Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suspension system having at least one curtain glider and at least one adapter for connection to the curtain glider.
  • curtain gliders are known from the prior art.
  • the main task of such curtain gliders is to slidably hang curtains on a curtain rail so that they can be opened and closed as required.
  • the curtain gliders usually have sliding means in the form of an undercut, sliding tongues or legs for engaging in a sliding profile of the curtain rail, so that they can be moved along the curtain rail.
  • the curtain gliders usually have a suspension device in the form of an opening, sleeve or eyelet for attaching part of the upper edge of a curtain.
  • the curtain can be sewn directly to the suspension device or attached to the suspension device indirectly, for example via a hook.
  • Such a curtain glider is, for example, from DE 10 2009 025 771 A1 famous.
  • the curtain glider has sliding means 5 in the form of a sliding tongue, which can engage in a corresponding profile of a slide rail.
  • the curtain glider points, as in 1 is shown, a suspension device 3 on.
  • a loop for example on a curling tape of the curtain, can be passed through the suspension device 3 and sewn in the suspension device 3 so that the curtain slider is firmly connected to the curtain.
  • a curtain glider which engages in a slide profile of a curtain rail and can be coupled with an attachment part for a curtain.
  • the attachment part has a coupling attachment which passes through a passage opening in a coupling section of the curtain glider provided below the curtain rail and is supported with a widened head on the edge of the passage opening so that it cannot be pulled out. Since the widened head is formed by two head halves that can be displaced towards one another against a spring bias, the head with the head halves lying against one another can be pushed through the passage opening in the curtain glider axially, so that the head halves, after the passage due to the spreading caused by the spring bias, spread the edge of the passage opening encroach.
  • the curtain fasteners rotatably held in the through hole of the curtain sliders can be coupled to the curtain sliders without detaching the fasteners from the curtain or the curtain slider from the curtain rail.
  • curtains can only be connected to the curtain gliders using the attachment parts.
  • an adapter for connection to a curtain glider which overcomes the disadvantages known from the prior art.
  • an adapter to which a part of the curtain can be attached is to be provided, which can be easily and securely connected to a curtain slider and does not change its orientation relative to the curtain slider, so that the appearance of the curtain is not spoiled.
  • the adapter has means for connecting to a hanging device of the curtain glider at a first end and at least one means for hanging at least part of at least one curtain at a second end opposite the first end.
  • the means for connecting provide at least one clip connection, each of which has at least one elastic wing part as clip means, which are attached to the suspension device.
  • the means for hanging is in the form of an opening, a hook or a retaining clip and has in particular an eyelet for at least partially inserting at least one loop of a curtain, in particular a loop on a ruffled strip of the curtain.
  • the means for detachable connection are adapted to create such a connection with the suspension device and the curtain glider that the adapter is held essentially stationary relative to the curtain glider, in particular an orientation of the adapter relative to the curtain glider can only be changed when the connection is released.
  • the adapter has a first edge section at its first end in the longitudinal direction of the adapter, the first edge section being adapted to at least partially cover one side of the eyelet of the suspension device, and the clip means being arranged on the first edge section in such a way that the clip means engage at multiple locations of the hanger.
  • the means for the detachable connection be adapted to detach the detachable connection in the event of a tensile load, in particular on the second end of the adapter, from 5 kg, preferably from 10 kg.
  • the adapter has at least a second edge section at the first end of the adapter in the longitudinal direction of the adapter, the second edge section lying opposite the first edge section and being adapted, at least partially, to a second side of the opening in the suspension device, which in particular is opposite the first side of the opening, with at least one second connection means, in particular clip means, being arranged on the second edge section.
  • An adapter according to the invention can also be characterized in that the means for hanging is configured essentially identically to the hanging device of the curtain glider.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the adapter provides that the means for hanging has a hook, in particular a closable hook, or a retaining clip, in particular a spring-loaded retaining clip, preferably for holding at least one loop of a curtain, in particular a loop on a curling ribbon of the curtain .
  • first end and the second end of the adapter are adapted to be rotatable and/or displaceable relative to one another.
  • Damaged curtain gliders can be replaced more easily by using an adapter according to the invention since the curtain glider is no longer sewn directly to the curtain.
  • curtains that are provided with adapters according to the invention can be exchanged more easily and quickly, since the curtain sliders do not have to be threaded into the curtain rails.
  • the design of the adapter in particular ensures that a stationary position relative to the curtain glider is achieved, i.e. the adapter and the curtain glider are arranged essentially rigidly with respect to the curtain glider or the adapter does not change its orientation relative to the curtain glider despite the use of the adapter, the desired orientation of the curtain relative to the curtain glider or to a slide rail is ensured.
  • no additional degrees of freedom of movement of the curtain are generated in comparison to a direct attachment of the curtain to the curtain slider, in particular the suspension device of the curtain slider.
  • the appearance of the curtain particularly during movement such as being collapsed or expanded, is unaffected by the addition of the adapter.
  • the detachable connection is strong enough to reliably connect the curtain to the curtain glider via the adapter and, at the same time, to release the connection non-destructively from a certain tensile load.
  • adapters with different upper load limits can advantageously be used for this purpose. Separating the detachable connection at loads of 5 kg has proven to be particularly advantageous, since this limit allows a secure connection between the curtain glider and the adapter according to the invention, but at the same time with extraordinary loads, for example, by a small child pulling the curtain or by pinching a end of the curtain arise, the detachable connection separates.
  • the adapter according to the invention thus offers improved security.
  • this upper load limit can be set individually for different areas of use through the number and configuration of the particularly elastic connecting means.
  • Adapters according to the invention with an edge section and clips arranged on it are particularly well suited to expected tensile loads from below and from the side, ie the side without an edge section, where adapters according to the invention with two edge sections and clips arranged thereon are particularly well suited suitable for expected tensile loads mainly from below.
  • the means for hanging can be used in exactly the same way as the hanging device.
  • the means for hanging can also have hook elements or spring-loaded retaining clips for holding a curtain as an alternative or in addition to the opening. So a large number of possible areas of application can be covered with the adapter according to the invention.
  • the first end of the adapter according to the invention can also advantageously be twisted relative to the second end of the adapter according to the invention, so that the adapter can advantageously assume the function of a folding hook.
  • the distances between the ends of the adapter according to the invention can also advantageously be changed horizontally and/or vertically, for example via snap-in connections. As a result, the adapter can be used for a large number of different curtains and curtains.
  • the adapter according to the invention can also be produced particularly easily and inexpensively if the adapter is made of plastic material and is produced by injection molding, in particular in one piece.
  • the adapter 7 has means for hanging 9 at least part of a curtain.
  • the means for hanging 9 are essentially modeled on the hanging device 3 of the curtain glider 1, since the means for hanging 9 take on the task of the hanging device 3 when the adapter 7 is connected to the curtain glider 1.
  • the means for hanging 9 is essentially formed by an opening to which the curtain can be sewn directly or connected to the opening by means of hook elements (not shown).
  • the means for hanging 9 is essentially formed by the opening shown, but in other embodiments the means for hanging can also be designed as a hook (not shown), for example by a lockable hook, or by a retaining clip (not shown ), for example by a spring-loaded retaining clip.
  • first connecting means 13a, 13b, 13c which act as clip means, each with at least one elastic wing part
  • first connecting means 13a, 13b, 13c or the respective elastic wing parts can be dimensioned in such a way that the detachable connection is automatically released from a certain tensile load, in order to prevent damage to the curtain glider 1 and also to the adapter 7 .
  • the first connection means 13a, 13b, 13c are arranged on a first edge portion 11a of the adapter 7 at a first end of the adapter 7 opposite a second end where the hanging means 9 is located.
  • the first edge portion 11a runs in the longitudinal direction of the adapter 7 and at least partly covers one side of the hanger 3 or the opening of the hanger 3.
  • the first clipping means 13a, 13b, 13c are thus at the first edge portion 11a of the adapter 7 arranged that the first connection means 13a, 13b, 13c engage at several points of the suspension device 3.
  • the orientation of the adapter 7 is fixed relative to the curtain glider 1.
  • the means for hanging may be rotatable and/or translatable relative to the means for connecting.
  • the means can be decoupled from one another via a suitable decoupling means, for example via a rotatably mounted retaining pin, in such a way that a 360° rotation relative to one another is made possible.
  • the means can also be displaceable relative to one another in the horizontal and/or vertical direction, for example via further clamping or latching connections.
  • FIG. 3a to 3d perspective views of a second embodiment of an adapter 7' according to the invention are shown together with a curtain glider 1.
  • the adapter 7' essentially differs from the adapter 7' in that the means for connecting comprise a connecting or clip means 13a', 15a' on each side.
  • the clip means 13a' and 15a' are each arranged on a first edge section 11a' or on a second edge section 11b', which extend in the longitudinal direction of the adapter 7' and are adapted, at least partially, to one side of the suspension device 3 or to cover the opening formed therewith.
  • the clip means 13a' and 15a' engage both sides of the suspension device 3 in order to establish a connection between the adapter 7' and the curtain glider 1.
  • the adapter 7, 7' and the curtain glider 1 can have a width of 10 mm and the means for hanging can have a total height of 8.4 mm.
  • the adapter 7 'at the thickest point, or at the first and the second edge portion 11a', 11b 'a have a depth of 4.7 mm.
  • the person skilled in the art knows that the dimensions can also be different depending on the desired area of application.
