- the document FR-E-5501 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising two sub-assemblies for mounting the rail for supporting the curtain on the leaves of the window, each sub-assembly comprising a plate and an offset arm; wherein the plate comprises mounting means for the pivotable mounting of the offset arm thereon, along an axis extending, after mounting on the leaf, parallel to the pivot axis of the leaf; and wherein the offset arm is formed to offset the rail relative to the wall and is pivotably mounted on the plate by means of said mounting means and is pivotably connected to the rail at a point thereof which is longitudinally fixed, also along an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the leaf.
- the present invention aims to alleviate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- the device to which it relates comprises a plate which is formed so as to be able to be fixed to the upper edge of a leaf of a window, in the vicinity of the pivot axis thereof.
- each sub-assembly is thus fixed onto the upper edge of a leaf of the window, in the vicinity of the pivot axis of this leaf, and each offset arm is pivotably mounted on the corresponding plate, the two offset arms supporting the rail having the possibility of pivoting relative to this rail.
- the rail is thus directly mounted onto the leaves of the window and not onto the wall.
- said sub-assemblies extend upwards relative to the leaves, and by means of the pivotable mounting of the offset arms relative to the plates and the rail, these sub-assemblies do not provide an obstacle to opening one leaf or the two leaves over a large width, which is able to reach 180 degrees, or even further.
- At least one plate comprises an abutment member and the corresponding offset arm also comprises an abutment member, these two abutment members being arranged so as to come into abutment against one another in the closed position of the leaf.
- the plates and the offset arms of the two sub-assemblies each comprise abutment members as mentioned above.

- the threaded pin may, in particular, be integral with a part for mounting the rail; when said rail is in the form of a bar, said mounting part may be formed by a sleeve through which this bar is engaged, this sleeve being fitted with a radial adjusting screw to create the immobilization of the sleeve relative to the bar.
- Figure 1 shows a device for hanging one or two curtains in front of a window, comprising two sub-assemblies 1 for mounting a rail 2 for supporting the curtain(s) (not shown) on the leaves 3 of the window.
- One of the two sub-assemblies 1 is visible in enlarged scale on Figures 2 and 3 .
- the two sub-assemblies 1 have identical structures, except that they are symmetrical relative to the vertical median plane of the window.
- each sub-assembly 1 comprises, in the example shown, a plate 5 for mounting on the leaf 3, an offset arm 6 and a sleeve 7 receiving the rail 2.
- the plate 5 comprises a planar and rectangular central part, and two flanges folded at right angles relative to this central part projecting from two opposing longitudinal edges of this central part.

- One of the folded flanges of the plate 5 comprises a tapped bore 11 receiving an adjusting screw 12, in the form of a threaded metal cylinder.
- This adjusting screw 12 is capable of bearing against the leaf 3 without penetrating the material thereof, allowing an immobilization of the plate 5 to be carried out relative to the leaf 3 without it being necessary to drill into the leaf 3.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for hanging a curtain in front of a window.
- The term "curtain" has to be understood in the widest sense, i.e. as referring to any type of means allowing a window to be blacked out, including for example a blind. The same applies to the term "window" which has to be understood as referring to a window with two actual leaves, or to similar openings on one window such as French windows, for example.
- In the same manner, the "rail" mentioned below has to be understood as including a rail, a bar or a supporting rail for one or more curtains, or the like.
- To hang a curtain in front of a window, it is currently necessary to fix the rail for supporting the curtain to the wall which necessitates carrying out sufficient drilling and screwing operations. These fixing operations are relatively complex to carry out and have the drawback of requiring holes to be made in the wall.
- The document FR-E-5501 discloses a device according to the preamble of
claim 1, comprising two sub-assemblies for mounting the rail for supporting the curtain on the leaves of the window, each sub-assembly comprising a plate and an offset arm; wherein the plate comprises mounting means for the pivotable mounting of the offset arm thereon, along an axis extending, after mounting on the leaf, parallel to the pivot axis of the leaf; and wherein the offset arm is formed to offset the rail relative to the wall and is pivotably mounted on the plate by means of said mounting means and is pivotably connected to the rail at a point thereof which is longitudinally fixed, also along an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the leaf. - However, such a device does not permit an easy fixation of the curtain supporting rail.
- The present invention aims to alleviate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- To this end, the device to which it relates comprises a plate which is formed so as to be able to be fixed to the upper edge of a leaf of a window, in the vicinity of the pivot axis thereof.
- The plate of each sub-assembly is thus fixed onto the upper edge of a leaf of the window, in the vicinity of the pivot axis of this leaf, and each offset arm is pivotably mounted on the corresponding plate, the two offset arms supporting the rail having the possibility of pivoting relative to this rail.
- The rail is thus directly mounted onto the leaves of the window and not onto the wall. By means of the mounting of the plates onto the upper edge of the leaves, said sub-assemblies extend upwards relative to the leaves, and by means of the pivotable mounting of the offset arms relative to the plates and the rail, these sub-assemblies do not provide an obstacle to opening one leaf or the two leaves over a large width, which is able to reach 180 degrees, or even further.
- Preferably, at least one plate comprises an abutment member and the corresponding offset arm also comprises an abutment member, these two abutment members being arranged so as to come into abutment against one another in the closed position of the leaf.
- This coming into abutment allows, in the closed position of the leaf, the pivoting of the offset arm to be blocked relative to the plate in a pivoting direction, and thus to limit the displacement of the rail relative to the leaves.
- Preferably, the plates and the offset arms of the two sub-assemblies each comprise abutment members as mentioned above.
- Thus, in the closed position of the two leaves, the pivoting of the two offset arms relative to the plates is blocked, making it possible to ensure the positioning of the rail parallel to the wall and making it possible to ensure a longitudinal immobilization of the rail relative to this wall.
- During the opening movement of the two leaves, and in the completely open position of these leaves, the mounting of the plates in the vicinity of the pivot axes of the leaves allows a limited displacement of the rail relative to the wall.
- In the event of opening a single leaf, the abutment members of the sub-assembly of the leaf remaining closed allows the displacement of the rail to be blocked in a longitudinal direction and thus the centering of this rail to be substantially maintained relative to the window.
- The means for the pivotable mounting of an offset arm on the corresponding plate are preferably formed by a pin integral with the plate and by a bore made in each offset arm, this bore allowing the pivotable engagement of the offset arm on the pin.
- The abutment member of each plate is preferably formed by a pin integral with each plate, and the abutment member of the corresponding offset arm is formed by a projection projecting radially from this offset arm, this projection preferably being integral with this offset arm.
- Preferably each plate comprises means for adjusting the position of the pivotable mounting means of the offset arm, these adjusting means being able to be adjusted such that the pivot axis of the offset arm is merged with the pivot axis of the leaf on which the plate is mounted.
- These adjusting means allow the rail to be held substantially parallel to the wall whatever the positions of the leaves.
- To ensure the perfect maintenance of this rail parallel to the wall, it is useful to provide means for limiting the pivoting of each offset arm relative to the rail. This limitation may, for example, be in the order of 5° on both sides of a nominal position.
- When a leaf comprises an upper rebate, the plate intended to be fixed to this leaf is preferably formed and dimensioned to be able to be engaged to overlap, in a close-fitting manner, the projecting edge of the leaf which defines the rebate.
- A rigid mounting of the sub-assembly relative to the leaf is thus obtained.
- Advantageously, in this case, each plate comprises a tapped bore being able to receive an adjusting screw capable of bearing against the leaf without penetrating the material thereof.
- The immobilization of the plate relative to the leaf is thus obtained without it being necessary to drill into the leaf.
- Advantageously, each sub-assembly comprises means for adjusting the height of the rail relative to the leaf. These means may, in particular, be in the form of a tapped bore made in each offset arm and a threaded pin being able to be screwed to a greater or lesser extent into this tapped bore. In this case, the threaded pin may, in particular, be integral with a part for mounting the rail; when said rail is in the form of a bar, said mounting part may be formed by a sleeve through which this bar is engaged, this sleeve being fitted with a radial adjusting screw to create the immobilization of the sleeve relative to the bar.
- The invention will be easily understood and further features and advantages thereof will become apparent by referring to the accompanying schematic drawings, showing by way of non-limiting example two possible embodiments of the device to which it relates.

- Figure 8
- is a detailed view, in enlarged scale, and
- Figure 9
- is a general view of the device after mounting on the leaves of a window.
- In the following description, the parts or elements which are found from one embodiment to the other will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described further.
-
Figure 1 shows a device for hanging one or two curtains in front of a window, comprising twosub-assemblies 1 for mounting arail 2 for supporting the curtain(s) (not shown) on theleaves 3 of the window. - One of the two
sub-assemblies 1 is visible in enlarged scale onFigures 2 and 3 . The twosub-assemblies 1 have identical structures, except that they are symmetrical relative to the vertical median plane of the window. - As appears on these
Figures 2 and 3 , eachsub-assembly 1 comprises, in the example shown, aplate 5 for mounting on theleaf 3, anoffset arm 6 and asleeve 7 receiving therail 2. - The
plate 5 comprises a planar and rectangular central part, and two flanges folded at right angles relative to this central part projecting from two opposing longitudinal edges of this central part. As is understood by comparingFigures 2 and 3 , theplate 5 may be engaged to overlap, in a close-fitting manner, theprojecting edge 3a of theleaf 3 which defines therebate 10 which thisleaf 3 comprises. - One of the folded flanges of the
plate 5 comprises atapped bore 11 receiving an adjustingscrew 12, in the form of a threaded metal cylinder. This adjustingscrew 12 is capable of bearing against theleaf 3 without penetrating the material thereof, allowing an immobilization of theplate 5 to be carried out relative to theleaf 3 without it being necessary to drill into theleaf 3. - Said central part of the
plate 5 comprises, moreover, twoparallel pins - The
pin 13, after mounting, being located closest to the pivot axis of theleaf 3 forms an abutment member, and thepin 14 forms a pivot on which theoffset arm 6 may be pivotably mounted. - Said offset arm has the shape of a double bend, defining a slightly inclined central part and two end portions in opposing directions with axes parallel to one another. This shape allows the
offset arm 6, as visible inFigures 1 and 4 to 6 , when this arm is mounted on aplate 5, itself mounted on aleaf 3, to offset therail 2 relative to the wall in which the window is built. - The lower end portion of the
arm 6 comprises a bore allowing the pivotable mounting of thearm 6 on thepin 14 and aprojection 15 projecting radially relative thereto, thisprojection 15 being integral with thearm 6. AsFigures 3 and4 show, thepin 13 and theprojection 15 are arranged so as to abut against one another in the closed position of theleaf 3, thus immobilizing the pivoting of thearm 6 relative to theplate 5 in a pivoting direction. - In its upper end portion, the
arm 6 comprises a threadedbore 19 in which, before engaging therail 2 in thesleeve 7, a threadedpin 20 fixed radially on thesleeve 7 may be screwed to a greater or lesser extent. This, more or less pronounced screwing allows the height of thesleeve 7 to be adjusted relative to thearm 6 and, as a result, the height of therail 2 relative to therail 3. - The
sleeve 7 also comprises an axial tapped bore 21 in which an adjustingscrew 22 may be engaged, allowing the longitudinal immobilization of therail 2 relative to thesleeve 7. - After the engagement of the
rail 2 in thesleeve 7, the pivoting of thepin 20 in thebore 19 of thearm 6 remains possible, such that thearm 6 is also pivotably mounted relative to thesleeve 7. - As
Figures 1 and 4 show, when theleaves 3 are closed, thepins 13 of the twoplates 5 are in abutment against theprojections 15 of thearms 6, such that the pivoting of the twoarms 6 relative to theplates 5 is blocked. This blocking makes it. possible to ensure the positioning of therail 2 parallel to the wall and also allows a longitudinal immobilization of therail 2 relative to this wall, for a movement of the curtain(s) along thisrail 2 without displacing said rail. -
Figure 5 shows that, taking account of the mounting of theplates 5 in the vicinity of the pivot axes of theleaves 3 and on the upper edge thereof, it is possible to open theleaves 3 over a very large width, reaching 180 degrees, or even more, without substantial displacement of therail 2 relative to the wall. - In the event of opening a
single leaf 3, as is shown inFigure 6 , thepin 13 and theprojection 15 of thesub-assembly 1 of theleaf 3 remaining closed allow the displacement of therail 2 to be blocked in a longitudinal direction thereof and thus, the centering of thisrail 2 to be substantially maintained relative to the window. - Thus, with the device according to the invention, the
rail 2 for supporting the curtain(s) is mounted directly on theleaves 3 of the window, and not on the wall, and thesub-assemblies 1 for supporting therail 2 do not provide an obstacle to opening oneleaf 3 or the twoleaves 3 over a large width, and this whilst maintaining therail 2 in a substantially parallel position relative to the wall and in a substantially centered position relative to the window. -
Figures 7 to 9 show a device in which therail 2 is maintained substantially parallel to the wall whatever the positions of theleaves 3. To this end, eachplate 5 is in twoparts lower part 5a allowing the mounting on theleaf 3 and theupper part 5b comprising thepivot 14 and theabutment 13. Thepart 5b may be adjusted in position relative to thepart 5a such that the pivot axis of the offsetarm 6 is merged with the pivot axis of theleaf 3 on which theplate 5 is mounted, asFigure 9 shows. This adjustment in position is, in the example shown, carried out by means of anaperture 25 made in thepart 5b and ascrew 26 engaged in thisaperture 25, and then in a tapped bore made in thepart 5a. After sufficient positioning of theparts screw 26 is tightened. A groove and a rib (not shown) parallel to theaperture 25 may be made in theparts part 5b longitudinally relative to thepart 5a. - The
pin 20 of eachsleeve 7 and the upper end of each offsetarm 6 each comprise ahole cotter pin 29, thehole 27 of thispin 20 and/or thehole 28 of thisarm 6 being made so that the pivoting of thearm 6 relative to therail 2 is limited to a path in the order of 5° on both sides of a nominal position (cf.Figure 8 ). - By means of these arrangements, the
rail 2 remains perfectly parallel to the wall whatever the positions of theleaves 3, asFigure 9 shows. - The invention provides, therefore, a device having the decided advantage of being able to be positioned according to the fixing operations which are relatively simple and rapid to implement, without making it necessary to create holes in the wall; when the device comprises
plates 5 and adjustingscrews 12 such as described above, the mounting of this device does not require drilling holes into theleaves 3. - It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment disclosed above by way of example but extends to all embodiments covered by the accompanying claims.
