Abstract

The apparatus comprises curtain-receiving sliders (2) that are inserted in a curtain rail (1) in a sliding direction in a row behind each other above a breaking point (8). The individual sliders of the row are connected to each other by a cord (6) forming a loop (7) between the sliders. The cord is clamped in a tight-connection manner at the individual sliders.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur verschiebbaren Halterung eines Vorhangs in einer Vorhangschiene mit in die Vorhangschiene einführbaren, den Vorhang aufnehmenden Gleitern, die in Gleitrichtung in einer Reihe hintereinander über je eine Sollbruchstelle mit einem Strang verbunden sind.The invention relates to a device for slidably supporting a curtain in a curtain rail with insertable into the curtain rail, the curtain receiving sliders, which are connected in the sliding direction in a row one behind the other via a predetermined breaking point with a strand.

Um das Einfädeln der den Vorhang aufnehmenden Gleiter in eine Vorhangschiene zu vereinfachen, ist es bekannt ( EP 0 601 663 B1 ), die einzelnen Gleiter gruppenweise aus Kunststoff zu spritzen und dabei die einzelnen Gleiter mit einem Gießstrang zu verbinden, der über Sollbruchstellen an die Gleiter angeschlossen ist. Da die einzelnen Gleiter durch diesen Strang in Gleitrichtung in einer Reihe hintereinander gehalten werden, brauchen die Gleiter nicht einzeln in die Vorhangschiene eingeführt zu werden. Die durch den Strang zu einer Gleitergruppe zusammengefassten Gleiter können vielmehr als Handhabungseinheit in die Vorhangschiene eingeschoben werden, um anschließend die Vereinzelung der Gleiter durch ein Abtrennen des Strangs vorzunehmen.In order to simplify the threading of the curtain-receiving slider into a curtain rail, it is known ( EP 0 601 663 B1 ) To inject the individual sliders in groups of plastic and thereby to connect the individual sliders with a cast strand, which is connected via predetermined breaking points to the slider. Since the individual sliders are held by this strand in the sliding direction in a row behind each other, the sliders need not be individually inserted into the curtain rail. The summarized by the strand to a slider group glides can rather be inserted as a handling unit in the curtain rail to then make the separation of the slider by separating the strand.

Damit für einen Vorhang eine weitgehend gleichmäßige Faltenbildung erreicht werden kann, ist es darüber hinaus bekannt, für die den Vorhang aufnehmenden Gleiter einen maximalen gegenseitigen Abstand mit Hilfe einer an den einzelnen Gleitern zugfest angreifenden Kordel vorzugeben, sodass beim Verschieben des Vorhangs entlang der Vorhangschiene die Kordel zwischen den einzelnen Gleitern unter Mitnahme des jeweils nachfolgenden Gleiters abschnittsweise gespannt wird und die gegenüber der Kordel größere Vorhangbreite zwischen den einzelnen Gleitern den Faltenwurf des Vorhangs bestimmt. Aufgrund der Biegeweichheit der Kordel und der Kordellänge zwischen den einzelnen Gleitern müssen die Gleiter je für sich in die Vorhangschiene eingeführt werden.Thus, for a curtain, a largely uniform wrinkling can be achieved, it is also known to specify for the curtain receiving slider a maximum mutual distance by means of a tension on the individual gliders attacking cord, so when moving the curtain along the curtain rail, the cord between the individual gliders with entrainment of the respective following glider sections is stretched and compared to the cord larger curtain width between the individual sliders determines the drapery of the curtain. Due to the bending softness of the cord and the cord length between the individual gliders, the gliders have to be inserted separately into the curtain rail.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur verschiebbaren Halterung eines Vorhangs in einer Vorhangschiene so auszugestalten, dass trotz der für eine gleichmäßige Faltenlegung erforderlichen Konstruktionsvorgabe eines entsprechenden Abstands zwischen den Gleitern deren Handhabung beim Einführen in eine Vorhangschiene erleichtern werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object, a device for slidably mounting a curtain in a curtain rail in such a way that, despite the required design for a uniform folding guide design specification of a corresponding distance between the sliders their handling when inserted into a curtain rail can be facilitated.

Ausgehend von einer Vorrichtung der eingangs geschilderten Art zur verschiebbaren Halterung eines Vorhangs in einer Vorhangschiene iöst die Erfindung die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, dass die einzelnen Gleiter der Reihe miteinander zusätzlich durch eine zwischen den Gleitern je eine Schlinge bildende Kordel verbunden sind.Based on a device of the type described for slidably mounting a curtain in a curtain rail, the invention solves the task by the fact that the individual sliders of the series are additionally connected to each other by a respective loop between the sliders forming a loop.

Die zwischen den einzelnen Gleitern in Schlingen gelegte Kordel stellt eine konstruktive Voraussetzung für eine Zusammenfassung der Gleiter zu einer gedrängten Baueinheit über einen die einzelnen Gleiter miteinander in einer Reihe verbindenden Strang dar, sodass die Gleiter trotz ihrer gegenseitigen Verbindung über eine den maximalen gegenseitigen Abstand begrenzenden Kordel als Handhabungseinheit in eine Vorhangschiene eingefädelt werden können. Nach dem Abtrennen des Strangs von den Gleitern über die hiefür vorgesehenen Sollbruchstellen ergibt sich die für ihre Funktion notwendige Vereinzelung der Gleiter in der Vorhangschiene, wobei dann die Abstandsbegrenzung der aufeinanderfolgenden Gleiter durch die Kordel zum Tragen kommt, wenn die Kordelschlingen beim Verschieben des Vorhangs entlang der Vorhangschiene gestreckt werden, sodass die einzelnen Gleiter nacheinander über die Kordel nachgezogen werden.The cord placed in loops between the individual sliders represents a constructive prerequisite for a summary of the sliders to a crowded unit via a strand connecting the individual sliders together in a row, so that the sliders despite their mutual connection over a maximum mutual distance limiting cord can be threaded as a handling unit in a curtain rail. After separating the strand of the sliders on the predetermined breaking points provided for this purpose, the required for their function separation of the slider in the curtain rail, in which case the distance limit of the successive slider through the cord comes to fruition when the Kordelschlingen when moving the curtain along the Curtain rail are stretched, so that the individual sliders are tightened sequentially on the cord.

Die Kordel kann in einfacher Weise an den einzelnen Gleitern zugfest angeklemmt sein. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Gleiter an der Kordel anzuspritzen, was jedoch besondere Spritzwerkzeuge erfordert, die die in Schlingen geführte Kordel aufnehmen und die Gleiter mit dem sie verbindenden Strang formen.The cord can be clamped in a simple manner to the individual gliders tensile strength. But it is also possible to inject the sliders on the cord, but this requires special injection tools that receive the guided in loops cord and form the sliders with the strand connecting them.

Gemäß dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die einzelnen, in eine strichpunktiert angedeutete Vorhangschiene 1 einführbaren Gleiter 2 Aufnahmeösen 3 für einen Vorhang auf. Die Gleiter 2 sind über einen an die Aufnahmemösen 3 angegossenen Strang 4 miteinander verbunden, der die Gleiter 2 in Gleitrichtung in einer Reihe hintereinander zu einer Handhabungseinheit zusammenfasst. Diese Handhabungseinheit kann somit als Baueinheit in die Vorhangschiene 1 eingefädelt werden, sodass sich eine Einzeleinfädelung der Gleiter 2 erübrigt. Zur einfacheren Handhabung ist der Strang 4 mit einer Betätigungsschlaufe 5 versehen.According to the illustrated embodiment, the individual, in a dash-dotted lines indicated curtain rail 1 insertable slider 2 receiving eyelets 3 for a curtain. The sliders 2 are connected to one another by means of a strand 4 cast onto the receiving loops 3, which in succession combines the sliders 2 in a sliding row in a row to form a handling unit. This handling unit can thus be threaded as a unit in the curtain rail 1, so that a single threading of the slider 2 is unnecessary. For easier handling, the strand 4 is provided with an actuating loop 5.

Neben dieser Verbindung der einzelnen Gleiter 2 durch den Strang 4 sind die Gleiter 2 zusätzlich über eine Kordel 6 miteinander verbunden, die zwischen den einzelnen Gleitern 2 in Schlingen 7 gelegt und an den Gleitern 2 angeklemmt ist. Da der Strang 4 an den Ösen 3 über Sollbruchstellen 8 angespritzt ist, können die Gleiter nach dem Einführen in die Vorhangschiene 1 vom Strang 4 abgetrennt werden, indem der Strang 4 unter einer entsprechenden Kraftanwendung über die Betätigungsschlaufe 5 von den Ösen 3 der Gleiter 2 abgezogen wird. Damit zerfällt die Handhabungseinheit in voneinander gesonderte Gleiter 2, deren gegenseitiger Abstand lediglich durch die Länge der Schlingen 7 der Kordel 6 begrenzt wird. Da die Kordel 6 funktionsbedingt biegeweich ausgebildet sein muss, behindern die Schlingen 7 der Kordel 6 das Einfädeln der durch den Strang 4 zu einer Reihe zusammengefassten Gleiter 2 nicht. Innerhalb der Vorhangschiene 1 muss ja auch für das Zusammenschieben des Vorhangs ausreichend Raum zur Schlingenausbildung der Kordel 6 zwischen den einzelnen Gleitern 2 vorhanden sein.In addition to this connection of the individual sliders 2 through the strand 4, the sliders 2 are additionally connected to each other via a cord 6, which is placed between the individual sliders 2 in slings 7 and clamped to the sliders 2. Since the strand 4 is sprayed onto the eyelets 3 via predetermined breaking points 8, the sliders can be separated after insertion into the curtain rail 1 from the strand 4 by the strand 4 withdrawn under a corresponding application of force on the operating loop 5 of the eyelets 3 of the slider 2 becomes. Thus, the handling unit disintegrates into separate sliders 2 whose mutual distance is limited only by the length of the loops 7 of the cord 6. Since the cord 6 functionally must be flexible designed to hinder the loops 7 of the cord 6 that Threading of the stranded by the strand 4 to a row 2 sliders not. Within the curtain rail 1, there must also be sufficient space for the looping of the cord 6 between the individual gliders 2 for pushing the curtain together.
