Abstract

A tongs for inserting curtain carriers into a curtain rail comprises two arms having inward end faces turned toward one another. A cross bar of the curtain carrier rests upon rail shoulders to the left and right of a rail slot, and an upright bar of the carrier extends downwardly through the slot and bears a ring part therebelow. Each arm has a recess open at the top, and a bottom face extending transversely to, its inward face. The tong arms engage and hold fast in their recesses a curtain carrier from below. Each arm end comprises a centering plug protruding therefrom toward the opposite face so that, when the curtain carrier is seized between the arm ends of the closed tongs, the centering plugs penetrate with their free ends into the opening of the carrier ring part and hold the carrier fast on the bottom faces.

Description

Da das Einhängen von Vorhängen immer grosse Mühe bereitet und die Chnüblerei mit den Gleitern viel Aerger und Zeitaufwand mit sich bringt, ist hier nun ein Werkzeug hergestellt worden, das all diese Sorgen abnimmt.Since hanging curtains always takes a lot of effort and churning with the gliders is a lot of hassle and takes a lot of time, a tool has now been manufactured to relieve all these worries.

Es ist dies ein Zängli (Fig. 4) das so konstruiert ist, dass der Gleiter mit einem Griff gepackt und zugleich in die richtige Haltung gebracht wird, sodass er spielend in die Vorhangschiene eingeführt werden kann.This is a Zängli (Fig. 4) that is constructed in such a way that the glider is gripped with a handle and at the same time brought into the correct position so that it can be easily inserted into the curtain track.

Der Kopf des Zängli ist genau dem Gleiter angepasst, sodass dieser in der richtigen Lage horizontal 5 Fig. 2 fest in der Zange liegt.The head of the Zängli is precisely adapted to the glider so that it lies firmly in the pliers in the correct position 5 Fig. 2.

Der Gleiterhalter hat eine entsprechende Vertiefung 2 Fig. 2 + 5, sodass beim glatten anlegen 1 Fig. 1 an die Schiene nur die Laufrille 3 Fig. 2 des Gleiters hervorragt und somit direkt in den Schienenlauf 4 Fig. 2 hineingleitet.The slider holder has a corresponding recess 2 Fig. 2 + 5, so that when smoothly fitting 1 Fig. 1 to the rail, only the running groove 3 Fig. 2 of the slider protrudes and thus slides directly into the rail run 4 Fig. 2.

Zur absoluten Sicherung, dass der Gleiter der Zange nicht entschlüpft, sind zwei Stifte 6 Fig. 3 + 5 angebracht die in den Ring 7 + 12 Fig. 3 + 6 des Gleiters eingreifen und so diesen festhält.To ensure absolutely that the glider does not slip out of the pliers, two pins 6 Fig. 3 + 5 are attached which engage in the ring 7 + 12 Fig. 3 + 6 of the glider and thus hold it in place.

Der Kopf der Zange ist schräg 8 Fig. 1 auf die Zangenspitze 9 + lo Fig. 4 gesetzt, sodass die angenähten Gleiter an den Vorhangfalten von vorne und seitlich gut erreichbar angefasst werden können.The head of the pliers is placed obliquely 8 Fig. 1 on the pliers tip 9 + lo Fig. 4, so that the sewn-on gliders on the curtain folds can be grasped from the front and easily accessible.

Durch das kleine spitze Zängli Fig. 4 können auch die äussersten Schienenöffnungen präzis und leicht erfasst werden.Thanks to the small, pointed Zängli Fig. 4, even the outermost rail openings can be detected precisely and easily.

Das Zängli ist so konstruiert, dass auch kleine Gleiter in den Griff kommen.The Zängli is designed so that even small gliders can be handled.

Das Zängli kann zur einfachen Hantierung auch mit einer Feder 11 Fig. 4 versehen sein.The Zängli can also be provided with a spring 11 Fig. 4 for easy handling.

Claims

1. The claim is characterized in that the Zängli (1) rests smoothly on the curtain rail. Fig. 1.)

2. The claim is characterized in that the Zängli has a corresponding to the slider and adapted recess (2) so that the launcher groove (3) of the slider is inserted directly into the rail (4). (Fig. 2 + 5)

3. The claim is characterized in that the slider is embedded by the corresponding horizontal lines (5) so that wobbling of the slider is impossible. (Fig. 2)

4. The claim is characterized in that a pin (6) is attached to each pair of pliers tips so that they engage in the ring (7) when the pliers are clamped and thus hold the glider in place. (Fig. 3 + 5)

5. The claim is characterized in that the glider holder is chamfered (8), so that the pliers from the front (Fig. 3 comfortably grips the sewn glider on the curtain folds, as well as laterally depending on the shape. (Fig. 1. 3. + 6.

6. The claim is characterized in that through the pointed tongue (9) also insertion openings are easily reached at the very end of the rail (Fig. 4)

7. The claim is characterized in that the construction is mounted on a Zängli (lo) so that the slider can be clamped (Fig. 4).

8. The claim is characterized in that the Zängli is designed so that smaller gliders can be detected. (Fig. 1 - 6)
