- three guide rings namely 530,630,730 and 531,631,731, are attached to the curtain 510 on each side of the longitudinal center line 511, the distances between the two guide rings 530,531 for the pull cord 520, the guide rings 630,631 for the pull cord 620 and the guide rings 730,731 for the pull cord 720 from the longitudinal center line 511 of the curtain 510 are the same.
- the pull cord driver 560 can have the most diverse configurations. According to an embodiment according to FIGS. 30A, 30B and 30C, the pull cord driver is
- FIG. 30A consists of a plug-like shaped body 561 which, according to FIG. 30A, is provided with a hook section 562 or, corresponding to FIG. 30B, with two oppositely directed hook-shaped sections 562, 562 '.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 30C also consists of a plug-like shaped body 561 which carries a driver cam 563, this driver cam 563 having a button-like widening 563a at its free end in order to be able to act as driver.
- the plug-like shaped body 561 which carries a driver cam 563, this driver cam 563 having a button-like widening 563a at its free end in order to be able to act as driver.
- This configuration of the pull cord driver 560 has the advantage that the pull cords for the winding process are securely gripped on the one hand and are secured against slipping during the winding process and on the other hand an effortless unhooking from the pull cords is ensured.
- the winding shaft 550 is provided on its circumference with a number of recesses or openings in which these plug-like shaped bodies 561 of the pull cord drivers 560 are inserted. If these plug-like shaped bodies 561 consist of a resilient, elastic plastic, the pull cord Driver 560 held in the recesses or through-bores in the wall of the shaft body of the winding shaft 550 by means of a press or clamp fit. Additional connection options are provided insofar as this type of pull cord driver 560 is then still secured by adhesive connections.

- pull cord pull 560 to be fastened to the winding shaft 550 by means of a screw connection.
- Embodiments of pull cord drivers 560 other than those shown in the drawing and described above can also be used.
- the pull cord driver 560 is fastened to the outer circumference of the winding shaft 550 and has a configuration on the basis of which the pull cord driver 560 detects the pull cords for the winding process and can also release them when the curtain 510 is removed from the fastening rail 540 to be removed or released.
- the venetian blind 100 ' is used according to FIGS. 26 to 29 as follows:
- the pull cord driver 560 In the draped state of the curtain 510, the pull cord driver 560 is out of the engaged position, i.e. the pull cord driver 560 stands on the side facing away from the curtain 510 and is disengaged from the pull cord connecting sections 524, 624, 724 in area A (FIG. 26). If the winding shaft 550 is now rotated in the direction of the arrow X2 by means of the operating chain 555, the pull cord driver 560 pivots from the position B1 to the position B2 and grips the pull cord connection sections 524, 624, 724 in the pull cord section area A (FIG. 27).
- the pull cord driver 560 is hook-shaped in such a way that the pull cord driver engages the pull cord connection sections 524, 624, 724 from above.
- the curtain 510 still assumes its unraveled position. If the winding shaft 550 is rotated further, the pull cord driver 560 takes the pull cord connecting sections 524, 624, 724 of the pull cords 520, 620, 720 with (FIG. 28), the pull cords 520, 620, 720 being wound onto the winding shaft 550 while the winding shaft 550 is rotated further this winding process, the curtain 510 is gathered (FIG. 29).
- the gathering curtain 100 When the gathering process for the curtain 510 has ended, the gathering curtain 100 'assumes the position shown in FIG. 40; the pull cord driver 560 is then still in engagement or in operative connection with the pull cords 520, 620, 720 in the area of their pull cord connecting sections 524, 624, 724. If the direction of rotation of the winding shaft 550 is changed and if it is rotated in the direction of the arrow X3, then the pull cords 520, 620, 720 are unwound from the winding shaft 550 while simultaneously performing the de-entangling process for the curtain 510, so that when the disentangling process for the curtain ends 22, ie the curtain 510 assumes the stretched position shown in FIG.
- the pull cord driver 560 is brought out of the engagement area to the pull cord connecting sections 524,624,724 of the pull cord 520,620,720, that is to say the pull cord driver is no longer in operative connection with the pull cord Curtain 510 can be separated from its fastening rail 540 of the roman blind 100 ', ie it can be detached.
- the pull cord driver 560 is centered on the winding shaft 550, i.e. that is, in the area of the longitudinal center line 11 of the curtain 510, because in this area the arrangement of the guide rings 530, 531 and 630, 631 and 730, 731 in the area around the pull cord driver 560 means that the pull cord sections of the pull cords to be gripped by it 520,620,720.
- more than one pull cord driver 560 can also be provided, the number of pull cord drivers depending on the number of guide rings 530 ', 531' and 630 'which are guided in a U-shape and are combined by pairs. , 631 'and 730', 731 'pull cord pairs 521', 621 ', 721' of three pull cords 520 ', 620', 720 'direction.
- the individual U-shaped pull cord pairs 521 ', 621', 721 ' are arranged side by side, so that the draw cord connection sections 524', 624 ', 724' running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the winding shaft 550 are not as in 32 are superimposed in the central region in order to be able to be grasped by a single pull cord driver 560, but rather lie in series one behind the other so that in order to pull the pull cord connection sections 524 ', 624', 724 ' to be able to grasp, three pull cord drivers 560, 560 ', 560 "are provided, of which each pull cord driver is arranged centrally to the respective pull cord connecting section 524', 624 ', 724' on the take-up shaft 550.
- the minimum number of U-shaped pull cord pairs for the curtain 510 should be two.
- the pull cord driver 560 can be fixedly or also releasably connected to the winding shaft 550.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 25 is particularly advantageous in that the winding shaft 550 is provided on its circumference with a longitudinal slot 580, for example in the form of a guide groove, which receives the slide-shaped pull cord driver 560 and ensures a longitudinal displacement, which is achieved by the arrows Z is indicated. Because of this configuration, it is possible to adapt the winding shaft 550 to the respective requirement to arrange a corresponding and required number of pull cord drivers 560, the spacing of the pull cord drivers 560 being able to be adapted to the pull cord sections to be detected due to the displaceability. There is also the possibility, in addition to a central arrangement of a single pull cord driver 560 on the winding shaft 550, of being able to carry out an off-center arrangement of the pull cord driver if this should become necessary.
- take-up shaft 550 In addition to the use of a single take-up shaft 550, there is also the possibility of arranging two take-up shafts at the end regions of the fastening rail 540, which are designed as short shafts and which can be provided with pull cord drivers 560 in the same way as the take-up shaft 550.
- the length of the two winding shafts can be chosen arbitrarily. It will essentially depend on the width of the curtain 510.
- Each of the two winding shafts is then provided with an operating cord or chain 555. Controllable electromotive drives can also be operatively connected to the winding shafts.
