Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] On the other hand, there is a problem that it may be difficult for an operator to recognize the locked state of the locking portion with respect to the head box from the operator's position, and a mounting failure may occur when attaching the blind to the bracket.

[0007] Specifically, even though the locking portion was in a semi-locked state where it was not fully locked to the head box, there was a possibility that the operator would inadvertently release their hand and the blind would drop. Also, if the head box was supported in a semi-locked state, there was a possibility that it would drop in the future even if it did not drop during operation. Therefore, a mounting bracket for a blind that is less likely to have a mounting defect when attaching the blind to the bracket has been desired.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a mounting bracket for a blind that is less likely to have a mounting defect when attaching the blind to the bracket.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] To achieve the above object, a mounting bracket for a blind according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a bracket body fixed to a fixing surface, a slide block slidably held by the bracket body, and biasing means for biasing the slide block to one side in the slide direction. The bracket body has a first locking portion at one end in the slide direction, the slide block has a second locking portion at the other end in the slide direction, and the mounting bracket for a blind can support both ends in the short side direction of the blind support member by the first locking portion, the second locking portion, and the biasing force of the biasing means. The slide block or the bracket body has a discriminating means configured to change a state that is visually or tactilely recognized as the slide block slides, and capable of discriminating the locking state of the blind support member.

[0010] According to this configuration, since the locking state of the blind support member can be discriminated by the recognition of the discriminating means (confirmation by visual recognition or contact with a finger, etc.), it is possible to prevent a mounting defect from occurring when attaching the blind to the bracket.

[0011] The slide block may have an operation part that can be operated in a direction against the biasing force of the biasing means. In this case, the determination means is the operation part, and the locking state may be determinable based on a change in the positional relationship of the end position in the sliding direction of the operation part with respect to the bracket main body as the slide block slides.

[0012] According to this configuration, the locking state of the blind support member can be easily determined by recognizing (confirming by visual recognition or contact with a finger or the like) the change in the end position of the operation part with respect to the bracket main body.

[0013] The operation part may be provided such that the end position in the sliding direction thereof does not protrude from the bracket main body in the sliding direction in a first state in which the blind support member is locked and supported by both the first locking part and the second locking part, and protrudes from the bracket main body in the sliding direction in a second state in which the blind support member is not locked by either the first locking part or the second locking part.

[0014] According to this configuration, since the locking state of the blind support member can be determined based on whether or not the end position of the operation part protrudes from the bracket main body, the locking state can be easily and surely determined.

[0015] The operation part may be provided such that the end position in the sliding direction thereof is substantially the same as the end position of the bracket main body in the first state, and is buried in the bracket main body in a third state in which the blind support member is locked and supported semi - hanging by either the first locking part or the second locking part.

[0016] According to this configuration, it is also possible to easily and surely determine that the blind support member is locked in a semi - hanging state, so that the effect of suppressing installation defects can be further improved.

[0017] The slide block may have a colored portion on a part of its side surface. In this case, the bracket main body has an opening on a part of its side surface through which the colored portion can be visually recognized, and the discrimination means is the colored portion, and the locking state may be discriminable based on a change in the exposure amount of the colored portion from the opening as the slide block slides.

[0018] According to this configuration, the locking state of the blind support member can be discriminated by visual recognition from the side surface side of the bracket.

[0019] The slide block may have an operation portion formed of a transparent material that can be operated in a direction against the biasing force of the biasing means. In this case, the bracket main body has a colored member that can be visually recognized through the operation portion as the slide block slides in a direction against the biasing force, and the discrimination means is the colored member, and the locking state may be discriminable based on a change in the transmission amount of the colored member through the operation portion as the slide block slides.

[0020] Further, the slide block may have an operation portion that can be operated in a direction against the biasing force of the biasing means. In this case, the bracket main body has a colored portion that is exposed and can be visually recognized as the slide block slides in a direction against the biasing force, and the discrimination means is the colored portion, and the locking state may be discriminable based on a change in the exposure amount of the colored portion as the slide block slides.

[0021] According to these configurations, the locking state of the blind support member can be easily and surely discriminated by visual recognition of color. Further, the discrimination means can be easily retrofitted to an existing bracket.

Advantages of the Invention

[0022] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mounting bracket for a blind in which mounting defects are less likely to occur when the blind is mounted on the bracket. However, the effects are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0025] <First Embodiment> First, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0026] [Configuration of Mounting Bracket for Blind] FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are a side view and a plan view of the mounting state of the mounting bracket for a blind according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a side view (Fig. (a) in the same figure), a plan view (Fig. (b) in the same figure), and a bottom-side perspective view (Fig. (c) in the same figure) of the non-mounting state of the mounting bracket for a blind. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the mounting bracket for a blind, and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the slide block of the mounting bracket for a blind. Further, FIG. 6 is a view showing the state of the operation part of the mounting bracket for a blind when not in operation (Fig. (a) in the same figure) and when under a pressing operation (Fig. (b) in the same figure) in a sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 3.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting bracket 100 for a blind (hereinafter simply referred to as the bracket 100) is a mounting member for fixing the support member S of the blind to a fixed surface such as the ceiling surface C of a window frame inside a building.

[0028] The support member S is, for example, a set frame of a roll screen or a head box of a Venetian blind, a pleated screen, or a honeycomb screen, and supports a shielding material (screen or slat; not shown) of the blind. The support member S has a horizontally long flat plate shape or a horizontally long rectangular parallelepiped shape, and its upper surface is fixed to a ceiling surface C or the like via the bracket 100 with screws or the like.

[0029] The bracket 100 has a bracket body 1 fixed to the ceiling surface C and a slide block 2 slidably held by the bracket body 1.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1, the slide block 2 is slidably attached in the front (indoor side) - rear (outdoor side) direction (Z direction in the same figure) of the blind when the bracket 100 is attached to the ceiling surface C.

[0031] The bracket body 1 has a first locking portion 11 at the indoor - side end, and the slide block 2 has a second locking portion 22 at the outdoor - side end. Further, between the bracket body 1 and the slide block 2 on the outdoor side of the bracket 100, biasing means 3 (see FIG. 6) for biasing the slide block 2 in the indoor - side direction is provided. Thereby, the bracket 100 can support both end portions in the short - hand direction (Z direction) of the support member S of the blind by the first locking portion 11, the second locking portion 22, and the biasing force of the biasing means 3.

[0032] The bracket body 1 is formed of, for example, a metal press member. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the bracket body 1 has a plurality (for example, three) of mounting holes 14 on its top surface through which screws for attaching the bracket 100 to the ceiling surface C are inserted.

[0033] Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIG. 6, the bracket body 1 has an opening 13 on its side surface, and as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 6, it has a holding portion 15 bent in an L - shaped cross - section from the vicinity of the opening 13 on the side surface to the bottom surface side.

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the slide block 2 according to the present embodiment is composed of a first component member 2a and a second component member 2b, and both are integrally slidable.

[0035] The first component member 2a is located on the indoor side in the mounted state on the ceiling surface C, and most of it is configured as an operation portion 21 that can be pressed in a direction against the biasing force of the biasing means 3. As will be described later, as the slide block 2 slides, the recognition state (positional relationship) of the end portion in the slide direction (Z direction) of the operation portion 21 changes, and by recognizing this change, it functions as a discrimination means for discriminating the locking state of the support member S to the bracket 100. Here, the recognition includes visual recognition (visual confirmation) and tactile recognition (confirmation by contact with a part of the body such as a finger).

[0036] The second component member 2b is located on the outdoor side in the mounted state on the ceiling surface C, and has the second locking portion 22 at its outdoor side end.

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first component member 2a has claw portions 24 at both ends in the X direction at its outdoor side end in the Z direction, and the second component member 2b has recesses 25 that engage with the claw portions 24 at both ends in the X direction at its indoor side end in the Z direction. By engaging the claw portions 24 and the recesses 25, the first component member 2a and the second component member 2b are integrally formed.

[0038] The first component member 2a and the second component member 2b are both formed of a resin-based material such as polycarbonate or polyacetal, for example. However, since the first component member 2a functions as the discrimination means, it may be colored in a color that is easy for the user to visually recognize. Also, the first component member 2a may be transparent as long as it can be discriminated in appearance so that there is no aesthetic incongruity with the support member S. The second component member 2b may be translucent or transparent, and may be colored white or other colors. Also, the second component member 2b may be formed of a material different from that of the first component member 2a (for example, metal or glass fiber reinforced resin).

[0039] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the biasing means 3 includes a biasing member 31 such as a coil spring, a recess 32 formed at the outdoor-side end of the second component member 2b of the slide block 2, and a protrusion 33 formed on the inner surface of the outdoor-side end of the bracket body 1. One end side of the biasing member 31 is accommodated in the recess 32, and the other end side is engaged with the protrusion 33.

[0040] Further, the second component member 2b of the slide block 2 has a claw portion 23 on its side surface. The slide block 2 is slidably inserted into the bracket body 1 from the first locking portion 11 side in a state where the first component member 2a and the second component member 2b are engaged and integrated. The claw portion 23 is engaged with the opening 13 of the bracket body 1, and its bottom surface is held by the holding portion 15 of the bracket body 1.

[0041] As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the slide block 2 is slidable with respect to the bracket body 1 against the biasing force of the biasing means 3 within the range in which the claw portion 23 moves within the opening 13 by the pressing operation of the operation portion 21 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 6(b).

[0042] In other words, as shown in FIG. 6, the slide block 2 is slidable within the range from the state of protruding from the front surface of the bracket body 1 (FIG. 6(a): the claw portion 23 is locked to the indoor-side end of the opening 13) to the state of being buried in the bracket body 1 (FIG. 6(b): the claw portion 23 is locked to the outdoor-side end of the opening 13).

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the first state where the support member S is locked and supported by both the first locking portion 11 and the second locking portion 22 at the end position in the sliding direction (Z direction) of the operation portion 21, the operation portion 21 does not protrude in the sliding direction (Z direction) from the bracket body 1 and is provided so as to be flush with the indoor-side end surface of the bracket body 1.

[0044] On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6(a), in the second state where the support member S is not locked to either the first locking portion 11 or the second locking portion 22, the operation portion 21 is provided at a position protruding in the sliding direction (Z direction) from the bracket body 1.

[0045] Therefore, in the present embodiment, the locked state of the support member S (whether it is normally attached) can be determined by the recognition of the operation unit 21 (confirmation by visual recognition or contact with a finger or the like).

[0046] [Operation during attachment of support member] Next, the operation during the attachment of the support member S to the bracket 100 configured as described above will be described.

[0047] FIG. 7 is a view showing the attachment procedure of the support member S to the bracket 100 in a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 3.

[0048] When attaching the support member S to the bracket 100 attached to the ceiling surface C as shown in FIG. 7(a), first, as shown in FIG. 7(b), with the indoor-side end of the support member S locked to the first locking portion 11 of the bracket main body 1, the outdoor-side end of the support member S is rotated in the direction of the arrow in the figure (counterclockwise direction) with the first locking portion 11 as a fulcrum. In this state, the operation unit 21 protrudes from the indoor-side end of the bracket main body 1.

[0049] Then, when the outdoor-side end of the support member S abuts against the second locking portion 22 of the second component member 2b due to the above rotation, the support member S is further rotated in the abutted state. Then, the slide block 2 is pressed in the direction of the arrow in the figure (Z direction) against the biasing force of the biasing member 31.

[0050] When the support member S is further rotated, the slide block 2 is further pressed, and as shown in FIG. 7(c), the outdoor-side end of the support member S rides onto the second locking portion 22. In this state, the operation unit 21 is buried in the bracket main body 1.

[0051] Finally, as shown in Fig. (d), when the outdoor end of the support member S completely rides up on the second locking portion 22, the slide block 2 slides to the side opposite to the pressing direction by the biasing force of the biasing member 31, returns to a position substantially flush with the indoor end of the bracket body 1, the outdoor end of the support member S is locked to the second locking portion 22, and the attachment is completed.

[0052] Thereby, as shown in Fig. (d), by recognizing (confirming by visual recognition or contact with a finger or the like) that the operation portion 21 is in a state substantially flush with the bracket body 1, it can be determined that the support member S is normally attached to the bracket 100.

[0053] Also, in the case of a semi - engaged state (the third state) as shown in Fig. (c), that is, the support member S is locked to the first locking portion 11 but not (completely) locked to the second locking portion 22 (or the support member S is locked to the second locking portion 22 but not locked to the first locking portion 11), since the operation portion 21 is buried in the bracket body 1, by recognizing (confirming by visual recognition or contact with a finger or the like) the buried state of the operation portion 21, the semi - engaged (not normally attached) state can be determined.

[0054] When removing the support member S from the bracket 100, when the operation portion 21 is pressed in the Z direction, the slide block 2 slides in the same manner as above against the biasing force of the biasing member 31, the outdoor end of the support member S moves away from the second locking portion 22, and a state where it is completely disengaged from the second locking portion 22 is reached. Thereby, by the biasing force of the biasing member 31, the slide block 2 returns to the original position on the left side of the figure, and by rotating the outdoor end of the support member S clockwise with the indoor end as a fulcrum, the support member S can be removed from the first locking portion 11.

[0055] As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the locking state of the support member S of the blind can be determined by the recognition of the determination means (operation unit 21) (confirmation by visual recognition or contact with a finger or the like), it is possible to prevent the occurrence of poor attachment when attaching the blind to the bracket 100, and it is possible to avoid the risk of the blind falling or the like.

[0056] <Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment and subsequent embodiments, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description will be omitted or simplified.

[0057] FIG. 8 is a plan side cross-sectional view (FIG. 8(a)) and a side view (FIG. 8(b)) of the attachment state of the support member S to the bracket 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 9 is a plan side cross-sectional view (FIG. 9(a)) and a side view (FIG. 9(b)) of the non-attachment state of the support member S of the bracket 100 according to the present embodiment.

[0058] As shown in both figures, in the present embodiment, the slide block 2 has a colored portion 26 with a color different from the color of other portions of the slide block 2 at a position on its side surface corresponding to the opening 13 of the bracket main body 1.

[0059] For example, two rectangular colored portions 26 are provided sandwiching the claw portion 23, but the shape and number are not limited to this. The color of the colored portion 26 is, for example, red, but is not limited to this. The coloring method may be by painting or by attaching a seal of the color.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 8, in a state where the support member S is normally attached to the bracket 100, two colored portions 26 are evenly exposed at both ends of the opening 13.

[0061] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the support member is not attached to the bracket 100, only one of the two colored portions 26 on the outdoor side is exposed on the right side of the opening 13.

[0062] Thus, according to the present embodiment, by visually recognizing the change in the exposure amount of the colored portion 26 from the opening 13 accompanying the sliding of the slide block 2 from the side surface side of the bracket 100, the locked state of the support member S can be easily and surely determined.

[0063] Note that the colored portion 26 of the present embodiment is provided in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment as shown in both figures, but may be provided separately from the configuration of the first embodiment (in a configuration where the operation unit 21 does not function as a determination means).

[0064] <Third Embodiment> Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 is a bottom-side perspective view of the bracket 100 according to the present embodiment. FIGS. 11 and 12 are a bottom view and a front view showing the normal attachment state (both figures (a)) and the abnormal attachment state (half-hanging state) (both figures (b)) of the bracket 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C of FIG. 11.

[0065] As shown in these figures, in the present embodiment, the operation unit 21 is formed of a transparent material, and a colored member 16 as a determination means is provided, for example, in the vicinity of the operation unit 21 on the inner surface of the bracket main body 1. The colored member 16 is colored in a color different from that of the bracket main body 1 and the slide block 2 (for example, red), and is an elastic material formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and two are provided at both ends in the X direction, but the color, shape, material, and number are not limited to these.

[0066] Note that, unlike the first and second embodiments, in the present embodiment, the slide block 2 is designed to be substantially flush with the indoor-side end of the bracket main body 1 in the normally attached state and the non-attached state, and to be buried in the bracket main body 1 in the half-hanging state.

[0067] As shown in FIGS. 11(a) and 12(a), in the state where the support member S is normally attached to the bracket 100 and the non-attached state, the colored member 16 does not pass through (or hardly passes through) the operation unit 21.

[0068] On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11(b) and 12(b), when the slide block 2 slides to the outdoor side and the support member S is in a semi-engaged state with the second locking portion 22 (or the first locking portion 11) (the state where the operation portion 21 remains buried), the distance between the operation portion 21, which is a transparent material, and the colored member 16 becomes smaller, so that the colored member 16 is seen through the operation portion 21 (FIG. 12(b)).

[0069] Thus, in the present embodiment, by changing the amount of transmission of the colored member 16 through the operation portion 21 accompanying the sliding of the slide block 2, the locking state of the support member S to the bracket 100 can be easily and surely determined. Further, the colored member 16 as a discrimination means can be easily retrofitted to an existing bracket.

[0070] In the present embodiment, instead of forming the operation portion 21 of a transparent material, one or a plurality of through holes may be provided in the operation portion 21 in the sliding direction (Z direction) in which the colored member 16 can be visually recognized in the semi-engaged state. In this case, the operation portion 21 does not have to be formed of a transparent material.

[0071] <Fourth Embodiment> Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 14 is a bottom-side perspective view showing the bracket main body 1 of the bracket 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 15 is a bottom-side perspective view showing the normal mounting state (FIG. (a)) and the abnormal mounting state (semi-engaged state) (FIG. (b)) of the bracket 100 according to the present embodiment.

[0072] As shown in both figures, in the present embodiment, for example, three rectangular colored portions 17 (one inner side surface is not shown) are provided at the indoor-side ends (positions corresponding to the operation portion 21) of the inner top surface and both inner side surfaces of the bracket main body 1. The color is, for example, red as in the second and third embodiments, but is not limited thereto. Similarly, the coloring method may be by painting or by attaching a seal of the color. Further, the colored portion 17 may be provided only on one of the inner top surface and the inner side surface, or one colored portion 17 may be provided across the inner top surface and the inner side surface.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 15(a), in the state where the support member S is normally attached to the bracket 100 and in the non-attached state, the colored portion 17 is hidden by the operation portion 21 and is not exposed.

[0074] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15(b), when the slide block 2 slides to the outdoor side and the support member S is in a semi-engaged state with the second locking portion 22 (or the first locking portion 11) (the state where the operation portion 21 remains buried), the colored portion 17 is exposed and visible from below or the side of the bracket main body 1.

[0075] Thus, in this embodiment, by the change in the exposure amount of the colored portion 17 accompanying the sliding of the slide block 2, the locking state of the support member S to the bracket 100 can be easily and surely determined. Also in this embodiment, the colored portion 17 as the discriminating means can be easily retrofitted to an existing bracket.

[0076] <Modification> The present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present technology.

[0077] In the above-described first, second, and fourth embodiments, in the state where the support member S is normally attached to the bracket 100, the end of the bracket main body 1 and the end of the operation portion 21 are substantially flush, the operation portion 21 is buried in the bracket main body 1 in the semi-engaged state, and the operation portion 21 protrudes from the bracket main body 1 in the non-attached state. However, the protruding and burying modes of the operation portion 21 in each state are not limited to this. For example, in the state where the support member S is normally attached to the bracket 100 and in the non-attached state, the operation portion 21 may protrude from the bracket main body 1, and in the semi-engaged state, the operation portion 21 may be flush with the end of the bracket main body 1 or buried in the bracket main body 1.

[0078] In each of the above-described embodiments, the slide block 2 is configured by engaging the first component member 2a and the second component member 2b. However, the slide block 2 may be configured by a single member or may be configured by three or more members.

[0079] In the present invention, the discrimination means capable of discriminating the locked state of the support member S is not limited to those shown in the above-described embodiments, and may be provided at any position of the bracket body 1 or the slide block 2, and may be configured such that the state visually recognized changes as the slide block 2 slides.
