Device for Supporting Blinds

Abstract

A device for supporting blinds has at least two components each having a holding part extending in a longitudinal direction and having a front surface forming a longitudinal receiving channel for receiving a part of a blind, an attaching part connected of one piece with the holding part, extending from the holding part in a transverse direction, and having a rear surface, and an adhesive layer provided on the rear surface of the attaching part and attaching the attaching part and thereby also the holding part to a supporting surface, and in the device the holding part, the attaching part, and the adhesive layer can be transparent.

1 . A device for supporting blinds, comprising at least two components each having a holding part extending in a longitudinal direction and having a front surface forming a longitudinal receiving channel for receiving a part of a blind: an attaching part connected of one piece with said holding part, extending from said holding part in a transverse direction, and having a rear surface; and an adhesive layer provided on said rear surface of said attaching part and attaching said attaching part and thereby also said holding part to a supporting surface, wherein said holding part, said attaching part, and said adhesive layer are transparent. 
     
     
         2 . A device for supporting blinds as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said front surface of said holding part which forms said receiving channel is substantially arcuate, while said rear surface of said attaching part is substantially flat. 
     
     
         3 . A device for supporting blinds as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said holding part is substantially arcuate, while said attaching part is substantially flat. 
     
     
         4 . A device for supporting blinds as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising means for increasing a transverse width of an inlet to said receiving channel for introducing a part of a blind into said channel, and thereafter reducing the transverse width of the inlet of said channel after the introduction of the part of the blind therein. 
     
     
         5 . A device for supporting blinds as defined in  claim 4 , wherein said means include a projection formed of one piece with a portion of said holding part and pressable by a user to defect said portion and to increase the width of the inlet of said channel and thereafter releasable by a user to allow springing of said portion back to reduce the width of the inlet of said channel. 
     
     
         6 . A device for supporting blinds as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said projection extends substantially parallel to said attaching part and at a distance from the latter as considered in a direction substantially perpendicular to said attaching part. 
     
     
         7 . A device for supporting blinds, comprising at least two components each having a holding part extending in a longitudinal direction and having a front surface forming a longitudinal receiving channel for receiving a part of a blind; an attaching part connected of one piece with said holding part, extending from said holding part in a transverse direction, and having a rear surface; and an adhesive layer provided on said rear surface of said attaching part and attaching said attaching part and thereby also said holding part to a supporting surface. 
     
     
         8 . A device for supporting blinds as defined in  claim 7 , further comprising means for increasing a transverse width of an inlet to said receiving channel for introducing a part of a blind into said channel, and thereafter reducing the transverse width of the inlet of said channel after the introduction of the part of the blind therein. 
     
     
         9 . A device for supporting blinds as defined in  claim 8 , wherein said means include a projection formed of one piece with a portion of said holding part and pressable by a user to deflect said portion and to increase the width of the inlet of said channel, and thereafter releasable by a user to allow springing of said portion back to reduce the width of the inlet of said channel.
