Abstract

A window shade cutting apparatus includes a hollow frame which has a base, a front wall, a rear wall and a plurality of side walls to hold a shade guiding assembly, a cutter assembly located above the shade guiding assembly and coupled therewith, a clipping assembly located at one side of the base and a shade measuring assembly located at another side of the base. The cutter assembly has a transmission screw bar to drive a first toggle lever set and a second toggle lever set at two opposite sides to move a cutter vertically up and down to cut off a window shade easily with less effort.

Claims (32)

1. A window shade cutting apparatus, comprising at least:

a frame having at least one side wall for anchoring, a base and a shade guiding assembly mounted onto the base, the shade guiding assembly having a cavity to receive a window shade;

a cutter assembly which is located above the shade guiding assembly and has one end fastened to the side wall and includes at least a transmission screw bar, a first toggle lever set and a second toggle lever set hinged on two sides of the transmission screw bar corresponding to each other to move a cutter up and down;

a clipping assembly including at least a first track and a second track that are wedged respectively by a bracing dock, and a first clipping member and a second clipping member located at two ends of the base, the second clipping member being coupled with a screw bar for fine tuning thereof; and

a shade measuring assembly which is located at another side of the base and includes an anchor member, a holding member fastened to the anchor member and a movable member pivotally coupled with the anchor member.

2. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transmission screw bar has a first external thread portion and a second external thread portion at two sides thereof, the second external thread portion having one end extended to form a strut.

3. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the strut is coupled with a first handle to perform transmission.

4. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the strut is pivotally coupled with a power driving means to perform transmission.

5. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first toggle lever set and the second toggle lever set are opposing to each other, and include at least a first toggle lever, a second toggle lever, a coupling member, a screw nut, a latch clip and two plugs.

6. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first toggle lever and the second toggle lever have respectively a hinged end hinged on the coupling member and an engaging end engageable with each other to perform transmission, and a pin hole corresponding to a fastening hole and the cutter assembly.

7. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the coupling member is coupled with the hinged end to form turning about an axis and has an axle through hole and a recess on each of two sides thereof to be coupled with a plug.

8. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the screw nut is located at an outer side of the coupling member and has a screw hole formed therein and an anchor wall at one side.

9. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the latch clip has an arched portion and two flanges at two sides.

10. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cutter is located at a lower side of the first toggle lever set and the second toggle lever set and directed vertically downwards, and includes at least a fastening plate, a bridging plate fastened to a lower side of the fastening plate, a blade holding dock fastened to a lower side of the bridging plate and a blade located on the blade holding dock that has a cutting edge at the bottom thereof.

11. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the fastening plate has an upper clipping space at an upper side and a fastening end at a lower side, the fastening end having a diagonal elastic reed extended from one side and a lower edge thereof.

12. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shade guiding assembly has a spacer at a lower side that has a lower cutting surface formed thereon and two sides fastened respectively to a holding plank to form a side guide therebetween.

13. A window shade cutting apparatus, comprising at least:

a frame having at least one side wall for anchoring, a base and a shade guiding assembly mounted onto the base, the shade guiding assembly having a cavity to receive a window shade;

a cutter assembly which is located above the shade guiding assembly and has one end fastened to the side wall and includes at least a transmission screw bar, a first toggle lever set and a second toggle lever set hinged on two sides of the transmission screw bar corresponding to each other to move a cutter up and down;

a clipping assembly including at least a first track and a second track that are wedged respectively by a bracing dock and a first clipping member and a second clipping member located at two ends of the base, the second clipping member being coupled with a screw bar for fine tuning thereof; and

a shade measuring assembly which includes at least a track, a slider and a stopper located on the slider and rotatable thereon.

14. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the transmission screw bar has a first external thread portion and a second external thread portion at two sides, the second external thread portion having one end extended to form a strut.

15. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the strut is coupled with a first handle to perform transmission.

16. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the strut is coupled with a power driving means to perform transmission.

17. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the first toggle lever set and the second toggle lever set are opposing each other, and include at least a first toggle lever, a second toggle lever, a coupling member, a screw nut, a latch clip and two plugs.

18. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the first toggle lever and the second toggle lever have respectively a hinged end hinged on the coupling member and an engaging end engageable with each other to perform transmission, and a pin hole corresponding to a fastening hole ( 231 , 241 ) and the cutter assembly.

19. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the coupling member is coupled with the hinged end to form turning about an axis and has an axle through hole and a recess on each of two sides thereof to be coupled with a plug.

20. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the screw nut is located at an outer side of the coupling member and has a screw hole formed thereon and an anchor wall at one side.

21. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the latch clip has an arched portion and two flanges at two sides.

22. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the cutter is located at a lower side of the first toggle lever set and the second toggle lever set and directed vertically downwards, and includes at least a fastening plate, a bridging plate fastened to a lower side of the fastening plate, a blade holding dock fastened to a lower side of the bridging plate and a blade located on the blade holding dock that has a cutting edge at the bottom thereof.

23. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the fastening plate has an upper clipping space at an upper side and a fastening end at a lower side thereof.

24. The window shade cutting apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the shade guiding assembly has a spacer at a lower side that has a lower cutting surface formed thereon, and two sides fastened respectively to a holding plank to form a side guide therebetween.
