Description
- The present invention relates to a curtain, especially to a panel curtain.
- Refer to
Fig. 17 , aconventional panel curtain 40 includes asupport base 41, a plurality ofrail channels 42, a plurality of slidingrails 43, a plurality ofpanels 44 and acord 45. Therail channels 42 are disposed on thesupport base 41 and spaced from each other (there are three in the figure) while each of thesliding rails 43 is mounted on therespective rail channel 42 correspondingly. Each of the slidingrails 43 is provided with twopulleys 431 on top thereof and mounted in therail channel 42 by the twopulleys 431. Thepanels 44 are mounted on thesliding rails 43 respectively. Thecord 45 is disposed on thesupport base 41 for driving one of thesliding wheels 431. A plurality of limitingblocks 432 is arranged at the slidingrails 43 respectively in a staggered manner for limiting movement among the slidingrails 43. - However, the above structure of the conventional panel curtain still has certain shortcomings. The main one is that the sliding
rail 43 is slidably mounted in therail channel 42 of thesupport base 41 by means of thepulleys 431 so that the size of therail channel 42 of thesupport base 41 must be increased in order to match the size of thesliding wheels 431. Thus the production costs and the packaging volume of thesupport base 41 are increased. At the same time, the assembly is more difficult. - Thus there is room for improvement and there is a need to provide a novel panel curtain.
- Therefore it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a panel curtain that overcomes the above shortcomings of the conventional panel curtains.
- In order to achieve the above object, a panel curtain according to the present invention includes an upper track, at least one rail set and a plurality of panels. The upper track is composed of an inner track and an outer track, whereas the inner und outer track are inserted into each other in such a manner that the upper track is telescopically adjustable in length. Two rail channels are disposed on the inner track and the outer track, respectively at the same side and communicating with each other. A plurality of clips is arranged at the top of the upper track. An assembly portion is disposed on the lateral surface of each of the clips and used for fixing two touch fasteners. A curtain fabric is affixed to the two touch fasteners. The rail set consists of a plurality of sliding rails arranged in parallel. Each of the sliding rails is provided with a positioning groove and a limiting groove that are disposed on two lateral surfaces thereof respectively and corresponding to each other while a panel groove is arranged at the bottom of the respective sliding rail. A sliding block is fixed on the distal end of the positioning groove of the respective sliding rail and a barrier piece is extending downward from the sliding block for covering one end of the panel groove. The sliding block is slidably mounted in the limiting groove of the adjacent sliding rail and a limiting block with a buffer spring is disposed on the front end of the limiting groove of the respective sliding rail while a swiveling stopper is pivotally mounted on the distal end of the limiting block. A connecting rib is disposed on the top of the respective sliding rail, whereas a plurality of punch holes is arranged on the respective connecting rib in turn. A connecting sliding block is mounted on the front end of the connecting rib of the respective sliding rail and is provided with a sliding locking portion and a connecting portion.

Each of the slidingrails 21 is provided with apositioning groove 211 and a limitinggroove 212 that are disposed on two lateral surfaces thereof respectively and corresponding to each other while apanel groove 213 is arranged at the bottom of the respective slidingrail 21. A slidingblock 22 is fixed on the distal end of thepositioning groove 211 of the respective slidingrail 21 and is composed of abarrier piece 221 extending downward therefrom for covering one end of thepanel groove 213 and two symmetrical limitingpieces 222 facing the limitinggroove 212 of the adjacent slidingrail 21. Each of the slidingblocks 22 is slidably mounted and limited in the limitinggroove 212 of the adjacent slidingrail 21. A limitingblock 23 with abuffer spring 231 is disposed on the front end of the limitinggroove 212 of the respective slidingrail 21 and is provided with abar 232 protruding therefrom to be outside the limitinggroove 211 for pivotally connected with a swivelingstopper 233. A connectingrib 214 is disposed on the top of the respective slidingrail 21 and is provided with a plurality of punch holes in turn. A connecting slidingblock 24 is mounted on the front end of the connectingrib 214 of the respective slidingrail 21 and is provided with a slidinglocking portion 241 and a connectingportion 242. The length of the connectingportion 242 varies depending on the position of the respective slidingrail 21 among the slidingrails 21 in parallel. Thereby the connecting slidingblock 24 is fixed on the connectingrib 214 of the corresponding slidingrail 21 by the connectingportion 242 in such a manner that the sliding lockingportions 241 are aligned and abut against one another. Aninsertion hole 243 is disposed on the connecting slidingblock 24 at the position facing the opening of therail channel 13 and used in combination with a linkingpiece 25 for connecting at least two connecting slidingblocks 24. Thus the linked slidingrails 21 are moved together. Moreover, the frontmost connecting slidingblock 24 is disposed on the slidingrail 21 that is defined as the first one according to the sequential arrangement and is further provided with acord binding portion 244 while apositioning block 26 is arranged at the distal end of the connectingrib 214 of the slidingrail 21. Thepositioning block 26 is provided with a slidinglocking portion 261 slidably mounted into therail channel 13 of theupper track 10 correspondingly. Apacking piece 262 is disposed on the slidinglocking portion 261 in such a manner that the packing piece is facing the opening of therail channel 13. Thepacking piece 262 is used in combination with afastener 263 and friction-locked by screwing thefastener 263. Thereby thepositioning block 26 is further fixed and limited on theupper track 10. Apanel holding portion 31 is formed on the top of therespective panel 30 and is slidably mounted in thepanel groove 213 of the respective slidingrail 21 in such a manner that the panel holding portion is limited and positioned by thebarrier piece 221 and thestopper 233 on two ends of therespective panel groove 213. - Refer to
Fig. 2-6 , a slidingblock 22 is fixed on the distal end of thepositioning groove 211 and a limitingblock 23 is disposed on the front end of the limitinggroove 212 in each of the slidingrails 21 of the rail set 20. The sliding rails 21 are arranged in parallel and the slidingblock 22 is slid from the distal end of thepositioning groove 211 into the limitinggroove 212 of the adjacent slidingrail 21 so as to connect the slidingrails 21 in turn. When the slidingrail 21 that is defined as the first one according to the sequential arrangement is pulled and the slidingblock 22 thereon is moved along the limitinggroove 212 of another slidingrail 21, the slidingblock 22 abuts against the limitingblock 23 on the front end of the limitinggroove 212 so that the said another slidingrail 21 is also pulled out. Thus the slidingrails 21 are pulled one by one to be extended and thus linked. Apanel 30 is mounted to thepanel groove 213 on the bottom of the respective slidingrail 21 correspondingly. One end of thepanel 30 is limited and positioned by thebarrier piece 221 preset on the slidingblock 22 while the other end thereof is stopped by swiveling of thestopper 233. Thereby the assembly of thepanels 30 is completed. Users can change the pattern or color of thepanels 30 easily. A connecting slidingblock 24 is mounted on the respective slidingrail 21 of the rail set 20. The connectingportions 242 of the connecting slidingblocks 24 are disposed on the front ends of the connectingribs 214 above the slidingrails 21 respectively in turn according to the order of the slidingrails 21, allowing the sliding lockingportions 241 of the connecting slidingblocks 24 to be arranged in parallel and aligned. The connecting slidingblock 24 of the slidingrail 21 that is defined as the first one according to the sequential arrangement is further provided with acord binding portion 244 while apositioning block 26 is mounted on the slidingrail 21 that is defined as the last one according to the sequential arrangement. Thepositioning block 26 is also provided with the slidinglocking portion 261 that is aligned with the sliding lockingportions 241 of the connecting slidingblocks 24. Thus the slidingrails 21 are mounted into therail channel 13 of theupper track 10 by the sliding lockingportions 241 of the connecting slidingblocks 24 and the slidinglocking portion 261 of thepositioning block 26 and are thereby able to slide therein. Thepositioning block 26 is tightly attached to and positioned on the inner wall of therail channel 13 by thepacking piece 262 used in combination with thefastener 263 so as to prevent the slidingrail 21 that is defined as the last one according to the sequential arrangement from being pulled out. The slidingrail 21 that is defined as the last one according to the sequential arrangement is fixed by thepositioning block 26. Moreover, theupper track 10 is used in combination with acord 17 for sliding and moving the rail set 20. Thecord 17 is tied to the connecting slidingblock 24 of the rail set 20 that is defined as the first connecting sliding block according to the sequential arrangement. Thus the assembly of the panel curtain is complete. - In addition, refer to
Fig. 7 , a plurality ofclips 14 is disposed on theupper track 10. Theclips 14 are fixed on the snappingportions outer tracks portions 141 while the twotouch fasteners 15 are fixed on the limitingchannels 143 of theassembly portion 142. Thus the twotouch fasteners 15 are fixed on thesame clip 14 in a staggered manner and the length thereof is fine-adjustable along with telescopically adjusting theupper track 10. Lastly thecurtain fabric 16 is provided for covering and decorating theupper track 10. - While in use, refer to
Fig. 1 andFig. 8-11 , the panel curtain of the present invention is arranged at a preset wall surface of windows or French windows with theupper track 10 for adjusting indoor lighting. In the stacked state (without being extended), thepanels 30 are moved along with the slidingrails 21 of the rail set 20 and held together on one end of theupper track 10. Now the slidingrails 21 are arranged in parallel and thepanels 30 are stacked in layers. In order to pull out thepanels 30 for blocking light, the slidingrail 21 that is defined as the first one according to the sequential arrangement is drawn and moved along therail channel 13 by pulling thecord 17. At the same time, the slidingblock 22 on the distal end of thepositioning groove 211 is moved along the limitinggroove 212 of another slidingrail 21 to abut against the limitingblock 23 on the front end. Furthermore, the limitingblock 23 is provided with thebuffer spring 231 that is used for buffering force applied by the slidingrail 21 and the said another slidingrail 21 is also drawn and moved. Thereby therest sliding rails 21 are slid out along therail channel 13 one after another. Since the slidingrail 21 that is defined as the last one according to the sequential arrangement is firmly pressed onto and fixed on theupper track 10 by thepositioning block 26, it will not be pulled out. Therefore the rail set 20 together with thepanels 30 thereof is fully extended on theupper track 10 so that no light gets in. - Moreover, the
upper track 10 consists of aninner track 11 and anouter track 12 assembled with each other so that theupper track 10 is telescopically adjustable in length. The number of the slidingrails 21 of the rail set 20 can be changed according to the length of theupper track 10. To shorten the total length of theinner track 11 and theouter track 12 assembled, it is also possible to use the rail set 20 in combination with the linkingpiece 25 for shortening the length of the slidingrails 21 with thepanels 30 being extended. The linkingpiece 25 is provided with at least twopins 251 corresponding to the connecting slidingblocks 24. The twopins 251 are inserted into the insertion holes 243 of the two adjacent connecting slidingblocks 24 so that the two connecting slidingblocks 24 are drawn and slid synchronously. Thus the two adjacent slidingrails 21 and thepanels 30 thereof are pulled out at the same time. The area of the panel curtain extended is reduced, by one slidingrail 21 and onepanel 30. Thus theupper track 10 can be shortened and extended for blocking light. Or theupper track 10 in the original size is not fully extended/retracted for light control. In another embodiment, the linkingpiece 25 is provided with threepins 251. Also refer toFig. 11 , three slidingrails 21 and thepanels 30 thereof of the rail set 20 are pulled out at the same time. Thus the area of the panel curtain extended is reduced by two slidingrails 21 and twopanels 30. - To pull the
extended panels 30 in such a way that thepanels 30 stand one behind another for letting light in, thecord 17 is pulled in the opposite direction. The slidingrail 21 that is defined as the first one according to the sequential arrangement is moved back by sliding along therail channel 13 of theupper track 10. While the mentioned slidingrail 21 is sliding in the opposite direction, the connecting slidingblock 24 thereof is abutting against the connecting slidingblock 24 of another sliding rail 21 (the adjacent one) so that the adjacent slidingrail 21 is pushed and drawn back. Thereby the slidingrails 21 are returned to the starting position in turn so that thepanels 30 are moved to the side and stacked. Thus the purpose of light control in the room is achieved. - Refer to
Fig. 12-16 , another embodiment is revealed. It is possible that two rail sets 20 are mounted in theupper track 10. When the two rail sets 20 are pushed together, they are located at the outermost ends of theinner track 11 and theouter track 12 respectively. The connecting slidingblock 24 on the slidingrail 21 of the respective rail set 20 that is defined as the first sliding rail according to the sequential arrangement is provided with acord binding portion 244 and tied with thecord 17. The slidingrail 21 that is defined as the last one according to the sequential arrangement is provided with apositioning block 26. Thepositioning block 26 is provided with apacking piece 262 and friction-locked on theupper track 10 by combining thepacking piece 262 with afastener 263. The coupling of thecord 17 enables the two rail sets 20 to move toward each other for closing the panel curtain or away from each other for opening the panel curtain while in use. The sliding rails 21 of the two rail sets 20 are not aligned and a gap is formed therebetween so that the two rail sets 20 are staggered to close the panel curtain when the slidingrails 21 that are defined as the first one according to the sequential arrangement are abutting against each other. Astaggering spring 27 is arranged at the front end of the slidingrail 21 on the inner side for keeping the above two slidingrails 21 in the staggered state when the slidingsets 20 are staggered. Thereby the state of the two rail sets 20 in use is revealed. - In summary, the panel curtain according to present invention has the following advantages according to the structure of the above embodiments. A connecting sliding
block 24 is disposed on each of the slidingrails 21 of the respective rail set 20 and is provided with a connectingportion 242 whose length varies depending on the order of the slidingrail 21 among the sliding rails in parallel. The connectingportions 242 are used for allowing the sliding lockingportions 241 to be aligned and mounted in therail channel 13 of theupper track 10 after the connecting slidingblocks 24 and the slidingrails 21 being assembled. Thereby volume and size of the upper track are dramatically decreased and the packaging volume is effectively reduced. - Moreover, a sliding
block 22 is fixed on the distal end of thepositioning groove 211 of the respective slidingrail 21 and abarrier piece 221 is extending downward from the slidingblock 22 for covering one end of thepanel groove 213. At the other end of thepanel groove 213, a limitingblock 23 is disposed on the front end of the limitinggroove 212 and is provided with a swivelingstopper 233 for opening and closing thepanel groove 213. Thereby thepanel 30 is limited and positioned simultaneously by thebarrier piece 221 and thestopper 233 while being mounted in thepanel groove 21, without falling off. When users intend to replace thepanel 30, they just need to swivel thestopper 233. Thereby thepanel 30 is pulled out easily. The design helps the replacement of thepanels 30 and the panel curtain is more convenient to use. - Furthermore, the
upper track 10 is used in combination with a plurality ofclips 14 for mounting twotouch fasteners 15 and acurtain fabric 16 is further arranged at thetouch fasteners 15. While the panel curtain is installed and used, theupper track 10 thereof can be covered and decorated by thecurtain fabric 16 for aesthetic purposes so as to enhance consumers' purchase intention. - Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, and representative devices shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalent.
