Title:
VERTICAL BLIND WITH INTEGRATED CURTAIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/155675
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vertical blind with an integrated curtain that includes a plurality of light blocking portions and curtain portions woven integrally and perpendicularly to each other. The vertical blind is constituted of the light blocking portion that has a cross section formed of two sheets of woven light blocking portions, or one sheet of a woven light blocking portion and 1 curtain portion formed as a mesh, wherein the two sheets are woven perpendicularly to each other in a regular and repeating woven pattern. The basic concept is to use a convenient weaving method similar to that of weaving a spider web, by using cloth strips of uniform width, without the need to discriminate between weft and warp. A woven integrated structure, of light blocking portions and curtain portions using cloth strips of uniform width, is thus formed without seams, sewing, or the introduction of any adhesives. The integrating structure between the light blocking portion and curtain portion forms verticality in the light blocking portion, and surface tension formed in the curtain portion is employed to form a natural curvature of the curtain portion, thereby maintaining a columnar formation of the uniform curtain portions. By applying the above to a typical vertical blind structure, a weaving technology employing uniformly wide strips of cloth for forming a vertical structure without the use of an adhesive to adjust the amount of transmitted natural light and wind, and a cloth using the technology can be realized.
