Description

  The present invention relates to a multiple curtain in which another curtain is attached to the upper edge of the curtain.

  Curtains are widely used as interior goods for windows and doorways. Among these curtains, the upper edge is attached to a hanging tool such as a curtain rail. It is generally used with heavy suspension.

When such a curtain is suspended in a double manner, two curtain rails are required, and there is a problem that a space is required because the space between the curtains is widened. For this reason, a double curtain in which two curtains are integrated has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a double curtain in which two curtains are suspended from a curtain hook that engages with one curtain rail. Further, in Patent Document 2, a curtain hook that is attached to a curtain outer surface having a required color pattern or leopard pattern is engaged with an engagement hole continuously formed on the upper edge of the curtain inner surface, so that the curtain outer surface and the curtain inner surface are attached. An integrated double curtain is described. Further, in Patent Document 3, a translucent curtain and a non-translucent curtain are joined with an upper edge so as to overlap each other, and hung on a curtain rail, and a skirt portion of the non-translucent curtain is formed by a lifting / lowering cord. A double curtain that can be moved up and down is described.

  In the above-mentioned patent document, two curtains are suspended by one curtain rail so as to reduce the gap between them, but only one of the two curtains cannot be opened and closed like a conventional curtain. There is a restriction that must be opened and closed as a unit. In Patent Document 3, the bottom of the non-translucent curtain is moved up and down, but cannot be opened and closed by horizontal pulling as in the conventional curtain.

  For this reason, even if curtain fabrics of different types are combined, the entire back curtain cannot be exposed to the front side, resulting in a reduced decorative effect as an interior product.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a multiple curtain that can open and close the front curtain to expose the back curtain.

The multiple curtain according to the present invention includes a first curtain provided with a suspension engaging member at an upper edge, a rail member made of a strip-shaped sheet material attached along a longitudinal direction of the upper edge, and the rail. And a second curtain provided with an engaging member for suspension which is slidably engaged with the member at an upper edge portion. Further, the rail member is characterized in that the suspension engaging member of the second curtain is slidably engaged with an upper edge portion of the belt-like sheet material. Further, the second curtain is made of a cloth material that can see through the color pattern of the first curtain.

  By having the configuration as described above, the suspension member for suspending the second curtain is slidably engaged with the rail member attached to the upper edge of the first curtain. Can be opened and closed by lateral pulling, and the entire first curtain can be exposed in the same manner as a conventional curtain.

  And if the strip-shaped sheet material attached along the longitudinal direction of the upper edge part of the first curtain is used as the rail member, it can be an extremely simple structure that can be easily applied to a conventional curtain. Less cost burden. In addition, by using a flexible material or a foldable material for the belt-like sheet material, when the first curtain is opened and closed by lateral pulling, the rail member is folded together with the first curtain, enabling a smooth opening and closing operation. Become.

  And, if the engagement member for hanging the second curtain is slidably engaged with the upper edge of the strip-shaped sheet material that is a rail member, the second curtain can be easily attached to and detached from the first curtain, In addition, it is possible to perform a smooth opening / closing operation by lateral pulling of the second curtain.

  Moreover, the decoration effect by the combination of two curtains can be heightened by using the fabric material which can see through the color pattern of a 1st curtain as a 2nd curtain. That is, since two curtains can be installed with a narrow interval, various expression effects can be obtained by combining them. For example, when the second curtain is overlapped with the first curtain, the second curtain shows the color pattern of the first curtain in a semi-transparent light color, and when only the second curtain is horizontally drawn, the color pattern of the first curtain Is directly exposed, and when only the first curtain is laterally drawn, the second curtain is in a translucent state. It can be used as an interior where you can enjoy these various variations.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are preferable specific examples for carrying out the present invention, and thus various technical limitations are made. However, the present invention is particularly limited in the following description. Unless otherwise specified, the present invention is not limited to these forms.

  1 and 2 are external perspective views of an embodiment according to the present invention. The first curtain 1 is suspended by a curtain rail 4, and a rail member 3 is attached and fixed to the upper edge portion of the first curtain 1. The second curtain 2 is suspended by being slidably engaged with the rail member 3.

  FIG. 1 shows a closed state in which the second curtain 2 is laterally drawn and expanded, and is overlapped with the expanded first curtain 1. FIG. 2 shows an open state in which the second curtain 2 is horizontally pulled and folded, and only the first curtain 1 is in a closed state.

  The first curtain 1 and the second curtain 2 can be used in the same manner as a conventional curtain, and a plurality of curtain hooks are attached to the upper edge as suspension engaging members. As the curtain fabric, as in the case of a conventional double curtain, the first curtain 1 on the back side can be a thick curtain having a light shielding property and expressing various design color patterns.

  The second curtain 2 may be made of a transparent curtain fabric such as a lace fabric. In addition to the thin curtain fabric, it is possible to use a warm string type fabric in which a large number of elongated strings are arranged. Moreover, you may use as curtain fabric using a transparent film-like sheet material. And various functions, such as a deodorizing function, may be processed into curtain cloth.

  By superimposing the see-through second curtain 2 on the first curtain 1 with a thick color pattern, the color pattern of the first curtain 1 becomes translucent, and a decorative effect with a light hue appears. Moreover, it is also possible to use a thin fabric having a color pattern for the second curtain 2 to express another different color pattern due to a synergistic effect by overlapping with the color pattern of the first curtain 1. As shown in FIG. 2, when only the second curtain 2 is horizontally pulled and folded, the entire color pattern of the first curtain 1 is directly exposed.

  FIG. 3 is a view from the front side of the first curtain 1 (FIG. 3A) and a view from the back side (FIG. 3B). The first curtain 1 is cut and sewn using a thick fabric like a conventional curtain, and a strip-like rail member 3 is attached to the upper edge portion 1a on the front side and a known curtain hook 10 is provided on the back side. Several are attached.

  The rail member 3 is made of a synthetic resin transparent sheet material, and is attached over the entire length of the upper edge portion 1a in the lateral direction. Both side edge portions and lower edge portions of the rail member 3 are fixed to the upper edge portion 1a by sewing or the like, and can also be used as a curtain interlining. Since the curtain hook of the second curtain 2 is engaged with the upper edge of the rail member 3 and slidably supported, the rail member 3 has a strength capable of supporting the second curtain 2. Further, in order to suppress distortion of the upper edge portion of the rail member 3 due to the engagement of the curtain hook, it may be appropriately sewn in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction at a place other than the peripheral edge portion. In order to increase the strength, a sheet material may be separately stacked and fixed on the lower half.

  Moreover, in order to be able to fold the rail member 3 when the 1st curtain 1 is folded by horizontal drawing, the lower half part of the part used as a crease can be sewed or a notch | incision can be made. Any material can be used as the rail member as long as it is hard for bending in the vertical direction and soft for bending in the horizontal direction.

  FIG. 4 is a view (FIG. 4A) viewed from the front side of the second curtain 2 and a view viewed from the back side (FIG. 4B). Like the conventional curtain, the second curtain 2 is cut and sewn using a thin fabric such as a lace fabric, and a plurality of known curtain hooks 20 are attached to the back side of the upper edge portion 2a. .

  5 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the curtain hook 20 of the second curtain 2 is engaged and supported on the rail member 3, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. A cylindrical engagement hole 1b for mounting the curtain hook 10 is formed on the back side of the upper edge 1a of the first curtain 1, and one end 11 of the curtain hook 10 bent in an S shape is formed. It is inserted into the engaging hole 1b so as to penetrate from the bottom to the top. A support member 40 is slidably accommodated on the curtain rail 4, and a bent portion of the curtain hook 10 is engaged with an engagement ring 41 attached to the support member 40. Although such a hanging structure for the curtain is known, other known structures may be used as the hanging structure for the first curtain 1.

  A rail member 3 made of a transparent sheet made of synthetic resin is attached and fixed to the front side of the first curtain 1. The rail member 3 has a lower edge portion and left and right side edge portions sewn and fixed, and only the upper edge portion is not sewn and opened.

  A cylindrical engagement hole 2b for mounting the curtain hook 20 is formed on the back side of the upper edge 2a of the second curtain 2, and one end 21 of the curtain hook 20 bent in an S-shape is formed. The engagement hole 2b is inserted so as to penetrate from the bottom to the top. Then, the second curtain 2 is suspended by engaging the bent portion of the curtain hook 20 so as to be hooked on the upper edge of the rail member 3.

  The upper edge portion of the rail member 3 that is deformed by the weight of the second curtain 2 is not extremely distorted, and the curtain hook 20 can slide smoothly. Therefore, it becomes possible to open and close easily by pulling only the second curtain 2 sideways. Then, the second curtain 2 can be overlapped with the first curtain 1, and the change in the color pattern of the first curtain 1 due to the overlapping of both can be expressed.

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a modified example of the curtain hook 20 that suspends the second curtain 2. In FIG. 7A, the curtain hook 20 'is curved in a U shape, and the ends of both end portions 21' and 22 'are curved so as to be bent further inward. And the upper part of the rail member 3 is formed so that the 1st curtain 1 side is thicker than the lower part, and the level | step-difference part 3a is formed.

  The curtain hook 20 ′ is attached so as to straddle the upper part of the rail member 3. One end 21 ′ is inserted into the engagement hole of the second curtain 2, and its tip is curved upward to engage the lower end of the engagement hole to firmly support the second curtain 2. It becomes like this. Further, the other end 22 'has a tip bent upward and engaged with the step 3a. Then, the curtain hook 20 ′ slides on the upper part of the rail member 3 while being engaged with the stepped portion 3 a, and the second curtain 2 can be opened and closed in a stable state.

  In FIG. 7 (b), the curtain hook 20 "is curved and formed in a" "shape, and one end 21" formed so as to bend upward penetrates the engagement hole of the second curtain 2. The other end 22 ″ extending downward is attached so as to straddle the upper part of the rail member 3, and slides on the upper part of the rail member 3. .

  In the example described above, it is possible to easily multiplex by fixing another rail member to the upper edge of the second curtain and detachably attaching another curtain. It is also possible to easily multiplex the plurality of curtains by slidably attaching the plurality of curtain members by fixing the plurality of rail members with the upper edge portion of the first curtain being wide. Then, the multiplexed curtains can be separately pulled horizontally and opened and opened, and the variation of the color pattern depending on the combination of curtains can be increased.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing an open state in which both the first curtain 1 and the second curtain 2 are horizontally pulled and folded. In this state, the rail member 3 is also folded in the same manner as the first curtain 1 is folded. Therefore, an opening / closing operation similar to that of a conventional double curtain can be performed.
