Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a connecting member for vertical blinds having a hook member and a curtain / vertical blind using the same, more specifically to a connecting member for vertical blinds having a hook member, which is configured to facilitate installation and use of the curtain / vertical blind by including a connecting member having fastening holes on the upper side of a slat where a transparent part and a light-blocking part are arranged crosswise, and having hook members protruding to be engaged with the fastening holes. [Background technology]

[0002] Curtains and vertical blinds have a very wide market potential because they can block out sunlight due to temperature changes in the summer, while also being able to adjust the amount of light that passes through at a desired angle and direction, and can also adjust the amount of direct sunlight to prevent wind strength and keep warm in the winter.

[0003] The Vertical is a curtain-type vertical adjustment system that can move left and right along the adjustment rail at the top, allowing it to be folded and unfolded on one or both sides, and it is configured with a fixed ring that can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing it to adjust the light blocking and light transmission functions.

[0004] In addition, vertical blinds with curtain functions are composed of a number of blind sets, each of which includes a transparent portion having a certain size and a light-blocking portion disposed on both sides of the transparent portion.

[0005] Furthermore, when conventional curtains and vertical blinds are installed on a rail attached to the ceiling using connectors, two shading sections are fixed to one connector, and the blinds are then operated after being inserted into the rail. However, when the two shading sections are fixed to one connector, the two shading sections are incorrectly fixed, causing changes in shape. For example, if one of the two shading sections is fixed in an incorrect position, perfect shading cannot be achieved or the product shape is not neat, resulting in reduced marketability.

[0006] In particular, when attempting to install DIY vertical blinds, consumers purchase the vertical blinds and clips separately and install them themselves. If an inexperienced consumer fixes the clips to the shading part of the blinds improperly, the shading may not be achieved perfectly or the product may not be installed neatly, greatly reducing its marketability.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for the development of a curtain / blind that simplifies the installation process of a vertical blind with curtain function by having fastening holes at the upper ends of the slats and connecting members with hook members at both ends to which the fastening holes can be engaged, thereby enabling the vertical blind to be easily installed without compromising its marketability.

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1908979 [Patent Document 2] Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1160254 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] Therefore, the present invention has been proposed to solve the problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a connecting member for vertical blinds with hook members, which includes a slat with a fastening hole drilled on the upper side of the shading part and a connecting member having a hook-shaped member that protrudes from the main body and engages with the fastening hole, and the connecting member is configured to hang adjacent slats on both sides or one side, thereby simplifying the installation process of vertical slats and ultimately not reducing marketability, and a curtain / vertical blind using the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a connecting member comprising: a mounting port connected to a runner arranged continuously in the internal space of a rail connected to a ceiling; a main body disposed below the mounting port; and a hook member protruding from the main body.

[0011] In addition, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention proposes a curtain / vertical blind, characterized by including a connecting member and a slat attached to the connecting member, which has a transparent portion and a light-blocking portion arranged on both sides of the transparent portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The vertical blind connecting member with hook members according to the present invention and the curtain / vertical blind using the same include a slat with a fastening hole drilled above the shading portion and a connecting member having a hook-shaped member protruding from one or both sides of the main body and engaging with the fastening hole. Therefore, the slats are leveled simply by fastening the fastening holes to the hook members, and the connecting member and vertical blind according to the present invention can be installed neatly. This simplifies the installation process of the curtain / vertical blind, making it easy for even less skilled users to install.

[0013] In addition, the connecting members are arranged so that adjacent slats can be hung on the hook members on both sides or one side of the main body, and the slats are fastened to the connecting members in such a way that the transparent parts are bent into a semicircular arc and the shading parts face each other, thereby providing close contact between the shading parts, which has the effect of easily realizing the shading function.

[0014] In addition, the main body is configured so that the mounting port is positioned at the center of gravity where the main body can be kept horizontal when the slats are hung, thereby achieving a precise center of gravity of the main body and making it vertical, thereby preventing a decline in marketability.

[0017]

[0023] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The following detailed description is provided to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the methods, devices, and / or systems described herein. However, this is for illustrative purposes only, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0024] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] 1 is a diagram showing the overall structure of a vertical blind connecting member having a hook member according to the present invention and a curtain / vertical blind using the same. As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting member may include a connecting member 100 and a slat 200.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 1, the connecting member 100 is fixed to a number of runners 11 arranged in series in the internal space of a rail 10 connected to the ceiling, and can be configured to hang adjacent slats 200 on both sides. Alternatively, the connecting member 100 can be configured to hang all of the adjacent slats 200 on one side of the connecting member 100.

[0020] Therefore, the connecting member 100 may include a mounting hole 120 that is connected to the runner 11, a main body 110 that is positioned below the mounting hole 120, and hook-shaped hook members 130 that protrude from both sides of the main body 110 corresponding to the fastening holes 230 of the slats 200 and are adapted to engage with the fastening holes 230.

[0021] 2(a) is a first structural view showing the configuration of a slat 200 according to the present invention. According to the first embodiment of the slat 200, a light-shielding portion 220 may be located on both the left and right ends of a transparent portion 210. Fastening holes 230 of the slat 200 are provided on the left and right upper portions of the light-shielding portion 220, respectively, and may correspond to hook members 130 of a connecting member 100, which will be described later.

[0022] The fastening holes 230 may have various shapes, and as shown in Fig. 2(a), in one embodiment of the slat 200, two circular fastening holes 231, 232 may be provided in the shading portion, spaced apart by a predetermined distance. Also, each fastening hole 231, 232 may have an eyelet around it to protect the slat 200 from the hook member 130 inserted into the fastening holes 231, 232.

[0023] 2(b) is a second configuration diagram showing the configuration of a slat 200 according to the present invention. According to the second embodiment of the slat 200, the slat 200 can be fastened to the connecting member 100 (described later) through fastening holes 231 and 232 in a shape in which the transparent portion 210 is bent in a semicircular arc and the light-shielding portion 220 faces each other, i.e., in a "U" shape.

[0024] Specifically, the slat 200 is a unit having a light-shielding portion 220 on both sides and a transparent portion 210 at the center, and the transparent portion 210 is bent into a semicircular arc so that it can be hung on the connecting member and placed inside the room.

[0025] Therefore, the slat 200 allows the angle of the transparent portion 210 and the shading portion 220 to be controlled, allowing the user to selectively use the shading function of the blinds.

[0026] FIG. 3(a) is a third structural view showing the configuration of a slat 200 according to the present invention. According to a third embodiment of the slat 200, in the first structural view shown in FIG. 2(a), the fastening hole 230 may be provided in an oval shape as a long hole formed in the upper part of the light-shielding portion 220. In this case, the fastening hole 230 may also be provided with an eyelet 240 around its periphery to protect the slat 200 from the hook member 130 inserted into the fastening holes 231 and 232. In this case, the fastening hole 230 may include a first fastening hole 231 adjacent to the transparent portion 210 and a second fastening hole 232 spaced apart from the first fastening hole 231.

[0027] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a film may be attached to a certain portion of the shading part 220 to protect the fabric from damage. In particular, the slats may be damaged due to friction between the slats and the hook members, and to prevent this, the film may be heat-bonded to the edges of the fastening holes 230 of the shading part. Instead of the above-mentioned eyelets 240, a film may be attached around the fastening holes 230. The film may also be inserted into the upper part of the fabric to form a structure that allows the slats to withstand friction.

[0028] Therefore, the fastening holes 230 have a first fastening hole 231 and a second fastening hole 232 arranged on the upper side of the light-shielding part 220, and are hooked onto the first hook 131 and the second hook 132 of the connecting member 100, and the first fastening hole 231 is hooked onto the first hook 131 of the connecting member 100, and the second fastening hole 232 is hooked onto the second hook 132 of the connecting member 100.

[0029] Fig. 3(b) is a fourth structural view showing the configuration of a slat 200 according to the present invention. According to the fourth embodiment of the slat 200, the fastening holes 230 formed in the upper part of the light-shielding part 200 in the second structural view shown in Fig. 2(b) may be formed in the shape of an elongated oval hole. In this case, eyelets 240 are also provided around the periphery to protect the slat 200 when the hook members 130 are inserted into the fastening holes 231, 232.

[0030] 4(a) is a first structural diagram showing the configuration of a connecting member according to the present invention. According to the first embodiment of the connecting member 100, the main body 110 is a plate-like body with a rectangular cross section and a long horizontal length that constitutes the exterior of the connecting member 100. The main body 110 can be configured to have one mounting opening 120 on the top side and hook members 130 protruding from both side surfaces.

[0031] The hook member 130 may include a pair of first hooks 131 correspondingly arranged on both sides of the main body 110 so as to engage with the first fastening holes 231 described below, and a pair of second hooks 132 arranged on both sides of the main body 110 at a predetermined distance from the first hooks 131 so as to engage with the second fastening holes 232 described below.

[0032] In this case, the first fastening hole 231 is a fastening hole adjacent to the transparent portion 210 among the fastening holes 230 drilled in the upper part of the shading portion 220 of the slat 200, and the second fastening hole 232 is a fastening hole spaced a certain distance from the first fastening hole 231.

[0033] Therefore, the first hook 131 of the hook member 130 arranged on one side of the main body 110 is hooked into the first fastening hole 231 of the slat 200 on one side, and the first hook 131 on the other side of the main body 110 is hooked into the first fastening hole 231 of the slat 200 on the other side.

[0034] In addition, the second hook 132 of the hook member 130 arranged on one side of the main body 110 is hooked into the second fastening hole 232 of the slat on one side, and the second hook 132 arranged on the other side of the main body 110 is hooked into the second fastening hole 232 of the slat 200 on the other side.

[0035] Therefore, the connecting member 100 can be configured so that one side slat 200 is hung on the first hook 131 and the second hook 132 arranged on one side of the main body 110, and the other side slat 200 adjacent to the one side slat 200 is hung on the first hook 131 and the second hook 132 arranged on the other side of the main body 110.

[0036] 4(a), the mounting opening 120 of the main body 110 may be disposed at a center of gravity where the main body 110 can maintain horizontality when the slat 200 is hung. For example, the main body 110 may be configured such that the ratio of a distance d1 from the position where the mounting opening 120 is disposed to one end of the main body in the direction toward the center of the slat 200 to a distance d2 from the position where the mounting opening is disposed to the other end of the main body is d1:d2=1:2.

[0037] Furthermore, the body 110 of the present invention can be implemented with various ratios of d1:d2 depending on the position of the center of gravity, which is determined by the ratio between the transparent portion 210 and the light-shielding portion 220. This may be a structure in which the mounting port 120 is fixed to the runner 11 and the weight of the slats 200 hanging on both sides of the body 110 connects the body 110 while maintaining its horizontal center.

[0038] The transparent portion 210 is bent in a semicircular arc shape and fastened to the connecting member 100 so that the light-shielding portions 210 face each other, thereby supporting the weight of the transparent portion 210 of the slat 200. Therefore, one side end of the main body 110 adjacent to the transparent portion 210 can bear a greater weight than the other side end.

[0039] Furthermore, the hook members 130 provided on the main body 110 that are closest to the transparent portion 210 can bear a greater weight than the hook members 130 that are farther away from the transparent portion 210 .

[0040] Therefore, if the mounting opening 120 is positioned at the center of the horizontal length of the main body 110, the weight of the transparent part 210 of the slat 200 will cause the main body 110 to tilt toward the transparent part 210, making it impossible to maintain the horizontality of the main body 110.

[0041] Therefore, the main body 110 of the present invention is configured such that the distance from the mounting opening 120 to both side ends is set at an appropriate ratio depending on the case, as described above, so that the main body 110 supporting the weight of the slat 200 can remain horizontal without tilting.

[0042] The hook members 130 may be provided in multiple hook-like configurations on both sides or one side of the main body 110 so that the fastening holes 230 of the slats 200 can be hooked onto them. As shown in Fig. 4(a), three hook members 130 may be provided on each side at a predetermined distance from each other, or as shown in Fig. 4(b), two hook members 130 may be provided on each side. As shown in Figs. 5(a), 5(b), and 6, one hook member 130 is provided on each side of the main body 110, but the length of the hook member 130 may vary.

[0043] As shown in Fig. 5(a), the hook member 130 may be formed to have the same length as the mounting hole 120, or as shown in Figs. 5(b) and 6, the hook member 130 may be formed to be longer than the mounting hole 120. As with the hook shape described above, the hook is not limited to a specific length and may be formed to correspond to the shape and length of the fastening hole 230 into which the hook is inserted.

[0044] The shape of the hook member 130 is basically hook-like, but the cross section of the hook member 130 may resemble an "S" shape as shown in Figure 7(a) or 7(b). This is because, when the slat 200 is hung on the hook member 130, the upper part of the inner surface of the hook member 130 can naturally prevent the slat 200 hung on the hook member 130 from coming off.

[0045] According to another embodiment of the hook member 130, as shown in FIG. 8(a), the end of the hook member 130 may be configured in a shape similar to a fishhook. In this embodiment, one side of the end of the hook member 130 is tapered, allowing the fastening hole 230 of the slat 200 to slide onto the hook member 130 for fastening, thereby enabling the fastening hole 230 and the hook member 130 to be fastened more smoothly than before. The slat 200 with the hook member 130 inserted into the fastening hole 230 can form a structure that is difficult to separate after fastening due to the tapered structure of the end of the hook member 130. The above effect can be applied not only when one slat 200 is connected to the hook member 130, but also when multiple slats 200 are connected. The hook shape of the connecting member is not limited to the specific shape shown in the drawings, and any hook shape that can be hooked into the fastening hole and maintain a fastened state with the slat 200 can be used.

[0046] According to another embodiment of the hook member 130, as shown in FIG. 8(b), the body 110 may include a fixed cover 111 connected to the upper end thereof and overlapping one side of the body 110. That is, the body 110 may include a fixed cover 111 whose upper end is connected to one side thereof, and the fixed cover 111 may include an opening 112 through which the hook member 130 can pass. The fixed cover 111 may have the same area as the body 110 to overlap it, and when the fixed cover 111 is closed, the opening 112 may be larger than the hook member 130 so as not to interfere with the hook member 130. While FIG. 8(b) shows a rectangular opening 112, it is not necessarily limited to this shape, and any shape of opening 112 may be used as long as it does not interfere with the hook member 130. The fixed cover 111 may prevent the slats fastened within the hook member 130 from coming off, and may not be in perfect contact with the body 110 due to the volume of the slats.

[0047] As shown in Figures 4(a) to 12, the connecting member according to the present invention is fixed to a number of runners 11 arranged continuously in the internal space of a rail 10 connected to the ceiling, and is configured so that adjacent slats 200 can be hung on both sides or one side.

[0048] Specifically, the connecting member 100 is configured to be connected to the runner 11 of the rail 10 connected to the ceiling on the upper side and to have the slats 200 connected to it on the lower side, so that adjacent slats 200 can be hung on both sides.

[0049] Therefore, the connecting member 100 may include a mounting port 120 that is connected to the runner 11, a main body 110 that is arranged below the mounting port, and hook members 130 that are protruded from both sides of the main body 110 corresponding to the fastening holes 230 of the slats 200 and have a hook shape so that the fastening holes 230 can be hooked.

[0050] As shown in FIGS. 1, 8(a) and 8(b), the hook members 130 may be protruded from both sides or one side of the body 110.

[0051] When the hook members 130 are protruded from both sides of the main body 110, the fastening holes 230 of the slats 200 arranged on both sides of the main body 110 may be configured to be hooked onto the hook members 131 and 132. Specifically, the hook members 130 may be configured so that one slat 200 is hung on the hook member 130 arranged on one side of the main body 110, and the other slat 200 adjacent to the one slat 200 is hung on the hook member 130 arranged on the other side of the main body.

[0052] When the hook member 130 is protruded from one side of the main body, two slats 200 can be hung on the hook member 130 provided on one side of the main body 110. Specifically, the hook member 130 can be configured so that the slats 200 on one side and the slats 200 on the other side adjacent to the slats 200 on the one side can all be hung on the hook member 130 provided on one side of the main body at once.

[0053] In addition, it is preferable that the hook members 130 are formed in the same number and positions as the fastening holes 230 formed in the light-blocking part 220. In addition, as described above, the hook members 130 can be applied in various ways without being limited in number and position within the main body 110. For example, the hook members 130 may be arranged in pairs protruding from both sides of the main body 110, so that a total of four hook members 130 are arranged on one main body 110, or may be arranged in a total of two hook members 130 protruding from one side of the main body 110.

[0054] 10, the fastening hole 230 formed in the light-shielding portion 220 of the slat 200 may be provided in an elliptical shape formed as a long hole. Also, the hook member 130 disposed on the main body 110 may be fastened to the fastening hole 230 in accordance with the elliptical shape formed as a long hole.

[0055] In addition, the oval fastening hole 230 formed as a long hole does not necessarily have to be able to fasten only a long hook member 230, and as shown in Fig. 11, a plurality of hook members 130 arranged on one side of the main body 110 may be fastened to the oval fastening hole 230. In this case, the plurality of hook members 130 fastened to the oval fastening hole 230 can support the weight of the fastening slat 200 and balance it so that it does not tilt to one side.

[0056] 12, a slat can be fastened to a connecting member to which a fixed cover 111 is attached. The hook member 130 provided on the main body 110 can have various shapes, and the opening 112 of the fixed cover 111 can be formed in various shapes according to the shape of the hook member 130. As shown in FIG. 12, a fixed cover 111 having an elongated opening 112 can be provided on an elongated hook member 130. Although not all other fixed covers 111 are shown, it goes without saying that connecting members to which fixed covers 111 having openings 112 of various shapes are attached to match the various hook members shown in this specification can be applied. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, a connecting member equipped with a fixed cover 111 can hang two slats on the hook member 130, and this can also be applied to a connecting member 130 equipped with a fixed cover 111 described below.

[0057] 13(a) is a first side view of the connecting member and slat according to the present invention, and FIG. 13(b) is a second side view of the connecting member and slat. Referring to FIG. 13(a) and FIG. 13(b), a certain amount of play is formed between the end of the hook member 130 and the main body 110, so that the slat 200 can be easily hooked onto and detached from the hook member 130.

[0058] As shown in Fig. 13(a), a hook member 130 disposed on one side or both sides of the main body 110 may protrude from the lower portion of the main body 110. The hook member 130 may be configured in a curved shape as shown at the bottom of the hook member 130 in Fig. 13(a), or may protrude from the main body 110 in a flat shape as shown at the bottom of the hook member 130 in Fig. 13(b).

[0059] As shown in Fig. 13(b), the hook member 130 disposed on one or both sides of the main body 110 may protrude from the middle of the main body 110. That is, in the above case, the hook member 130 may be shaped like a general hook and protrude from a position closer to the mounting opening 120. This allows the slat 200 to be hung higher from the ground. Also, the hook member may be configured in a flat shape as shown at its lower end in Fig. 13(b), or may protrude from the main body 110 in a curved shape as shown at its lower end in Fig. 13(a).

[0060] Figure 14(a) is a third side view of the connecting member and slat according to the present invention, and Figure 14(b) is a fourth side view of the connecting member and slat. The shape of the hook member 130 has a cross section similar to an "S" shape, which is intended to prevent the slat 200 hooked on the hook member 130 from coming off. The hook member 130 may be configured with a shape memory material inserted therein, and the end of the hook member 130 may contact the main body 110.
