Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vertical slatted blind.
  • window decorations are frequently applied in offices where computers are used.
  • the screens of the computers prove to be properly readable only when the incident light from outside is sufficiently subdued.
  • the window decorations know per se can subdue the light sufficiently for rendering a screen positioned at a workplace properly readable.
  • a drawback of the known window decorations is that the use of these decorations is experienced as unpleasant. Tests have shown that persons present in a space in which the windows are provided with the known window decorations will, after a passage of time, start to feel unwell, which may lead to mental and physical strains.
  • the vertical slated blind according to the invention is characterized in that the window decoration, when brought into a condition ready for use, comprises a first face extending in horizontal direction over at least substantially the full width of the window decoration and a second face extending in horizontal direction of the window decoration, wherein the first and the second face are formed by the vertical slats, while to each of said slats it applies that it transmits at least substantially no light for a first portion of the relevant slat, said first portion forming part of the first face, and partially transmits light for a second portion of the relevant slat, said second portion forming part of the second face so that the first face transmitting substantially no light, the second face subduing the incident light in such a manner that a person present at his workplace in an inner space provided with the window decoration can still look outside through the second face, the first face being located above the second face.
  • the screens still prove to be properly readable, in spite of the transmission of a certain amount of light through the second face.
  • the second face extends at least substantially over the full width of the window decoration. This last will be the case in particular when the window decoration itself is approximately as wide as a window or door in front of which the window decoration is located.
  • first and second faces adjoin each other.
  • the second face extends down to a lower side of the window decoration. However, this is not required. Also, it generally applies that the first face extends up to the upper side of the window decoration. However, this is not required either, because at the upper side of the window decoration, there may further be present a face whose properties deviate from those of the first face.
  • first and second faces each have a rectangular shape. (May be horizontal or vertical).
  • reference numeral 1 designates a window decoration/sun protection in the form of a horizontal slatted blind.
  • the slatted blind 1 is mounted on a wall 2 of an inner space 4 containing a workplace 6 with a picture screen 8.
  • the horizontal slatted blind is in use, i.e. the horizontal slatted blind is in its expanded condition.
  • Fig. 2a is a side elevation of the slatted blind.
  • the slatted blind comprises horizontal slats 10, attached in a manner known per se to a horizontal upper box, known per se.
  • Located in the upper box 12 is a mechanism for hoisting and folding-in the window decoration by means of a hoist cord 18.
  • a number of these slats 10.1 of a first type form a face whose width is indicated by an arrow B in the drawing and whose height is indicated by an arrow I in the drawing.
  • a number of slats 10.2 of a second type form a second face whose width is again indicated by the arrow B in the drawing and whose height is indicated by an arrow II in the drawing.
  • the slats 10.1 of the first type are designed so as to transmit at least substantially no light.
  • the slats 10.2 of the second type are of such design that they transmit incident light from outside in subdued form.
  • the slats 10.2 of the second type are perforated in a manner known per se and each comprise a large number of small apertures.
  • the window decoration when brought into a condition ready for use, comprises a first face (B, I) extending in horizontal direction over at least substantially the full width and in this example even over the entire width of the window decoration, and the window decoration in this condition comprises a second face (B, II) extending in horizontal direction of the window decoration, the first face transmitting at least substantially no light, the second face subduing the incident light such that the person present in an inner space at his workplace can still look outside through the second face, the first face being located above the second face.
  • the second face (B, II) extends over at least substantially the full width of the window decoration and in this example even over the entire width. Further, in this case, it applies that the first and the second face adjoin each other. Moreover, the second face extends down to the lower side 14 of the window decoration. In turn, the first face extends up to an upper side 16 of the window decoration. In this example, it also applies that the first face (B, I) is higher than the second face (B, II).
  • the slats 10.1 of the first type can, for instance, be of aluminum, plastic or wooden design. It also applies that the slats of the second type 10.2 may be constructed of the same materials. It is also possible that the slats of the second type 10.2 are manufactured from transparent plastic, in which case perforation is not necessary.
  • a person who is present at the workplace 6 and wishes to read the screen 8 will be able to do so in a proper manner. Due to a combination of the first face, transmitting no light, with the second face which does actually transmit a portion of the light from outside, the total amount of incident light is sufficiently subdued to provide that the screen 8 remains properly readable. At the same time, a person present at the workplace 6 is still able to look outside through the second face (B, II) and distinguish at least some contours of the outside world. In this example, a number of trees 20 are vaguely visible.
  • the window decoration is designed as a pleated blind, comprising a sheet-shaped material pleated in one piece, its appearance will be comparable to Fig. 1.
  • This window decoration comprises an upper box 12 and a lower beam 21, while between the upper box 12 and the lower beam 21, in the (expanded) condition ready for use, there is exclusively located a sheet-shaped material pleated in one piece.
  • this material, pleated in one piece may be built up from different sheets of material.
  • the first face is then formed by a pleated, sheet-shaped material 22 which transmits at least substantially no light (non-transparent or semi-transparent; see Fig. 2b).
  • the second face is formed by a pleated, sheet-shaped material 24 which transmits incident light at least partially.
  • the sheet-shaped first material 22 may, for instance, consist of a cloth having a coating of aluminum applied thereto by vaporization.
  • the second pleated sheet-shaped material may also consist of a transparent cloth.
  • the first and second sheet-shaped materials are directly interconnected and constitute the sheet-shaped material pleated in one piece, in other words: without intermediate beam between the first and second sheet-shaped materials 22, 24 and the like.
  • the connection may consist of a layer of adhesive 25. It is clear that the horizontal slatted blind shown in figs. 1, 2a and 2b does not form part of the invention, bat is useful for understanding it.
  • Fig. 3 shows a first embodiment of a window decoration according to the invention. Parts corresponding to those of the preceding Figures have been provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the window decoration according to Fig. 3 it applies that it is designed as a vertical slatted blind.
  • the first face (B, I) and the second face (B, II) are each formed by the same vertical slats 30.
  • each of these slats that they transmit at least substantially no light for a first portion 32 of the slats located in the first face (B, I) and that these slats comprise a second portion 34 which partially transmits the light, said second portion forming part of the second face (B, II).
  • the above can for instance be realized by manufacturing the slats 30 from aluminum and/or plastic (PVC), while only the lower sides of the slats, i.e. the portion 34 of each of the slats, is perforated.
  • slats which are each manufactured from colored, transparent plastic which partially transmits incident light
  • first portion 32 of each of the slats is provided with a coating that transmits at least substantially no light. Accordingly, the effect is again that the first face (B, I) extends in horizontal direction over the full width of the window decoration and transmits at least substantially no light, and that the second face (B, II) likewise extends in horizontal direction, in this case even over the entire width of the window decoration, the second face subduing the incident light in such a manner that the person present at his workplace in the inner space can still look outside through the second face, the first face being located above the second face.
  • Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of a window decoration according to the invention which at least substantially corresponds to the window decoration of Fig. 3.
  • the slats are of longer design, to form a third face (B, III).
  • This third face (B, III) can, for instance, have the same properties as the second face (B, II).
  • Each slat 30 then comprises a third portion 34 having the same properties as the portion 32 of the relevant slat.
  • the third face (B, III) has the same properties as the first face (B, I).
  • Each slat 30 then comprises a third portion 36 having the same properties as the portion 22 of the relevant slat.
  • the face (B, III) can, for instance, be located below the window sill and need not be especially partially light-transmitting for creating the possibility of looking outside therethrough. Also if the window extended down to the floor 40, the third face (B, III) may be designed for transmitting no light. Indeed, a person present at his workplace can always look outside to some extent via the second face (B, II). Of course, the third face (B, III) may also have properties regarding light transmission that differ from those of the first and second faces (B, I) and (B, II).
  • the first face and the first face are each of rectangular design.
  • the second face has a shape differing from the rectangle.
  • the vertical slatted blind (Figs. 3, 4) is on one or either side enlarged with additional slats which are entirely or partially transparent and/or non-transparent.
  • the slats may, for instance, be suspended beyond a window in front of a wall and, for instance, exclusively have a decorative function.
  • two or more vertical slatted blinds according to the invention are fitted on one horizontal rail or box 12, for instance for suspending in front of two or more windows.
  • additional slats may then be suspended from the horizontal rail or box 12.
  • These additional slats may again be entirely or partially transparent and/or non-transparent and form again additional window decorations.
  • Such variants are each understood to fall within the framework of the invention, as defined in the appended claims.
