Description
n r 2219191 A curtain pulling means comprising a pulling member _guided
and displaceable in a hollow profiled rail 1 The invention relates to a curtain pulling means of the type comprising, guided and displaceable in a hollow profiled rail, a pulling member for moving a single or multi-element curtain, the ends of the pulling member being connected to each other and the pulling member having equidistantly disposed apertures engaged by teeth of a drive wheel.
A curtain pulling means of this type is already known from DE-A-2.7 29 491. This comprises a pulling member which is produced by extrusion and subsequent stamping. With this curtain pulling means, there is the difficulty that the friction of the pulling member in a curbed hollow profile rail and at the drive is comparatively great and that the production of the pulling member is.complicated and expensive. Long systems incorporating several curves are not viable to drive heavy curtains or they require a particularly powerful driving motor.
The invention is based on the problem of providing a curtain pulling means of the type described above which requires a substantially reduced driving power and which can in addition be more inexpensively produced. The curtain pulling means should be suitable for large installations- where there are bends and with an electrical rotary drive and should operate with comparatively little noise.
According to the present invention here is provided ja curtain pulling means of the type described, wherein the pulling member consists of curtain pulling means comprising, guided and displaceable in a hollow profiled rail, a pulling member for moving a single or multi- element curtain, the ends of the pulling member being connected o each other, and the pulling member having equidistantly disposed apertures engaged by teeth of a drive wheel, characterised in that the pulling member consists of individual bodies of comparatively hard and readily sliding synthetic plastics material and, disposed parallel with each other, two cords, each body having is ends fixed to respective cords. The individual bodies are preferably cylindrical and the cords made of steel strand.
Tests have shown that in the case of a conventional curtain system the power needed to move the curtain can be reduced by the invention from 27 Nm to 6 Nm. Manufacture of the curtain pulling means is substantially simpler and costs less, since the pulling tape can be produced in one operation,in an injection moulding process. The noise of movement is surprisingly low which is why the curtain pulling means according to the invention can also be used in conference rooms.
Claims (9)
1.- Curtain pulling means comprising, guided and displaceable in a hollow profiled rail (5), a pulling member (1) for moving a single or multielement curtain, the ends of the pulling member (1) being connected to each other, and the pulling member (1) having equidistantly disposed apertures (4) engaged by teeth (11) of a drive wheel (10), characterised in that the pulling member (1) consists of individual bodies (2) of comparatively hard and readily sliding synthetic plastics material and, disposed parallel with each other, two cords (3). each body (2) having its ends (24) fixed to respective cords (3).
2. Curtain pulling means according to Claim 1, characterised in that the individual bodies (2) are cylindrical and the cords (3) are made of steel strand.
3. Curtain pulling means according to Claim 2, characterised in that the steel strand cords (3) are cast into the bodies (2) which are produced by an injection moulding process.
4. Curtain pulling means according to Claim 2 or 3, characterised in that the distance between any two adjacent bodies (2) is greater than the distance between the steel strand cords (3).
5. Curtain pulling means according to any of Claims 2, 3 or 4 characterised in that the drive wheel (10) has on both sides of its teeth (22) guide surfaces (13) on which bear exposed portions of the steel strand cords (3) which are arcuately aligned and in that there are between the teeth (11) and extending transversely to the J I longitudinal direction of the pulling member (1), depressions (12) provided in the drive wheel (10) for the bodies(2).
6. Curtain pulling means according to Claim 3, characterised-in that the steel strand cords (3) consist of more than three strands for each of a plurality of wires.
7. Curtain pulling means according to any one of Claims 2 to 6. characterised in that the bodies (2) are substantially 13 mm long, the ends (24) of the bodies (2) projecting about 2 mm beyond the steel strand cords (3).
8. Curtain pulling means according to any one of Claims 1 to 7, characterised in that the pulling member (1) comprises at least one precursor (30) comprising two projections (31) which engage on either side of a body (2) between the cords (3).
9. Curtain pulling means substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to any of the Figures of the accompanying drawings.
