Abstract

The present invention relates to a roll type blind mounted in a window for preventing light from being introduced from the outside or leaking from the inside of a room. In the blind for adjusting height and brightness made of a thick blind material according to the present invention, an inner blind material and an outer blind material of the thick blind material hang down in a tensed state by a pre-weight element and they always keep an equal width therebetween.

Claims (13)

1. A blind for adjusting height and brightness made of thick material comprising:

a blind sheet ( 7 ) including an inner blind material ( 7 a ) and an outer blind material ( 7 b );

an upper supporting bar ( 2 );

a winding rod ( 4 ) on which the blind sheet ( 7 ) is wound;

a pre-weight element ( 10 ) secured on a loop part formed between the inner blind material ( 7 a ) and the outer blind material ( 7 b ) to stretch the blind sheet ( 7 ) with tension; and

a rotation piece ( 11 ) having a first end coupled with the upper supporting bar ( 2 ) to rotate by a rotation element ( 12 ) and a second end in contact with the inner blind material ( 7 a ) wound on the winding rod ( 4 );

wherein an end of the inner blind material ( 7 a ) is fixed on the winding rod ( 4 ) and an end of the outer blind material ( 7 b ) is fixed on an external surface of the rotation piece ( 11 ).

2. The blind as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotation element ( 12 ) includes a first holding part ( 13 a ) formed at an end of the upper supporting bar ( 2 ) and a second holding part ( 13 b ) formed at the first end of the rotation piece ( 11 ) to be fitted into the first holding part ( 13 a ) of the upper supporting bar ( 2 ).

3. The blind as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotation element ( 12 ) is one or more hinges ( 14 ) provided between the upper supporting bar ( 2 ) and the rotation piece ( 11 ).

4. The blind as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the hinges ( 14 ) include insertion balls ( 15 a , 15 b ), which are respectively formed at the end of the upper supporting bar ( 2 ) and at the first end of the rotation piece ( 11 ), and holding elements ( 17 ) axially coupled with each other to rotate relatively and to receive the insertion balls ( 15 a , 15 b ) therein.

5. The blind as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a fiber protecting element ( 18 ) is further provided at the second end of the rotation piece ( 11 ) to be in contact with the inner blind material ( 7 a ) wound on the winding rod ( 4 ).

6. The blind as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the fiber protecting element ( 18 ) is a roller rotatively mounted on the second end of the rotation piece ( 11 ).

7. The blind as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the fiber protecting element ( 18 ) is made of soft hair and fixed on an inner surface of the rotation piece ( 11 ) to be in contact with the inner blind material ( 7 a ).
