DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING A ROLLER-BLIND OR A SUCH-LIKE PRODUCT

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device for supporting a roller-blind or a such-like product, said device comprising a base-plate which can be mounted on a vertical and/or horizontal wall, said base-plate being provided with means for supporting an end-portion of a roller-blind, means being provided for adjusting the position of said end-portion, said means comprising at least a screw like element which can be rotated from the outside by means of a screw driver or such like.

[0002] Although in what follows there is spoken of a roller-blind it will be obvious that by this also other such-like products can be meant.

[0003] In case of the device known by EP 1 881 149 A2 said screw like element serves for displacement of a tube being suitable for co-operating with an end-portion of a roller-blind.

[0004] A disadvantage of this construction is, that the end of said roller-blind has to be adapted to said tube so that this end has to be executed in a special way and so said known device is not suitable for use with standard roller-blinds. Further by use of said tube there will be a relative large distance between the base-plate and the end of ssaid tube, so that there will be a relative large gap between said roller-blind and the window-frame when the roller-blind is in use.

[0005] Now the object of the invention is to remove these disadvantages and to that end a device according to the invention is characterized in that said base-plate is provided with a support-plate lying direct either indirectly
against it, said support-plate being movable in the horizontal direction, as seen in the mounted position of said base-plate, and comprising an obliquely upward extending part, a receiving member being supported by said part and lying as well directly or indirectly against said base-plate and being provided with a sleeve or such like for receiving an end-portion of said roller-blind, means being provided for moving said support-plate, said means being attainable when said roller-blind is present.

[0006] In this way it is obtained that by moving said support-plate from the outside, said receiving member can be moved upward either downward. In this way the position of said roller-blind can be adapted if necessary, such that this will be in the desired horizontal position.

[0007] The means for moving said support-plate might consist of a rotatable mounted gear wheel, being connected to a vertical directed shaft which can be rotated from the outside and co-operates with a toothing of a sliding-block being coupled with said support-plate and being mounted such that it is movable in horizontal direction.

[0008] In this way a self-locking driving can be obtained, such that said support-plate will remain in a fixed position after having been adjusted.

[0009] Although it is possible to form said sliding-block and said support-plate as one whole it is preferred that for coupling said sliding-block to the support-plate the upper surface of said sliding-block will be provided with a toothing engaging a corresponding toothing provided in the bottom surface of said support-plate.

[0010] The invention is further elucidated with the help of an embodiment, shown in the drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of a device according to the invention;

Fig. 2 shows a side view of the device of fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 shows a view from the left side of the device according to fig. 2, in which, however, the cover cap, in particular mounted in fig. 1, is removed.

[0011] The device, shown in the figures, comprises the base-plate 1, provided with holes either slots 2 for receiving screws for mounting said base-plate on a, not shown, vertical and/or horizontal wall.

[0012] On the base-plate 1 a support-plate 3 is slidable mounted with an intermediate mounting plate 4. Said support-plate 3 comprises the obliquely upward extending part 5, on which the receiving member 6 rests. Said receiving member 6 is provided with a sleeve 7 in which the end-portion 8 of a, not further shown, roller-blind might be received.

[0013] The support-plate 3 and said receiving member 6 are covered by means of the cover cap 9, which can be fixed on said base-plate 1 by means of screws and nuts 10. Together with these the mounting plate 4 is fixed.

[0014] For moving said support plate 3 a gear wheel 11 is provided, being fixedly connected to the vertical extending shaft 12, being rotatable supported by said mounting plate 4.

[0015] Said gear wheel 11 co-operates with the toothing 13 of a sliding block 14. The upper surface 15 of said sliding block 14 is provided with a toothing 16 co-operating with a toothing 17 provided in the bottom surface of said support-plate 3.

[0016] The shaft 12 of said gear wheel 11 is attainable from below by means of a screw driver while said roller-blind is present.

[0017] Caused by this the position of said support-plate 3 can be adjusted very accurate and by this the position of said end-portion 8 of said roller-blind without removing said roller-blind.
