The present invention is related to a lace-like structure of a hive-shaped Venetian blind, comprising a blind body made up of a plurality of wave-like arc slats paired up into oval-shaped blind units in cross section. Each wave-like arc slat includes a pair of extended flanges disposed at the front and rear sides thereof. Rollers with lace-producing convex edges disposed thereon are adapted to clamp tight the extended flanges thereof and synchronically seal up the pair-up wave-like arc slats via ultrasonic welding art with lace-like patterns cut at the extended flanges thereon via the lace-producing convex edges thereof. Thus, the blind body thereof is easily and readily assembled to provide a Venetian blind with lace-like patterns disposed at the front and rear sides thereof in beautiful display.

There are some drawbacks to such conventional hive-shaped Venetian blind. First, the blind body 10 is made up of the hive-shaped blind units 13 individually bound together via fixing plates 14, which is not only troublesome and time-consuming in assembly, and also uncompetitive in the market. Second, the blind body 10 is made up of the simple hive-shaped blind units 13, which is rather plain in decoration.
It is, therefore, the primary purpose of the present invention to provide a lace-like structure of a hive-shaped Venetian blind, comprising a blind body made up of a plurality of wave-like arc slats paired up into oval-shaped blind units in cross section. Each wave-like arc slat has a pair of extending flanges disposed at the front and rear sides thereof. Rollers with lace-producing convex edges disposed thereon are adapted to clamp tight the extended flanges thereof and synchronically seal up the pair-up wave-like arc slats to form the blind body thereof in a ready and speedy manner, facilitating the massive production of the Venetian blind thereof.
It is, therefore, the secondary purpose of the present invention to provide a lace-like structure of a hive-shaped Venetian blind wherein the extended flanges of the paired-up wave-like arc slats, clamped by the rollers, are synchronically sealed up via ultrasonic welding art with lace-like patterns cut thereon via the lace-producing convex edges of the rollers to increase the overall beauty of the blind body thereof in display.

Please refer to FIG. 4. The oval-shaped blind units 21, made up of the paired-up wave-like arc slats 22 with lace-like patterns 221′ cut at the extended flanges 22 thereon, are assembled to form a blind body 20 of the Venetian blind in a ready and speedy manner. Thus, via the lace-producing rollers 30, the paired-up wave-like arc slats 22 are synchronically and automatically assembled with ease and speed, facilitating the massive production of the blind body 20 thereof. Besides, the lace-like patterns 221′ cut by the lace-producing convex edges 31 of the rollers 30 thereof also increase the overall beauty of the blind body 20 thereof in display.
