  • Patent number: 8528172
    Abstract: Traditional fixing of raising cords on pleated blinds occurs by sewing plastic flaps in place that hold knots on the raising cords. Adjustment of tension in the raising cords is difficult, because it may be required to loosen the knot and re-tie it in a better location. Loosening and re-tying is avoided in that a plastic clip has slits, in which the raising cords are pinched and locked after being wound 1½ turn around an interjacent tongue in the plane of the plastic clip.

  • Patent number: 8453708
    Abstract: In order to facilitate mounting of a roller blind one end of the roller blind tube is fitted with a spring-loaded insert (M). To prevent this from being pushed back a grub screw may be used, but it requires tools and precise alignment. According to the invention a releasable pawl-and-ratchet structure (2, 4) is provided in the end plug (1). The release is obtained by rotating the holder (5) of the pawls (2), whereby they are directed into axial grooves (3 or 3?).

  • Patent number: 8403020
    Abstract: A roller blind device includes a drive shaft and two neighboring roller blinds on the drive shaft that are adapted to be adjustable with respect to each other. At least one of the roller blinds may be uncoupled from the drive shaft without the use of tools. Once uncoupled, the roller blinds may be adjusted with respect to each other. The roller blind may then be coupled to the drive shaft, allowing for the two neighboring roller blinds to be lowered and raised.

  • Patent number: 7891399
    Abstract: Two neighboring roller blinds on the same drive shaft may be adjusted with respect to each other by letting one end plug comprise an un-coupling device. This un-coupling device may advantageously be made by means of an unwrap spring that is actuated by means of a ring that surrounds one end plug.

  • Patent number: 7766068
    Abstract: Known bottom rails fulfill the requirements stiffness and adjustability at the time of installation, but a noted inequality in the load on the individual raising cord cannot be corrected without a complex dismantling of the bottom rail. According to the invention the bottom rail is suspended in clips (7) that on the one hand holds the lowermost slat (5) and the raising cords (4), on the other hand has means (10) so that the tightening of the raising cords may be adjusted individually.

  • Publication number: 20080110582
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustment element for local adjustment of the circumference of a blind roller for a roller blind, said blind roller having a first end, and a second end between which the blind is wound, a blind roller surface, and an axis of rotation extending axially in relation to said blind roller, said adjusting element comprising an adjustment means adapted to be mounted in proximity to one of said ends and adapted to be displaced relatively to said blind roller surface. In accordance with the invention an adjustment member is configured to partly encircle the circumference of said blind roller and adapted to cooperate with said adjustment means in a way that said adjustment member upon activation of said adjustment means locally is displaced from said surface of said blind roller to thereby adjust said circumference.

  • Patent number: 7370686
    Abstract: A roller blind tube with fabric wound around it is mounted in brackets that have spade-shaped elements (3) provided in the axis. These elements cooperate with oblong holes (2) in terminating plugs (1) in the roller blind tube. According to the invention the oblong holes (2) are opened by rotating excentrically built rings (8). Hereby the roller blind may be hung on the brackets, whereupon the rings (8) are closed again.
