Abstract

A combination blind is constructed to include a headrail and a bottom rail respectively connectable to the top and bottom sides of a window, and a lifting rail arranged in parallel to and vertically movable between the headrail and the bottom rail. The lifting rail defines with the headrail and the bottom rail two vertically spaced shading sections. Two positioning cords are bilaterally vertically connected between the headrail and the bottom rail and extended through the two shading sections and inserted through the lifting rail. The positioning cords each have a part transversely extended through the lifting rail at a distance. Two blind bodies are respectively provided in the two shading sections and relatively extended out/received upon vertical movement of the lifting rail between the headrail and the bottom rail.

Claims

1. A combination blind installed in a window for regulating the light, comprising:

a headrail connectable to a top side of said window;

a bottom rail connectable to a bottom side of said window;

at least one lifting rail arranged in parallel to and vertically movable between said headrail and said bottom rail, said at least one lifting rail defining with said headrail and said bottom rail at least two vertically spaced shading sections;

two positioning cords bilaterally vertically connected between said headrail and said bottom rail and extended through said at least two vertically spaced shading sections and inserted through said at least one lifting rail, said positioning cords each having a part transversely extended through each of said at least one lifting rail at a distance; and

at least two blind bodies respectively provided in said at least two shading sections and relatively extended out/received upon vertical movement of said at least one lifting rail between said headrail and said bottom rail.

2. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, wherein the number of said at least one lifting rail is one, and the single lifting rail defines with said headrail and said bottom rail two vertically spaced shading sections.

3. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, wherein the number of said at least one lifting rail is two, and the two lifting rails define with said headrail and said bottom rail three vertically spaced shading sections.

4. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, wherein said headrail has two tensile springs provided therein, said tensile springs each having a fixed end fixedly connected to said headrail and a connecting end;

wherein said two positioning cords each have a top end respectively connected to the connecting ends of said tensile springs in said headrail.

5. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, wherein said bottom rail comprises two tension control members respectively connected to bottom ends of said positioning cords, and adapted for rolling up said positioning cords to relatively adjust the tension of said positioning cords.

6. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, wherein said two positioning cords are extended across each other in each of said at least one lifting rail.

7. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least two blind bodies are respectively constructed subject to one of the blind groups of Venetian blind, Roller blind, Pleated blind, and Roman blind.

8. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least two blind bodies are constructed subject to two designs of blinds.

9. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least two blind bodies are constructed subject to a same design of blind.

10. The combination blind as claimed in claim 9, wherein said at least two blind bodies are constructed subject to the design of a Venetian blind, each having a respective slat tilting control mechanism.

11. The combination blind as claimed in claim 1, further comprising two vertical guide rails vertically arranged in parallel and connectable to two opposite lateral sides of said window for guiding vertical movement of said at least one lifting rail between said headrail and said bottom rail, said vertical guide rails each having a longitudinal sliding groove, which receives one end of each of said at least one lifting rail.
