Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a clamping and fixing structure for a curtain (screen), and more particularly to a clamping and fixing structure for a honeycomb screen. [Background technology]
[0002] Existing honeycomb screens consist of a head rail, a bottom rail, and a honeycomb screen shading section located between the head rail and the bottom rail. The honeycomb screen can be secured by manually pulling the bottom rail to pull down the honeycomb screen, or by manually pushing the head rail upward to pull up the honeycomb screen.
[0003] The above-mentioned structure has the following drawbacks: Due to the weight of the fabric in the shading section of the honeycomb screen, some parts of the fabric may not be able to fully unfold. When this happens, the fabric of the honeycomb screen is subjected to stress when swayed by the wind, causing the honeycomb screen to unfold all at once, which may result in damage to the honeycomb screen due to the tension.
[0004] The inventors of the present invention proposed a blind structure disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. M241488 and U.S. Patent No. US6966353B2. However, the blind structure is a continuous Z-shaped structure, and the fabric is clamped and fixed on only one side. The proposed fixing structure is not applicable to honeycomb screens. The structure of honeycomb screens is relatively complicated, so a new clamping and fixing structure needs to be designed to solve the problem that occurs when the honeycomb screen is deployed under its own weight. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide a clamping and fixing structure for a honeycomb screen. In this invention, the honeycomb screen fabric is clamped and fixed by using a plate frame member and an elastically deformable pressure engagement member. Therefore, this invention can prevent the honeycomb screen from being damaged by shaking in the wind. Furthermore, this invention is easy to use and can quickly fix the honeycomb screen fabric. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] Therefore, the structure of the present invention is used to clamp the honeycomb screen fabric and prevent it from falling and shaking due to its weight. The present invention comprises a frame-shaped plate frame member, and a pair of pressure engagement members arranged symmetrically on the inside center of the plate frame member, the pressure engagement members being elastically deformable. The pressure engagement members are composed of clip members for clamping the fabric and connecting pieces provided in the center of the clip members and connecting to the plate frame member, and a hollow slot portion is provided between the two clip members.
[0007] In use, the pressure engaging members are pressed so that they protrude slightly from the plate frame members, and after checking the number of sheets of fabric to be clamped, the plate frame members can be smoothly pressed into the sides of the fabric by taking advantage of the fact that the width of the slot gap is larger than the width of the adhesive part of the honeycomb screen fabric (honeycomb segments), and the lower fabric is clamped by the plate frame members, while the upper fabric is pressed down and fixed by the slightly convex clip members. By clamping the fabric between the plate frame members and the pressure engaging members of the present invention, the fabric can be pressed down without any waste within the clamping and fixing structure of the honeycomb screen by the plate frame members and the pressure engaging members.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plate frame member and the pressure engagement member are integrally molded.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the slot portion formed by the plate frame member and the pressure engagement member is in an E shape. [Effects of the Invention]
[0010] As explained above, the features, effects, and advantages of the present invention are as follows: The present invention can fix the honeycomb screen fabric using a plate frame member and an elastically deformable pressure-engagement member. The honeycomb screen fabric is clamped and fixed by the present invention, preventing the lower end of the honeycomb screen from swaying in the wind. In addition, the honeycomb screen fabric is only partially unfolded due to its own weight, preventing the fabric from being pulled and damaged. Furthermore, the present invention is easy to use and can quickly fix the honeycomb screen fabric. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the sandwiching and fixing structure 100 for a honeycomb screen of the present invention sandwiches the material B (honeycomb segments, honeycomb light-shielding unit) of a honeycomb screen A, prevents the material B from dropping or shaking due to its weight, and is used to adjust the vertical length of the honeycomb screen. The present invention comprises a frame-shaped plate frame member 1, and a pair of pressure-engaging members 2 symmetrically arranged on the inside center of the plate frame member 1, and the pressure-engaging members 2 are elastic (elastically deformable). The pressure-engaging members 2 are composed of clip members 21 for sandwiching the material B, and a connecting piece 22 provided in the center of the clip members 21 and connecting to the plate frame member 1. A hollow slot portion 3 is provided between the two clip members 21, and the width of the gap 31 in the slot portion 3 is larger than the width of the adhesive portion B1 of the honeycomb segments of the honeycomb screen.
[0013] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the plate frame member 1 and the pressure engagement member 2 of the present invention are basically an integrally molded structure (a structure molded into an integrated unit) by machine, and can be made of plastic or a strong elastic part (a part that can be elastically deformed). The slot portion 3 has an appearance of an L shape.
[0014] The structure of the present invention has been described above. Next, the method of use of the present invention and the effects and advantages of the structure will be described in detail.
[0015] As shown in Fig. 4, the pressing engagement members 2 are pressed so that they protrude slightly from the plate frame member 1, and after checking the number of sheets of fabric B to be clamped, the plate frame member 1 is smoothly pressed into the honeycomb screen A from the fabric B side, as shown in Fig. 5. Because the width of the slot gaps 31 of the slot portions 3 is larger than the width of the adhesive portions B1 of the fabric B of the honeycomb screen (the adhesive portions B1 provided between two adjacent honeycomb segments out of the multiple honeycomb segments of the fabric B), the plate frame member 1 can be smoothly pressed into the adhesive portions B1 of the fabric B.
[0016] 1, 2 and 6, the plate frame member 1 sandwiches the lower fabric B, and the upper fabric B is pressed down and fixed by a slightly convex clip member 21. The fabric B is sandwiched between the plate frame member 1 and the pressing and engaging member 2 of the present invention, and the fabric can be pressed down without any waste inside the sandwiching and fixing structure of the honeycomb screen by the plate frame member and the pressing and engaging member.
[0017] The present invention is not limited to use in a folded state. As shown in Figure 1, when the honeycomb screen A is unfolded, the honeycomb screen clamping and fixing structure 100 of the present invention is attached to the honeycomb screen A to prevent the material B from falling or swaying due to its weight. This prevents the material B from swaying in the wind, making it impossible to fix the vertical length of the honeycomb screen A, which could result in damage to the material B. Figure 2 shows the honeycomb screen A being pulled up. In this case, the material B can be securely folded and pulled up.
[0018] As shown in Fig. 7, when the size of the honeycomb screen A is large, two or more sets of honeycomb screen clamping and fixing structures 100 can be provided on the honeycomb screen A to fix the material B. In this case, the honeycomb screen A can be clamped in a balanced manner.
[0019] As described above, the structure of the present invention is not a published invention or a publicly practiced invention, and therefore meets the requirements for a patent for invention application.
[0020] Furthermore, the above content has been a description of the preferred embodiment and technical principle of the present invention, and all changes and modifications that do not depart from the technical idea of the present invention are included within the scope of the claims of this application.
