Patent number: 8528172Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2006Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Faber A/SInventor: Torben Meyer Andersen

Patent number: 8453708Abstract: 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?).Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2009Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Faber A/SInventor: Kim Rysholt

Patent number: 8403020Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2011Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Faber A/SInventor: Ken Rasmussen

Patent number: 7891399Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Faber A/SInventor: Ken Rasmussen

Patent number: 7766068Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2006Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Faber A/SInventor: Torben Mayer Andersen

Publication number: 20080110582Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2006Publication date: May 15, 2008Applicant: FABER A/SInventor: Ken Rasmussen
