Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a curtain device, which can be gathered up vertically, of the type comprising:
  • Gather-up curtain devices of the type specified above are already known and used.
  • the devices so far produced present, however, the drawback that they require relatively laborious and difficult operations to remove the cloth of the curtain whenever it is necessary to wash it, and subsequently to place it back again.
  • the aforesaid operation involves in fact the need to remove the cords from the cloth of the curtain in order to slide their ends out of the guiding passage defined by the common returning support, from which the vertical actuating stretches of the cords hang.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device of the type specified above, characterized in that the aforesaid casing has two side walls which define, together with said converging walls, a passage for guiding the terminal actuating branches of the cords, and in that at least one of said side walls is defined by two separate tabs or flaps, parallel to one another and at least partially overlapping one another, which leave a passage free between them which can be used for inserting the cords inside said casing and for taking them out.
  • the cloth of the curtain can be removed with all the cords associated thereto simply by taking the cords out of the aforesaid common returning support of the cords.
  • the other returning supports distributed along the supporting sectional strip or rail consist, according to the prior art, of hook devices, out of which the cords can be slid without any need to remove the cords themselves from the cloth of the curtain.
  • each of the two side walls of the casing comprises an internal tab or flap and an external tab or flap, which is separate from the internal tab of flap and partially overlaps it, to define a passage for introduction and extraction of the cords.
  • the external tab has a width decreasing from its bottom end to its top end to facilitate introduction of the cords.
  • the aforesaid external tab is slightly curved outwards, to define a lead-in mouth that facilitates introduction of the cords.
  • the aforesaid casing has a vertical plane rear wall and a vertical plane front wall including a portion that is inclined in the direction of the rear wall upwards and defines, with the latter, the aforesaid two converging walls.
  • the internal tabs of the two side walls of the casing are connected to the front wall, whilst the two external tabs are connected to the rear wall.
  • the internal tabs of the side walls are integral with the front wall, whilst the external tabs are integral with the rear wall.
  • said clamping member consists of a serrated or toothed roller having ends guided in corresponding slits made in the two internal tabs.
  • the said slits extend parallel to the aforesaid inclined wall.
  • the reference number 1 designates, as a whole, a curtain device which can be gathered up vertically, comprising a horizontal top supporting sectional strip or rail 2, of itself of a known type, provided with means for its fixing to a wall.
  • the reference number 3 designates, as a whole, the cloth of the curtain, having a top border connected, for example by means of Velcro (registered trade mark) coupling, to the sectional strip or rail 2, and a bottom border supported by a plurality of cords 4.
  • Each of the cords 4 has one of its ends connected to the bottom border of the curtain and is guided through loops associated to the curtain.
  • the vertical branch for supporting the curtain of each cord 4 is sent back at the top in a corresponding support 5, which is hook-shaped and is secured to the sectional strip or rail 2.
  • the returning supports 5 are distributed along the sectional strip or rail 2 and are the same in number as the cords 4 supporting the curtain.
  • mounted at one end of the sectional strip or rail 2 is a further common returning support 6 inside which all the cords 4 are sent back, in such a way that each cord 4 has the vertical branch for supporting the curtain, a horizontal branch parallel to the sectional strip or rail 2, which extends between the respective returning support 5 and the common returning support 6, and an end actuating branch 7 which hangs free downwards from the common returning support 6.
  • all the cords 4 are sent back through the common returning support 6, the end branches 7 of the various cords being then associated, at their top ends, to a single actuating ribbon or rope 8.
  • the common returning support 6 comprises a casing, designated as a whole by the reference number 9.
  • the casing 9 has a rear vertical plane wall 10 secured to the sectional strip or rail 2 in any known way, for example by means of a device for coupling with a slit of the sectional strip or rail 2, and a vertical plane front wall 11 which is parallel to and set at a distance from the rear wall 10.
  • the front wall 11 is secured to the rear wall 10 by means of two screws 12.
  • the front wall 11 has a plane portion 13 which is inclined upwards in the direction of the rear wall 10, in such a way that the walls 10, 13 constitute two walls converging upwards and defining a wedge-shaped passage converging upwards (Figure 3).
  • each external tab 15 has a width decreasing from its bottom end towards its top end, in such a way as to facilitate introduction and extraction of the cords.
  • the external tab 15 is slightly curved outwards, in such a way as to define a lead-in mouth for introduction of the cords.
  • a serrated or toothed roller 16 having the function of a clamping member for the vertical branches 7 of the cords 4.
  • the roller 16 has, at its ends, pins that are guided in corresponding slits 17 made in the two internal side tabs 14 and directed parallel to the inclined wall 13. According to a technique in itself known, the roller 16 is used for clamping the cords in position when the actuating branches 7 are released with the curtain in a condition at least partially raised.
  • the main characteristic that distinguishes the invention from the prior solutions lies in providing a common returning support 6 for the actuating cords of the curtain, which has a passage (defined by the two overlappingtabs 14, 15) that enables the cords to be introduced into the casing 9 of said common returning support 6 or to be taken out without any need to take the cords down completely from the curtain in order to cause them to slide as far as their ends inside the casing 9 in order to slide them out.
  • the operation for taking down the cloth of the curtain, as well as the operation for putting it up again after it has been washed are thus considerably simplified with respect to what could be achieved with the devices according to the prior art.
  • the user can take down the curtain in order to wash it in an extremely easy and fast way, and can then put it back up in an equally easy and fast way.
