[001] The present invention relates to an operating device and a lifting device that have a fail-safe function and, more specifically, to (1) a device for operating a sunlight obstruction device in which an endless operating cord suspended by a pulley is operated to perform a lifting operation or an operation to transfer a limb from obstructing sunlight; (2) a device for operating a sunlight blocking device that supports an upper box between surfaces of opposite walls; and (3) a device for lifting a rolling shutter in which a lower end of a web is wrapped around a weight bar and unrolled by a lifting cord to allow the web to move up and down. Prior Art (1) On an operating device equipped with a fail-safe function.
[002] As a type of horizontal blinds operating device, one is known in which an operating cord is suspended by a pulley supported by an upper box, in order to be able to rotate, and lifting or lowering operations are carried out and angular blade adjustment operations through operations of the operating cord.
[003] In this horizontal blind, the pulley is supported on a front surface on one side of the upper box, in order to be able to rotate, and the pulley is covered with a pulley box. When the operating cord suspended by the pulley is operated, the pulley is rotated and a drive shaft is rotated based on the rotation of the pulley through a gearbox inside the upper box.
[004] When the movement axis is rotated, a lower rail is raised or lowered by means of a lifting cord, in order to raise or lower the blades. In addition, the blades are rotated by means of a ladder cord.
[005] In the horizontal blind mentioned above, the cord of endless operation is sometimes captured in a protection or domestic article, in such a way that its movement is unduly restricted. Therefore, an operating device is proposed in which, when the operating cord is pulled with greater force than the operating force applied in normal operations, the pulley is forced to fall from the upper box, so as not to obstruct the movement of the bulkhead.
[006] Patent document 1 describes an operating device that is equipped with a fail-safe function in which, by applying excessive pulling force down to the operating cord, the pulley and pulley case are carried the fall, in order to avoid obstructing the behavior of a bulkhead due to an accidental engagement of the operating cord. (2) On a box in which a horizontal blind is arranged in a bathroom.
[007] Conventionally, when a horizontal blind is arranged in a bathroom, as it is not possible to fix a fixing handle to support an upper box on a wall surface by means of a screw, in practice a fixing device is used that fixes the top box between opposite wall surfaces.
[008] Patent document 2 describes a fixing device in which a movable shaft is provided at an end part of an upper box, in order to be able to protrude and retract, a protruding length of the movable axis to from the end of the upper case it is adjusted by a disc rotation operation, in such a way that the upper case is held provisionally between the wall surfaces and then the movable shaft is pressed forcibly against the wall surface by means of the rotation of an operating lever, in order to fix the upper box between the wall surfaces.
[009] In this horizontal blind, the operation of raising or lowering and the operation of angular adjustment of blades are carried out by means of the operation of a ball chain (operating cord) suspended from one end of the upper box sustained between the surfaces of Wall. (3) On a rolling shutter.
[010] On a rolling shutter, an upper end of a mesh is attached to an upper box and a lower end of the mesh is attached to a round bar-shaped weight bar. A lifting cord for raising and lowering the screen is attached, at one of its ends, to a rear surface of the upper box and, at the other end, to a winding axis in the upper box, so that it can be wound by middle of a position below the weight bar. The weight bar is supported by the lifting cord which is wrapped around its bottom.
[011] When the winding axis is rotated by an operating device, the lifting cord is wound around the winding axis in such a way that the weight bar moves upwards when winding the screen. When rotating the winding shaft to unwind the lifting cord from the winding shaft, the weight bar moves downwards when unrolling the screen.
[012] Patent document 3 describes a roller blind when using a thin roller blind as a screen. Prior Art Documents Patent Documents Patent Document 1: US Patent 6,116,325. Patent Document 2: JP 2001-207754A. Patent Document 3: JP 2006-283320A. Patent Document 4: US Patent 6,845,803. Summary of the Invention Problems to be solved by the present invention: (4) On an operating device equipped with a fail-safe function.
[013] With the operating device described in Patent Document 1, if there is an increase in the load on the drive shaft, even in normal use, in such a way that the pulling force applied to the operating cord increases, there is a possibility that the pulley and the pulley box fall off.
[014] When the pulley and the pulley box fall, it is necessary to define the operating cord on the pulley again and fix the pulley and the pulley box to the upper box, which is a complicated job.
[015] An objective according to a first aspect of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a device for operating a sunlight blocking device that is equipped with a fail-safe function, so as not to harm the behavior of a bulkhead or similar and, in a normal operation, avoid unnecessary activation of the fail-safe function in order to be able to carry out improved operability. (5) On a box in which a horizontal blind is arranged in a bathroom.
[016] With the horizontal blind mentioned above, when in a state where the blades are raised to their upper limit, the ball chain is additionally operated in one direction to raise the blades and an excessively large pulling force is applied to the chain of balls. As a result, the problem arises of falling from the upper box or breaking of a blade operating device in the upper box.

The locking device is configured in such a way that a connection state of the lift cord and the upper housing is canceled by applying an excessively large pulling force to the lift cord.
[020] There is, however, a problem that, if excessively large force is applied to the lifting cord in a blind lifting operation, the locking device is sometimes split, such that the lower rail falls.

[084] Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below. Although embodiments of the first to third aspects of the present invention are described for the sake of convenience, embodiments that have two or more of the characteristics of the first to third aspects are also viable. Consequently, the realizations based on the first to third aspects of the present invention shown below can be combined with each other. In addition, with respect to the reference symbols assigned to the elements, the same numbers are sometimes assigned to different elements in different realizations. First realization of a first aspect of the present invention:
[085] A first embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention according to the figures will be described below. In a pleated fabric shown in figures 1 and 2, an upper fabric 2 is suspended from an upper box 1 and an intermediate rail 3 is attached to a lower end of the upper fabric 2. A lower fabric 4 is suspended from the intermediate rail 3 and a bottom rail 5 is attached to a bottom end of the bottom screen 4.
[086] The upper screen 2 is made of translucent material such as interlaced fabric, in order to be foldable in the form of a zigzag, and the lower screen 4 is made of a material that has light-blocking properties, in order to be foldable. in the form of a zigzag.
[087] First and second lifting strands 6, 7 are inserted at the two ends of the upper web 2 towards their width and the lower end of the first lifting strand 6 is attached to the intermediate rail 3. The second lifting strand 7 passes through the intermediate rail 3 and is additionally inserted into the lower screen 4 and one of its lower ends is connected to the lower rail 5.
[088] The upper ends of the first and second lifting strands 6, 7 are wound around the first and second winding axes 9, 10, respectively, and attached to them, the first and second winding axes 9, 10 are supported inside the upper box 1 by a support member 8, so that they are able to rotate. This means that, as shown in Fig. 2, the winding axes 9, 10 are supported inside the upper box 1, so that they can be rotated by the support member 8 in a state in which they extend parallel to each other in a position above the first and second lifting cords 6, 7.
[089] The upper end portion of the first lifting cord 6 is wound around the first winding axis 9, the upper end portion of the second lifting cord 7 is wound around the second winding axis 10 and the first and second lift strands 6, 7 are wound in opposite directions around the first and second winding axes 9, 10. In addition, the first and second lift strands 6, 7 are configured to be wound or unwound helical shape based on the rotations of the first and second winding axes 9, 10.
[090] A first drive axis 11 in the shape of a hexagonal pole is inserted into the first winding axis 9, so that they cannot rotate with each other and, similarly, a second drive axis 12 with a hexagonal pole shape is inserted on the second winding axis 10, so that they cannot rotate with each other. They are configured in such a way that when the first axis of movement 11 rotates in the direction of elevation of the first lifting cord 6, the first lifting cord 6 is wound around the first winding axis 9 and, when the second movement 12 rotates in the lifting direction of the second lifting cord 7, the second lifting cord 7 is wound around the second winding axis 10.
[091] To an end portion of the upper box 1, an operating device 13 configured to rotate the first and second drive axes 11, 12. is connected. As shown in Fig. 3, a pulley 15 is supported so as to be capable of pivoting on a base end side inside a box 14 of the operating device 13 and a chain of balls 16 of the endless type is mounted on the pulley 15 and suspended downwardly thereafter. The pulley 15 can be operated to rotate by operating the ball chain 16.
[092] As shown in Fig. 4, the pulley 15 is equipped with a gear shaft 17 and a limit spring 18 composed of a helical torsion spring, in order to be equipped with a torsion force limiter function. This means that the gear shaft 17 is supported in order to be able to rotate through the housing 14 and the limit spring 18 is mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the gear shaft 17. In addition, the gear shaft 17 is inserted into the pulley 15 with tubular shape and, as shown in Fig. 5, the two rear portions of the limit spring 18 are fitted with locking parts 15a formed on an inner peripheral surface of the pulley 15.
[093] In the above configuration, the pulley 15 and the gear shaft 17 generally rotate integrally with each other based on a frictional force between the limit spring 18 and the gear shaft 17. In addition, in a state in which a load exerted on the gear shaft 17 increases and, therefore, the rotation of the gear shaft is inhibited, the limit spring 18 runs in false with respect to the gear shaft 17.
[094] A gear 17a is integrally formed with the gear shaft 17 and a transmission gear 19 sustained so that it can be rotated by the box 14 intertwined with the gear 17a. When the pulley 15 rotates, therefore, the transmission gear 19 rotates.
[095] A pair of first and second clutch gears 20, 21 intertwine with the transmission gear 19, in which the clutch gears 20, 21 are supported so that they can be rotated by box 14 on both sides in radial direction of the transmission gear 19. When turning the transmission gear 19, the first and second clutch gears 20, 21 rotate in the same direction.
[096] On a front end side of box 14, first and second transmission clutches (clutch devices) 22, 23 of the same configuration are housed and input shafts 24 of the first and second transmission clutches 22, 23 are fitted in central parts of the first and second clutch gears 20, 21. By turning the first and second clutch gears 20, 21, therefore, the input shafts 24 of the first and second transmission clutches 22, 23 rotate in the same direction .
[097] The first and second transmission clutches 22, 23 are equipped with a known rotation transmission function in only one direction from each of the input shafts 24 to each of the output shafts 25 and the directions in which the rotations are transmitted are opposite each other. An end portion of the first drive shaft 11 is fitted to an output shaft 25 of the first drive clutch 22 and an end portion of the second drive shaft 12 is fitted to an output shaft 25 of the second drive clutch 23.
[098] In the above configuration, when the ball chain 16 rotates in one direction, only the second drive axis 12 rotates, such that the second winding axis 10 rotates in the winding direction of the second lifting cord 7. In addition furthermore, when the ball chain 16 rotates in the opposite direction, only the first drive axis 11 rotates, such that the first winding axis 9 rotates in one direction to wind the first lifting cord 6.
[099] The first and second movement axes 11, 12 are inserted in a stop device 26 in an intermediate part of the upper head 1. The stop device 26 has a known function of switching between a state in which the fall is prevented by gravity of the intermediate rail 3 and the lower rail 5 when the ball chain 16 is released after carrying out a lifting operation of the intermediate rail 3 or the lower rail 5 and a state in which the gravity fall of each one is allowed between the intermediate rail 3 and the lower rail. [100] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first and second axes of movement 11, 12 are inserted in steering devices 27, 28, respectively, in a position lateral to the stop device 26. The steering devices 27, 28 control the rotation speed of the first and second movement axes 11, 12, less than or equal to a previously determined value, in order to suppress the lowering speed of the intermediate rail 3 and the lower rail 5 during their fall by gravity. [101] On another end of the upper head 1, a lower limit device 29 is arranged to define the maximum amount of unwinding of the second lifting cord 7 from the second winding axis 10, in order to define a lower limit position. of the lower rail 5. [102] Next, a specific configuration of the ball chain 16 will be described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7. As shown in Fig. 6, the ball chain 16 is equipped with a cord 30 made of polyester, on which the balls 31 are molded with a synthetic resin at regular intervals. Each of the balls 31 is formed in such a way that a solid body with a prolate spheroid shape is formed by a modeling machine on a surface of the cord 30, such that each ball 31 is fixed to the cord 30 immovably. [103] The two rear parts of the cord 30 are coupled together by means of a coupling section 32, so that the ball chain 16 is formed in an endless type. As shown in Fig. 7, the coupling section 32 has a configuration in which two first coupling members 33 with the same structure are coupled by means of a second coupling member 34 with a tubular shape. [104] The first coupling member 33 is configured in such a way that a hemispherical part 36 that has the shape of a half of the ball 31 is formed by molding “outsert” technology (injection type) s on one end of a coupling strand 35 made of the same material as strand 30 and a first locking part 37 is formed on another end. A ball 38 with the same shape as the ball 31 is fixed between the hemispherical part 36 and the first fitting part 37 and a distance between the first fitting part 37 and the ball 38, as well as a distance between the ball 38 and the fitting part hemispherical 36, are identical to the distance between the balls 31. [105] The hemispheric part 36 and the first fitting part 37 are molded on the two rear parts of the coupling cord 35 with the same synthetic resin as the ball 31. A part of base end of first fitting part 37 is formed in the same hemispherical shape as ball end part 31 and a convex fitting part 39 of a round rod shape is formed by molding of “outsert” technology (type by injection) on a front end part of the first groove part 37. [106] On a peripheral surface of a front end part of the convex groove part 39, diametrically thickened parts 40 are formed symmetrically in li with respect to a center of the round rod and a groove 41 with a semicircular cross section is formed in an intermediate part of each of the diametrically thickened parts 40. In a base end part of the convex fitting part 39, in which each of the rotation restriction parts 42 that protrude in a radial direction of the round rod are formed symmetrically in line with respect to the center. In addition, each rotation restriction part 42 is formed at a distance 45 degrees from the groove 41 in the direction of circumference with respect to the center of the convex fitting part 39. [107] The second coupling member 34 is molded with the same synthetic resin of the first insert part 37 and the balls 31, 38 in a tubular shape and opening parts 43 on both sides are formed in the form of a trunk that allows the insertion of a front end part of the convex insert part 39 which includes the diametrically thickened part 40. In addition, the opening parts 43 are shaped in such a way that the directions of the trunk shapes are rotated 90 degrees with respect to the center of the tube. [108] In order to couple the first coupling member 33 and the second coupling member 34 with each other, the convex fitting part 39 of the first fitting part 37 is inserted into one of the opening parts 43 of the second coupling member 34 and then the first locking part 37 is rotated ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the second coupling member 34. [109] In addition, in another opening part 43 of the second coupling member 34, the locking convex 39 of the first coupling member 33 is inserted and rotated 90 degrees so that it is positioned. In this way, as shown in Fig. 6, the first coupling members 33 are coupled together with the second coupling member 34 between them. [110] In this state, the diametrically thickened part 40 of the convex fitting part 39 of each first coupling member is maintained within the second coupling member 34. A holding force for this is defined in such a way that the convex part of notch 39 does not come out of the second coupling member 34 with a force exerted on it when a part of the ball chain 16 suspended from the pulley 15 is pushed down in a usual operation of raising or lowering the web. In addition, if the rotation of the first drive axis 11 or the second drive axis 12 is hampered, in such a way that the operating force of the ball chain 16 is increased and, thereby, a twisting force exerted on the pulley 15 by the force exceeds a sliding torsional force of a torsional force limiter incorporated in the pulley 15, the torsional force limiter is activated. Consequently, the pulley 15 and the gear shaft 17 run in a false way, in such a way that a great pulling force is not applied to the ball chain 16. In one example, the maximum value of the sliding torsional force of the force limiter torsional torque is set to 65 N-cm, the radius of the pulley 15 is set to 10.2 mm and the minimum value of a force for dividing the ball chain (corresponding to a first pulling force) is set to 65 N. In this case, the torsional force exerted on the pulley 15 from the ball chain 16 is at least 66.3 N-cm, which exceeds the sliding torsional force (65 N-cm) of the force limiter. torsion, in order to avoid the application of excessive pulling force to the coupling section 32 of the ball chain 16, which provides the advantage of avoiding the unnecessary division of the coupling section 32 in a normal operation. [112] On the other hand, when the ball chain 16 is captured on a bulkhead or the like, in such a way that a large pulling force is applied (first pulling force; 65 N to 95 N in this embodiment) that exceeds a force of usual pulling on the two parts of the ball chain 16 suspended from the pulley 15, the opening part 43 is expanded by the diametrically thickened parts 40 of the convex fitting part 39 due to the elasticity of the synthetic resin of the second coupling member 34. Consequently , the convex fitting part 39 exits the second coupling member 34. [113] An external shape in a state where the first fitting parts 37 are fitted on both sides of the second coupling member 34 is defined to be the same of the ball 31. The hemispherical parts 36 of the first coupling members 33 are fused to hemispherical parts 31 formed by molding “outsert” technology (injection type) on the two ends of the cord o 30, in order to form balls that have the same shape as the ball 31. When the first coupling members 33 are coupled together by means of the second coupling member 34, the chain of balls 16 of the endless type is formed. [114] In the ball chain 16 configured in this way, balls of the same shape are formed at regular intervals along the entire length of the cord 30 of the ball chain 16 and the coupling cord 35 of the coupling section 32. The chain of balls 16 can therefore be rotated endlessly around the pulley 15. [115] The behavior of the pleated fabric configured as described above will now be described. When a part of the ball chain 16 is pulled down, only the second drive axis 12 rotates, such that the second lift cord 7 is wound around the second winding axis 10 and thus the lower rail 5 is raised. When the ball chain 16 is released after raising the lower rail 5 to a desired level, the lower rail 5 is maintained at the desired level due to the function of the stopping device 26 to prevent falling by gravity. [116] When the ball chain 16 in this state is pulled in one direction and then released, the function to prevent the gravity drop of the stop device 26 is canceled, in such a way that the lower rail 5 is lowered by means of gravity drop. When the other part of the ball chain 16 is pushed down, only the first drive axis 11 rotates, such that the first lifting cord 6 is wound around the first winding axis 9 and therefore the intermediate rail 3 is high. When the ball chain 16 is released after lifting the intermediate rail 3 to a desired level, the intermediate rail 3 is maintained at the desired level due to the function of the stopping device 26 to prevent falling by gravity. [117] When the ball chain 16 in this state is pulled in the other direction and then released, the function to prevent the gravity drop of the stop device 26 is canceled, in such a way that the intermediate rail 3 is lowered due to the fall by gravity. With the pleated fabric configured as described above, the following advantages are obtained. [1] In a case where the ball chain 16 is captured in a bulkhead or the like, where the first coupling member 33 and the second coupling member 34 in the coupling section 32 come out of each other. The ball chain 16 can therefore be equipped with a fail-safe function. [2] In a case where a load on the first drive shaft 11 or the second drive shaft 12 increases in order to obstruct its rotation in a normal operation, the pulley 15 operates in false with respect to the gear shaft 17 , in order to avoid applying excessive pulling force to the coupling section 32 of the ball chain 16. It is therefore possible to avoid leaving the coupling section 32 in a normal operation. [3] As it is possible to avoid the unnecessary exit of the coupling section 32 in a normal operation, it is possible to define the low pulling force with which the coupling section 32 comes out and, in this way, causing the coupling section 32 to exit certainly when the chain of balls 16 is captured in a bulkhead or the like. [4] As the pulley 15 is equipped with a torque force limiter function, even if excessive pulling force is applied to the ball chain 16, the pulling force is absorbed by the torque force limiter, in such a way that it is never transmitted to a mechanism in the operating device 13. It is therefore possible to prevent the failure of the operating device 13 due to excessive pulling force. Second embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention: [118] Figs. 8 and 9 show a second embodiment of a torsion force limiter. In the torsion force limiter according to the present embodiment, a disc spring is used in place of the limit spring 18 according to the first embodiment. In Fig. 8, the left side (pulley side 55) is an input side and the right side (gear shaft side 51) is an output side. The pulley 55 is equipped, on one of its external peripheral surfaces, with a series of concave parts 67 configured to fit with the balls of the ball chain 16. A flange 61 is integrally formed with an external peripheral surface on a terminal surface on the input side of pulley 55 in an upward direction. Pulley 55 is molded into a tubular shape towards the outlet side. The pulley 55 is fitted, in an opening on the outlet side, with a friction gear shaft 51, in order to be able to rotate with each other. The pulley side of the gear shaft 51 is formed in a tubular shape and a groove 65 is formed at the front end of its peripheral surface. A convex part 63 is formed on the flange 61. The groove 65 and the convex part 63 fit together so that the gear shaft 51 is supported so that it is able to rotate with respect to the pulley 55. [119 ] In more detail, the gear shaft 51 is supported so as to be able to rotate through a box 14 similar to that of the first embodiment, in which that gear 51a intertwines with the transmission gear 19. A cam member 52 is supported on a front end side of the gear shaft 51, so as to be able to rotate and move in axial direction of the gear shaft 51 and the concave / convex parts 54a, 54b are formed configured so that they are capable of interlocking in the direction of the gear shaft 51, respectively, on opposite side surfaces of the cam member 52 and a flange part 53 of the gear shaft 51 in the direction of circumference. [120] A pulley 55 is fitted so as to be able to rotate on a front end part of gear shaft 51, the pulley having a tubular shape covering cam member 52. Convex parts 56 formed on a surface outer periphery of the cam member 52 at regular intervals fit with the concave parts 57 formed on an inner peripheral surface of the pulley 55, such that the cam member 52 is rotated integrally with the pulley 55 and sustained so as to be able to move axially with respect to pulley 55. [121] A disc spring 58 is disposed between cam member 52 and pulley 55, and cam member 52 is oriented towards flange part 53 in the direction of the gear shaft 51 by the disc spring 58 using the pulley 55 as support. The concave / convex parts 54a, 54b of the cam member 52 and the flange part 53 fit, therefore, due to the guiding force of the disc spring 58, in order to transmit a rotation of the pulley 55 to the gear shaft 51 via cam member 52. [122] In addition, if the rotation of gear shaft 51 is obstructed, cam member 52 runs erratically with respect to gear shaft 51, with the concave / convex part 54a of the cam member obstructing the concave / convex part 54b of the flange part 53. Consequently, even if an excessively large operating torsional force is exerted on the pulley 55, the operating torsional force is absorbed by the false conduction of the cam member 52. With the torsion force limiter configured as described above, advantages similar to those of the torsion force limiter can be obtained in the first embodiment and the following advantage can additionally be obtained. (1) When the cam member 52 runs erroneously with respect to the gear shaft 51, the concave / convex part 54a of the cam member 52 runs erratically while causing obstruction of the concave / convex part 54b of the flange part 53 (middle torsional wave generation). The operator can therefore know the false driving of the pulley 15 by varying the operating force to rotate the pulley 15 and the collision noises generated continuously when the concave / convex part 54a causes obstruction of the concave / convex part 54b . The performance described above can be carried out in the following ways: - the ball chain can be replaced by an operating cord equipped with a fail-safe function; - it is possible to perform on a horizontal blind, rolling curtain, vertical blind and the like, in addition to the pleated fabric; - a coil spring, in which a rubber material that has elasticity can be used for the torsion force limiter in place of the limit spring and the disc spring; e - oil with high viscosity can be placed between the pulley and the gear shaft to obtain a frictional force. Note that the first performance can be carried out in the following ways, as examples of values that offer safety for children: - pulley radius 15: 30 mm; - maximum value of the operating torsional force (sliding torsional force) of the torsional force limiter: 40 N • cm; and - dividing force of the coupling section 32 of the 16: 15 N ball chain (the maximum torsional force exerted on the chain pulley is 45 N-cm). [124] Technical considerations in addition to the claims can be conceived based on the above achievements. Additional statement 1: [125] Operating device for a sunlight blocking device in which a cordless operation cord is suspended from a pulley held in an upper case in order to be able to rotate, and a drive shaft is rotated by means of the pulley based on an operation of the operating cord, in which an obstruction member is directed and the pulley is equipped with a torsion force limiter. First embodiment of a second aspect of the present invention: [126] A first embodiment of a second aspect of the present invention according to the figures will be described below. With reference to Figs. 10 to 12, a horizontal blind comprises a series of blades (sunlight blocking member) 3 supported by ladder cords 2 suspended from an upper box 1 and a lower rail 4 attached to the bottom of the ladder cords 2. [ 127] The lifting cords 5 are inserted through the blades 3 in the vicinity of the positions supported by the ladder cords 2 and the lower rail is suspended from the bottom of the lifting cords 5. The upper end part of each lifting cords 5 it is wound around a winding axis 7 which is supported so that it can be rotated by a support member 6 disposed in the upper box 1. [128] A lifting axis 8 of a hexagonal rod shape is inserted in the axis of winding 7, so that they cannot rotate with each other. When the lifting axis 8 is rotated, the winding axis 7 is rotated and, when the winding axis 7 is rotated in the winding direction of the lifting strands 5, the lifting strands 5 are wound around the winding axis 7 helically, so as to raise the lower rail 4 and the blades 3. When the winding axis 7 is rotated in the direction of the unwinding of the lifting cords 5, the lifting cords 5 are unrolled in order to lower the bottom rail 4 and blades 3. [129] The top end portion of each stair cord 2 is attached to a tilt drum 10 by means of a hook 9 and the tilt drum 10 is supported so that it can rotate in an end portion of the support member 6. A drive gear 11 of a toothed gear is integrally formed on one side of the tilt drum 10. [130] In a position lateral to the support member 6, a support cover 12 is attached to the upper head 1 and the elevation 8 is inserted through the support cover 12. In an oblique position below the elevation axis 8, that is, in a lower corner part of the upper box 1, a hexagonal rod-shaped inclination 13 is supported by the support cover 12, in order to be able to rotate and a drive gear 14 configured to intertwine with the directed gear 11 is equipped with the tilt axis 13 so as not to be able to rotate. When the tilt axis 13 rotates, the tilt drum 10 is rotated by means of the drive gear 14 and the drive gear 11. [131] One end of the lifting shaft 8 is coupled to a first output shaft of a unit of operation 15 which is attached to an end part of the upper housing 1 and an end of the tilt axis 13 is coupled to an output shaft of a tilt unit 16. In addition, an input end of the tilt unit 16 is coupled to a second output shaft of the operating unit 15. [132] A pulley 17 is supported by an end portion of the operating unit 15 and a ball chain 18 is mounted on the pulley 17. When the ball chain 18 is actuated to rotate the pulley 17 forwards or backwards, the lifting axis 8 and the tilting axis 13 rotate. [133] The operating unit 15 is equipped with a pulley rotation deceleration function 17 and its transmission thereafter to the lifting axis 8 and the inclination unit 16, as well as a switching clutch function between a state in the which the gravity drop of the blades 3 and the lower rail 4 is inhibited and a state in which the gravity drop is allowed. The operating unit 15 is additionally equipped with a function to prevent rotation of the lifting axis 8 while the tilting axis 13 is rotated by means of the tilting unit 16. [134] The tilting unit 16 is equipped with rotation functions the tilting axis 13 based on the rotation of the second output axis of the operating unit 15 and the failure to transmit the rotation of the second output axis to the tilting axis 13 when the tilting axis 13 rotates at a predetermined angle, or that is, the blades are rotated to achieve a fully closed or fully open state. [135] The behavior of the horizontal blind equipped with the operating unit 15 and the tilting unit 16 configured in this way will now be described. As shown in Fig. 11, when a part of the ball chain 18 suspended on a front side is pulled down (direction of arrow A), the tilt axis 13 is rotated by means of the operating unit 15 and the inclination 16. [136] Then, the inclination drum 10 rotates according to the rotation of the inclination axis 13 and the blades 3 are rotated by means of the ladder cords 2. At that moment, the blades 3 rotate in such a way that their convex surfaces are located on an internal side of the room. [137] When rotating the tilt axis 13 at a previously determined angle, that is, the blades 3 rotate to the fully open state when they are already in the vertical position, the rotation of the tilt axis 13 is suspended, due to the operation of the tilt unit 16, even if the operation of the ball chain 18 in the same direction continues. [138] In addition, in a period of time until the blades 3 reach the fully closed state, the lifting axis 8 does not rotate due to the work of the operating unit 15. After the blades 3 rotate to the fully closed state, when the ball chain 18 is additionally operated in the direction of arrow A, the lifting axis 8 rotates in such a way that the winding axis 7 rotates in the winding direction of the lifting cords 5. In addition, the lifting cords 5 they are wound around the winding axis 7, such that the lower rail 4 is raised and the blades 3 are raised sequentially by the lower rail 4. [139] When the ball chain 18 is released in a state in which the rail bottom 4 and the blades 3 are raised to a desired level, the rotation of the lifting axis 8 in the direction of unwinding of the lifting cords is obstructed due to the work of the operating unit 15, in such a way that the gravity drop of the lower rail 4 and blades 3 is obstructed and they are maintained at the desired level. [140] As shown in Fig. 11, when a part of the ball chain 18 is pulled down on a rear side (direction of arrow B), the tilt axis 13 is rotated by means of the operating unit 15 and the tilt unit 16. [141] Then, the tilt drum 10 rotates according to the rotation of the tilt axis 13, such that the blades 3 are rotated by means of the ladder cords 2. At that moment, the blades 3 rotate in such a way that their concave surfaces are located on the inner side of the room. [142] When rotating the tilt axis 13 at a predetermined angle, that is, when the blades 3 rotate to the fully closed reverse state where they are almost in a vertical position, the rotation of the tilt axis 13 is suspended , due to the work of the tilt unit 16, even if the ball chain 18 operation continues in the same direction. [143] In a period of time until the blades 3 reach the fully closed reverse state, the lifting axis 8 does not rotate due to the work of the operating unit 15. After rotating the blades 3 to the fully closed reverse state, when the ball chain 18 is additionally pulled in the direction of the arrow B, the lifting axis 8 is allowed to rotate in the direction of the unwinding of the lifting cords due to the work of the operating unit 15, such that the lower rail 4 and blades 3 are lowered due to their weight. [144] When, in a state in which the lower rail 4 and the blades 3 are lowered to a desired level, the ball chain 18 is pulled in the direction of arrow A, in order to establish the blades 3 in the fully closed state and the ball chain 18 is additionally pulled in the same direction and then released, the operating unit 15 is set to a state to obstruct the rotation of the lifting axis 8 in the direction of unwinding of the lifting cords, such that the rail bottom 4 and the blades 3 are kept at the desired level. [145] The first and second fasteners 19a, 19b are fixed to the two ends of the upper box 1 and the upper box 1 is held between opposite wall surfaces 20 by means of the first and second fasteners 19a, 19b. [146] The first clamping device 19a which is attached to a left end part of the upper case has an almost known configuration, in which, by rotating an adjustment dial 21 forward or backward, a thrust shaft 22 protrudes up from upper box 1 or back to it. [147] When an operating lever 23 sustained so that it can be rotated by the thrust shaft 22 rotates in the direction of arrow C in Fig. 12, a coil spring guiding force is applied to a thrust shaft 22 due to a cam mechanism, such that the thrust axis 22 is oriented towards the opposite wall surface 20. [148] The second clamping device 19b is composed of an adjustment axis 24 which is supported in order to be able to protrude from a housing of the operating unit 15 towards the wall surface 20 and retract and a spacer 25 configured to adjust a protrusion length of the adjustment shaft 24. By sliding the spacer 25 up and down down, the protrusion length of the adjustment shaft 24 from the housing of the operating unit 15 can be adjusted. [149] The support parts 26 are fixed, by means of double-sided adhesive tape or similar, to the wall surfaces 20 to which the upper box 1 is attached and the upper box 1 is fixed between the support parts 26 by means of of the first and second clamping devices 19a, 19b. [150] In order to fix the upper box 1 between the wall surfaces 20 by means of the first and second fastening devices 19a, 19b, first, the upper box 1 is maintained between the support parts 26 and, in that state , the two spaces between the ends of the blades 3 and the wall surfaces 20 are adjusted to be approximately equal by means of the adjustment dial 21 and the adjustment axis 24, and then the upper housing 1 is maintained provisionally between the support parts 26. [151] Then, the operating lever 23 rotates in the direction of the arrow C in Fig. 12, in such a way that the thrust axis 22 is pressed against the support part 26 with the force orientation of the coil spring and the adjustment shaft 24 is pressed against the support part 26 with a counteracting force. As a result, the upper box 1 is held between the wall surfaces 20. [152] Furthermore, in a case where a downward force of 30 N (Newtons) is applied to surfaces pressed between the impulse axis 22 and the adjustment axis 24 and the support parts 26 due to a product weight, the impulse axis 22 and the adjustment axis 24 are adjusted in such a way that they are pushed against the support parts 26 with a constant force of about 60 N. Note that the force of 30 N applied to the pressed surfaces between the impulse axis 22 and the adjustment axis 24 and the support parts 26 is considered a force that is applied when a window area covered by the product, that is, the length as well as the number of blades 3 are defined at their maximum values. [153] As shown in Fig. 13, a rotation of the pulley 17 is transmitted to a drive gear 27 which rotates around the same axis of rotation of the pulley 17 and is additionally transmitted from the drive gear 27 by means of the drive mechanism. deceleration and clutch mechanism for the output rod of the operating unit 15. [154] Between the pulley 17 and the drive gear 27, a torsion force limiter is provided that is configured to define a rotational torsion force transmitted from the pulley 17 to the drive gear 27 at a certain value or below it. Describing a specific configuration of the torsion force limiter, the pulley 17 and the moving gear 27 shown in Fig. 14 are supported so that they can rotate around the same axis of rotation and so that they are not able to move. it in a direction of the axis of rotation through the housing of the operating unit 15. A part of the drive gear 27 on one side of the pulley 17 is formed in a tubular shape and a locking part 91 is formed at a front end on its peripheral surface. Slits 93 are formed on both sides of the insert 91 in a circumferential direction. The locking part 91 fits with a convex part formed on the flange of the pulley 17, in such a way that the drive gear 27 is supported so that it is able to rotate with respect to the pulley 17. [155] On a rear side At the base of the drive gear 27, a cam member 28 with a tubular shape is supported so as to be able to rotate, as well as to move in the axial direction of the drive gear 27 and on opposite side surfaces of a flange part 29 of the drive gear 27 and the cam member 28, a concave / convex part 30b, 30a and a concave / convex part 30d, 30c configured so that it is able to interlace in an axial direction of the drive gear 27 are formed, respectively, at regular intervals (60 degree interval with respect to an axis of rotation). [156] The pulley 17 is formed in a tubular shape that can accommodate the cam member 28 and concave / convex parts 31a, 31b configured for interlacing with each other are formed on an inner peripheral surface of the pulley 17 and an outer peripheral surface of the member of cam 28, respectively, at regular intervals in a circumference direction. The cam member 28 is configured so that it can move with respect to the pulley 17 in the axial direction of the drive gear 27 and so that it is not rotatable with respect to the pulley due to a fit of the concave / convex parts 31a, 31b . [157] A coil spring 32 is arranged on the cam member 28 and, as shown in Fig. 15, one end of the coil spring 32 rests on the pulley 17 and the other end rests on a cam member 28. The cam member 28 is oriented towards the flange part 29 of the drive gear 27 due to a guiding force of the coil spring 32 using the pulley 17 as support, such that the concave / convex part 30b, 30a and the concave / convex part 30d, 30c are kept in positions where they are intertwined. In this state, the pulley 17 and the drive gear 27 rotate fully. [158] If a rotating torque greater than the determined value is exerted on the pulley 17 in a state in which a rotation of the drive gear 27 is obstructed, as shown in Fig. 16, the cam member 28 moves towards the pulley 17 against the guiding force of the coil spring 32, in such a way that the entanglement between the concave / convex parts 30a-30d is canceled and, thus, the cam member 28 runs false in relation to the drive gear 27. Each time the cam member 28 rotates 60 degrees, the concave / convex parts interlacing 30a-30d and their cancellation are repeated, such that the cam member 28 runs idle with respect to to drive gear 27. [159] The cancellation of the interlocking of the concave / convex parts 30a-30d is set to occur when the ball chain 18 is pulled down with a force exceeding 60 N to 70 N, taking into account taking into account a tolerance of the torsion force limiter O. [160] As shown in Fig. 17, the ball chain 16 comprises a cord 33 of polyester and balls 34 of a synthetic resin molded on cord 33 at regular intervals. Each of the balls 34 is formed in such a way that a solid body with a prolate spheroid shape is formed by a modeling machine on a surface of the cord 33, in such a way that each ball 34 is fixed to the cord 33 immovably. [161] The two rear parts of the cord 33 are coupled together by means of a coupling section 35, so that the ball chain 18 is formed in an endless type. As shown in Fig. 18, coupling section 35 is composed of a first coupling member 36 and a second coupling member 37. [162] The first coupling member 36 is configured, as shown in Fig. 18, in such a way. so that a hemispherical part 39 slightly larger than half of the ball 34 is formed by molding “outsert” technology (injection type) on one end of a coupling cord 38 of the same material as cord 33 and a first fitting part 40 is formed so as to be solid to its end by molding “outsert” technology (injection type) on another end of the coupling cord. The distance between the hemispherical part 39 and the first fitting part 40 is identical to a distance between the balls 34. [163] A base end part of the first fitting part 40 is formed in a hemispherical shape similar to an end part of the ball 34 and a convex fitting part 41 of a round rod shape is formed on a front end part of the first fitting part 40. A diametrically thickened part 41a of a flange shape is formed on a front end part of the convex fitting part 41 and an outer diameter of the diametrically thickened part 41a is less than the maximum diameter of a base end part of a hemispherical shape. A corner part on a front end end of the diametrically thickened part 41a is formed in the form of a chamfered part 41b. [164] The second coupling member 37 is configured in such a way that a hemispherical part 43 of a half-ball shape 34 is formed on one end of the coupling cord 42 of the same material as the cord 33 and a second fitting part 44 it is formed on another end of the coupling cord 42. The distance between the hemispherical part 43 and the second fitting part 44 is identical to the distance between the balls 34. [165] The hemispheric part 43 and the second fitting part 44 are formed of the same material as the ball 34 by means of molding of “outsert” technology (injection type) on the two rear parts of the cord 33. A base end part of the second fitting part 44 is formed in a hemispherical shape similar to the end part of the ball 34 and a slot 45 is formed in a front end part of the second slot 44. The diameter of the innermost part of the slot 45 is larger than the diameter of its opening part, so it forms a resilient fit with the diametrically thickened part 41a of the convex fitting part 41 and retains it. [166] A depth of the slot 45 is less than half the length of the second slot 44 and the convex slot 41 protrudes to a length equal to the depths of the slot 45. A holding force of the locking hole 45 that supports the locking part 41 is defined in such a way that a locking between the locking part 41 and the locking hole 45 is not broken with a usual pulling force applied to the ball chain 18 in operations for lifting the blades and adjusting the blade angle. [167] Only when a large pulling force that exceeds the usual thrust force is applied to the ball chain 18, the fit between the convex fitting part 41 and the fitting hole 45 is broken due to the elasticity of the synthetic resin. In this embodiment, the groove between the convex groove 41 and the groove 45 is defined to be broken with a pulling force that exceeds a range of 80 N to 90 N. [168] The hemispherical parts 39, 43 of the first and second coupling members 36, 37 are fused to hemispherical parts 34a formed at both ends of the cord 33, so as to form balls of the same size as the ball 34. When the convex fitting part 41 is fitted into the fitting hole 45 , the chain of balls 18 of the endless type is formed. [169] The horizontal blind configured as described above is defined as follows. Considering that a pulling force of the ball chain 18 with which the torsion limiter starts to operate is T, a weight of the blind applied to the first and second clamping devices 19a, 19b is W and a lifting force to support the upper box 1 between the wall surfaces 20 with the thrust force of the first and second clamping devices 19a, 19b is S, a relationship T + W <S. is satisfied. When T is 70 N and W is 30 N, the lift force S is set to a value of more than 100 N. [170] Furthermore, considering that a pulling force with which the coupling section 35 of the ball chain 18 is divided is C, the relationship C is satisfied + W <S. Considering a safety factor for the pulling force of the ball chain 18 with which the torsion force limiter starts to operate, a relationship of (T x safety factor) + W <S can be satisfied The safety factor is defined in “3”, for example, in “5”, considering the reduction of the impulse force d the first and second clamping devices 19a, 19b, or "10", considering a situation in which the ball chain 18 is pulled quickly and furiously. [171] Furthermore, by estimating the safety factor as T + W, a relationship (T + W) x safety factor <S. can be defined. When T is 70 N, W is 30 N and the safety factor is 3, the lift force S is set to 400 N or similar. [172] T (70 N) + W (30 N) <S (110 N) and C (90 N) + W (30 N) <S (140 N) ratios can both be satisfied and, in addition, can considered a safety factor as described above. [173] The behavior of the operating unit 15 configured as described above will now be described. When the ball chain 18 is operated in the direction of arrow A shown in Fig. 11, the blades 3 are first rotated in the direction of the fully closed state and then the blades 3 are raised. When the ball chain 18 is released after raising the blades 3 to a desired level, the gravity drop of the blades 3 and the lower rail 4 is obstructed in such a way that the blades 3 are kept at the desired level. [174] When the ball chain 18 is operated in the direction of the arrow B shown in Fig. 11, the blades 3 are rotated in the direction of the fully closed reverse state. When the ball chain 18 is additionally operated in the same direction after the rotation of the blades 3 to the fully closed reverse state, the blades 3 are lowered due to their weight. [175] When the blades 3 are raised to their upper limit, or when the ball chain 18 is operated in the direction of the lift of the blades 3 in a state in which the elevation of the blades is impossible due to a certain obstacle, in case a pulling force exerted on the ball chain 18 exceeds 70 N, the cam member 28 runs false inside the operating unit 15 with respect to the drive gear 27. [176] With the horizontal blind configured as described above, are obtained the following advantages. [1] Even if an excessively large pulling force is applied to the ball chain 18, the breakage of the operating unit 15 and the blade lifting mechanism can be prevented thanks to the false driving of the drive gear 27 and the drive member. cam 28 inside the operating unit 15. [2] Due to the false driving of the drive gear 27 and the cam member 28 inside the operating unit 15, a pulling force applied downwards to the upper housing 1 with base in a ball chain operation 18 it can be performed at 55 N or less in this embodiment. [3] The total of a weight applied to the upper box 1 and a pulling force applied down to the upper box 1 based on a ball chain operation 18 can be less than a thrust force to support the upper box 1 between the wall surfaces 20 by means of the first and second fixing devices 19a, 19b. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the fall of the upper box 1 during the operation of the ball chain 18. [4] By defining a pulling force with which the engagement of the coupling section 35 of the ball chain 18 is broken less that a pulling force to support the upper box 1 between the wall surfaces 20, when an excessively large pulling force is applied to the ball chain 18, the engagement of the coupling section 35 can be broken, in order to avoid the occurrence drop of the upper box 1. Second embodiment of a second aspect of the present invention: [177] Fig. 19 shows another example of a ball chain coupling section 18. Coupling section 51 has a configuration in which the first two coupling members 52 with the same structure are coupled by means of a second coupling member 53 with tubular shape. The first coupling member 52 is configured in such a way that a hemispherical part 55 that has the shape of a half of the ball 34 is formed by molding “outsert” technology (injection type) on one end of a coupling cord 54 made of the same material as the cord 33, and a first locking part 56 is formed on another end. A ball 57 with the same shape as the ball 34 is fixed between the hemispherical part 55 and the first fitting part 56, and a distance between the first fitting part 56 and the ball 57, as well as a distance between the ball 57 and the hemispherical part 55 are identical to the distance between the balls 34. [179] Hemispheric part 55 and the first fitting part 56 are molded on the two rear parts of the coupling cord 54 with the same synthetic resin as the ball 34. A part of base end of the first fitting part 56 is formed in the same hemispherical shape as a ball end part 34 and a convex fitting part 58 of a round rod shape is formed by molding of “outsert” technology (type by injection) on a front end part of the first fitting part 56. [180] On a peripheral surface of a front end part of the convex fitting part 58, diametrically thickened parts 59 are formed symmetrically with with respect to a center of the round rod and a groove 60 with a semicircular cross section is formed in an intermediate part of each of the diametrically thickened parts 59. In a base end part of the convex fitting part 58, in which each of the parts of rotation restriction 61 that protrudes in a radial direction of the round rod is formed symmetrically with respect to the center. In addition, each rotation restriction part 61 is formed 45 degrees away from the groove 60 in the direction of circumference with respect to the center of the convex fitting part 58. [181] The second coupling member 53 is molded with the same synthetic resin of the first fitting part 56 and the balls 34, 57 in a tubular shape and opening parts 62 on both sides are formed in the form of a trunk that allows the insertion of a front end part of the convex fitting part 58 which includes the diametrically thickened part 59. In addition, the opening parts 62 are shaped such that the directions of the trunk shapes are rotated 90 degrees with respect to the center of the tube. [182] In order to couple the first coupling member 52 and the second coupling member 53, the convex fitting part 58 of the first fitting part 56 is inserted into one of the opening parts 62 of the second coupling member 53 and, then, the first locking part 56 is rotated ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the second coupling member 53. [183] In addition, in another opening part 62 of the second coupling member 53, the convex part of insert 58 of the first coupling member 52 is inserted and rotated 90 degrees so that it is positioned. In this way, the first coupling members 52 are coupled together with the second coupling member 53 between them. In this state, the diametrically thickened part 59 of the convex fitting part 58 of each first coupling member 52 is maintained within the second coupling member 53. A holding force for this is defined in such a way that the convex fitting part 58 do not leave the second coupling member 53 with a pulling force exerted on it when part of the ball chain 18 is pulled down in a normal operation. [185] The hemispherical parts 55 of the first coupling members 52 are fused to hemispherical parts 34a formed by molding “outsert” technology (injection type) on the two ends of the cord 33, in order to form balls that have the same size as ball 34. When the first coupling members 52 are coupled together by means of the second coupling member 53, endless chain ball 18 is formed. [186] In this ball chain 18, if a blade lifting operation 3 is obstructed during normal operation, such that a pulling force to operate the ball chain 18 becomes large (60 N to 70 N in this a torsion force limiter incorporated in the pulley 17 is activated. This means that the pulley 17 and the drive gear 27 run in false with each other, in such a way that excessive pulling force is not applied to the ball chain 18 [187] On the other hand, when the chain of balls 18 is captured on a bulkhead or similar, in such a way that a large pulling force (80 N to 100 N in this embodiment) is applied that exceeds a normal pulling force to the two parts of the ball chain 18 suspended from the pulley 17, the opening part 62 is expanded by the diametrically thickened parts 59 of the convex part 58 due to the elasticity of the synthetic resin of the second coupling member 53. Consequently, the convex part in socket 58 comes out of the second coupling member 53. [188] In the ball chain 18 configured in this way, balls of the same size are formed at regular intervals along the entire length of the cord 33 of the ball chain 18 and the coupling 54 of the coupling section 51. The ball chain 18 can therefore be rotated endlessly around the pulley 17. The realization described above can be carried out in the following ways: - realization is possible on a roller blind, a rolling curtain and a pleated curtain different from the horizontal blind; and - the ball chain 18 can be replaced by an operating cord that has a coupling section that is divided with a pulling force of a predetermined value or more. Realization of a third aspect of the present invention: [189] An embodiment of a third aspect of the present invention according to the figures will be described below. In a rolling shutter shown in Figs. 20 and 21, an upper box 1 is fixed to a fixing surface by means of handles 2 and an upper end of a screen 3 composed of a thin blind is fixed to a rear surface of the upper box 1. [190] A bar of weight 4 formed of a material that has a tubular shape is fixed to a lower end of the screen 3. Several lifting cords 5 configured to raise and reduce the weight bar 4 are fixed, in one of its end parts, to the rear surface of the upper box 1 and another end part is fixed, by means of a position below the weight bar 4, to a winding axis 6 in the upper box 1 so that it can be helically wound around the winding axis 6 The weight bar 4 is therefore supported by a series of lifting cords 5 wrapped around its bottom. [191] The winding shaft 6 is supported so that it can be rotated by a support member 7 disposed in the upper box 1, in which other ends of the lifting cords 5 are fixed to them and a movement axis 8 shaped like a hexagonal rod is inserted through a center of the winding shaft 6 so that they are not able to rotate with each other. [192] An operating device 9 is attached to one end of the upper box 1 and a ball chain 11 is mounted on a pulley 10 supported on the operating device 9, in order to be able to rotate. When the ball chain 11 is operated to rotate the pulley 10 forward or backward, the drive axis 8 is rotated forward or backward. [193] When rotating the winding shaft 6 in a winding direction of the lifting cords 5 based on the rotation of the drive shaft 8, one side of each of the lifting cords 5 supporting the weight bar 4 is raised, such that the weight bar 4 is raised by winding the web 3 and the web 3 is wrapped around the weight bar 4 as shown in Fig. 22. [194] A cord joint 12 is interposed inside of the lifting cord 5 in the vicinity of one of its ends. The cord junction 12 is composed, as shown in Figs. 23 and 24, of a pair of main junction bodies 13a, 13b and a coupling member 14 configured to couple the main junction bodies 13a, 13b. [195] The main junction bodies 13a, 13b are formed with a synthetic resin that has elasticity in a generally column shape and equipped, in its central part, with a concave portion of box 15 that opens on one side of a surface external peripheral. In addition, the concave box portion 15 communicates with one end of the main junction body 13a, 13b in a longitudinal direction through a communication hole 16. [196] In addition, an end portion of the lifting cord 5 is inserted into the communication hole 16 at one end of the main junction body 13a, 13b and leads to an inner side of the concave box portion 15 and then a knot 17 is formed at the end part, such that the main junction body 13a, 13b is attached to the end part of the lifting cord 5. [197] A convex interlocking part 18 with the shape of a round rod is integrally formed over another end part of each main junction body 13a, 13b, as shown in Figs. 24 and 25. Diametrically thickened parts 19 are formed on an outer peripheral surface of a front end part of the convex fitting part 18 symmetrically with respect to a center of the round rod and a concave locking part 20 with semicircular cross section an intermediate part of each of the diametrically thickened parts 19. In addition, chamfered parts 21 are formed on a front end side and a base end side of the diametrically thickened parts 19. [198] As shown in Fig. 26, parts of rotation restriction 22 which protrude in radial directions of the round rod are formed in a base end part of the convex fitting part 18 symmetrically with respect to the center. In addition, each rotation restraint part 22 is formed 45 degrees away from the concave part of the lock 20 in a circumferential direction with respect to the center of the round rod. [199] The coupling member 14 is formed from the same synthetic resin as the main junction bodies 13a, 13b in tubular form and, as shown in Figs. 27 and 28, the opening parts 24a, 24b on both sides are shaped like a trunk that allows the insertion of a front end part of the convex fitting part 18 which includes the diametrically thickened part 19. In addition, the parts of opening 24a, 24b are shaped in such a way that the directions of the trunk shapes are rotated 90 degrees with respect to the center of the tube. [200] Circular holes (locking holes) 25, each with a diameter that allows the rotation of a front end part of the convex locking part 18 inside it, are formed inside the coupling member 14. Locking parts 26a, 26b configured to prevent the diametrically thickened parts 19 from leaving circular hole 25 are formed at the two opening ends in the direction of a shorter axis of the trunk-shaped opening part 24a, and locking parts 26c, 26d configured for to prevent the diametrically thickened parts 19 from leaving the circular hole 25 are formed at the two opening ends in the direction of a shorter axis of the trunk-shaped opening part 24b. [201] As shown in Figs. 29 to 31, a chamfered part 27 is provided at a limit between the lock part 26a-26d and the circular hole 25, such that when the convex fitting part 18 is pulled out of the circular hole 25, to avoid damage to the lock part 26a-26d thanks to the work of the chamfer parts 21, 27. [202] In addition, inside the lock part 26a, 26c, convex lock parts 28 configured to fit with the concave parts of lock 20 are formed on inner peripheral surfaces of circular holes 25. In order to couple the main junction bodies 13a, 13 with each other by means of the coupling member 14, the convex fitting part 18 of the main junction body 13a is inserted into the opening part 24a of the coupling member 14 and then the main junction body 13a rotates towards the coupling member 14 at 90 degrees clockwise with respect to the coupling member 14. As a result, the concave locking part 20 of the convex part of fitting 18 is locked on the convex locking part 28 inside the circular hole 25 and the rotation restriction part 22 is moved from a torso-shaped corner part of the opening part 24a to an adjacent corner part, in order to be positioned as shown in Fig. 32. [203] In addition, the convex locking part 18 of the main junction body 13b is similarly inserted into the other opening part 24b of the coupling member 14 and is rotated at ninety degrees. way to be positioned. As a result, as shown in Fig. 23, the main joining bodies 13a, 13b are coupled by means of the coupling member 14. [204] In this state, the diametrically thickened parts 19 of the convex fitting part 18 of each of the bodies main junctions 13a, 13b are engaged with the locking parts 26a-26d of the coupling member 14, so as to be maintained in the circular holes 25 of the coupling member 14. A holding force in this state is defined in such a way that the locking convex part 18 does not come out of the coupling member 14 with the usual pulling force that is applied to the lifting cord 5 in a usual operation of raising or lowering the screen based on weights of the weight bar 4 and the screen 3 and, for example, its maximum value is set at 85 N (Newtons) and the minimum value is set at 40 N. [205] Only when a large force that exceeds the usual pulling force is applied to the lifting cord 5, the parts of opening 24a, 24b of the member of coupling 14 are expanded by the diametrically thickened parts 19 of the convex interlocking parts 18 due to the elasticity of the synthetic resin of the coupling member 14, such that the convex interlocking parts 18 come out of the coupling member 14. [206] In addition, when the lifting force of the cord joint 12 of each lifting cord 5 is 85 N and if, for example, the number of the lifting cord 5 is “n”, the total lifting force is (85 xn). This total lift force is defined to be more than half the pulling force based on the weights of the weight bar 4 and the screen 3. The number of the lifting cords is set to “2”. [207] In the operating device 9, a rotating torsional force of the pulley 10 directed by a ball chain operation 11 is transmitted to the drive shaft 8 by means of the torsion force limiter 29. The torsion force limiter 29 torsion 29 is sustained, as shown in Figs. 33 and 34, by a transmission shaft 30 on the pulley 10 that has a tubular shape in order to be able to rotate and the transmission shaft 30 is supported by a support shaft 31 provided on a box so that it is able to rotate. A part of the drive shaft 30 on one side of the pulley 10 is formed in a tubular shape and a locking part 91 is formed at a front end of its peripheral surface. The locking part 91 engages with a convex part 10 formed on a flange of the pulley 10, such that the drive shaft 30 is supported so that it is able to rotate with respect to the pulley 10. [208] In addition, the diameter of a part of the pulley 10 to which the ball chain 11 is fitted (in this example, the radius is 10 mm) is defined to be identical to the diameter of the winding shaft 6. A limit spring 32 composed of a helical torsion spring is arranged between the drive shaft 30 and the pulley 10. The limit spring 32 is fitted on an outer peripheral surface of the drive shaft 30 and one of its ends is fitted with an inner peripheral surface of the pulley 10, so in order to rotate integrally with the pulley 10. [209] Normally, the pulley 10 and the drive shaft 30 rotate integrally due to the friction between the limit spring 32 and the drive shaft 30 and the drive shaft 8 rotates based on the axis drive 30. [210] In addition, when the pulley 10 rotates in a state in which the rotation of the drive shaft 8 is obstructed, the limit spring 32 runs false in relation to the drive shaft 30, so as not to transmit torsional force of rotation greater than or equal to a previously determined value for the drive shaft 8. The rotational torsional force with which the limit spring 32 starts to run false in relation to the drive shaft 30 is set to 75 N-cm, in contrast to the fact that the lift force total of two lifting cords 5 is 170 N (corresponding to a torsional force of 170 N-cm for the axis of movement 8, the minimum value is 80 N-cm). [211] A one-way clutch 39 is arranged between the drive shaft 30 and the drive shaft 8. The one-way clutch 39 is configured to transmit rotation of the drive shaft 30 in a winding direction of the strands. elevation for the drive shaft 8, but not to transmit the rotation in a direction of unwinding of the lifting cords to the drive shaft 8. [212] Ball chain 11 comprises a series of balls 33 formed on a cord at intervals regular by means of molding of “outsert” technology (type by injection) and is coupled by means of the coupling section 34 in an endless type. The coupling section 34 is configured, as shown in Fig. 35, in such a way that a fitting part 42 is formed by molding “outsert” technology (injection type) on an end part of a coupling cord 41 and a convex locking part 18 similar to the main joint body 13a, 13b is formed on the locking part 42. [213] In addition, similarly to the cord joint 12, the coupling member 14 is formed in a similar manner to be divided with a pulling force greater than a previously determined value by fitting the convex fitting part 18 on the coupling member 14 and the force to divide it is defined, for example, at 95 N. [214] Observe it is noted that a hemispheric part 43 formed by means of molding of “outsert” technology (injection type) on another end part of the coupling cord 41 is fused to a hemispherical part molded on an end part of the ball chain 11, in order to form the current and 11 balls of the endless type. As shown in Fig. 22, a front balancer 35 is attached to a front surface of the upper box 1, in order to hide the upper box 1, as well as the weight bar 4 raised to its upper limit. The balancer 35 is composed of a thin blind similar to that of screen 3. A similar rear balancer 36 is also attached to a rear surface of the upper box 1. [215] In the upper box 1, a known stop device 37 configured for obstruct the weight drop of the weight bar 4 and a steering device 38 configured to restrict the rotation speed of the drive shaft 8 and thereby restrict the lowering speed of the weight bar 4 when an operation of the stop device 37 is canceled in order to allow the lowering of the weight bar 4 due to the drop by its own weight. [216] The behavior of the roller blind lifting device configured as described above will now be described. When the ball chain 11 is operated in such a way as to rotate the winding shaft 6 in a winding direction of the lifting strands 5 by means of the pulley 10, the torque force limiter 29 and the driving shaft 8, the strands of lift 5 are helically wound around the winding axis 6. [217] Then, the weight bar 4 moves upwards while rolling up the screen 3. When the weight bar 4 is raised to its upper limit , as shown in Fig. 22, the weight bar 4 that wrapped the screen 3 is hidden behind the front balancer 35, in order to be blocked from the view of the interior of the environment. [218] When the ball chain 11 is released after lifting the weight bar 4 to a desired level, the stop operation 37 is activated, in order to block the gravity drop of the weight bar 4. In a state in the which the weight bar 4 is suspended at the desired level, when the ball chain 11 is operated in order to slightly rotate the movement axis 8 in the lifting direction of the lifting cords, the operation of the stop device 37 is canceled such that the winding shaft 6 is placed in a free rotating state. In this way, the weight bar 4 moves downwards in a state in which its lowering speed is restricted by the steering device 38 while unfolding the screen 3. [219] If the lifting of the weight bar 4 is obstructed by a a certain obstacle while the screen 3 is raised or when the weight bar 4 is raised to its upper limit, an operating force of the ball chain 11 is exerted on the lifting axes 5 by means of the torsion force limiter 29, of the drive shaft 8 and the winding shaft 6. When a torsional force of 75 N-cm is applied to the torsional force limiter 29, the limit spring 32 of the torsional force limiter 29 begins to run in a false direction. relative to the drive shaft 30, such that the operating force being applied to the ball chain 11 is no longer transmitted to the drive shaft 8. [220] Consequently, even if the lifting of the weight bar 4 is obstructed during the lifting of the weight bar 4 or even if it is applied it gives an additional pulling force from the upper limit, a situation never arises in which the cord joint 12 of the lift cord 5 is split. If a lifting force of the cord joint 12 of each lift cord 5 is 85 N, as several lift strands 5 are actually provided, cord joint 12 is not split unless a force is applied of (85 xn) N-cm torsion to winding axis 6, considering that the number of the lifting cords is "n". [221] Meanwhile, if the lifting cord 5 is captured on a bulkhead that moves in the room or other moving object and, as a result, a pulling force of 85 N or more is applied to the cord joint 12, the fitting between at least one of the joining members 13a, 13b and the coupling member 14 is canceled, so that they are divided. [222] Even if the lifting cord 5 is captured on a movable bulkhead in the room or another moving object, the movement of the bulkhead or object is not obstructed. In addition, if the ball chain 11 is captured on a movable screen in the room or other moving object, in such a way that a pulling force of 95 N or more is applied to the ball chain 11, the coupling section 34 comes out and the ball chain is divided. [223] Consequently, even if the ball chain 11 is captured on a movable bulkhead in the room or other moving object, the movement of the bulkhead or object is not obstructed. With the roller blind lifting device configured as described above, the following advantages can be obtained. (1) If the lifting cord 5 is captured on a bulkhead or similar, the main junction bodies 13a, 13d of the cord junction 12 are divided. The lifting cord 5 can therefore be equipped with a fail-safe function. (2) Even if the lifting of the weight bar 4 is obstructed during a lifting operation of the screen 3, the torsion force limiter 29 starts to run in false before a division of the cord joint 12. In a lifting operation of the weight bar 4, therefore, it is possible to avoid the fall of the weight bar 4 due to a division of the cord joint 12. (3) After the division of the cord joint 12, the main bodies of joint 13a, 13b can be re-coupled to the coupling member 14, in such a way that the cord joint 12 can be easily restored. (4) In the event that the ball chain 11 is captured on a bulkhead or similar, the ball chain 11 is divided into the coupling section 34. The ball chain 11 can therefore be equipped with a flameproof function. failures. The realization described above can be conducted in the following ways. (224) The coupling section 34 of the ball chain 11 can be equipped with the torsion force limiter function 29. This means that the torsion force limiter 29 described above is omitted and the lift force of the coupling section 34 is defined as less than the lifting force of the rope junction 12 of the lifting rope 5. According to this configuration, in the lifting operation of the weight bar 4, the coupling section 34 of the ball chain 11 is divided before the division of the cord joint 12, in such a way that, in the operation of lifting the weight bar 4, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a fall of the weight bar 4 due to a division of the cord joint 12. The realization of the third aspect can be conducted in the following ways, as examples of values that offer safety for children: - winding shaft radius 6: 10 mm; - pulley radius 10: 20 mm; - minimum value of the lift force of the 12: 10 N bead junction; - number of lifting cords 5 (number of cord joints): 3 (minimum total supporting torsional force applied to a series of winding shafts 6: 30 N-cm); - maximum rotation torsion force to activate the torsion force limiter: 20 N-cm; - splitting force of the coupling section 34 of the 11: 15 N ball chain (maximum torsional force applied to the pulley by the chain: 30 N-cm). [225] In addition, the realization of the third aspect can be carried out as follows, as examples of values to be defined in order to equip the ball chain with the torsion force limiter function 29 if the torsion force limiter 29 is omitted. - winding shaft radius 6: 10 mm; - pulley radius 10: 10 mm; - minimum value of the lifting force of the 12: 40 N bead junction; - number of lifting strands (number of strand joints): 2 (minimum total supporting torsional force applied to a series of winding shafts 6: 80 N-cm); - the ball chain 11 can be replaced by an operating cord equipped with a fail-safe function; - the torsion force limiter can be formed by a disc spring, coil spring or rubber material that has different elasticity than a limit spring; - oil with high viscosity can be placed between the pulley and the drive shaft in order to obtain a frictional force.
