Curtain glider

The innovation relates to a curtain glider consisting of a curtain rail that can be pressed into the longitudinal groove of a guide channel Sliding head, the outside width of which is greater than the width of the longitudinal groove, and with a suspension part attached to the sliding head for fastening the curtain, with the sliding head slotted approximately in its longitudinal center plane to form two expanding legs is that a spreading movement is essentially to eat only within the slot width and with the outer ends of the ) Expanding soils each have outwardly pointing barb-like material webs from the longitudinal slot, the outer bevelled ones Surface run-on surfaces for fogging the spreading legs into the Form the longitudinal groove of the guide channel.

Curtain gliders of this type are known from practice. To introduce the slider in the longitudinal groove of the guide channel of a curtain rail they are inserted at any point along the length of the guide channel with their sliding head from below into the

Side: 2 \, ''',,"..''""Longitudinal groove of the guide channel impressed.

A disadvantage of these known curtain gliders is that they are due to their elasticity, which is necessary to a light Press the same into the guide groove of the curtain rail

possible high frictional forces when moving in the guide groove generate and thus poor sliding properties are given. With heavy curtains, the frictional forces are so great that the gliders tilt when moving and often the Movement is blocked.

The task of the innovation is to construct the known curtain glider To simplify and improve so that they can be moved in the guide channel of the curtain rail with the least amount of force can be without tilting the slider can lead to a blockage of the sliding movement.

This is achieved according to the innovation in that the head part j

Having sliding surfaces which ί the outer guide surfaces of arrival (impact webs opposite one another and that the sliding surfaces and the leadership |

tion surfaces are convexly curved in the longitudinal view. I.

In the drawing, an embodiment of the innovation is shown * represents. In the drawing show:

The curtain glider 1 shown as an individual part in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a relatively hard plastic material and has a high intrinsic strength. Each slider has a sliding head which is split in the longitudinal center plane at 2, so that on each side of the gap 2 an expanding shank J>, 4 is created. Due to the rela-

tively hard slider material, the expansion legs can be moved towards each other when pressure is exerted on them from the outside. Otherwise they always assume their starting position j shown in FIG. At the outer ends of the expansion legs 3 »4 are each one-sided outwardly pointing away from the gap 2, barb-like material webs 5, S, whose outwardly pointing surfaces 5", 6 'are beveled, but can also be slightly rounded Angled undercuts 5 ", 6" of the expansion legs 3 »4 serve as support and sliding surfaces when moving - (_! ben the glider in a curtain rail.

At a distance from the support and sliding surfaces 5 "and 6", the slider 1 has outwardly pointing stop webs 7, 8, the surfaces 7 ', 8' of which pointing towards the I slider head are convexly curved and ^: jj as outer sliding surfaces and guides for serve the glider. The stop webs 7, 8 also limit the depth of insertion of the slider in the curtain rail.

An eyelet 9, which is used to hold a curtain, is formed in one piece on the glider head 3, 4, 5, 6. Instead of an eyelet 9, a hook or other suitable hanging part can also be provided. The eyelet and glider head can also be connected to one another in two parts.

The curtain glider 1 described is, as FIG. 3 shows, initially with its head part 3, 4, 5, 6 so in the longitudinal groove 10 of a curtain made of, for example, an extruded aluminum profile _ Rail 11 inserted that the one material web 5 with his "*" "downwardly facing sliding surface 5" in an inclined position within a guide channel 12 is located and with the sliding surface 5 "ari the inner edge of the guide channel 12 along the guide channel longitudinal groove 10 supports. At the same time, the outer surface 6 'of the material web 6 of the other lies in the inclined position shown Expanding legs 4 on the inner edge of the guide channel longitudinal groove 10. By exerting pressure on the protruding from the longitudinal groove 10 Eyelet part 9 in the direction of arrow 13, i.e. transversely to the longitudinal axis of the curtain rail 11, the expansion leg 4 slides with its outer (") surface · 6" on the edge of the guide channel longitudinal groove 10 and is moved at the same time in the direction of the other expansion leg 3 against this (Figure 4). As soon as in the course of further movement

gttßg in the direction of arrow 13 the surface 6 at the edge of the

f longitudinal groove 10 has slipped, the expansion leg 4 springs into its

from Figure 1 apparent starting position back. This after springing back assumed end position (Figure 5) is also the

yyy "use position of the slider in the guide channel 12.

The threading of the threading into the guide channel in this way Curtain gliders are made in a known manner via feed-out openings, which are arranged at the ends of the curtain rail 11 and have an opening width at least large enough that the Sliding heads easily fall through *

As explained at the beginning, the gliders according to the invention consist of a plastic injection molded part and the curtain rails from one Extruded aluminum profile. Instead, you can of course other materials can also be used that meet the requirements of the invention Fulfill purpose.
