Safety device for quickly releasing control ropes of roman shades

Abstract

A safety device for Roman shades includes multiple loop members connected to each of the folding lines on the shade and multiple restriction members are connected to multiple loop members. Each restriction member includes multiple extensions which spirally wrap to each other so as to define an opening therebetween. Multiple engaging members are connected to the loop members located at a lower end of the shade. Multiple control ropes each have a top end connected to the top box of the Roman shade and the lower end of each control rope extends through the openings of the restriction members and is connected to a collar. The collars can be disengaged from the engaging members. When the control ropes are pulled laterally, the collars are disengaged from the engaging members and the control ropes are disengaged from the extensions of the restriction members.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a Roman shade, and more particularly, to a safety device for quickly releasing the control ropes of Roman shade when the control ropes are pulled not for operating the Roman shade.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A conventional Roman shade includes a shade which generally is a fabric sheet and the fabric sheet has one end fixed to the top box and a lot of folded portions are formed on the inside and / or outside of the shade so as to establish specific decoration features. A lot of passages are defined transversely through the shade and rods extend through the passage to define sections of the shade. Multiple rings are fixedly connected to the folding lines of the shade and the control ropes extend through the rings. The top ends of the control ropes are connected to the top box and the lower ends of the control ropes are fixed to the lowest rings. The user can lift and lower the shade by pull of the control ropes.[0003]When...

Benefits of technology

[0006]The primary object of the present invention is to provide a safety device for Roman shades wherein the control ropes can be easily loosen from the shade when they are pulled laterally so as to prevent children from playing and being tangled.

[0007]Another object of the present invention is to provide a safety device for Roman shades wherein the restriction members of the safety device can be made of metal or plastic material. The restriction members can be manufactured easily at low cost.

Problems solved by technology

However, the control ropes are exposed from outside of the shade and children may play the control ropes and this can be dangerous when the control ropes tangle the kids.
