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

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Zange für das Einsetzen von Vorhanggleitern in Profil-Vorhangschienen.The present invention relates to pliers for the insertion of curtain gliders in profile curtain rails.

Das Einhängen von Vorhängen, insbesondere von solchen, die mit an den oberen Enden der Vorhangfalten angenähten Kunststoffgleitern versehen sind, in die heute üblichen Aluminium- oder Leichtmetall-Profilschienen ist schwierig und zeitraubend und bei schweren Vorhängen durch eine Person häufig fast nicht realisierbar.The hanging of curtains, in particular those that are provided with plastic gliders sewn onto the upper ends of the curtain folds, into the aluminum or light metal profile rails that are common today is difficult and time-consuming and often hardly feasible for one person with heavy curtains.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Hilfsmittel zu schaffen, das diese Schwierigkeiten zu überwinden hilft und das Einsetzen der Gleiter in die Profilschiene wesentlich vereinfacht, indem es ein sicheres Fassen der Gleiter und leichtes Ausrichten derselben gegenüber der Schiene ermöglicht.The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing an aid which helps to overcome these difficulties and considerably simplifies the insertion of the sliders into the profile rail by making it possible to grip the sliders securely and to align them easily with respect to the rail.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Zange der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass sie an ihren Schenkelenden einander gegenüberliegende Ausnehmungen mit Auflageflächen und gegeneinander gerichtete Zentrierstifte aufweist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a pair of pliers of the type mentioned at the outset in that they have mutually opposite recesses with contact surfaces and centering pins directed toward one another at their leg ends.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsvariante weisen die Ausnehmungen ebene Auflageflächen auf.In an advantageous embodiment variant, the recesses have flat contact surfaces.

Weitere Einzelheiten und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemässen Zange ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung, die sich auf die Zeichnung stützt. In dieser zeigt

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf die Enden der freien Schenkel der erfindunggemässen Zange,
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt entlang der Linie 11-11 in Fig. 1 durch die Schenkelenden der Zange, mit eingesetztem Gleiter, und
  • Fig. 3 einen Querschnitt durch die Teile nach Fig. 2 entlang der Linie III-III, wobei der Gleiter bereits in eine Profil-Vorhangschiene eingesetzt ist.
Further details and advantageous embodiments of the pliers according to the invention result from the following description, which is based on the drawing. In this shows
  • 1 is a plan view of the ends of the free legs of the pliers according to the invention,
  • Fig. 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 in Fig. 1 through the leg ends of the pliers, with inserted slider, and
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross section through the parts of Fig. 2 along the line III-III, wherein the slider is already inserted in a profile curtain rail.

In Fig. 1 erkennt man die beiden Zangenschenkelenden 1 und 2, welche je eine Ausnehmung 3, respektive 4, mit ebener Auflagefläche 5, respektive 6, aufweisen. Jede Schenkelinnenseite trägt ein erhobenes Zentriermittel 7, 8, in Form eines Stiftes.In Fig. 1 you can see the two pliers leg ends 1 and 2, each having a recess 3 and 4, respectively, with a flat contact surface 5 and 6 respectively. Each inside of the thigh carries a raised centering means 7, 8 in the form of a pin.

Dank dieser Ausgestaltung der Schenkelenden lässt sich, bei entsprechender Dimensionierung der Ausnehmungen 3 und 4 sowie der Zentriermittel 7 und 8, praktisch jeder heute handelsübliche Kunststoff-Vorhanggleiter 9 in der aus den Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlichen Art und Weise fassen und in eine entsprechende Profil-Vorhangschiene 10 einsetzen. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, ob beim Gleiter 9 wie hier dargestellt, die Laufrillen 11 quer zum Ring 12, oder parallel zu diesem angeordnet sind. Es genügt, den Gleiter 9 derart in die Schenkel 1,2, respektive deren Ausnehmungen 5 und 6 einzulegen, dass der Ring 12 die in den Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellte Lage einnimmt, in welcher die Zentriermittel 7, 8 ein ungewolltes Herausgleiten des Gleiters aus den Zangenschenkeln 1 und 2 verhindern.Thanks to this design of the leg ends, with appropriate dimensioning of the recesses 3 and 4 and the centering means 7 and 8, practically every commercially available plastic curtain glider 9 can be gripped in the manner shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and in a corresponding profile - Insert curtain track 10. It does not matter whether the sliding grooves 11 in the slider 9, as shown here, are arranged transversely to the ring 12 or parallel to it. It is sufficient to insert the slider 9 into the legs 1, 2 or their recesses 5 and 6 in such a way that the ring 12 assumes the position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in which the centering means 7, 8 cause the slider to slide out unintentionally prevent from the pliers legs 1 and 2.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, wird jeder Gleiter 9, egal ob er die dargestellte oder eine andere Form und einen anderen Querschnitt aufweist, durch die Ausnehmungen 3 und 4 und die Auflageflächen 5 und 6 sowie die Zentriermittel 7 und 8 bei geschlossener Zange eindeutig positioniert. Dadurch ist es äusserst einfach, den Gleiter 9 in die Profil-Schiene 10 einzusetzen, unabhängig davon, ob dies am Schienenende oder bei einem speziell dafür vorgesehenen Ausschnitt an der Schiene geschieht.As can be seen from FIG. 2, each slider 9, regardless of whether it has the illustrated shape or a different shape and a different cross section, is clearly positioned through the recesses 3 and 4 and the contact surfaces 5 and 6 and the centering means 7 and 8 when the pliers are closed . This makes it extremely easy to insert the slider 9 into the profile rail 10, regardless of whether this is done at the end of the rail or with a cutout on the rail that is specially provided for this purpose.

Auch bei schweren mit Gleitern 9 versehenen Vorhängen ist es dank der erfindungsgemässen Zange fast ausgeschlossen, dass einem ein einmal gefasster Gleiter vor dem Einsetzen in die Schiene entfällt, da man ihn mittels der Zange fest und sicher im Griff hat. Dadurch lässt sich beim Aufhängen von Vorhängen enorm viel Zeit und Ärger sparen.Even with heavy curtains provided with gliders 9, it is almost impossible, thanks to the pliers according to the invention, that once a glider has been gripped, it is not necessary before being inserted into the rail, since the pliers have a firm and secure grip on it. This can save a lot of time and trouble when hanging curtains.

Der Fachmann erkennt leicht, dass die Form der Aussparungen und der Zentrierstifte bei Bedarf genau einem speziellen Gleiter angepasst werden kann.The person skilled in the art easily recognizes that the shape of the cutouts and the centering pins can be adapted exactly to a special slider if necessary.
