TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a connecting member having a hook member for a vertical blind, and a vertical blind with a curtain function using the same and, more particularly, to a connecting member having a hook member for a vertical blind, and a vertical blind with a curtain function using the same, in which the vertical blind includes connection holes at the upper side of a blind sheet in which a transparent part and a light blocking part are disposed alternately, and a connecting member having protruding hook members so that the connection holes can be held by the hook members, thereby facilitating the installation and use of a vertical blind with a curtain function.
BACKGROUND ART
The market of curtains and vertical blinds is very broad because they can block sunlight due to temperature changes in the summer, while also controlling the amount of light transmitted to desired angle and direction, and controlling the strength of the wind in the winter and the amount of direct sunlight for the effect of warmth.
A vertical, which is a curtain-type vertical adjustment system, can be moved left and right with an adjustment rail at the top, allowing one or both sides thereof to gather and spread, and has a fixed hook that rotates 180 degrees, thereby blocking light and controlling a light transmission function.
In addition, a vertical blind with a curtain function includes multiple sets of blinds, wherein the blind includes a transparent part having a predetermined size and light blocking parts disposed respectively on the opposite sides of the transparent part.
In addition, when installed on a rail attached to a ceiling by using a connection tool, the conventional vertical blind with a curtain function operates after two light blocking parts are fixed to one connection tool and the connection tool is inserted into the rail, wherein, when fixing the two light blocking parts to the one connection tool, the two light blocking parts may be incorrectly fixed, and the shapes thereof may change. For example, when one light blocking part of two light blocking parts was fixed without being vertical, there was a problem in that light was not completely blocked or the shape of the product was not formed properly, deteriorating marketability.
In particular, when trying to install a DIY vertical blind, a less-skilled consumer purchases a vertical blind and clips separately and performs installation thereof by himself or herself, and at the stage at which the consumer fixes the clips to a light blocking part of the blind, when the blind is fixed without being vertical, there was a problem that light was not completely blocked or the product was installed unevenly, seriously deteriorating marketability thereof.
Accordingly, there is a demand for the development of a blind with a curtain function, in which the blind includes connection holes provided in the upper end of a blind sheet, and a connecting member having hook members provided on opposite sides thereof, with the connection holes held by the hook members, respectively, thereby simplifying the installation process of a vertical blind with a curtain function and facilitating the installation of the vertical blind so that marketability is not reduced.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the attached drawings.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram illustrating the general configuration of a connecting member having a hook member for a vertical blind and a vertical blind with a curtain function using the same according to the present disclosure, and as illustrated in FIG. 1, the vertical blind may include a connecting member 100 and a blind sheet 200.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the connecting member 100 is fixed to each of multiple runners 11 arranged in the inner space of a rail 10 coupled to a ceiling and may be configured such that neighboring blind sheets 200 at opposite sides of the connecting member can be held thereby. In addition, the connecting member 100 may be configured such that neighboring blind sheets 200 at one side of the connecting member 100 can all be held thereby.
Accordingly, the connecting member 100 may include an attachment tool 120 coupled to each of the runners 11, a body 110 disposed on the lower side of the attachment tool 120, and a hook member 130 protruding on each of the opposite side surfaces of the body 110 to correspond to a connection hole 230 of the blind sheet 200 and having a hook shape so that the connection hole 230 is held by the hook member.
FIG. 2 (a) is a first configuration diagram illustrating the configuration of the blind sheet 200 according to the present disclosure. According to the first embodiment of the blind sheet 200, light blocking parts 220 may be located on the opposite ends of a transparent part 210. The connection hole 230 of the blind sheet 200 may be provided on each of the upper left and right sides of each of the light blocking parts 220, and may correspond to the hook-shaped hook member 130 of the connecting member 100 to be described later.
The connection hole 230 may be provided in various shapes, and as illustrated in FIG. 2 (a), as one embodiment of the blind sheet 200, two circular connection holes 231 and 232 may be formed on each of the light blocking parts by being spaced by a predetermined distance apart from each other. In addition, each of the connection holes 231 and 232 is provided with an eyelet on a circumference thereof, and thus the blind sheet 200 can be protected from the hook members 130 to be inserted into the connection holes 231 and 232.
FIG. 2 (b) is a second configuration diagram illustrating the configuration of the blind sheet 200 according to the present disclosure. According to the second embodiment of the blind sheet 200, the transparent part 210 of the blind sheet 200 is bent into a semicircular arc shape so that the light blocking parts 220 face each other, that is, into a “U” shape, and accordingly, the blind sheet 200 may be connected to the connecting member 100 to be described later by the connection holes 231 and 232.
Specifically, the blind sheet 200 has the light blocking part 220 disposed on each of opposite sides thereof, and the transparent part 210 disposed on a center thereof to form one unit of the blind sheet, wherein the transparent part 210 is bent into a semicircular arc shape so that the transparent part 210 is placed on an indoor side so that the blind sheet can be installed by being held by the connecting member.
Accordingly, in the blind sheet 200, the angle of the transparent part 210 and the light blocking part 220 is controlled so that a user can selectively use the light blocking function of the blind.
FIG. 3 (a) is a third configuration diagram illustrating the configuration of the blind sheet 200 according to the present disclosure. According to the third embodiment of the blind sheet 200, the connection hole 230 in the first configuration diagram illustrated in FIG. 2 (a) may be provided in an oval shape with a long hole formed in the upper part of the light blocking part 220. Even in this case, the connection hole 230 has the eyelet 240 provided on a periphery thereof so that the blind sheet 200 can be protected from the hook member 130 to be inserted into each of the connection holes 231 and 232. In this case, the connection hole 230 may include a first connection hole 231 adjacent to the transparent part 210 and a second connection hole 232 disposed to be spaced apart from the first connection hole 231.
According to still another embodiment of the present disclosure, a film may be attached to a certain portion of the light blocking part 220 to protect the fabric thereof from being damaged. Particularly, the blind sheet may be damaged due to friction between the blind sheet and the hook member, and thus to prevent this, the film may be heat-adhered to the edge of the connection hole 230 of the light blocking part. Instead of the eyelet 240 mentioned above, a film may be attached on the periphery of the connection hole 230. In addition, the film may be inserted into the upper part of the fabric to form the blind sheet into a structure so that the blind sheet can withstand friction.
Accordingly, the connection hole 230 includes the first connection hole 231 and the second connection hole 232 disposed in the upper side of the light blocking part 220, and the first connection hole 231 and the second connection hole 232 are held by a first hook 131 and a second hook 132 of the connecting member 100, respectively, wherein the first connection hole 231 is held by the first hook 131 of the connecting member 100, and the second connection hole 232 is held by the second hook 132 of the connecting member 100.
FIG. 3 (b) is a fourth configuration diagram illustrating the configuration of the blind sheet 200 according to the present disclosure. According to the fourth embodiment of the blind sheet 200, in the second configuration diagram illustrated in FIG. 2 (b), the connection hole 230 formed in the upper part of the light blocking part 220 may be provided in an oval shape with a long hole. Even in this case, the eyelet 240 is provided on the periphery of the connection hole, and thus when the hook member 130 is inserted into each of the connection holes 231 and 232, the blind sheet 200 can be protected.
FIG. 4 (a) is a first configuration diagram illustrating the configuration of the connecting member according to the present disclosure. According to the first embodiment of the connecting member 100, the body 110 has a plate shape having a quadrangular cross-section with the long horizontal length of the exterior of the connecting member 100, wherein one attachment tool 120 may be disposed on the upper side of the body 110, and the hook members 130 may be formed to protrude on opposite side surfaces.
The hook member 130 may include one pair of first hooks 131 disposed correspondingly on the opposite side surfaces of the body 110 so that the first connection hole 231 to be described later is held thereby, and one pair of second hooks 132 disposed on the opposite side surfaces of the body 110 to be spaced by a predetermined distance apart from the first hooks 131 so that the second connection hole 232 to be described later is held thereby.
At this time, the first connection hole 231 is a connection hole, which is adjacent to the transparent part 210, of the connection holes 230 formed in the upper part of the light blocking part 220 of the blind sheet 200, and the second connection hole 232 is a connection hole spaced by a predetermined distance apart from the first connection hole 231.
Accordingly, in the hook member 130, a first hook 131 disposed on a first side surface of the body 110 holds a first connection hole 231 of a first side blind sheet 200, and a first hook 131 disposed on a second side surface of the body 110 holds a first connection hole 231 of a second side blind sheet 200.
In addition, in the hook member 130, a second hook 132 disposed on the first side surface of the body 110 holds a second connection hole 232 of the first side blind sheet, and a second hook 132 disposed on the second side surface of the body 110 holds a second connection hole 232 of the second side blind sheet 200.
Accordingly, the connecting member 100 may be configured so that the first side blind sheet 200 is held by the first hook 131 and the second hook 132 disposed on the first side surface of the body 110, and the second side blind sheet 200 neighboring to the first side blind sheet 200 is held by the first hook 131 and the 5 second hook 132 disposed on the second side surface of the body 110.
In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 4 (a), the attachment tool 120 may be disposed on the center of gravity of the body 110 at which the body 110 can be maintained to be horizontal while the blind sheet 200 is held on the body 110. For example, the body 110 may be configured so that the ratio d1:d2 of a distance d1 between a position at which the attachment tool 120 is disposed and a first end of the body directed to the center of the blind sheet 200 and a distance d2 between the position at which the attachment tool is disposed and a second end of the body is 1:2.
In addition, the ratio d1:d2 of the body 110 of the present disclosure may be implemented at various ratios depending on the position of the center of gravity according to the ratio of the transparent part 210 and the light blocking part 220. This may be a structure in which the body 110 is horizontally balanced with respect to the weight of the blind sheet 200 held on each of the opposite side surfaces of the body 110 while the attachment tool 120 is fixed to the runner 11.
The transparent part 210 is bent into a semicircular arc shape and the light blocking parts 220 face each other to be connected to the connecting member 100 so that the weight of the transparent part 210 of the blind sheet 200 is supported, and accordingly, the first end of the body 110 adjacent to the transparent part 210 may bear a greater weight than the second end of the body 110.
In addition, even in the hook member 130 provided on the body 110, a hook member 130 adjacent to the transparent part 210 may bear a greater weight than a hook member 130 far from the transparent part 210.
Accordingly, when the attachment tool 120 is placed at the center of the horizontal length of the body 110, the body 110 is tilted toward the transparent part 210 due to the weight of the transparent part 210 of the blind sheet 200, and thus the horizontality of the body 110 cannot be maintained.
Accordingly, the body 110 of the present disclosure is configured so that the ratio of distances up to the opposite ends of the body relative to the attachment tool 120 is appropriate depending on a case as described above, so the body 110, which supports the weight of the blind sheet 200, can be made to remain horizontal without tilting.
The hook member 130, which has a hook shape, protrudes on each of opposite side surfaces or one surface of the body 110 so that the connection hole 230 of the blind sheet 200 is held by the hook member, and may include multiple hook members disposed on each side surface. As illustrated in FIG. 4 (a), three hook members may be formed on each of the opposite side surfaces by being spaced by a predetermined distance apart from each other, and as illustrated in FIG. 4 (b), two hook members may be formed on each of the opposite side surfaces. In addition, as illustrated in FIGS. 5 (a), 5 (b), and FIG. 6, one body 110 may be formed on each side surface, and the length of the hook member 130 may be varied.
As illustrated in FIG. 5 (a), the hook member 130 may be formed as long as the attachment tool 120, and as illustrated in FIGS. 5 (b) and 6, the hook member 130 may be formed to be much longer than the length of the attachment tool 120. Like the shape of the hook mentioned above, the hook is not limited to a specific length, and may be formed to correspond to the shape and length of the connection hole 230 into which the hook is inserted.
The shape of the hook member 130 is basically a hook shape, but as illustrated in FIG. 7 (a) or 7 (b), the shape of the cross section of the hook member 130 may be similar to an ‘S’ shape. This allows the upper part of the inner surface of the hook member 130 to naturally prevent the removal of the blind sheet 200 held by the hook member 130 when the blind sheet 200 is held by the hook member 130.
In addition, according to another embodiment of the hook member 130, as illustrated in FIG. 8 (a), the end of the hook member 130 may be formed in a shape similar to a ‘fish hook’. In this embodiment, one side of the end of the hook member 130 is formed in a tapered structure so that the connection hole 230 of the blind sheet 200 can be slidably connected to the hook member 130, so the connection hole 230 and the hook Member 130 can be connected to each other more smoothly than before. After the blind sheet 200 having the connection hole 230 into which the hook member 130 is inserted is connected to the hook member 130, the removal of the blind sheet 200 from the hook member 130 may be difficult due to the tapered structure of the end of the hook member 130. The above effect can be equally applied not only when one blind sheet 200 is combined with the hook member 130, but also when a plurality of blind sheets 200 is combined therewith. The shape of the hook of the connecting member is not limited to the special shape in the drawing, and any shape of a hook which can hold the connection hole and maintain the connection of the hook with the blind sheet 200 may be applied.
In addition, according to still another embodiment of the hook member 130, as illustrated in FIG. 8 (b), a fixing cover 111 connected to the upper end of the body 110 and lying correspondingly on one side surface of the body 110 may be provided. That is, the body 110 may be provided with the fixing cover 111 having an upper end connected to the one side surface thereof, wherein the fixing cover 111 may include an opening 112 through which the hook member 130 can pass. The fixing cover 111 may have the same area as the body 110 so as to lie correspondingly on the body 110, and may include an opening 112 larger than the hook member 130 in order not to interfere with the hook member 130 the hook member 130 when the fixing cover 111 is closed. In FIG. 8 (b), the opening 112 is illustrated in a quadrangular shape, but is not necessarily limited to this shape, and may be an opening 112 of any shape when the opening does not interfere with the hook member 130. The fixing cover 111 can prevent the blind sheet fastened into the hook member 130 from being removed therefrom, and may not be completely in close contact with the body 110 due to the volume of the blind sheet.
As illustrated in FIGS. 4 (a) to 12, the connecting member 100 according to the present disclosure is fixed to each of multiple runners 11 that is successively arranged in the inner space of the rail 10 coupled to a ceiling, and is configured so that neighboring blind sheets 200 located at opposite sides or one side can be held by the connecting member.
Specifically, the connecting member 100 is configured in such a manner that the upper side of the connecting member 100 is coupled to the runner 11 of the rail 10 coupled to the ceiling and the blind sheet 200 is connected to the lower side of the connecting member 100 so that each of neighboring blind sheets 200 at opposite side surfaces can be held by the connecting member 100.
Accordingly, the connecting member 100 may include the attachment tool 120 coupled to the runner 11, the body 110 disposed on the lower side of the attachment tool, and the hook member 130 protruding on each of the opposite sides of the body 110 to correspond to the connection hole 230 of the blind sheet 200 and having a hook shape so that the connection hole 230 is held by the hook member 130.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 8 (a), and 8 (b), the hook members 130 may protrude on the opposite side surfaces or one side surface of the body 110.
When the hook members protrude on the opposite side surfaces of the body 110, the hook members may be configured so that the connection holes 230 of the blind sheet 200 disposed on each of the opposite sides of the body 110 are held by the hook members 131 and 132, respectively. Specifically, the hook members 130 may be configured so that the first side blind sheet 200 is held by the hook member 130 disposed on the first side surface of the body 110, and the second side blind sheet 200 neighboring to the first side blind sheet 200 is held by the hook member 130 disposed on the second side surface of the body.
When the hook member protrudes on the first side surface of the body, two blind sheets 200 may be held by the hook member 130 provided on the first side surface of the body 110. Specifically, the hook member 130 may be configured so that the first side blind sheet 200 and the second side blind sheet 200 neighboring to the first side blind sheet 200 are held all at once by the hook member 130 disposed on the first side surface of the body.
In addition, it may be preferably that the hook member 130 is formed to correspond in number and position to the connection hole 230 formed in the light blocking part 220. In addition, as described above, the hook member 130 may variously be applied without the number and arrangement thereof being limited within the body 110. For example, the hook member 130 may include one pair of hook members disposed by protruding on each of the opposite side surfaces of the body 110, so that a total of four hook members may be disposed on one body 110, and the hook member 130 may include one pair of hook members disposed by protruding on one side surface of the body, so that a total of two hook members may be disposed on one body 110.
As illustrated in FIG. 10, the connection hole 230 formed in the light blocking part 220 of the blind sheet 200 may be provided in an oval shape having a long hole. In addition, the hook member 130 disposed in the body 110 also corresponds to an oval shape having a long hole, so the long hook member 130 may be connected to the connection hole 230.
In addition, only the long hook member 130 is not required to be connected to the connection hole 230 with an oval shape having a long hole, and as illustrated in FIG. 11, a plurality of hook members 130 disposed on one side of the body 110 may be connected to the oval-shaped connection hole 230. In this case, the plurality of hook members 130 connected to the oval-shaped connection hole 230 can support the weight of the blind sheet 200 and maintain balance thereof so that the blind sheet does not tilt to one side.
In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the blind sheet may be connected to the connecting member to which the fixing cover 111 is attached. The shape of the hook member 130 provided on the body 110 is diverse, and according to the various shapes of the hook members 130, the opening 112 of the fixing cover 111 may also be formed in various shapes. As illustrated in FIG. 12, a fixing cover 111 having an opening 112 of a thin shape may be provided to correspond to a thin hook member 130, and although all of other fixing covers 111 are not shown, a connecting member to which the fixing cover 111 having the openings 112 of various shapes for various hook members illustrated in this specification is attached may be applied. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the hook member 130 of the connecting member having the fixing cover 111 may hold two blind sheets, and this can be equally applied to the connecting member 130 provided with the fixing cover 111 described below.
FIG. 13 (a) is a first side view of the connecting member and the blind sheet according to the present disclosure, and FIG. 13 (b) is a second side view of the connecting member and the blind sheet. Referring to FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), a predetermined gap is formed between the end of the hook member 130 and the body 110 so that the blind sheet 200 can be easily held by or removed from the hook member 130.
As illustrated in FIG. 13 (a), the hook member 130 disposed on the first side surface or each of the opposite side surfaces of the body 110 may protrude from the lower portion of the body 110. In addition, like the lower end of the hook member 130 of FIG. 13 (a), the hook member may have a lower end having a curved shape, and like the lower end of the hook member 130 of FIG. 13 (b), the hook member may have a lower end protruding in a flat shape from the body 110.
