Description

The present invention relates to a curtain consisting of two or more individual parts.

Such curtains, which consist of several individual parts, are known per se. In general are attached to a curtain rod or curtain rail attached above the window. Stores, mostly white or light plain-colored tulle curtains, combined with colorful over-curtains contrast with the color of the stores. There can also be multi-part curtains attached directly to the window frame attached curtain rods can be combined. All of these known Curtains have in common that they are difficult to fix, in size and design depend on the size of the window and do not allow any combination options.

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a curtain of the above. Way to provide which is easy to attach and allows numerous possible combinations.

The solution consists in a curtain with the features of claim 1.

The curtain according to the invention can thus be composed of two or more individual parts be that its design depends on the size, especially the width of the window is independent. The curtain according to the invention is simple and straightforward on a pole o. Like. To attach to a curtain rod, for example. With the individual parts of the invention Numerous design variants can be realized with curtains. The items can be changed at any time exchanged or changed in their position or with each other overlap so that the curtain according to the invention can be redesigned as desired. The Individual parts can in particular be attached to the rod individually or one above the other. To this The superimposed individual parts are better connected to each other and cannot be moved against each other.

Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims. A preferred embodiment is that each one-piece part has one or more along at least one edge Cord loops and / or one or more loops with at least one buttonhole as well its front and back have one or more buttons, being for attachment an individual part on a rod, the cord loops and / or loops of this individual part around the Rod looped and buttoned at least one button, preferably the front Buttons and the rear buttons are arranged opposite one another and / or preferably each cord loop and / or loop exactly over a front and / or a rear Button is arranged. The individual parts can have loops with two or more on top of each other have arranged buttonholes. The height of the individual parts is adjustable, depending on whether the loop on a buttonhole located higher or lower is buttoned.

The loops or cord loops can be buttoned using various button techniques. E.g. can the cord loops and / or loops of the item or items attached to the rod wrapped around the bar from behind and buttoned on a front button of the item his. The cord loops and / or loops can also from the front around the bar looped and buttoned on a back button of the item. The ones looped over the bar Loops can also be made with two or more buttonholes on one button of each Item be buttoned, whereby they are folded one or more times.

The individual parts can in particular be attached to the rod individually, one inside the other or one above the other his. The arrangement of the cord loops and / or loops and the front or back Buttons allow numerous design options. For example, two individual parts be attached one above the other that each loop of the front item from the front around the Rod looped and with at least one buttonhole on a front button of the back Item is buttoned, while each loop of the rear item is from the rear around the bar is looped and with at least one buttonhole on a front button of the front item is buttoned. Each loop of the front item can have exactly one buttonhole buttoned on a front button of the rear part and with the remaining buttonhole a rear button of the front item is buttoned this way they are on top of each other lying individual parts better connected and can not be moved against each other become.

Two or more items can also be attached to each other, the loops of the lower Item are buttoned on the buttons of the upper item. This allows the invention The curtain can also be extended in height.

The front and rear buttons are preferably arranged opposite one another and / or each cord loop and / or loop is preferably just above a front one and / or a rear button arranged so that the loops run exactly vertically the rod, which is also visually more appealing.

A particularly preferred embodiment is that each item along at least one edge has one or more openings, for fastening an individual part to one Rod hooks are hooked into all or part of the openings, the hooks being a flat one Side and a curved side.

Another preferred development provides that the hooks have a first curved area and have a second curved region, the flat one being in the first curved region Side inwards and in the second curved area is directed outwards. Particularly advantageous it is when the hooks with their first curved area on the rod and with their second curved area are hooked into the openings of the individual parts. In this way several openings hooked into the same hook fit better together and the hooks fit different rods with different diameters. The first curved area can have a larger inner diameter than the second curved region.

Another preferred embodiment is that the loops and buttons and / or the openings are at a constant distance from one another, preferably a constant distance from 10 cm. Then, with every possible degree of overlap of the individual parts, all suspension devices are or all openings or loops are always covered. The individual parts can be moved over each other in any number of variants, so that curtains with different widths depending on the degree to which the individual parts together overlap. If the distance between the openings is 10 cm, the curtain fits in each by varying the overlap of the individual parts possible width on at least one standard curtain rod, since usual, commercially available curtain rods have a width that a Is a multiple of 10 cm.

A further preferred development provides that the individual parts can be used on both sides, for example. on the front and the back of two panels with different designs and / or in different colors are designed. This increases the number of possible combinations considerably increased

The individual parts can be made from any one or more flat natural and artificial Materials such as batiste, voiles, fleece organza, burn-out, silk, tulle, velvet, plastic sheets, Synthetic fiber fabrics, paper, bast, etc. exist. Cotton fabric is particularly easy to care for. With thin, light fabrics it may be of advantage to the individual parts with a stiffening insert fix. If you do not use an insert, just two on the front and back transparent or semi-transparent fabrics with different designs are used (e.g. 1 plain-colored Fabric and a patterned fabric in the same basic color), interesting results optical effects. The same applies to the use of fabrics with a three-dimensional structure such as Crinkle fabrics. The cut edges of the individual parts can be with a tape, preferably with Cotton bias bias tape.

Another embodiment of the present invention provides that the individual parts have the same width are. This looks optically more advantageous.

FIGS. 1a to 4b show four exemplary embodiments of individual parts for an inventive one Curtain with loops shown schematically and not to scale. Figures 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a each show the front view and FIGS. 1b, 2b, 3b and 4b each show the rear view of the individual parts. The item 10 is square, the item 20 has the shape of a semi-oval, the Item 30 has approximately the shape of a triangle with a corrugated hypotenuse and the item 40 is rectangular. In the exemplary embodiment, all the individual parts 10, 20, 30, 40 consist of one insert stiffened cotton fabric, and their cut edges 10 ', 20' 30 'and 40' are with cotton bias binding edged But there are all known substances and materials, for example. Plastic film u. Like. Suitable for the production of such items and for edging the cut edges.

All individual parts 10, 20, 30, 40 have on their upper edge 11, 21, 31, 41 three attached, for example. Sewn loops 16, 26, 36, 46 on, which are perpendicular to the upper edges 11, 21, 31, 41. Each loop 16, 26, 36, 46 in turn has two button holes 17, 18; 27, 28; 37, 38; 47, 48 on. The number of loops per item and the number of buttonholes per The loop is of course at the user's discretion and depends primarily on the intended use and on the size of the individual parts.

On the front 12, 22, 32, 42 and the rear 13, 23, 33, 43 of each individual part 10, 20, 30, 40 are three buttons 14, 15 along the upper edge 11, 21, 31, 41; 24, 25; 34, 35; 44, 45 on the Cotton bias binding attached. Each pair of buttons 14, 15 or 24, 25 or 34, 35 or 44, 45 is positioned exactly on the extension of the central axis of a loop 16, 26, 36, 46. The Buttons and the buttonholes in the loops are dimensioned so that the loops in the Buttons can be buttoned. Of course, you can also use other loops instead Provide elements that can be buttoned in, e.g. cord loops.

The individual parts 10, 20, 30, 40 are preferably printed on their front and back or colored so that they can be used on both sides. The design of the front and the The back of each item can be the same or different. The coloring of the front and Back of an item and the items among themselves can be tone on tone or contrasting be designed.

Figures 5a and 5b show an example of how the individual parts 10, 20, 30, 40 to an inventive Curtain 1 can be put together on a window 60, FIG View from the outside, i.e. from the street, and FIG. 5b shows the view from the inside, i.e. from the room from shows. It can be seen that the loops 16, 26, 36, 46 are looped around a curtain rod 50 and with their buttonholes in the buttons along the upper edges 11, 21, 31, 41 of the individual parts 10, 20, 30, 40 are buttoned.

FIGS. 6 to 11b show various button techniques with which the individual parts 10, 20, 30, 40 in any composition to form a curtain 1 according to the invention can be. The individual parts can of course, as for the individual parts 10 and 30 in Figure 5b shown, simply attached to each other on the curtain rod. Figure 6 shows a variant in which two individual parts 10, 20 are suspended in one another, i.e. on the first two Loops of item 10 are followed by the first loop of item 20 and then the third Loop of individual part 10. The two individual parts 10, 20 are thus linked to one another in such a way that they can only be moved together along the curtain rod 50. A possible Button technology is shown schematically in cross section for the individual part 10 in FIG. The Loop 16 is looped from behind the curtain rod 50. First, the top buttonhole 18 buttoned in the front button 14, then the bottom buttonhole 17. This way the end of the loop 16 does not hang down unsightly. One can of course quite analog also loop the loop 16 from the front around the curtain rod 16 and in the same Button in the rear button 14. If the loop is covered, as in FIG third loop of the individual part 10, it is also sufficient to button only the lower button hole 17 since the hanging end of the loop 16 is covered by the item 20. If you look at the individual parts 10, 20 want to extend, only the upper button holes 18 are buttoned.

FIG. 8 shows another variant in which two individual parts 30, 40 one above the other on the rod 50 are hung. A suitable button technique is schematically shown in cross section in FIG pictured. First, the loop 36 of the front part 30 is from the front around the curtain rod 50 looped. The lower buttonhole 37 is in the front button 44 of the rear Item 40 and the upper buttonhole 38 in the rear button 35 of the front item 30 buttoned. In this way, the individual parts 30, 40 are firmly connected to one another for the first time. Then, the loop 46 of the rear part 40 is over the loop 36 of the front part 30 of wrapped around the curtain rod at the back. Finally, the top buttonhole 48 and then buttoned the lower buttonhole 47 into the front button 34 of the front item 30. So the individual parts 30, 40 are firmly connected to each other a second time. You can't go against each other slip and only be moved together along the curtain rod 50, so that there is an aesthetically pleasing, coherent overall picture.

Figures 10 to 11b show an example of how the individual parts 10, 40 are buttoned together can. An individual part (individual part 40 in FIG. 10, individual part 10 in FIGS. 11a, 11b) attached to the curtain rod 50 as described. Then the second part (part 10 in Figure 10, item 40 in Figures 11a, 11b) with the upper (or lower) buttonholes of it Loops buttoned into the buttons on the item attached to the curtain rod. In the in the variant shown in FIGS. 11a, 11b, this results in an optical extension of the the curtain rod attached item 10 by item 40.

FIGS. 12 and 13 show an example of one of four different individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 assembled curtain 100 on a window 60, FIG. 12 the view from the outside, thus from the street and FIG. 13 the view from the inside, i.e. shows from the room. It can be seen that hook 170 with a first curved region 171 in a curtain rod 50 are suspended and with a second curved region 172 in openings 116, 126, 136, 146, For example, eyelets hung along the upper edges 111, 121, 131, 141 of the individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 are.

FIGS. 14a to 17b show four exemplary embodiments of individual parts for the one shown in FIG Curtain according to the invention shown schematically and not to scale. The figures 14a, 15, 16a and 17a each show the front view and FIGS. 14b, 16b and 17b each the rear view of the individual parts. The individual parts 110 and 130 have approximately the shape of a Triangle with a corrugated hypotenuse, the item 110 is larger than the item 130, the Item 120 is in the shape of a segment of a circle, and item 140 is rectangular. All items 110, 120, 130, 140 in the exemplary embodiment consist of cotton fabric stiffened with an insert, and their cut edges 110 ', 120', 130 'and 140' are with cotton bias binding bordered. But there are all known substances and materials, for example. Plastic film u. Like Manufacture of such items and suitable for edging the cut edges. The individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 are preferably printed on their front and back or colored so that they can be used on both sides. The design of the front and the back of each item can be the same or different. The coloring of the front and Back of an item and the items among themselves can be tone on tone or contrasting be designed.

All individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 have openings 116 on their upper edge 111, 121, 131, 141, 126, 136, 146 on eyelets reinforced with metal, for example. The number of openings per part is natural placed at the discretion of the user and depends primarily on the intended use and on the size of the individual parts. However, it is particularly favorable to open the openings 116, 126, 136, 146 to be provided at a constant distance from each other. There is a distance of 10 cm from Particularly great advantage, since the usual curtain rods 50 always have a length that a Is a multiple of 10 cm. The associated advantage can be seen in FIG. 18, in which the curtain from Figure 13 is enlarged again and shown in perspective. The individual parts can of course simply be attached to the curtain rod 50 side by side. FIG. 18 shows a variant in which the individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 are suspended one above the other are. Individual openings 116, 126, 136, 146 of the individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 are interconnected brought to cover and hung in one and the same hook 170. The individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 are thus linked to one another in such a way that they can only be found together along the Curtain rod 50 can be moved. If the openings 116, 126, 136, 146 now unite constant, and always the same distance from each other, are all openings 116, 126, 136, 146 always brought to congruence. The individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 can thus in any many variants are moved one above the other, so that curtains 100 with different Width, depending on the degree to which the individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 together overlap. If all individual parts are only hung next to one another, the maximum is obtained Curtain width by adding the widths of the individual parts. When all items are complete overlap, the minimum curtain width is the same as the width of the widest part corresponds. The width of the curtain 100 can vary step by step between these two limits each font corresponds to the distance between two openings 126, 126, 136, 146. The width of the curtain 100 can therefore be adapted to any window width. The same Curtain 100 can both on a wide window, the items 110, 120, 130, 140th overlap only slightly or not at all, or on a narrow window, with the individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 overlap strongly or maximally, be hung. Therefore, for example. after moving the curtain 100 can not be sewn to a window of the new apartment to fit.

If the distance between the openings 116, 126, 136, 146 is about 10 cm, the Width of the curtain 100 according to the invention varied as described above in 10 cm fonts become. This means that the curtain 100 according to the invention in each by the variation of the Overlap of the individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 possible width on at least one standard curtain rod 50 fits, since usual, commercially available curtain rods have a width that is a multiple of 10cm. The curtain 100 according to the invention can thus be placed on any given Standard curtain rod 50 can be hung by just the overlap of the individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140 varies. This is also advantageous when moving, for example Curtain rods 50 are already available in the new apartment because the curtain is sewn on 100 is not necessary to be adapted in width to the new curtain rod 50.

The same considerations naturally also apply analogously to a curtain 1 with loops, such as they have been described above. The loops can be spaced using the same calculation rules become like the eyes.

FIGS. 19 and 20 show in detail a hook 170 as used for the curtain according to the invention 100 is used. The hook 170 is bent in one piece and has a semicircular shape Cross section on. A flat side 171 and an arched side result from this cross section Page 172 of the hook 170. The hook 170 is bent into two curved areas 173, 174, where the cross section shows that one of the areas 173 has a flat inside and an arched outside and the other region 174, conversely, an arched inside and has a flat outside. Preferably, the area 174 is curved Inside and the flat outside smaller than the area 173 with the flat inside and the curved outside.

The curved region 174 with the curved inside and the flat outside serves for Hook in the openings 116, 126, 136, 146 of the individual parts 110, 120, 130, 140. The curved inside causes openings 116, 126, 136, 146 to be more easily hooked in and fit better into the curved area 174 because the curvature of the inside of the curved area Region 174 on the curvature of the inner edges of the openings 116, 126, 136, 146 hugs, glides easily along it and doesn't get caught. The curved area 173 with the the flat inside and the curved outside, on the other hand, serves to hang the hook 170 in the curtain rod 50. Since the inside is flat, the area 173 fits easily on curtain rods 50 with different diameters, with the flat inside on the surface the curtain rod 50 rests.

Thus curtains can be made with a curtain 1 or a curtain 100 made of several individual parts with different widths and variable designs on windows 60 different Width and hung on curtain rods 50 of any width and diameter. This results in a practically limitless range of variations.
