Top-down bottom-up window covering
A top-down bottom-up window covering includes a first beam and a second beam, which are sequentially provided below a fixture, and a covering material connecting the first beam and the second beam. A first lifting structure is installed in the first beam, and a second lifting structure is installed in the second beam. The first lifting structure is adapted to operate as the first beam is being controlled to move toward or away from the fixture, and the second lifting structure is adapted to operate as the second beam is being controlled to move toward or away from the fixture. Thus, the top-down bottom-up window covering can be easily assembled and maintained.
1. A top-down bottom-up window covering, which is adapted to be installed at a fixture; the top-down bottom-up window covering comprising:
a first beam, which is adapted to be located below the fixture when the top-down bottom-up window covering is installed at the fixture;
a second beam located below the first beam;
a covering material, of which an end is connected to the first beam, and another end is connected to the second beam;
a first lifting structure, which is provided in the first beam, wherein the first lifting structure comprises at least a first pulling cord and a first movable member; the first pulling cord is adapted to be fixedly connected to the fixture with an end thereof when the top-down bottom-up window covering is installed at the fixture; the first pulling cord goes into the first beam and gets linked to the first movable member in a manner that the first pulling cord and the first movable member are adapted to be moved concurrently by each other; and
a second lifting structure, which is provided in the second beam, wherein the second lifting structure comprises at least two second pulling cords and a second movable member; when the top-down bottom-up window covering is installed at the fixture, each of the second pulling cords is adapted to be fixedly connected to the fixture with an end thereof; each of the second pulling cords directly passes through the first beam without making any turns, goes into the second beam, and gets linked to the second movable member in a manner that the second pulling cords and the second movable member are adapted to be moved concurrently by each other; when the top-down bottom-up window covering is installed at the fixture and when the second beam is moved toward or away from the fixture, the second movable member is correspondingly moved in the second beam;
wherein when the top-down bottom-up window covering is installed at the fixture and when the first beam moves toward or away from the fixture, the first movable member is correspondingly moved in the first beam with a reciprocating path of the first movable member restricted between the two second pulling cords.
2. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first movable member and the second movable member has a flexible wing, and at least one of the first beam and the second beam has a guiding slot on an inner wall thereof; the flexible wing is received in the guiding slot.
3. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 1 , wherein the first lifting structure comprises a first direction-changing member and a first cord-dividing pulley; the first direction-changing member is fixed in the first beam; the first cord-dividing pulley is provided on the first movable member; the first pulling cord goes around the first direction-changing member and the first cord-dividing pulley.
4. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 1 , wherein the second lifting structure comprises a second direction-changing member and a second cord-dividing pulley; the second direction-changing member is fixed in the second beam; the second cord-dividing pulley is provided on the second movable member; each of the second pulling cords goes around the second direction-changing member and the second cord-dividing pulley.
5. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 1 , wherein the first lifting structure comprises a first connecting cord, a first cord reel, and a first pre-force structure; two ends of the first connecting cord are fixedly connected to the first cord reel and the first movable member, respectively; the first cord reel is adapted to be rotated to reel in or release the first connecting cord; the first pre-force structure and the first cord reel are provided in a linked manner that the first pre-force structure and the first cord reel are adapted to be moved concurrently by each other; when the top-down bottom-up window covering is installed at the fixture and when the first beam is moved in a direction away from the fixture, the first pulling cord pulls the first movable member, so that the first cord reel is rotated to release the first connecting cord.
6. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 5 , wherein an end of the first cord reel is connected to a first driving gear; the first pre-force structure comprises a spring-winding wheel, a spring-holding wheel, and a coil spring, wherein an end of the spring-winding wheel is connected to a first driven gear, which meshes with the first driving gear; two ends of the coil spring are respectively connected to the spring-winding wheel and the spring-holding wheel; rounds of the coil spring being wound around the spring-winding wheel and the spring-holding wheel change along with a change in rotation directions of the spring-winding wheel and the spring-holding wheel.
7. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 5 , wherein the first cord reel is conical, and is provided in the first beam in an upright and rotatable manner.
8. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 1 , wherein the second lifting structure comprises a second connecting cord, a second cord reel, and a second pre-force structure; two ends of the second connecting cord are fixedly connected to the second cord reel and the second movable member, respectively; the second cord reel is adapted to be rotated to reel in or release the second connecting cord; the second pre-force structure and the second cord reel are provided in a linked manner that the second pre-force structure and the second cord reel are adapted to be moved concurrently by each other; when the second beam is moved in a direction away from the first beam, the second pulling cords pull the second movable member, so that the second cord reel is rotated to release the second connecting cord.
9. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 8 , wherein an end of the second cord reel is connected to a second driving gear; the second pre-force structure comprises a spring-winding wheel, a spring-holding wheel, and a coil spring, wherein an end of the spring-winding wheel is connected to a second driven gear, which meshed with the second driving gear; two ends of the coil spring are respectively connected to the spring-winding wheel and the spring-holding wheel; rounds of the coil spring wound around the spring-winding wheel and the spring-holding wheel change along with a change in rotation directions of the spring-winding wheel and the spring-holding wheel.
10. The top-down bottom-up window covering of claim 8 , wherein the second cord reel is conical, and is provided in the second beam in an upright and rotatable manner.
