Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a view changer, and more specifically, to a view changer that not only functions as a general blind but also brings an outside view without buildings into a room while avoiding the view in front of the opposite building so as to protect privacy, but also brings in an outside view divided vertically in parallel without being reversed left and right. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, blinds are attached to the front of a window to block sunlight. They consist of long, thin plates (hereinafter referred to as "slats") connected with many cords, and the opening angle of the slats can be adjusted by moving these cords to block sunlight to the desired extent, and the slats can be raised and folded up as a whole.

[0003] However, conventional blinds constructed as described above have the problem that it is difficult to ensure the right of view to the outside from inside when they block direct sunlight.

[0004] Furthermore, although opening the slats of conventional blinds ensures the right to a view, there is a problem in that privacy is not protected by the building facing the blinds.

[0005] Therefore, there is a demand for a device that can block the view of the front of the building facing the building while allowing the outside view to enter the room. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention was made in consideration of such problems, and its primary objective is to provide a view changer that not only functions as a typical blind but also allows for privacy protection by preventing the view of the building in front of the building facing the room, while allowing for a side view of the outside without any buildings to be brought into the room.

[0007] The second object of the present invention is to provide a view changer that double-reflects the external view, allowing the external view to be captured in a form that is divided vertically in parallel without being reversed left and right. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] According to the features for achieving the above-mentioned object, the first invention relates to a view changer, and for this purpose, it comprises a frame that can be attached and detached to a window so that it can be installed selectively in reverse left and right, a plurality of indoor reflectors arranged in parallel in a vertical direction between the upper and lower frames of the frame, and a plurality of outdoor reflectors that are arranged on the rear surface of each indoor reflector and reflect the captured external view to the adjacent indoor reflector, and the outdoor reflectors are configured so that the angle of reflection of the external view can be adjusted based on the angle of the indoor reflector, and the indoor reflectors function to avoid forward visibility and double-reflect the side external view reflected by the outdoor reflector so that the external view can be captured in a vertically divided, parallel form without being reversed left and right.

[0009] The second invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, each of the indoor reflectors is arranged at an angle of 45° relative to the interior direction of the building, and the spacing between each of the indoor reflectors is such that the interior edge in the width direction is positioned on a line perpendicular to the exterior edge of the adjacent indoor reflector, and the forward view is blocked.

[0010] The third invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, each of the outdoor reflecting plates has a first rotating shaft that is connected to the upper frame so that the external view reflection angle can be adjusted, and each of the indoor reflecting plates has a second rotating shaft that is axially mounted via a bearing on the lower part of the first rotating shaft and is connected to the lower frame.

[0011] A fourth invention is characterized in that in the first invention, a pleated sheet is joined between the interior reflector and the exterior reflector.

[0012] The fifth invention is characterized in that, in the third invention, a first driven pulley is mounted on the upper part of the first rotating shaft, and a first adjustment lever having a worm gear equipped with a first driving pulley that can rotate the first driven pulley via a belt is connected to the upper frame of the frame so as to be exposed inside the room.

[0013] The sixth invention is characterized in that, in the third invention, a second driven pulley is mounted on the lower part of the second rotating shaft, and a second adjustment lever having a worm gear equipped with a second driving pulley that can rotate the second driven pulley via a belt is connected to the lower frame of the frame so as to be exposed inside the room. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] The view changer of the present invention not only functions as a typical blind, but also has the effect of being able to bring a side view of the outside without buildings into the room while avoiding the view forward of the opposite building, thereby protecting privacy.

[0015] In addition, the external view is double-reflected, and the external view is taken in in a form divided into parallel sections in the vertical direction without being reversed left and right, which has the effect of enhancing the aesthetic sense.

[0016] In addition, since it also functions as a blind, there is an advantage that it can be easily replaced with a general blind and used. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0023] The view changer according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the present invention relates to a view changer 100 that not only functions as a typical blind but also brings an outside view without buildings into the room while avoiding the view ahead of the opposite building, so as to protect privacy, but also brings in the outside view in a form that is divided vertically in parallel without being reversed left and right.

[0026] The view changer 100 of the present invention is roughly composed of three parts, namely, a frame 10, an indoor reflector 20 and an outdoor reflector 30 which are coupled to the frame 10.

[0027] The frame 10 is detachably fitted to a window of a building, and as shown in Figs. 2(a) and 2(b), it can be configured to be easily installed by selectively reversing the left and right sides.

[0028] Here, the size of the frame 10 may vary depending on the area of ​​the window of the building.

[0029] The interior reflectors 20 are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 of the frame 10, thereby functioning to take in the outside view in a form divided in parallel in the vertical direction.

[0030] Each of the interior reflectors 20 is inclined at an angle of 45° relative to the interior direction of the building.

[0031] In this case, the spacing between the interior reflectors 20 can be arranged so that the widthwise interior edge of the interior reflector 20 is positioned perpendicular to the exterior edge of the adjacent interior reflector 20, blocking the forward visibility, as shown in Figure 4.

[0032] Here, if the inclination angle of each indoor reflector 20 is 45° or less, it is not preferable because the angle of capture of the external side view becomes small and visibility becomes poor, and if it is 45° or more, it is not preferable because the forward view is not blocked.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 5(a), the outdoor reflector 30 is disposed on the rear surface of each indoor reflector 20 and serves to reflect the outside view taken in to the adjacent indoor reflector 20.

[0034] As a result, the indoor reflector 20 can be provided with the function of doubling the external view reflected by the outdoor reflector 30, as shown in Figure 6, so that the external view can be taken in in a form divided vertically in parallel without being reversed left and right.

[0035] In addition, as shown in Figure 5(b), the outdoor reflector 30 is configured so that the external view reflection angle can be adjusted based on the angle of the indoor reflector 20, and for this purpose, the outdoor reflector 30 has a structure including a first rotation axis 31 that is integrally connected thereto.

[0036] Here, the first rotation shaft 31 integrally connected to each outdoor reflector 30 is configured to be half the height of the outdoor reflector and rotatably connected to the upper frame 11 so that the angle can be adjusted.

[0037] At this time, a first driven pulley 311 may be configured to be mounted on the upper part of the first rotary shaft 31 so as to receive the rotational force.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper frame 11 of the frame 10 is provided with a first adjusting lever 112 that has a worm gear WG that engages with a first driving pulley 111 connected to a belt (BT) that can simultaneously rotate the first driven pulleys 311 mounted on the respective first rotating shafts 31. The first adjusting lever 112 is connected to the upper frame 11 of the frame 10 so as to be exposed to the interior.

[0039] This allows the user to precisely adjust the angle of the exterior reflector 30 by adjusting the first adjustment lever 112 indoors.

[0040] In the above, the outdoor reflecting plate 30 is adjusted within a range of 44° to 0° via the first rotation shaft 31, and functions to reflect the outside side view to the indoor reflecting plate 20.

[0041] Here, when the angle of the outdoor reflector 30 is 0°, it can function as a general blind to block general sunlight.

[0042] In addition, when the outdoor reflecting plate 30 is used to reflect the outside view, the angle can be adjusted within the range of 44° to 20°.

[0043] In the above, if the reflection angle of the exterior reflector 30 is 20° or less, the angle of capture of the outside view reflected by the interior reflector 20 becomes small, which is undesirable because the outside view cannot be seen clearly.

[0044] On the other hand, the indoor reflector 20 is always provided at an angle of 45°, but can be adjusted so that the reflection angle is 45° centered on the viewpoint of the indoor observer.

[0045] For this reason, each of the indoor reflectors 20 has a second rotation axis 21 coaxially connected to the first rotation axis 31, as shown in (b) of Figure 5, and the second rotation axis 21 is connected to the lower frame 12 at half the height of the indoor reflector 20.

[0046] At this time, the second rotary shaft 21 is axially mounted on the first rotary shaft 31 via a bearing B, and is configured so as not to be subjected to rotational interference between the second rotary shaft 21 and the first rotary shaft 31.

[0047] In addition, a second adjusting lever 122 having a worm gear WG that engages with a second driving pulley 121 connected to a belt BT that can simultaneously rotate the second driven pulleys 211 mounted on the exterior of each second rotating shaft 21 can be connected to the lower frame 12 of the frame 10 so as to be exposed to the interior.

[0048] Meanwhile, a pleated sheet 40 may be coupled between the indoor reflector 20 and the outdoor reflector 30 .

[0049] The pleated sheet 40 fills the gap between the indoor reflector 20 and the outdoor reflector 30 for finishing, and is structured to contract or expand in accordance with changes in the angle of the outdoor reflector 30.

[0050] The following is a brief description of how to use the view changer of the present invention. The frame 10 of the view changer 100 of the present invention is fitted to a window of a building. In this case, the user can selectively install the camera so that the left and right directions are reversed so that the user can enjoy the external view to the right or left depending on the position of the building facing the camera.

[0051] In this state, the indoor reflector 20 is set at 45° relative to the interior direction of the building, so the user can rotate the first adjustment lever 112 as shown in (a) of Figure 7 to adjust the reflection angle of the outdoor reflector 30 as follows.

[0052] First, when the first adjusting lever 112 is rotated, the worm W formed on the first adjusting lever 112 rotates, and the worm gear WG meshing with the worm W rotates.

[0053] At this time, the first driving pulley 111, which is coaxially connected to the worm gear WG and rotates, rotates to rotate the first driven pulley 311 attached to the first rotating shaft 31 of the outdoor reflector 30 via the belt BT, thereby adjusting the reflection angle of the outdoor reflector 30.

[0054] Also, the user can adjust the reflection angle of the indoor reflector 20 to 45°, centering on the viewpoint of an indoor observer sitting on a sofa, which is an indoor piece of furniture.

[0055] This is possible by a second adjusting lever 122 that controls a second driven pulley 211 mounted on the second rotating shaft 21 of the interior reflector 20, as shown in FIG. 7(b).

[0056] Meanwhile, the view changer 100 of the present invention can be used as a general blind by setting the reflection angle between the outdoor reflector 30 or the indoor reflector 20 and the outdoor reflector 30 to 0° along the frame 10.

[0057] The embodiments described in this specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention, so it should be understood that there may be various equivalents and modifications that can replace them at the time of this application.
