The ring (6) can be made in a variety of shapes and is fitted to the curtain rod via an inner lining ring (7) of an elastomer material, equipped with inwardly projecting ribs (8) or spikes (9) to grip the rod. The decorative ring can be fitted to any part of the curtain rod or used to fix it to a supporting bracket.

Description

L'invention se rapporte aux tringles à rideaux et concerne plus précisément des accessoires pouvant être déplacés et immobilisés sur lesdites tringles.The invention relates to curtain rods and more specifically relates to accessories which can be moved and immobilized on said rods.

Les tringles à rideaux traditionnelles c'est à dire constituées généralement par des barres de section circulaire, réalisées en toute matière, mais préférentiellement en bois, servent à supporter des curseurs ou des anneaux qui eux-mêmes soutiennent les rideaux. Ces curseurs et anneaux glissent librement sur la tringle et pour cela le diamètre de leur ouverture est sensiblement plus important que celui de la tringle. Pour améliorer l'esthétique de la tringle il est bien connu de coiffer chacune de ses extrémités d'un embout qui se présente souvent comme une simple sphère de même nature et teinte que la barre. L'embout est habituellement creusé d'un puits grâce auquel il s'emmanche sur l'extrémité de la tringle. Un dispositif de blocage, parfois constitué d'une simple vis permet l'immobilisation de l'embout.Traditional curtain rods, that is to say generally constituted by bars of circular section, made of any material, but preferably made of wood, are used to support sliders or rings which themselves support the curtains. These sliders and rings slide freely on the rod and for this the diameter of their opening is significantly larger than that of the rod. To improve the aesthetics of the rod it is well known to cap each of its ends with a tip which is often presented as a simple sphere of the same nature and color as the bar. The tip is usually dug from a well through which it is fitted on the end of the rod. A blocking device, sometimes made up of a simple screw, allows the tip to be immobilized.

Ce dernier a aussi pour fonction de faire butée pour les anneaux déplaçables et d'éviter qu'ils n'échappent de la tringle notamment lors de la manoeuvre d'ouverture du rideau.The latter also has the function of making a stop for the movable rings and of preventing them from escaping from the rod, in particular during the opening operation of the curtain.

Ainsi équipée, une tringle à rideaux classique ne présente pas toujours un aspect agréable à l'oeil. A moins de la prévoir en matériau plus noble avec des embouts plus travaillés et décoratifs, ce qui est plus coûteux, il est difficile d'améliorer l'aspect d'une simple tringle standard sur laquelle sont montés des anneaux et des embouts ordinaires.Thus equipped, a classic curtain rod does not always have a pleasing appearance. Unless it is provided in a more noble material with more worked and decorative tips, which is more expensive, it is difficult to improve the appearance of a simple standard rod on which are mounted rings and ordinary tips.

La Demanderesse s'est attachée à rechercher une solution à ce problème et a imaginé un système d'accessoires facilement déplaçables sur une tringle mais aussi immobilisables à l'emplacement choisi, le système représentant une originalité esthétique et technique.The Applicant endeavored to find a solution to this problem and imagined a system of accessories which can easily be moved on a rod but can also be immobilized at the chosen location, the system representing an aesthetic and technical originality.

Un objet principal de la présente invention consiste en des accessoires déplaçables et immobilisables pour tringle à rideaux constituée d'une barre sur laquelle sont engagés des curseurs ou anneaux déplaçables soutenant les rideaux, les accessoires de formes diverses étant positionnés sur la tringle entre son extrémité et les anneaux de suspension, et étant équipés intérieurement d'au moins une bague intermédiaire disposant de moyens exerçant un effort de retenue et d'immobilisation sur la tringle.A main object of the present invention consists of movable and immobilizable accessories for curtain rod consisting of a bar on which sliders or movable rings supporting the curtains are engaged, the accessories of various shapes being positioned on the rod between its end and the suspension rings, and being fitted internally with at least one intermediate ring having means exerting a retaining force and immobilization on the rod.

Les accessoires en question sont constitués de bagues décoratives de formes diverses destinées à s'intercaler sur la tringle entre un embout d'extrémité et les anneaux de suspension, ou encore ils sont constitués par les embouts eux-mêmes, rapportés sur les extrémités de la tringle, ou encore par les supports de la barre constituant la tringle.The accessories in question consist of decorative rings of various shapes intended to be inserted on the rod between an end piece and the suspension rings, or they are constituted by the end pieces themselves, attached to the ends of the rod, or by the supports of the bar constituting the rod.

Les moyens de retenue et d'immobilisation de ces accessoires sont avantageusement constitués d'ailettes ou de picots équipant la face interne de la bague intermédiaire et orientés en direction du centre.The means for retaining and immobilizing these accessories advantageously consist of fins or pins fitted to the internal face of the intermediate ring and oriented in the direction of the center.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d'exemples de réalisation faisant référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows of embodiments referring to the appended drawings which represent.

Figure 1 une vue générale en coupe d'une tringle à rideaux munie de bagues décoratives.Figure 1 a general sectional view of a curtain rod provided with decorative rings.

Figure 2 une vue en coupe à plus grande échelle d'une bague décorative.Figure 2 a sectional view on a larger scale of a decorative ring.

On a représenté à la figure 1 une tringle à rideaux 1 équipée d'une pluralité d'anneaux de suspension 2 pour un rideau 3. Un embout 4 est rapporté sur l'extrémité 5 de la barre qui constitue la tringle.There is shown in Figure 1 a curtain rod 1 equipped with a plurality of suspension rings 2 for a curtain 3. A nozzle 4 is attached to the end 5 of the bar which constitutes the rod.

Préalablement à la mise en place de l'embout, ont été engagées sur la tringle des bagues décoratives 6 dont on n'a représenté que deux variantes sur la figure. Ainsi une des bagues 6 se présente comme un manchon cyclindrique dont le diamètre intérieur est supérieur au diamètre extérieur de la tringle. L'autre bague 6 représentée a un profil extérieur biconique, mais sa partie interne est cylindrique avec un diamètre intérieur également supérieur au diamètre extérieur de la tringle. Bien entendu les bagues 6 peuvent avoir des formes extérieures diverses et différentes de celles représentées; en outre on les place en nombre variable, selon le choix de l'utilisateur, entre les anneaux 2 et l'embout 4.Prior to the fitting of the endpiece, decorative rings 6 were engaged on the rod, of which only two variants have been shown in the figure. Thus one of the rings 6 is presented as a cylindrical sleeve whose internal diameter is greater than the external diameter of the rod. The other ring 6 shown has a biconical external profile, but its internal part is cylindrical with an internal diameter also greater than the diameter outside of the rod. Of course the rings 6 can have various external shapes and different from those shown; in addition, they are placed in variable number, according to the user's choice, between the rings 2 and the end piece 4.

L'espace e ménagé entre la paroi cylindrique interne de chaque bague décorative 6 et la face externe de la tringle sert de logement à une bague intermédiaire 7 d'épaisseur mince qui s'intercale dans cet espace e entre la barre et la bague décorative. Cette bague intermédiaire 7 est équipée sur sa face interne d'ailettes 8 ou de picots 9 orientés en direction du centre comme on le voit plus clairement sur la figure 2. Par contre la face externe de la bague intermédiaire 7 est collée contre la paroi cylindrique interne de la bague décorative 6. La bague intermédiaire peut aussi être réalisée comme une bande autocollante.The space e formed between the internal cylindrical wall of each decorative ring 6 and the external face of the rod serves as a housing for an intermediate ring 7 of thin thickness which is inserted in this space e between the bar and the decorative ring. This intermediate ring 7 is equipped on its internal face with fins 8 or pins 9 oriented in the direction of the center as can be seen more clearly in FIG. 2. On the other hand, the external face of the intermediate ring 7 is glued against the cylindrical wall internal of the decorative ring 6. The intermediate ring can also be produced as an adhesive strip.

Quand on emmanche une bague décorative ainsi équipée sur une tringle, les ailettes 8 ou les picots 9, dont les extrémités sont débordantes vers l'intérieur par rapport au diamètre de la tringle, se déforment et s'ajustent au diamètre de la barre et exercent ainsi un effort de retenue et d'immobilisation de la bague décorative. Bien entendu cet effort d'immobilisation, n'empêche pas le coulissement de la bague décorative sur la tringle par un léger effort de l'utilisateur, qui souhaiterait déplacer ou remplacer une bague.When a decorative ring thus fitted is fitted onto a rod, the fins 8 or the pins 9, the ends of which protrude inward relative to the diameter of the rod, deform and adjust to the diameter of the bar and exert thus an effort to retain and immobilize the decorative ring. Of course this immobilization effort, does not prevent the sliding of the decorative ring on the rod by a slight effort of the user, who would like to move or replace a ring.

On dispose ainsi, en plus des embouts 4 d'extrémité, d'une pluralité de bagues décoratives 6, de formes diverses, qui peuvent glisser et être immobilisées à n'importe quel endroit de la tringle à rideaux. Un empilage de ces bagues permet de créer, au gré de l'utilisateur, différents aspects de terminaisons décoratives.There are thus, in addition to the end pieces 4, a plurality of decorative rings 6, of various shapes, which can slide and be immobilized at any location on the curtain rod. A stacking of these rings makes it possible to create, at the option of the user, different aspects of decorative endings.

Quant au système d'immobilisation des bagues, il est évidemment très simple à utiliser.As for the ring immobilization system, it is obviously very simple to use.

En variante de réalisation non représentée, la bague intermédiaire 7 pourrait être réalisée en élastomère ou matière analogue qui serait compressible et moulée à un diamètre légèrement inférieur à celui de la barre.In an alternative embodiment not shown, the intermediate ring 7 could be made of elastomer or similar material which would be compressible and molded to a diameter slightly smaller than that of the bar.

Les accessoires ont été décrits précédemment en référence aux bagues décoratives 6. On peut aussi considérer dans ces accessoires les embouts 4 rapportés sur les extrémités 5 de la barre. Au lieu d'être emmanchés et fixés de façon classique, ces embouts pourraient être équipés d'une bague intermédiaire 7 identique à celle des bagues décoratives.The accessories have been described above with reference to the decorative rings 6. We can also consider in these accessories the end pieces 4 attached to the ends 5 of the bar. Instead of being fitted and fixed in a conventional manner, these end pieces could be fitted with an intermediate ring 7 identical to that of the decorative rings.

On peut aussi prévoir que les supports (non représentés) de la tringle 1, grâce auxquels celle-ci est fixée au mur, et qui sont habituellement réalisés comme des manchons sur lesquels est fixée une tige support, sont également munis d'une bague intermédiaire d'immobilisation.One can also provide that the supports (not shown) of the rod 1, by which it is fixed to the wall, and which are usually made as sleeves on which is fixed a support rod, are also provided with an intermediate ring immobilization.

La bague en question peut être placée autour de la tige solidaire de la tringle et s'engager dans une ouverture intérieure d'un élément femelle fixé au mur, ou encore à l'intérieur d'un manchon destiné à se raccorder à un support quelconque ou d'un embout spécial pour barre creuse.The ring in question can be placed around the rod secured to the rod and engage in an interior opening of a female element fixed to the wall, or even inside a sleeve intended to be connected to any support. or a special tip for hollow bar.
