Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for lowering horizontal curtain supports to a predetermined level; the invention also relates to brackets for implementing the method.
  • Most curtains are known to be suspended on a horizontal support which is supported by brackets fixed to the wall.
  • Said horizontal support can consist of a long straight pole on which large rings connected to an upper edge of the suspended curtain are mounted.
  • said support can consist of an open-profile bar of aluminium or steel plate, which acts as a track along which pairs of rollers slide, connected to the upper edge of the curtain by means of their pivoting structure.
  • fixing means positioned at a level (nearly three metres from the floor) not accessible by simply raising the hands.
  • the result is that the housewife has to use a ladder to climb to the level at which said horizontal supports are located.
  • An object of the present invention is to define a method by which the hands which are to remove the curtain are given the necessary access without the use of ladders or equivalent means. Another object is to define the means enabling said method to be implemented.
  • a support 1 is positioned horizontally to hold a curtain 2 and rests with its ends in the base 3 of recesses present in brackets 4A, 4B fixed by screws 23.
  • the curtain 2 is held by usual means; in the illustrated example said means consist of usual rings 5 slidable along a support 1.
  • Said support 1 is secured to its said support brackets 4A, 4B by two ropes 6A, 6B bound and/or tied to them in usual manner, for example by a hook 20 and ring 21.
  • the ropes are rewound by a usual automatic rewinding device 10A, 10B housed in a cavity 22 in the supports 4.
  • Said device typically comprises a pulley 7 rotatable within a fixed container 8 and elastically returned, in the sense of rewinding the ropes, by a flat spring 9.
  • the ropes 6A, 6B are of equal length.
  • this operation is repeated to also extract the support 1 from the other bracket 4B, it can be made to descend until it reacquires a horizontal position at a lower level, suitable to enable the hands (typically of a housewife) to gain access to the rings 5 (or equivalent) in order to unhook the curtain from them.
  • the said operation of lowering the support presupposes that the weight of the support plus curtain is greater than the reactive force exerted by the spring 9; said operation comprises two stages in sequence, involving firstly one bracket and then the other. After extracting one end of the support 1 from its bracket, said support lies obliquely; this gives rise to a force 12 which requires the support 1 to be axially restrained by the bracket 4B.
  • This restraint can be provided by a usual spherical piece 13B rigid with the support 1.
  • the described operation is effected by an implement 11 having a fork-shaped end 14, to be engaged with the support 1 in the manner shown in Figure 1; the use of said fork involves a slight axial sliding of the support.
  • an implement 11 having a fork-shaped end 14 to be engaged with the support 1 in the manner shown in Figure 1; the use of said fork involves a slight axial sliding of the support.
  • a reaction to the axial component 12 another type of implement 11A could be used.
  • This implement consists of a simple cylindrical helical spring 15 of narrow pitch, the helix ratios being such as to give it the operational rigidity of a rod 16 suitable for supporting the weight of the support plus curtain.
  • this rod must also be able to bend elastically during the extraction of one of the two ends 1 D of the support 1 from the respective bracket 4. Said bending is that deriving from the formation of a certain angle between the axis 18 of the implement 11A and the vertical axis 19 of a tubular hole 17 present in each of the two ends 1 E of a suitable support 1C.
  • This type of implement with a "flexible end rod” requires however that the axis 19 be vertical; consequently, either expedients suitable for this purpose must be used on supports 1 of round cross-section, or this type of implement must be considered applicable only to supports 1 of metal rail type, or to supports of typical rectangular cross-section ensuring that said axis 19 is vertical.
