Description

The invention relates to a curtain for covering an opening in a wall with insertable connecting elements.

The opening can in particular be a window or a passage of a building. The opening can also be a door of the building.

A first textile structure has at least one connecting element for attachment to a neighboring object.

The textile structure of the curtain has a pocket for receiving the connecting element.

As an example, but not exhaustively, it is assumed below that the opening in the wall is a door.

State of the art

From the DE 296 15 19 A1 a curtain is known which is designed as a built-in element. The curtain covers an opening in the building. The building opening is preferably a window. However, it can also be a door of a building. The curtain has a roller grille. The rolling grille can be moved vertically in lateral guide profiles.

object of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a curtain for covering the opening of a wall, preferably a building, which is cheaper to manufacture than curtains that have been known for a long time.

In addition, a curtain is to be provided in which the user can carry out the final steps of preparing the curtain for use himself, in order to thereby further reduce the acquisition costs.

The curtain should be designed in such a way that the connecting elements used cannot unintentionally fall out of their receiving pockets.

solution of the task

The tasks are solved with a curtain to cover an opening in a wall with insertable connecting elements.

The opening is preferably located in the wall of a building.

The curtain has at least one textile structure.

The textile structure comprises at least one connecting element for attachment to a neighboring object.

The adjacent object may be a door jamb or a window jamb surrounding the opening located in the wall that the curtain covers. The neighboring object can also be a wall of a building or an area of the wall of the building that is adjacent to the opening in the wall.

Furthermore, it is assumed that the adjacent object is another textile structure of the curtain, which is referred to below as the adjacent textile structure.

Textile structure of the curtain

The curtain comprises the textile structure and the at least one adjacent textile structure. The textile structure and the adjacent textile structure are arranged parallel to each other. They cover the opening in the wall together.

The textile structure is preferably designed as a fabric lamella. At least one textile raw material is used to produce the respective textile structure. The textile raw material can include natural fibers. Chemical fibers can also be used to produce the textile raw material.

Using known production processes, the textile raw material is processed into linear textile structures (meaning: the textile structure or the neighboring textile structure).

It goes without saying that the textile structure produced in this way can have a planar and/or three-dimensional design. In the following, purely by way of example, but not exclusively, it is assumed that the textile structure is flat.

The textile structure and the adjacent textile structure are each designed as a lattice structure. With the help of the lattice structure, an exchange of air between the inside of the building and the outside of the building is made possible without insects, small animals and/or fluids getting into the space behind the curtain.

The respective textile structure has a hem for arranging the bag. The pocket and hem are described in detail below.

pocket

To accommodate the connecting element, the textile structure and/or the adjacent textile structure each have at least one pocket.

The pocket has a curved or angled profile relative to a longitudinal axis of the textile structure or to the longitudinal axis of the adjacent textile structure.

The course of the pocket can be curved. It can also be angled or curved. It goes without saying that the course of the pocket can also have a different, non-straight shape.

For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the pocket has a curved course. The curved course of the pocket prevents the connecting element introduced into the pocket from being pulled out of the pocket or being thrown out.

It goes without saying that the pocket can also have a single or multiple curved profile. The curved profile of the pocket is any profile that deviates from an imaginary straight line.

The pocket of the textile structure has an interior space for accommodating the connecting element.

The interior of the pocket is sufficiently large that the connecting element can change its position and/or its alignment in the interior without being impeded or restricted by the pocket.

It is provided that the pocket of the textile structure and/or the pocket of the adjacent textile structure for receiving the connecting element extends laterally upwards at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the respective textile structure.

This prevents the connecting element arranged in the pocket of the textile structure and/or in the pocket of the adjacent textile structure from falling out of the pocket or being thrown out, in particular when the respective textile structure is pivoted.

In order to prevent the connecting element from falling out or being ejected from the pocket of the respective textile structure, the pocket for fixing the connecting element can be designed as a plastic shell.

hem

The invention understands the term hem to mean a section of the textile structure or a section of the adjacent textile structure, which extends along at least one edge of the respective textile structure of the curtain. The hem can be arranged on all sides of the respective textile structure of the curtain.

To form the hem, the section of the respective textile structure is folded over at least once at one edge of the textile structure.

The hem can be made in one piece. The hem of the respective textile structure can also comprise individual sections which are spaced apart from one another, preferably arranged axially with respect to one another. The sections of the hem of the respective textile structure are positioned flush with one another at the edge of the textile structure.

Furthermore, it is assumed, for example, that the curtain comprises a textile structure and the adjacent textile structure. The hem or portions of the hem of the textile structure are opposite the hem or portions of the adjacent textile structure.

The textile structure and the adjacent textile structure of the curtain each have a hem or portions of the hem. For simplification, it is assumed below that the hem of the textile structure and the adjacent textile structure are each formed in one piece.

To produce the hem, at least one section of the respective textile structure is folded over in relation to the remaining textile structure in the area of the edge of the respective textile structure (meaning: the textile structure or the adjacent textile structure).

With the aid of the hem, the connecting element is arranged in the textile structure and/or in the adjacent textile structure so that it cannot be lost.

The hem of the textile structure and/or the adjacent textile structure of the curtain is arranged circumferentially relative to the longitudinal axis of the respective textile structure on at least one edge of the respective textile structure. Alternatively, the seam can be provided on two opposite edges of the respective textile structure relative to the longitudinal axis of the respective textile structure of the curtain.

In a closed state of the curtain, the seams with the connecting elements of the textile structure arranged therein are in releasable contact the hems with connecting elements of the adjacent textile structure arranged therein.

At least one connecting element is arranged in the hems of the textile structure and in the hems of the adjacent textile structure.

The connecting elements of the textile structure are connected to the connecting elements of the adjacent textile structure in the closed state of the curtain in a non-positive, detachable manner.

Curtain

The term curtain preferably means a curtain or a window decoration or a door decoration.

The curtain or the respective decoration can be hung in front of a window or in front of a door, preferably of a building, as part of an interior design element.

Purely by way of example, but not exclusively, it is further assumed that the curtain covers a door provided in the wall of a building.

Insects that are able to walk and/or fly, as well as other small animals, should be prevented from entering the room of the building behind the curtain by the curtain.

Fluids, dust or dirt particles should not get into the room behind the curtain.

Magnet and metal plate

The connecting element associated with the textile structure is preferably a magnet. Magnetic strips can also be arranged instead of a magnet. The connecting element associated with the textile structure can also be a magnetic thread.

The connecting element associated with the adjacent textile structure is preferably a small metal plate. Instead of the metal plate, a metal part of a different shape and size can also be used.

It goes without saying that the connecting element of the textile structure can alternatively also be the small metal plate. Alternatively, the magnet can be used as a connecting element for the adjacent textile structure.

For reasons of simplification, it is further assumed that the magnet is assigned to the textile structure. The metal plate is inserted into the pocket of the adjacent textile structure.

When the curtain is closed, the magnet rests directly on the metal plate. In the closed state of the curtain, the magnet and the metal plate are separated from one another by the material of the respective pockets, in which the respective connecting elements are respectively arranged.

The interior of the bag is sufficiently large that the connecting element in the interior can rotate and turn in relation to its position and/or its orientation relative to the longitudinal axis of the respective textile structure without being impeded by the bag or restricted in its freedom of movement will.

In the following it is assumed that the connecting element of the textile structure is a magnet. The connecting element of the adjacent textile structure is a small metal plate.

adhesion

To form the non-positive connection between the textile structure of the curtain and the adjacent textile structure, the textile structure has a connecting element in the form of the magnet. A connecting element in the form of the small metal plate is provided in the pocket of the adjacent textile structure.

The non-positive connection is created by the magnetic force of attraction that emanates from the magnet and acts on the metal plate.

The connecting element of the textile structure (magnet) is detachably connected to the connecting element of the adjacent textile structure (metal plate) with the help of the non-positive connection that is caused by the magnetic force.

In the non-positive connection, the magnet rests at least indirectly on the small metal plate. The magnet of the textile structure attracts the metal plate of the neighboring textile structure.

example

The textile structure and the adjacent textile structure of the curtain are each designed as a polyester fabric slat.

The opening is a door in the wall of the building, with the fabric slats (textile structure and adjacent textile structure) each being attached to the outside of the door frame.

To attach the textile structure and/or the adjacent textile structure to the outside of the door frame, the textile structure and/or the adjacent textile structure each have a hem with which the respective textile structure can be attached to the door frame.

At least one magnet is arranged in at least one pocket of the textile structure of the curtain.

The magnet can be arranged in a pocket that is designed as a plastic shell. The plastic shell can be riveted to the hem of the textile structure.

Alternatively, it is provided that the connecting element (magnet or small metal plate) is sewn or welded directly into the hem of the textile structure.

The textile structure as such and/or the hem of the respective textile structure has a pocket which is designed to accommodate the connecting element (magnet or small metal plate).

To accommodate the connecting element, the pocket of the respective textile structure (the textile structure and/or the adjacent textile structure) is open at the top at the side.

The pocket is oriented obliquely upwards relative to the longitudinal axis of the respective textile structure. The pocket has a curved course relative to the longitudinal axis of the respective textile structure.

To form the curved course, the pocket can have a kinked and/or angled course relative to the longitudinal axis of the textile structure.

The curved profile of the pocket prevents the respective connecting element (magnet or small metal plate) from falling out of the pocket and/or being thrown out of it when the respective textile structure is pivoted.

Relative to the longitudinal axis of the respective textile structure, the pockets are open at the top. With the help of this arrangement, at least two magnets or at least two metal plates can be pushed into a pocket at the same time.

Alternatively, magnets or metal plates can be exchanged or exchanged.

The interior of the bag can be formed from the material of the hem of the respective textile structure. It is not necessary to attach additional components to the respective textile structure in order to form the pocket. In this way, an additional production step can be saved in the production of the respective textile structure.

In order to be able to exert the magnetic force of attraction on the metal plate, the magnet can move or relocate inside the bag from its previous position to any other position.
