. Proposed. (Actual Kosho 52
-56001, Shoukaisho 62-21298).

By the way, while the conventional general blind uses metal slats, it has a mechanical and functional aesthetic appearance, but on the other hand, the problem of giving a cold feeling is due to the above proposal of covering the slats with a bag-shaped soft cover. However, it has been improved so that it can give a warm feeling, but it is also only tactile and sensory, and it can be replaced by the heat insulating effect such as the heat retaining property of cloth curtains etc. is not.

In view of the current situation of the conventional blinds as described above, the present invention not only eliminates the sensual coldness of the blinds imaged because the slats are made of metal, but also functions as a window dimmer. In addition to the above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a blind that can be expected to have a heat-shielding effect that can be put to practical use as a window light control device in the cold season in relatively cold regions and temperate regions.

Further, another object of the present invention is to cover the metal slats with a cloth bag to eliminate the risk of injuring the body such as hands, and to provide a new texture of the slats covered with the cloth bag and a novel decorative effect. To provide a blind that can be brought.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A feature of a blind according to the present invention that achieves the above object is to provide a slat body composed of an elongated long plate member having shape retention and strength as a slat for a blind, and the slat. A blind including slats made of a long bag-shaped raw cloth that wraps around the main body, and the raw cloth is wrinkled at short intervals along the longitudinal direction on both edges in the width direction of the raw cloth. It has a structure in which a large number of welding points are provided.

In the above configuration, the material of the raw material cloth bag is not particularly limited, and may be any of woven cloth and non-woven cloth made of natural fiber, regenerated fiber, and synthetic fiber.

Further, the interval between the welding points is not particularly limited, and the size of the folds due to wrinkling is not limited, but in general, it may be provided at intervals of several mm.

Furthermore, the material of the slat body is not particularly limited as long as it has the required strength, but generally, a conventional aluminum thin plate (50 to 200 microns) can be used.

The pleats to which the bag-shaped raw cloth covering the slat body is wrinkled may be provided only on the front side of the slat or on both the front and back sides.

(Function) The blind of the present invention, by having the above-described configuration, forms a hollow air layer that functions as a buffer air layer inside the cloth bag that covers the slat body, and keeps heat when there is a difference in temperature between indoor and outdoor. , Bring about the effect of heat insulation.

Also, since the metal slat body does not appear on the surface, it brings a new aesthetic and decorative effect.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on Examples shown in Examples.

FIG. 3 is for explaining a general structure of a blind to which the present invention is applied. In this drawing, 20 is a head box and is attached to a window upper frame by a blind mounting bracket (not shown). Are installed along.

And inside the inside, the lifting cord 22 is installed along the lengthwise direction,
Further, a tilt shaft 23 around which a tilt drum 25 around which the upper end of the ladder tape 24 is wound is attached is also provided along the same manner.
The elevating cord 22 is extended to the outside from a stopper portion 27 provided near the end of the head box 20, and a cord stopper 26 is provided.
Is connected to the auxiliary cord 28 via. Reference numeral 29 is a rotary operation rod extended to the outside from the tilter 30 near the end of the head box 20.

Reference numeral 31 is a bottom rail assembled to the lower end of the elevating cord 22, and between the bottom rail 31 and the head box 20, a large number of slats 32 are supported by a ladder tape 24 at a constant vertical interval.

And FIG. 3 shows an example in which the slats 32 are made of thin aluminum plates.

In contrast to the conventional example described above, the blind of this example is characterized in that it is covered with a pleated cloth bag as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

That is, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is an aluminum thin plate that constitutes the slat body of the slat of this example, and its size, shape, etc. can be constructed by using the same as the conventional aluminum slat shown in FIG. In this example, the shape is slightly curved upward.

Reference numeral 2 is a cloth bag that encloses the aluminum slat main body, and is provided so as to have a long dimension with a margin for pleating than the slat main body.

And in this example, one slat body is placed in this long bag 2.
After installing the inside of the slat, fold the sides of the slat body of the bag in pairs along the lengthwise direction and weld them at intervals of several mm (welder) to pleated the slat in the direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction. Thus, the raised fold portion 3 shown in FIG. 2 is formed.

4 shows the welding point.

With this structure, a hollow air layer portion is formed inside the fold portion 3 in terms of internal structure, and it is a cloth slat having pleats at an interval of several mm from the outside.

After the pleating, the cloth slats should be used in the same manner as the blind slats described in Fig. 3 above by finishing the edges and removing the frayed edges on both sides and making a hole through which the lifting cord passes. The result is a blind with pleated fabric slats.

The pleats are made at regular intervals in the above example,
This may be freely set such that there are many pleats near the edges and less pleats at the center, or the size of the pleats may be changed according to the print pattern of the cloth bag.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the cloth blind of the present invention solves the problem that metal slats are perceived as being cold, and the cloth bag causes the slats to move at the edges of the side edges of the human hand, body, etc. It eliminates the risk of scratching, and the pleated cloth bag gives a new texture and a novel decorative effect.

In addition to the function as a window dimmer, the slats have an air layer in the folds of the cloth bag, which acts as a buffer layer against the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter. It has the effect of being able to replace the window dimmer of the curtain.

Further, since the slat cloth bag can be easily washed by removing the cloth bag, there is an effect that it can be used as a cloth blind in a clean state at all times.
