Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fixing element for a telescopic curtain rod as well as a fixing device incorporating this element.
  • These rods are generally constituted by two telescopic tubes within which a spring pushes the ends in opposite directions against the uprights of the window, the door or the glazing, the rod being therefore fixed by pressure.
  • Rods of this type known to date are not satisfactory, since they have various drawbacks.
  • pressure anchoring is defective, in particular on hard supports such as metal or plastic windows.
  • the planned anchoring deteriorates the window jambs in their visible parts, and the use of their fastening elements on cross windows (multiple panes) presents difficulties.
  • the installation of the rod in the hem of the curtain is complicated, and requires disassembly of the fasteners.
  • the distance from the rod to the window is not sufficient to prevent the curtain from being soiled by condensation on the window.
  • the rod is badly positioned and does not allow the curtain to fully cover the glass, leaving days around the edge.
  • the invention therefore aims to provide a fastening element and a device incorporating it, arranged to avoid these various defects.
  • the fastening element targeted by the invention intended for a telescopic rod provided with an internal spring and supporting a curtain in front of a window frame or a door, is adapted to be mounted on the end parts of the rod.
  • this element comprises a first flat part extending towards the glass and provided at its end with a fixing surface on the frame of the glass, a second plant part extending from the first part in a direction substantially perpendicular to said first part and which is provided at least at its lower end, with a fulcrum located below said fixing surface when it is in use, and adapted to rest on the window frame, and a third flat part which extends from said second flat part upwards in the position of use and in a direction parallel to said first flat part, this third part being dimensioned so that, when the fastening element is in use, its upper end, adapted to be fixed to the end portion of the rod, is located at a level higher than that of said surface e for fixing the first flat part, and said third part is offset laterally beyond the vertical edge of the window.
  • the fixing surface can be a non-slip friction pad or a point.
  • the second flat part bears in the lower part and in the upper part on the frame of the glazing on the inner face side of the window limiting the rotation of the element around its fixing point. This keeps the rod and therefore the curtain sufficiently spaced from the glass, and at the same time to position the rod above the upper edge of the glass when it is placed at the top of the window frame.
  • the rod can be placed in the same way at the lower part of the glass, but with the elements inverted to make curtains stretched between two rods, the tension of the fabric replacing the action of gravity.
  • the rod 1 shown in Fig. 1 comprises two tubular parts 2 and 3 of different diameters, the tubular part 3 having a diameter smaller than that of the tubular part 2 and being slidably mounted therein.
  • An inner spring 4 is placed in the tubes 2 and 3 and is attached by one of its end parts to the end of the tube 3.
  • the opposite end of the spring 4 is retained by internal bosses 5 of the tube 2, at through which the spring 4 can be screwed.
  • the fastening elements 13 can be fixed to the ends of the rod in different ways; for example the solution presented on the rod 1 shows the fastening elements 13 fixed by tightening decorative cabochons 7 on end pieces 11 of the tubes 2a and 3, but the tightening can also take place by simple screws for a less expensive solution.
  • the element 13 On one side the element 13 is fixed on the end piece of a piece of tube 2a slipped into the tube 2; this makes it possible to easily separate the tube 2 from the element 13. It is then possible to slide the rod in the hem of the curtain.
  • Each element 13 is rigid and has a first flat part 14 which extends towards the window pane 6 of the window when the element 13 is placed on the frame 9, a second flat part 15 extending from the first part 14 in a direction or a plane substantially perpendicular to the first part 14, and a third flat part 16 extending from the second flat part 15 towards the top when the element 13 is in the position of use, and in a direction parallel to the first flat part 14.
  • the end of the first part 14 has a surface for fixing to the chassis 9, for example a pellet or a non-slip friction plug 17 adapted to fit into a retaining hole 18 formed in the end of the first part 14.
  • the second part 15 forms a fulcrum located below the level of the fixing means 17, when the fixing element 13 is placed on the upright 9 of the glazing frame, and adapted to wear on the latter.
  • This fulcrum can be formed by the edge of the flat part 15, but can also be optionally produced by a non-slip pad 19 inserted in a corresponding hole 21 provided in the bottom of the part 15.
  • This bottom part of 15 can be extended as in 15a so that the support can be done on a flat surface and avoid, if necessary, the rounded edges of the glazing frame.
  • the second flat part 15 can also be provided with an upper bearing point bearing on the frame 9, constituted by the upper edge of the part 15 or by a pad 23 inserted in a hole 24 provided in the top of the part 15 .
  • the third part 16 extends upwards and is dimensioned so that, when the element 13 is in the position of use, its upper end part 16a, adapted to engage on the end part of the rod by an orifice. 22, or located at a level higher than the level of the fixing member 17 of the first part 14, as clearly visible in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the third part 16 is, due to the width of part 15, offset laterally beyond the vertical edge of the window; the curtain can then extend beyond the window laterally.
  • the length of the first flat part 14 is a function of the thickness of the upright 9 of the window frame.
  • the point of attachment by friction and compression 17 is provided with a sufficiently small surface so that the pressure is concentrated, but above all to be able to place it well in the corners of the glazing frame so that the rod is in the correct position when it placed above or below the glazing frame.
  • the length of the first part 14 keeps the rod 1 and its curtain far enough from the window 6 of the window to avoid dirt caused by moisture condensation.
  • the support bridges provided at the opposite ends of the second part 15, are located beyond the edge of the frame 9, in order to avoid the rounded edges which are often arranged on the wooden window frames.
  • the element 13 comprises a third section 16 situated in a vertical plane offset towards the chassis 9 relative to the first part 14 and extending upwards to an appropriate level has two advantages: it allows place the rod 1 at a level sufficiently higher than the level of the fixing point 17, 18 in order to hide the rod 1 from the outside, behind the window frame; similarly the vertical sides of the frame 9 can be completely covered by the curtain, and the part 16 cannot be seen from the outside.
  • the window 6 can be completely masked by the curtain, both on its vertical sides and along its upper and lower horizontal sides.
  • the fulcrum 19 on the frame 9 when it is fitted with a rubber-like stopper reduces the traction on the fixing surface of the element 19, which improves the stability of the fixing element 13 and the rod.
  • the non-slip friction element 17 avoids damaging the chassis 9, and is effective both on a wooden chassis and on metal or plastic chassis.
  • the friction fixing member 17 is replaced by an end tip 25.
  • This tip 25 is adapted to be able to be inserted in the interval which exists always between the glass panel 6 and the frame 9.
  • this embodiment is suitable for certain windows which can not receive a fastening member by friction, and allows effective anchoring without causing appreciable damage to the chassis, and in an inconspicuous area.
  • the width of the second part 15 can be increased to provide a lower bearing surface, to replace a lower extension such as 15a.
  • the fixing and support surfaces of the fixing element constituted by pads, may be replaced by a rubber sheet covering the surface of the fixing element facing the window and its frame.
