Definitions
- the present invention relates to a support device of curtains.
- the first method is to use a horizontal rod on which are threaded rings attached to the curtain. This process is generally applied to small curtains, such as those used in the domestic field, because it does not not ready for motorization of opening and closing.
- the second method consists in using a horizontal rail of guide of carriages under each of which is fixed the curtain.
- the present invention which overcomes these drawbacks, relates to a curtain support device remarkable in that it comprises a helically wound spring guided by a support member, said spring being capable of supporting the curtain by means of members attachment arranged all n turns, at least one of the turns being fixed relative to said support and the deployment of said curtain being obtained by pulling on one of the free ends of said spring.
- the spring is fixed by one of its ends and can undergo pulling by the other using a conventional cable.
- the spring bends, which means that the distance separating two adjacent turns will increase or decrease by a certain value k and that the distance separating two hooking members will vary by the quantity nk and it follows that the folds of the curtain will form or disappear in a uniform manner.
- the curtain 1 is suspended under a support member constituted by a spring 2, wound in a helix, by means of hooking members, such as for example those 3.
- each fastening member 3 is constituted by a tongue placed astride certain turns and attached to the upper edge of the curtain.
- the hooking members are arranged every n turns, the value of the number n depending on the total width of the curtain and the number of hooking members.
- the spring 2 is a spring with contiguous turns. Consequently, if the end 4 is fixed and if one exerts a traction on the end 5 according to the arrow F 1 , the spring will lengthen and the distance separating the adjacent members 3 will increase which means that the widths of the folds P 1 and P 2 of the curtain will increase while remaining equal.
- FIG. 2 shows another embodiment according to which the spring is a spring with non-contiguous turns.
- the curtain is normally closed.
- pull on the free end of the spring according to arrow F 2 .
- the spring 2 is guided in a horizontal rail 6 affecting, in section, the shape an inverted U with constricted opening.
- This rail can be straight or curvilinear.
- the spring 2 can be guided on a rod 7 crossing it.
- the device of the invention makes it possible to deploy or fold several curtains or streamers.
- the value of the number n varies. This value can vary, for example, cyclically to take the values n 1 , n 2 , n 1 , n 2 etc.
