Definitions

  • the invention relates to a curtain for decorating and/or separating rooms, made of paper or a papery material which has been prepared to be flame-resistant.
  • the invention furthermore relates to the accessories for suspending or mounting said curtain.
  • the aim is now to obtain a decorative, comparatively cheap curtain for substituting the textile curtains used up to now, especially in residences or buildings where curtains are often changed. Also the replacement of textile curtains in hospitals and nursing homes and the like, where the curtains are used for separating beds, is being considered.
  • the textile curtains mostly used at present are preferably fire-proof, but these textile curtains are comparatively expensive, because of the materials used, the processing cost and the mounting method.
  • the invention does not only relate to the substitution of the material for the curtains which haven been used so far, but also to the mounting means and/or systems preferably to be used for suspending these "paper curtains".
  • a material preferably to be used for producing such curtains is a papery material such as non-woven consisting of several layers.
  • a non-woven is a material which is marketed by Kimberly-Clark (England) under the brand name "Evolution" and which consists of three layers of polypropylene.
  • reference number 1 indicates the curtain (in the further description the word "curtain” will be used to indicate the curtain according to the invention, made of paper or a papery material).
  • Said curtain 1 is mounted by means of cord 2, which is threaded through holes 3 at the upper side.
  • the cord 2 may be provided in the outer ends of two vertically adjustable tubes 4 which are clamped between bottom 5 and ceiling 6 by means of the clamping plates 8 and 9 as illustrated in fig 7.
  • the folds 7 in curtain 1 are obtained by providing reinforcements 15 in the hem at the upper side, as illustrated in fig 3. By providing said plate-shaped reinforcements at regularly spaced distances, the folds 7 are formed at regular distances in the curtain 1, so that the curtain 1 according to the invention hangs like a conventional curtain.
  • Figs 2 and 3 illustrate a detail construction of the upper hem, from which it appears that in fig 3 the plate-shaped reinforcements 15 are provided at regularly spaced distances in the hem 11.
  • the plate-shaped reinforcements 15 there have been provided holes 3, which correspond with the holes 3 illustrated in figs 1 and 2.
  • the plate-shaped reinforcements 15 are preferably made of cardboard or of a plastic material and said plates 15 are initially intended to produce the folds 7 and to reinforce the hem around hole 3, to prevent it from tearing.
  • Fig 4 illustrates an other embodiment for suspending the curtains according to the invention, whereby in the curtain, and so in the hem, there are provided plate-shaped reinforcements in order to obtain the regulare folds, but these plate-shaped reinforcements are not provided with holes as illustrated in figs 2 and 3.
  • the curtain according to figs 4 and 5 is simply suspended in existing rails 30 by means of a hook mechanism 32 provided on a clamping means 31.
  • Said clamping means with hook 32 is illustrated in more detail in fig 6, whereby the side view shows that the clamping means consists of two legs 36 which at their inner sides are provided with toothed recesses 37 so that the hem of the curtain can be clamped therein.
  • the hook 32 is provided, preferably rotatably, in the clamping means 31 so that there is a reasonable amount of freedom for the curtain 1 to fall supplely in folds 7.
  • the folds in the curtains are furthermore arranged by a cord 35 determining the fold. The shorter the distance between the clamping means 31, as illustrated in fig 5 with cord 35, the more folds there will be in a certain length of the curtain.
  • Fig 7 illustrates a vertically adjustable tube 4 which consists of telescopic tubular parts 20 and 21 which can be fixed by means of fixing means 17. It is also possible to adjust the lower tubular means 20 vertically via thread 22 which can be set by means of the rod 19 which co-operates with opening 18.
  • the tubular construction as illustrated in fig 7 can be successfully used at a random spot in a room for providing curtains there without a wall being needed.
  • a modification with regard to the construction in fig 7 is that when there is no ceiling present in the room or a ceiling which is too high, the construction 4 is made sufficiently sturdy, at least stable enough for the curtain to remain suspended from the cord 2, which is led through opening 16 of the construction, without the clamping plate 9 being used.
  • the hook-shaped construction as illustrated in fig 8 may be used, said hook 25 being mounted against the wall by means of bolts 27, which fix the hook against the wall via the openings 26.
  • the cord 2 is fixed in opening 29 by means of a suitable nipple.
  • Fig 9 illustrates an example of an application for screening off beds in hospitals, nursing homes and the like.
  • hospitals and the like many curtains are used in this manner and they have to be washed regularly. This is a labour intensive process and the curtains are comparatively expensive.
  • the curtains may be provided with printing which may be specific for that particular hospital or nursing home.
  • said paper curtain may be substituted for an other curtain, whereby the used curtain may be destroyed in a manner usual in hospitals, possibly by burning.
  • the curtains may be suspended from the rail systems present there, by means of a suspension according to fig 4 or by leaving out the rope 2 in fig 2 and hooking up existing hooks into the holes 3.
  • the curtains according to the invention may also be used for specific purposes such as curtains which are hung during the Christmas season, because they are provided with a certain pattern or certain figures, or for other holidays.
  • Another advantage of the curtains according to the invention is that apart from being cheap and easily mountable and dismountable, they offer more possibilities for the interior designer to adapt the curtains to the surroundings, or to the purposes aimed at, because these curtains can be provided with the desired printing more easily and cheaper than is the case with the existing curtains made of a textile material.
