Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a blind mounting bracket and a method for mounting a blind. [Background technology]

[0002] A conventional blind mounting bracket is known from Utility Model Registration No. 3150555 (Patent Document 1). The blind mounting bracket shown in this document comprises a bracket body, a slide block slidably held on the bracket body, and a biasing means for biasing the slide block, and is configured to be able to support a blind head box (a blind support member) by means of locking portions provided on each of the bracket body and the slide block.

[0003] With this configuration, when removing the head box attached to the blind mounting bracket, it can be removed with a simple operation of simply pressing the slide block in a direction to release the locked state by the locking portion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3150555 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in this type of blind mounting bracket, the slide block is generally made of resin, which limits the mounting strength, and therefore there is a problem in that it is not possible to meet the demand for improving the mounting strength of the blind mounting bracket and maintaining a stable mounting state.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and has an object to provide a bracket for mounting a blind that can maintain a stable mounting state. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a blind mounting bracket for mounting a blind by fixing a blind support member to a fixed surface, comprising a first bracket portion and a second bracket portion having a configuration different from that of the first bracket portion, the first bracket portion having a first bracket main body fixed to a fixed surface, a first locking portion locked to one short end of the blind support member, and a second locking portion locked to the other short end of the blind support member, a slide block slidably held on the first bracket main body, and a biasing means for biasing the slide block so that both short end portions of the blind support member are supported by the first locking portion and the second locking portion, and the second bracket portion comprises a support portion capable of supporting at least the other short end of the blind support member.

[0008] According to this configuration, the blind support member is supported by the first locking portion of the first bracket portion and the second locking portion of the slide block, and the blind support member is also supported by the support portion of the second bracket portion, so that a blind mounting bracket that can improve mounting strength and maintain a stable mounting state can be realized. More specifically, even if a problem occurs in the locking state by the second locking portion of the slide block after mounting of the blind support member, the support portion complements the lock and therefore the blind support member can continue to be supported.

[0009] Various applications of the present invention are possible. For example, the second bracket portion may include a second bracket body fixed to a fixed surface, and the support portion may be operably provided on the second bracket body, and at least a portion of the support portion may be adjustable in position to a position where the other end of the blind support member in the short side direction can be supported by the operation. With this configuration, a more stable mounting state can be maintained by adjusting the position of the support portion.

[0010] The second bracket body may be capable of supporting one end of the blind support member in the short side direction, and may support both ends of the blind support member in the short side direction between the second bracket body and the support part. With this configuration, both ends of the blind support member in the short side direction can be supported by only the second bracket part, thereby realizing a blind mounting bracket that can improve mounting strength and maintain a stable mounting state.

[0011] The support portion may have a screw hole provided in the first bracket body or the second bracket body, and a screw member that is inserted into the screw hole from the outside of the first bracket body or the second bracket body and is adjustable in position by a screwing operation to a position where it can be engaged with the other end of the blind support member in the short side direction. With this configuration, a blind mounting bracket that can maintain a stable mounting state with improved mounting strength can be realized by a simple operation of simply screwing the screw member (screw) into the screw hole provided in the bracket body.

[0012] The support part may have a rotation locking part that can be moved by rotation to a position where a part of the rotation locking part can be locked to the other end of the blind support member in the short side direction, and a rotation operation part that is connected to the rotation locking part and can rotate the rotation locking part from the outside of the second bracket body. With this configuration, a blind mounting bracket that can improve mounting strength and maintain a stable mounting state can be realized by a simple operation of simply operating the rotation operation part provided on the bracket body to rotate the rotation locking part. In addition, the rotation operation part can be provided below the bracket body where it is easily visible, which is also advantageous in terms of operability.

[0013] Furthermore, the first bracket portion and the second bracket portion may be adjacent to each other and integrally configured. With this configuration, by making the first bracket portion a detachable structure of a conventional blind mounting bracket and providing a support portion in the second bracket portion, it is possible to realize a blind mounting bracket that can maintain a stable mounting state by improving the mounting strength while utilizing the conventional detachable structure.

[0014] Moreover, the second bracket portion may be incorporated into the first bracket portion, and the support portion may be disposed adjacent to the slide block of the first bracket portion. According to this configuration, since the second bracket portion is incorporated into the first bracket portion of the detachable structure of the conventional blind mounting bracket, it is possible to realize a blind mounting bracket that can maintain a stable mounting state by improving the mounting strength without changing the size of the conventional blind mounting bracket.

[0015] The first bracket portion and the second bracket portion may be separate bodies arranged next to each other. With this configuration, by making the first bracket portion a detachable structure of a conventional blind mounting bracket and providing a support portion in the second bracket portion, it is possible to realize a blind mounting bracket that can maintain a stable mounting state by improving the mounting strength while utilizing the conventional detachable structure.

[0016] In addition, according to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a blind mounting bracket for mounting a blind support member to a fixed surface, comprising a bracket body fixed to the fixed surface and capable of supporting one short end of the blind support member, the bracket body comprising a support part capable of supporting the other short end of the blind support member, the support part having a screw hole provided in the bracket body, and a screw member inserted into the screw hole from the outside of the bracket body and adjustable in position by a screwing operation to a position where it can be engaged with the other short end of the blind support member.

[0017] According to this configuration, by providing a support portion having a screw hole and a screw member that screws into the screw hole, the other end of the blind support member in the short side direction can be supported by the screw member while adjusting the position by a screwing operation. Since both ends of the blind support member in the short side direction are supported in this manner, a blind mounting bracket that can improve mounting strength and maintain a stable mounting state can be realized.

[0018] In addition, according to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a blind installation method for mounting a blind to a fixed surface using a blind mounting bracket, characterized in that a first step of supporting both short-side ends of the blind support member with the first bracket portion and a second step of supporting both short-side ends of the blind support member with the second bracket portion are performed in that order.

[0019] According to this configuration, by using a second bracket part equipped with a support part in addition to the first bracket part of the detachable structure of a conventional blind mounting bracket, it is possible to improve the mounting strength and maintain a stable mounting state while using the conventional first bracket part. Effect of the Invention

[0020] According to the present invention, a blind mounting bracket and a blind mounting method capable of maintaining a stable mounting state are provided. Other effects of the present invention will be described in the detailed description of the invention below. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configurations are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0023] The overall configuration of a roller blind 10 equipped with a bracket 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a front view of the roller blind 10 equipped with the bracket 100 according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, the roller blind 10 will be taken as an example for explanation of the blind, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to any blind such as a horizontal blind or a Roman shade.

[0024] 1, the roll screen 10 has one end of a screen 12 connected to a rotatable winding pipe 11 so as to be capable of being wound up and unwound, and the other end of the screen 12 hanging down from the winding pipe 11 and connected to a weight bar 13. The screen 12 is configured to rise and fall together with the weight bar 13 by the rotation of the winding pipe 11. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction respectively correspond to the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction of a set frame 14, which will be described later.

[0025] 1, both ends of the winding pipe 11 are rotatably supported by side plates 15 provided at both ends of a set frame 14 (a blind support member) which is fixed via brackets 100 to a window frame, ceiling, etc. (not shown). The winding pipe 11 is rotated by operating an operating chain 17 hanging down from an operating unit 16 provided at one end of the winding pipe 11. When the operation of the operating chain 17 is stopped, the winding pipe 11 can be maintained in its stopped position by a known stopper.

[0026] The overall configuration of the roller blind 10 has been described above. The bracket 100, which is a characteristic configuration of the present invention, will be described below with reference to Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining the bracket 100, where (a) is a perspective view of the bottom surface, and (b) is a perspective view of the top surface. Fig. 3 is a diagram for explaining the bracket 100, where (a) is a bottom view, (b) is an AA cross-sectional view of (a), and (c) is a BB cross-sectional view of (a).

[0027] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the bracket 100 fixes the set frame 14 to a fixed surface with two types of bracket portions 120, 140. The bracket 100 is composed of two types of bracket portions: a first bracket portion 120 and a second bracket portion 140 having a different configuration from the first bracket portion 120. The first bracket portion 120 and the second bracket portion 140 are composed of adjacent areas in the longitudinal direction of a bracket main body 160 that is fixed to a fixed surface. The bracket main body 160 has both side walls 160a, 160b in the longitudinal direction and an outdoor side wall portion 160c in the lateral direction.

[0028] (First bracket part 120) The first bracket part 120 may have a detachable structure of a conventional blind mounting bracket. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the first bracket part 120 has a first fixed side locking part 121 (first locking part) that is locked to one end part 14a (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 described later) of the set frame 14 in the short side direction, and a sliding side locking part 122 (second locking part) that is locked to the other end part 14b (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 described later) of the set frame 14 in the short side direction. The first fixed side locking part 121 is formed near the indoor side end part of one side wall part 160a of the bracket main body 160. The sliding side locking part 122 is formed at the outdoor side end part of a slide block 123 that is slidably held by the bracket main body 160.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 2(a) and Fig. 3(a), the slide block 123 is slidably held by a pair of holding portions 124 formed on one side wall portion 160a of the bracket body 160 and a central wall portion 160d formed in approximately the longitudinal center of the bracket body 160. A spring 125 (urging means) is provided between the outdoor side end portion of the slide block 123 and the outdoor side wall portion 160c of the bracket body 160. The spring 125 urges the slide block 123 so that both ends in the short side direction of the set frame 14 are supported by the first fixed side locking portion 121 and the sliding side locking portion 122.

[0030] (Second bracket part 140) As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the second bracket part 140, which is the other of the two types of bracket parts, has a second fixed side locking part 141 that is locked to one end part 14a (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 described later) in the short side direction of the set frame 14, and a screw 142 (screw member) that is locked to the other end part 14b (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 described later) in the short side direction of the set frame 14. The second fixed side locking part 141 is formed near the indoor side end part of the other side wall part 160b of the bracket main body 160. The second fixed side locking part may be formed near the indoor side end part of the central wall part 160d that is formed in the approximate center part in the longitudinal direction of the bracket main body 160 on the first bracket part 120 side.

[0031] As shown in Figures 2(a) and 3(c), the screw 142 is screwed into a screw hole 143 (screw hole) formed in the outdoor side wall portion 160c of the bracket body 160. By rotating the screw 142 from the outdoor side of the bracket body 160, the position of the tip can be adjusted to a position where the other end portion 14b in the short side direction of the set frame 14 can be supported. The screw 142 may be rotated with an L-shaped wrench or the like. The screw 142 and the screw hole 143 form a support portion capable of supporting the other end portion 14b in the short side direction of the set frame 14.

[0032] The above has described the configuration of the bracket 100. Below, the procedure for fixing the set frame 14 to the bracket 100 will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 shows the procedure for fixing the set frame 14 to the first bracket portion 120. Figure 5 shows the procedure for fixing the set frame 14 to the second bracket portion 140.

[0033] First, the procedure for fixing the set frame 14 to the first bracket portion 120 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Before the set frame 14 is attached to the bracket 100, as shown in Fig. 4(a), the slide block 123 is pressed by the spring 125 and positioned toward the interior side of the room.

[0034] First, as shown in Fig. 4(b), one short-side end 14a of the set frame 14 is locked to the first fixed-side locking portion 121 and the second fixed-side locking portion 141. One short-side end 14a of the set frame 14 is simultaneously locked to the first fixed-side locking portion 121 and the second fixed-side locking portion 141 (see also Fig. 5(b)). After that, the other short-side end 14b of the set frame 14 is raised as shown by the arrow a.

[0035] When the other short-side end 14b of the set frame 14 abuts against the sliding-side locking portion 122 of the slide block 123, as the other short-side end 14b of the set frame 14 is raised, the slide block 123 is pressed toward the outside of the room, as shown in Fig. 4(c). Then, the slide block 123 slides toward the outside of the room against the biasing force of the spring 125, as shown by the arrow b.

[0036] When the other short-side end 14b of the set frame 14 overcomes the sliding side locking portion 122 of the slide block 123, the slide block 123 slides toward the inside of the room, as shown by arrow c in Figure 4 (d), and the other short-side end 14b of the set frame 14 is locked to the sliding side locking portion 122.

[0037] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4(e), in order to lock the other short-side end 14b of the set frame 14 onto the screw 142, the screw 142 of the second bracket portion 140 is rotated as shown by the arrow d.

[0038] Next, a procedure for fixing the set frame 14 to the second bracket portion 140 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Before the set frame 14 is attached to the bracket 100, as shown in Fig. 5(a), the screws 142 are in a state of protruding to the outside of the room.

[0039] The procedure for engaging one short end 14a of the set frame 14 with the first fixed side locking portion 121 and the second fixed side locking portion 141 as shown in Figure 5(b), and engaging the other short end 14b of the set frame 14 with the sliding side locking portion 122 of the slide block 123, as shown in Figures 5(c) and (d), is the same as that described above for the first bracket portion 120.

[0040] Next, the screw 142 is rotated in the direction of arrow d so as to advance toward the inside of the room, and the tip of the screw 142 is engaged with the other short-side end portion 14b of the set frame 14. In this manner, the set frame 14 is engaged with the bracket 100.

[0041] (Effects of the First Embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, the set frame 14 is supported by the first fixed side locking portion 121 of the first bracket portion 120 and the sliding side locking portion 122 of the slide block 123, and also by the screw 142 provided in the second bracket portion 140, so that the bracket 100 can be realized with improved mounting strength and capable of maintaining a stable mounting state. More specifically, even if a problem occurs in the locking state by the sliding side locking portion 122 of the slide block 123 after the set frame 14 is attached, the screw 142 complements the locking, so that the set frame 14 can continue to be supported.

[0042] In addition, since the position of the set frame 14 can be adjusted by operating the screw 142 to a position where the other short-side end 14b can be supported so that both short-side ends 14a, 14b of the set frame 14 are supported, a more stable mounting state can be maintained by adjusting the position of the screw 142.

[0043] Furthermore, by simply screwing the screw 142 into the screw hole 143 provided in the bracket body 160, it is possible to realize the bracket 100 that can improve the mounting strength and maintain a stable mounting state.

[0044] Furthermore, since the first bracket portion 120 and the second bracket portion 140 are configured adjacent to each other and integrally, by configuring the first bracket portion 120 with the attachment / detachment structure of a conventional blind mounting bracket and configuring the second bracket portion 140 with screws 142, it is possible to realize a bracket 100 that can maintain a stable attachment state by improving the attachment strength while utilizing the conventional attachment / detachment structure.

[0045] Furthermore, by using a second bracket portion 140 equipped with a screw 142 in addition to the first bracket portion 120 having the detachable structure of a conventional blind mounting bracket, it is possible to improve the mounting strength and maintain a stable mounting state while using the conventional first bracket portion 120.

[0046] Second embodiment The configuration of the bracket 200 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the bracket 200 according to the second embodiment. Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining the bracket 200. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the second bracket portion 240 is incorporated into the first bracket portion 220, and other points are similar to the first embodiment. This embodiment will be described mainly with respect to points different from the first embodiment. Components having substantially the same functional configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0047] 6 and 7, in the bracket 200, the width of the bracket body 260 is determined by the distance between the two holding portions 224. The side wall portion 260a is formed with a first fixed side locking portion 221 and a holding portion 224, similar to the side wall portion 160a of the first embodiment. On the other hand, the side wall portion 260b is formed with a second fixed side locking portion 241, similar to the side wall portion 160b of the first embodiment, and also with a holding portion 224.

[0048] The screw 242 is disposed adjacent to the sliding side locking portion 222 (second locking portion) of the slide block 223. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 7(a), the screw 242 is disposed aligned with the holding portion 224 in the short direction and overlaps with a part of the slide block 223 in the height direction. A screw hole 243 is formed in the outdoor side wall portion 260c. Other than that, the first fixed side locking portion 221 (first locking portion) and the spring 225 (urging means) can be configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0049] The procedure for attaching the set frame 14 to the bracket 200 will be described. The procedure for attaching the set frame 14 to the bracket 200 is the same as that of the first embodiment. That is, first, the short-side end 14a of the set frame 14 is engaged with the first fixed-side engaging portion 221 and the second fixed-side engaging portion 241. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7(b), the short-side end 14b of the set frame 14 is engaged with the sliding-side engaging portion 222 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and then, as shown in FIG. 7(c), the position of the screw 242 is adjusted to engage with the short-side end 14b. If the screw 242 has a large head, the screw 242 can be rotated by a finger.

[0050] (Effects of the second embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, the second bracket portion 240 is incorporated into the first bracket portion 220 of the detachable structure of a conventional blind mounting bracket, so that bracket 200 can be realized that has improved mounting strength and can maintain a stable mounting state without changing the size of the conventional blind mounting bracket.

[0052] As shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the bracket 300 is configured with a first bracket portion 320 and a second bracket portion 340 as separate bodies. In the first bracket portion 320, the width of the first bracket body 326 is configured by the distance between the two holding portions 324a, 324b. First fixed side locking portions 321a, 321b (first locking portions) are formed on both side walls 326a, 326b of the first bracket body 326. Other than that, the sliding side locking portion 322, the slide block 323, the spring 325, and the exterior side wall portion 326c can be configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0053] 8 and 9, the second bracket portion 340 has second fixed side locking portions 341a, 341b formed on both side wall portions 344a, 344b of a second bracket body 344. In addition, the configuration in which a screw hole 343 is provided in an exterior wall portion 344c and a screw 342 is screwed into the screw hole 343 can be configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0054] 9(a), the first bracket portion 320 and the second bracket portion 340 are disposed adjacent to each other. The first bracket portion 320 and the second bracket portion 340 may be disposed in contact with each other or may be disposed with a gap therebetween.

[0055] A procedure for attaching the set frame 14 to the bracket 300 will be described. When attaching the set frame 14 to the bracket 300, first, the first bracket part 320 and the second bracket part 340 are arranged adjacent to each other. Next, the one end part 14a in the short side direction of the set frame 14 is engaged with the first fixed side engaging parts 321a and 321b of the first bracket part 320 and the second fixed side engaging parts 341a and 341b of the second bracket part 340. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9(b), the other end part 14b in the short side direction of the set frame 14 is engaged with the sliding side engaging part 322 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and then, as shown in FIG. 9(c), the position of the screw 342 is adjusted to engage with the other end part 14b in the short side direction.

[0056] (Effects of the third embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, by configuring the first bracket portion 320 with the attachment / detachment structure of a conventional blind mounting bracket and configuring the second bracket portion 340 with screws 342, it is possible to realize a bracket 300 that can maintain a stable attachment state by improving the attachment strength while utilizing the conventional attachment / detachment structure.

[0057] (Fourth embodiment) The configuration of the bracket 400 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 12. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the bracket 400 of this embodiment. Fig. 11 is a view showing a state in which the locking of the set frame 14 by the cam 445 is released. Fig. 12 is a view showing a state in which the set frame 14 is locked by the cam 445. In this embodiment, the configuration of the second bracket part 440 is different from that of the first embodiment, and other points are the same as those of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the points different from the first embodiment will be mainly described. Constituent elements having substantially the same functional configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0058] In the bracket 400 of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 10, the first bracket part 420 can be configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The second bracket part 440 includes a support part having a cam 445 (rotation locking part) that can be moved by rotation to a position where a part can be locked with the other end part 14b in the short side direction of the set frame 14, an operation screw 446 (rotation operation part) that is connected to the cam 445 and can rotate the cam 445 from the outside of the bracket main body 460, and an operation screw hole 448 into which the operation screw 446 is screwed. The configuration of the second bracket part 440 that differs from that of the first embodiment will be described below.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 10, the second bracket portion 440 has a cam mounting portion 447 formed from the tip of the outdoor wall portion 460c to form a substantial L-shape. A cam 445 is disposed above the cam mounting portion 447. The cam 445 is connected to an operating screw 446 that operates the rotation of the cam 445 so as to be rotatable together with the cam 445. The operating screw 446 is screwed into an operating screw hole 448 formed in the cam mounting portion 447, and is rotated below the cam mounting portion 447. By rotating the operating screw 446, the cam 445 is switched between a state in which the locking of the set frame 14 by the cam 445 is released as shown in FIG. 11, and a state in which the set frame 14 is locked by the cam 445 as shown in FIG. 12.

[0060] The configuration of the second bracket portion 440 has been described above. The function of the second bracket portion 440 will be described below with reference to Figures 11 and 12. When the locking of the set frame 14 by the cam 445 is released, the cam 445 faces the longitudinal direction of the set frame 14, as shown in Figure 11. In this state, the cam 445 is away from the locked position A of the set frame 14, which is a position where the set frame 14 can be locked.

[0061] On the other hand, in a state in which the set frame 14 is locked by the cam 445, as shown in Fig. 12, the cam 445 faces in the short direction of the set frame 14. In this state, the cam 445 has reached the locked position A of the set frame 14.

[0062] A procedure for attaching the set frame 14 to the bracket 400 will be described. When attaching the set frame 14 to the bracket 400, first, as shown in FIG. 11, the cam 445 is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the set frame 14, and the locking of the set frame 14 by the cam 445 is released. Then, one short-side end 14a of the set frame 14 is locked to the first fixed-side locking portion 421 of the first bracket portion 420 and the second fixed-side locking portion 441 of the second bracket portion 440. After that, as shown in FIG. 11(b), the other short-side end 14b of the set frame 14 is locked to the sliding-side locking portion 422 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0063] Then, the operating screw 446 is rotated from below the bracket body 460 to rotate the cam 445 so that it faces the short side direction of the set frame 14, as shown in Fig. 12. Then, the cam 445 reaches the locked position A of the set frame 14, and the other end 14b of the set frame 14 in the short side direction is locked by the cam 445.

[0064] (Effects of the fourth embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, the operating screw 446 for rotating the cam 445 is provided below the bracket body 460 where it is easily visible, which is advantageous in terms of operability.

[0065] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such an example. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can think of various modified or altered examples within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that such examples also naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

[0066] For example, in the above first embodiment, the support portion constituted by the screw 142 and the screw hole 143 is configured to support the other short-side end portion 14b of the set frame 14, but the present invention is not limited to this example. As long as a stable mounting state can be maintained, any design can be used. For example, the support portion may be configured to support the lower portion of the blind support member. Other embodiments can be configured in a similar manner. [Explanation of symbols]
