Description

The invention relates to a fold arrangement for producing exhibited three-fold folds, with a Curtain with a more than 3 cm wide curtain tape attached to the upper edge area, which is in the area its upper edge has a first row of loops at the same level on its rear side, which has a second row of loops at the same level in the area of its lower edge, wherein the upper and the lower loops are arranged vertically, the horizontal distance between the upper loops in the unshirred state of the pleated tape that is required to form a fold Distance corresponds and the loops repeat themselves periodically and with an approximately safety pin-shaped Plastic hanger threaded into the loops, its knees between the two Thighs is so narrow that the loops threaded onto the knee open in a horizontal direction the knee are essentially immovable, the two legs of which are slightly V-shaped, in the case of the im Area of the head of the hanger is an approximately horizontal web with one end connected to the head is, the distance from the knee an approximately equal to the vertical distance between the two rows of loops has and on the loops of the first row from its free end horizontally, essentially horizontally are threaded on immovably, the number of loops threaded onto the horizontal bar being the same is four, and in the knee there are a number of lower loops, the number of which is equal to two, and the loops of seen above in the unrathered state of the tape, each lying in pairs one below the other and additionally outer loops in the unshirred state of the pleated tape are still shifted inward by so much that between these and their inwardly adjacent lower loops in the gathered state a fold results.

With such arrangements it is difficult to achieve appealing drapery. They are general the following requirements must be observed:

1. The individual folds of each fold arrangement should always point in roughly the same direction. It must not be that the folds - with a 3-fold z. B. the middle fold - once after fold left and right once.

2. The folds must flow out towards the bottom of the curtain and the middle fold should come out continue at least a hint all the way down.

3. When the curtain is open, the light must not spread to the right or left of the window shading curtain packages result.

4. The hangers must be on the curtain when washing can remain.

5. The effort involved in making the fold arrangement must be simple. Complicated to use People who are not familiar with decoration technology cannot expect a hang-up will.

6. Despite the folds and the hanger, when hanging and drawing a curtain do not significantly disturb the other behind or in front of him or Take it with you when you open or close it.

7. The fold must not appear too boring from an aesthetic point of view, which z. B. is the case when all Folds of a fold arrangement look the same in type.

8. Fold arrangements of this kind are always around comparatively high folds, the upper, front edge of which nevertheless does not appear may.

A fold arrangement of the type mentioned above has become known from utility model 69 22 990.

For this pleat arrangement, a pleat band is used, in which in the repeat in the upper and 16 loops each in the lower row of loops are, wherein the upper and lower loops are each arranged one above the other and the same from each other have horizontal distance.

It has now been shown that the known fold arrangement is unsatisfactory in this respect Drapery leads than

a) the middle bow of the 3-fold fold clear corners forms and does not fall fluently,

b) the outer folds with an exaggerated for an attractive appearance of the folds Slope and

c) the length of fabric between the 3-fold folds has protruding bumps that are clearly forward Aesthetically very unfavorable make noticeable, these disturbing features of the known Even after the curtain has been hung up for a long time, the fold arrangements are not, at least not noticeably, step back.

Since in the known fold arrangement the four loops required to form a fake 3 each row must be determined by counting, with counting errors very easily occurring, in particular when counting the loops of the lower row, the loops of which have different distances from one another must, the folds in the known fold arrangement are very often wrong Distance between loops disturbed.

Accordingly, the object of the invention is to provide a fold arrangement of the type mentioned create, at least after a short time of hanging the curtain, a lot results in nicer drapery, and with the risk of incorrect threading of the loops on the Hanger leg is significantly reduced.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that a third loop is located on the outside of the lower loop Row of loops is provided, which run horizontally at least on a partial area, on the The height of the uppermost area of the second row of loops and those in the unshirred state are approximately offset three quarters of the distance between the upper loops and the lower outer loops and that one of these loops is tight on one leg and the other on the other leg of the hanger encloses above the knee.

Since the loops of the third row of loops are somewhat higher than the loops of the lower row of loops and are relatively far out, they cannot slide smoothly into the knee of the hanger. Although the weight of the curtain pulls the loops of the third row of loops downwards, the pleated tape with the curtain hanging on it is pulled in from the side, with these middle loops assuming a somewhat steeper position than with the unrathered pleated tape. Overall, this ensures that the bow of the middle fold is evenly curved and runs downwards without forming a corner, the two outer folds are slightly less inclined and, above all, the web of fabric between the individual 3-fold folds is smooth and flat and thus the folds still emphasizes and can thus come into its own particularly well

The repeat arrangement of the loops and in particular the somewhat elevated arrangement of the middle row of loops, the loops of which are each outermost of the lower loops used to form the folds are clearly highlighted, which loops in the correct order on the horizontal bar or on the knee of the hanger must be threaded so that incorrect threading is practically impossible.

Although a fold arrangement is also known from the German utility model 69 00 658, in which between a lower row of loops with vertical loops that attach to the yoke of a U-shaped hanger bracket can be threaded on, and an upper row of loops, which, however, has horizontal loops, a third row of loops is also provided with horizontal loops, the Legs of the hanger bracket pass vertically through the respective horizontal loops and in the essentially only the vertical loops take up the weight of the curtain or curtain. the Loops of the middle row of loops are either in each case, as seen from the upper edge of the tape exactly in the middle between the vertical loops of the lower row of loops or in the middle between arranged a vertical loop of the lower row and a horizontal loop of the upper row, so that they can be used to halve the depth of the wrinkles, or in each case exactly above the vertical one Loops, in which case they are only intended to prevent the upper edge of the curtain tape from tipping over to prevent the outside world. However, the loops in the middle row of loops are not suitable the known fold arrangement one with the folds of the fold arrangement according to the invention to emboss comparable, well-defined folds.

The loops of the curtain tape of the fold arrangement according to the invention can be ring loops, which are attached to the curtain tape only with a handle, so that you can use them both horizontally and vertically or can rotate in a different direction. Provided the loops, however, in the usual way with both of them Ends at different points of the Qsrdinenband

are attached, they do not need to run vertically or horizontally as a whole, but only have to be in it To be able to run in the required area in this direction, what you z. B. achieved by that the loops are made sufficiently wide. Instead of the s curtain tape as a special part of the fold arrangement you can use the curtain tape with all its properties in the Weave the curtain in so that the curtain tape and the curtain are one piece. ι ο

It is beneficial if the height is about halfway between the first and the second row Loops a fourth row with loops is provided, which at least on a partial area approximately run horizontally so that in each case one of these loops is in the unshirred state directly under each of the outermost loop of the first row and that one of these loops is the one and the other the enclosing the other leg of the hanger in about half its height. These measures help to to keep the two outer folds, which are sometimes very long, at their middle level.

It is useful if the loops of the third and fourth rows are arranged horizontally. Through this one adapts very well to the course of the legs and the horizontal web of the hanger and the Loops are practically not twisted.

It is advantageous if the length of the loops in the first to fourth rows is approximately 1: 1: 1: 2 behavior. Such a ratio allows easy threading of the loops without them being too loose on the Legs or the horizontal bar.

It is advantageous if the loops are arranged in groups and the groups are one with the other Have a gap equal to the distance between the folds. By doing this, the user becomes exactly prescribed which loops he has to use and he then makes the counting of the loops no mistakes. Furthermore, he does not have to worry about the distance between the folds from one another.

At the upper edge of a curtain 11 a curtain tape 12 is sewn together with a A triple fold 14 is formed from the hanger 13. The middle fold 16 runs with its front bow 17 at a very small angle, following the folds straight down. The word "straight" is not in the here to understand mathematical sense. The two folds 18 and 19 flanking them have their upper ones Edge at the same level as the fold 16 running horizontally there and are in the area of the upper one Rands 21 exactly as big as the fold 16. Your bow 20.25 however, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2 and 3 both look at an acute angle of about 10 ° into the curtain and also about the same amount towards the bow 17 of the middle fold 16, see above that in area 22 a narrowest point is created. After this area 22, the folds 18, 19 follow up again outside and her bow is lost in the curtain. Only the bow 17 runs right through to the bottom. the rear area 23 of the fold 14 has an elongated niche 23 for the hanger 13. Die Niche 23 runs downwards in a wedge shape and the curtain swings with one below the niche 23 a comparatively strong bend 24 towards the rear and has a slightly conical drop 26 underneath it. Towards the lower area of the niche 23, the curtain tape 12 and the curtain 11 billow more and more back and in, so that this bulge tries to force the whole fold 14 forward. In the area the roots 27, 28, 29 of the folds 16,18,19 in the area of the edge 21, these roots 27-29 lie close to one another. The same is true at the bottom of the Niche 23 or in the area of the knee 31 of the hanger 13. However, the knee 31 is not in the outer area of the Niche 23, but inside.

The one shown in FIG. 4 shown hanger 13 has a Head 44 with a double-sided sliding wing 46 in its uppermost area for inner runner curtain rails. On the right of the sliding wing 46, according to the lifelike drawing, there is a perpendicular downward hanging bar 47 is formed, the cross section of which is shown, the lower end face 48 in the is essentially flat, but has a small rounding on the right, while it is comparatively on the left merges sharply into a corner 51. The bar 47 extends to approximately half the height of the head 44.

On the left of the Gieitfiugti 46 an approximately U-shaped channel 54 extends downwards parallel to the beam 47, but about twice as long as this one. The gutter cavity opens inward, like this from Heads from safety pins is known. To secure it, there is another one that protrudes vertically inwards Bar provided, which narrows the entrance to the gutter cavity somewhat. The bar only extends in this way high, as the window 58 from the lower part of the beam 47, the stiffening web, from there downward part of the channel, a horizontal I-profile and one upwards against the face 48 directed nose 61 is formed The window 58 is approximately square. The nose 61 has a downward sloping one End face 62, the uppermost region of which has a smaller distance from the end face 48 than that Loops are 33-37 thick. This creates a mouth through which these loops can easily be inserted into the Let window 58 and slide onto the I-profile 59 forming a horizontal web. Because, however, shut up its narrowest point is comparatively narrow and because the nose 61 protrudes upwards, and because the mouth from Window 58 has no funnel-shaped gates seen from, it is practically impossible that even The loops 33-37 slip off the I-profile during the washing process. The length of the loops 33-37 is like this sized so that you can push its upper part through the mouth, while the lower part of the The underside of the I-profile fits tightly. Hang later then the loops 33-37 on the top 66 of the I-profile under the load of the curtain 11.

The nose 61 continues downward in a leg 67, which over the narrow knee 31 with a free Leg 68 is connected, the upper end 69 of which is designed like a spatula and fits into the channel 54

As FIG. 4 shows, the legs 68, 69 run

Slightly V-shaped and therefore fit well into niche 23. Because of that to be discussed later Threading schemes need the knee or do not particularly need the legs 67, 68 for reasons of flexibility to be thin. On the contrary, they can be quite massive and stiff.

In Fig. 4 is also shown that you can hang the hanger 13 on a roller 72 by the Sliding wing 46 is a notch for a bracket 73. You can of course use internal or external rotor rollers use.

F i g. 5 shows a curtain tape 12 with two groups of loops 93 for forming three folds. The distance between the two groups corresponds to the distance that the 3-folds 16 will later have from one another. One recognizes loops 33,34,36, 37 of a first row 32, loops 41, 42 of a second row 38, loops 76, 77 of a third row 74 and loops 79, 81 one fourth row 78.

The third row 74 has horizontal, shorter loops 76, 77 which are aligned with the upper end of the loops 39-43 and whose center-to-center distance from the loops 41 and 42 is approximately V _{4 of} a whole distance between the loops 41, 42. The fourth row 78 has loops 79 and 81 which lie horizontally in the middle between the rows 32 and 38.

The threading path inevitably results from the arrangement of the loops shown.

To male a triple fold, use the end 69 of the hanger leg 68 as a threading aid horizontally through the loops 33, 34, 36, 37, then you continue to drive through the loops in this order 81, 77, 42, 41, 76 and 79. Then pull the hanger 13 on the head 44 upwards. This is how the Loops 77, 42, 41, 76 in knee 31 and loops 33. 34,36,37 is pushed through the mouth onto the I-profile 59. The described demanding triple fold then arises automatically. Of course you could also be at start the loop 37 and go counterclockwise.

The loop 79 is located in the fold arrangement approximately where the dashed line 82 in FIG is located, while the loop 81 corresponds to the dashed line 83. The loops 33, 34,36,37 hang according to the dashed lines 84, the loops 41, 42 hang according to the lines 86 and the loops 76, 77 hang according to lines 87.88.

This band is preferably made of knitted material so that, in contrast to the known tightly woven wide ribbons is translucent. This also allows them to use for curtains or drapes that do not allow shadowing at their upper edge.
