Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the manoeuvring of the blades of a venetian blind, with a incorporated stop organ. It comprises a spindle (8), rotatable on a support element (1) fixed to the frame of the blind, which spindle (8) bears at an end a worn screw (8a) which meshes in a cogged circular section (2) of activation of a pair of command rods (6, 7) of the blades, and, at another end, a knob (12) solid in rotation with the spindle (8). The stop organ comprises a flanged collar (10), fixed on the support element (1) and having, in a single piece, a first cogged crown (10d) with straight external teeth, which surrounds the spindle (8). The knob (12) is mobile through a determined run on the spindle (8) and has, at a cylindrical end (12c) slidable inside the flanged collar (10), a second cogged crown (12d) with straight internal teeth, meshable on the first cogged crown (10d) of the flanged collar (10) to cause the manual stopping of the spindle (8) rotation.
Description
- The invention relates to a manoeuvring device of the blades of a blind, with a stop organ incorporated for the blocking of the said blades in a desired position.
- Traditionally, in external blinds of the venetian type, each unit is constituted by a frame hinged on an upright and bearing blades inclined from the inside towards the outside, the said blades being rotatable to modify the flow of light or air passing through the blind, and naturally also the possibility of observation from the inside towards the outside and viceversa.
- Among others, the prior art teaches a maneouvring device of a blind for the inclination of the blades to the desired position comprising, rotatable on a support fixed to the frame of the blind, a spindle, bearing at an end a worm screw which screws into a circular cogged section to activate a pair of blade command rods and, at its other end, a knob solid in rotation with the said spindle.
- The drawbacks of the prior art device are due to the fact that it does not permit of blocking the blades of the blind at any desired inclination, and for this reason it has been necessary in the past to provide separately for this in other parts of the blind frame, namely by providing blocking means of various types, not further described herein.
- The aim of the present invention is thus to eliminate the above drawbacks, by providing a device which permits, which a single command means, of manoeuvring the blades and blocking them at the inclination desired.
- A further aim of the invention is to provide such a device, also exhibiting considerable ergonomic characteristics, in particular with respect to reliability and ease of use.
- The invention, as it is characterised in the claims that follow, solves the problem of providing a manoeuvring device for the blades of a venetian blind with an incorporated stop organ for the blocking of the blades in the desired inclination, comprising, rotatable on a support element fixed to the blind frame, a spindle, bearing at an end a worm screw which screws into a circular cogged section for the activation of a pair of command rods of the blades, and at another end a knob solid in rotation with the said spindle, which, from a general point of view, is characterised in that the said incorporated stop organ comprises a flanged collar, fixed coaxially with the said spindle on the said support and having, in a single piece, a first cogged crown with straight external teeth which surround the said spindle; the said knob having, at its internal cylindrical end, a second cogged crown with straight internal teeth, which, for the manual stopping of the spindle rotation, meshes with the first cogged crown of the flanged collar when the knob is moved on the said shaft from an external position to the said collar, striking with an end run envisaged on the free end of the spindle, at an internal position to the said collar.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will better emerge from the detailed description that follows, of a preferred but non-exclusive embodiment here illustrated in the form of a non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 shows in partially-exploded perspective view a manoeuvring device according to the invention;
- Figure 2 shows, partially in front view and partially in longitudinal section, the same device as in figure 1;
- Figures 3 and 4 show in longitudinal section a part of the same device of the preceding figures, respectively in a position of regulation of the blades and in a blocking position of the blades.
- With reference to the drawings, in particular figures 1 and 2, a support element 1 of the manoeuvring device according to the invention, C-conformed and fixed to the upright of a blind frame (not shown in figures), supports on its principal side 1a, in a known way, a circular
cogged section 2 rotatable on apivot 3 with a rotation arc delimited by a stop element, obtained conventionally by cutting and offsetting a tab 4 of the principal side 1a towards the circularcogged section 2. The circularcogged section 2 bears twopins 5 projecting orthogonally from the circularcogged section 2, destined to house in corresponding holes of two command rods 6 and 7 denoted with broken lines and operating, in a known way, according to the arrows indicated by a continuous line or alternatively according to the arrows indicated by broken lines, on blind blades (not represented). - The support element 1 supports in a known way, in coaxial holes bored on the two
wings spindle 8, held by a shaped portion ofsheet metal 9 against thewing 1c. Thespindle 8 bears, in its end portion supported by thesaid wings cogged section 2 of activation of the command rods 6, 7. Thespindle 8 section is reduced in the portion 8b external to thewings - According to the invention, a stop organ comprising a
flanged collar 10 and aknob 12 is incorporated in the manoeuvring device as described above. - The flanged
collar 10 comprises a base plate 10a equipped withholes wing 1c of the support element 1. Acylinder 10b emerges from the base plate 10a, which cylinder exhibits a projectingring 10c and, coaxial to the saidring 10c, a first cogged crown withstraight teeth 10d, surrounding ahole 10e. The flangedcollar 10 is inserted in thespindle 8 through the saidhole 10e. - Successively, a
knob 12 is inserted on theselfsame spindle 8. Theknob 12 exhibits a peripherically-knurledculindrical portion 12a of larger diameter, a cylindrical portion 12b of intermediate diameter, and acylindrical portion 12c of smaller diameter. The external diameter of theportion 12c is slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the projectingring 10c. A secondcogged crown 12d is bored into thecylindrical portion 12c, the teeth of which second coggedcrown 12d mesh with the external teeth of the firstcogged crown 10d, when the knob is inserted to its greatest depth inside theflanged collar 10. - The
knob 12 exhibits, coaxially communicating with the secondcylindrical crown 12d, acavity 12e with a profile corresponding to that of the portion of spindle 8b in such a way that theknob 12 rotates together with the said spindle 8b. Thecavity 12e communicates with a hole 12f of greater diameter for the insertion of a longitudinal end run means of the knob on the spindle 8b. Ascrew 13 with a head of greater diameter than the width of thehole 12e can conveniently be used as an end run means, the saidscrew 13 being screwable in a counterthread 8d made coaxially in the end of the portion 8b. The hole 12f is closed with apressure cap 14. - Concerning the materials used to make the assembly, the
flanged collar 10 and the knob might advantageously be made of plastic material. - The functioning of the manoeuvring device is as follows. In the regulation position of the blades of the device shown in figure 3, the
knob 12 is, together with the circular crown 12g of the hole 12f, striking against the internal face of thescrew 13 head. In this regulation position, the secondcircular crown 12a is disconnected from thecircular crown 10d. In the regulation position, the rotation of theknob 12 determines the rotation of thespindle 8 and thus the rotation of the coggedcurcular sector 2, with a consequent alternating movement in respectively opposite directions of the command shafts 6, 7. - In the blocked position of the blades of the device shown in figure 4, the
knob 12 is moved along thespindle 8 and has the circular crown portion 12g of the hole 12f distant from the internal face of thescrew 13 head. In this blocked position the secondcircular crown 12a is enmeshed with thecircular crown 10d, and thus the rotation of theknob 12 is prevented, and consequently also the blades of the blind. In this case, the blades cannot be subjected to accidental movements, nor movements caused by their inclination.
