Definitions

  • the invention relates to a curtain suspension device window, to be used with round, oval or curtain rods square which act as curtain rods on which usually slide rings, hereinafter simply called "rods".
  • US-A-2 988 314 describes a plastic element comprising a fastening element to a curtain. This element has an I section imposing to clip it on itself and rigid parallel legs between them during use.
  • a developing practice for hanging curtains to a rod is to replace the classic rings with passers-by made of a fabric similar to or matched to that of curtains.
  • Such passers-by are made up of a strip of more or less wide, folded back on itself to form a loop whose open end is sewn to the curtain, or even has a strap on which hooks either mounted on a gathered tape attached to the curtain either directly sewn on the head of the curtain.
  • Such an arrangement presents minus two disadvantages, one related to the fixing of the passers-by of a same side of the curtain head, which causes the curtain head forwards or backwards in particular when it comes to heavy fabric double curtains.
  • passers-by do not slide well on the rods when the curtain is moved to open or close it.
  • the curtain suspension device in material strip-shaped plastic according to the invention consists of a part central intended to rest on a rod curtain and two legs to attach to curtain and is characterized in that the legs are flexible and extend on both sides the central part which is a rigid curved element, the suspension to support a passer-by (10) decorative.
  • Claims 2-10 define modes private individuals.
  • the rigidity of the bent element can be obtained by use of a greater thickness of the same plastic material than that used for the legs flexible, by the presence of stiffening ribs - for example a central rib or two ribs lateral or several ribs regularly spaced -, or by the use of a plastic material more rigid for the curved element.
  • stiffening ribs for example a central rib or two ribs lateral or several ribs regularly spaced -, or by the use of a plastic material more rigid for the curved element.
  • stiffening ribs for example a central rib or two ribs lateral or several ribs regularly spaced -
  • the device according to the invention includes a direct attachment element to the curtain and preferably, such a device makes it possible to place the curtain between the two flexible tabs of the the invention.
  • a direct attachment element to the curtain and preferably, such a device makes it possible to place the curtain between the two flexible tabs of the the invention.
  • Various fixing methods can be considered when the passer-by and the device according to the invention are fixed on one side of the curtain, and especially in this case you can use staples double hook cooperating with flanges or the like trained on passers-by and the device according to the invention.
  • a device particularly preferred is to use two rods with a flat head, one of which is hollow and houses the other, the two rods being secured by snap-fastening or by screwing.
  • One of the rods is threaded through a hole practiced on the lower part of one of the legs while that the other rod passes through a hole made in the free end of the other leg and they are joined after passing through an opening in the head of the curtain, the orifice being advantageously made under shape of an eyelet.
  • the decorative loop is provided to the upper part of the arched element of the elements of restraint of the passer-by, advantageously constituted by edges protruding on either side of said element hanger.
  • the curved part is semicircular but it is important that the radius of curvature is greater than the radius of the rod on which will be used the device according to the invention.
  • the width of the curved element will correspond to the width of the passing to use, the legs being able to have a width lower.
  • the strip comprises two flexible legs joined by a tongue provided with transverse ribs which, by folding the strip on itself, give the tongue a curved shape.
  • the device according to this variant is flat.
  • the passer-by used in cooperation with the device according to the invention is distinguished from passers-by known in the prior art in that it involves both ends and inside two small pockets formed by a fabric flap, pockets in which one slides the free ends of the two flexible legs of the device, the length of the loop being equal to two times the height of the device according to the invention.
  • the device is for example thermoformed or molded advantageously in one piece with a material plastic giving colorless products.
  • a surface smooth internal is necessary to ensure sliding of the device according to the invention on a wooden rod, made of metal or plastic.
  • this smooth internal surface is obtained by bonding of a thin plastic film closing off minus the ribs at the top of the part curved, the film advantageously having properties non-stick. These properties are for example obtained by using a silicone product.
  • a suspension device is consisting of two flexible legs 1 and 2 joined by a curved element 3.
  • Curved element 3 is stiffened by slightly thicker than the legs 1 and 2 and especially by the presence of one or more stiffening ribs 4.
  • the curved element can go so far as to form an element semicircular, but not beyond to facilitate the sliding of the element on the curtain rod.
  • the degree of stiffening of element 3 is such that this element does not give rise to a clamp effect under the weight of fabric, especially when used according to the less preferred assembly with the two legs of the same side of the curtain.
  • Two upwardly projecting edges 5 are formed on the edges of the curved element 3 in order to maintain in places the passer-by on the device according to the invention.
  • these flanges 5 only extend over the upper part of the arcs of a circle limiting the element curved and not on their entirety.
  • each leg 1 and 2 At the free end of each leg 1 and 2 is a hole 6 in which is engaged the device attachment to the curtain head.
  • This device is consisting of two rods 7 and 8 each provided with a head 9.
  • One of the rods, for example rod 7, is tapped and receives a threaded rod 8 of smaller diameter.
  • the immobilization of the two rods can also be done by For the fixing of the curtain head, the two rods are disengaged, and they are passed through through a hole in the curtain head, for example example using an eyelet, then they are threaded back into each other.
  • the curtain is like this kept inside the suspension device according to the invention and will therefore be vertical.
  • FIG. 3 Another device according to the invention is shown seen from the side in Figure 3. It consists of two legs 1a and 2a joined by a tongue 3a. The paws 1a and 2a are similar to legs 1 and 2 of Figures 1 and 2.
  • Ribs 4a, 4b, 4c are arranged transversely to the tongue 3a.
  • the ribs 4a form the junction between the legs 1a, 2a and the tab 3a.
  • the ribs 4b, 4c ensure bending regular tongue 3a.
  • the ribs can be all equidistant or be divided into two groups separated by a central part wider than the space between ribs. It is this distribution between two groups which is shown for illustrative purposes on the figure 3.
  • the ribs can be formed by a extra thickness of the tongue but can also be obtained by pushing back the tongue along lines corresponding to the location of the ribs, this which gives the ribs a substantially rounded shape dig.
  • a thin 4d film is stuck on the internal surface of the curved part by closing at least the ribs 4b, 4c. To facilitate understanding, the 4d film is shown slightly detached at the ribs 4a. These can also be closed off if required. longed for.
  • the total number of ribs may vary depending on the length of the tongue 3a which is itself a function the diameter of the curtain rod, the tongue a once bent before respecting the same conditions as the rigid curved element of the first embodiment.
  • the external part of the tongue 3a can, as in the case of the rigid curved element 3 of the first mode of realization, have a non-slip texture vis-à-vis fabrics.
  • FIG. 4 represents a passer-by 10 to be used with the device of FIGS. 1 to 3. It consists of a strip of fabric generally of double thickness of length 2 h , that is to say corresponding to twice the height h of the device of FIG. 1 and of a width l equal to the dimension l of the curved element 3.
  • pockets 11 of shallow depth are formed at the two ends and held by the seams 12 of the passerby. These pockets are intended to receive the free ends of the legs 1 and 2 below the curtain attachment device.
  • the passer-by then covers the device according to the invention by hiding it completely.
  • the heads 9 can be provided with slots allowing screwing the rods using a screwdriver, or any other means to engage or disengage the two rods.
  • They can also be fitted with orifices receiving, through the fabric of the passer-by, an element of fixing a decoration, for example nails with varied form.
