Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a plurality of vertically extended and mutually parallel pleats in a curtain cloth which can be put together without being voluminous. so as to improve its fashionability. CONSTITUTION:Along the hanging direction of a curtain 10, a plurality of pleats 12 are parallelly formed, and when the curtain 10 is put together, let respective parts 14 between the pleats 12 form uniform chevrons and curve. These pleats 12 are shaped by using two patterns 30 which are made of paper 32 having a special function for processing pleats with folding lines 34a through 34f at regular intervals. Namely, with the folding lines 34a through 34f of each pattern 30 made boundaries, the middle parts 36a through 36g are shaped like chevrons by using rods. The curtain cloth is sandwiched between the two patterns 30, 30, made round, and pressed and heated by steam. Then after removing remaining steam by reducing the pressure by a vacuum pump, the cloth is dried in its rounded state, and then the patterns 30 are taken out.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a curtain and a method for manufacturing the curtain, and more particularly, to a curtain suitable for hanging not only on a window of a home but also on a window of a train or an airplane, and the curtain. Manufacturing method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional curtain, a flat curtain material is generally provided with metal fittings attached to a curtain rail fixed at an appropriate interval.

In such a curtain, as shown in FIG. 6, the curtain 100 is stretched from the state in which the curtain 100 is expanded to the window.
When pulling together and putting together, and trying to fasten the substantially central portion with the curtain fastening 102, the upper portion 104 of the curtain 100
Then, the lower part 106 spreads, and the entire curtain swells, making it difficult to put together.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to make it extremely easy to assemble without swelling when assembled at a window or the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a curtain and a method of manufacturing the curtain which are highly fashionable both when they are put together and when they are unfolded.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the curtain in the present invention is formed by forming a plurality of pleats that extend in the hanging direction and are parallel to each other on the curtain material.

Further, in the method for manufacturing a curtain according to the present invention, a plurality of fold lines parallel to each other are put on a special function paper for pleating, and each portion between the fold lines is curved into a mountain shape to form a mountain shape portion. The two patterns are formed such that the tops of the chevron-shaped portions extend parallel to the fold lines, the curtain material is sandwiched between the two patterns, and the curtain material is pressed against the two patterns. The curtain material fixed and sandwiched between the two patterns is pressurized and heated with steam to form pleats at a portion corresponding to the crease line of the curtain material and the chevron shape of the curtain material. The portion corresponding to the portion is formed so as to be curved in a mountain shape.

[0007]

According to the present invention, since the pleats are formed on the curtain, the curtain hangs along the pleats, and even when the curtains are put together near a window,
It's very easy to put together without bulging.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the curtain and the method for manufacturing the curtain according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a curtain 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, which is gathered by a window or the like.
1 shows a view of the curtain 10 shown in FIG.

As described above, in the curtain 10, a plurality of pleats 12 which are parallel to each other are formed along the hanging direction of the curtain 10. Therefore, when the curtains 10 are put together, an intermediate portion between the pleats 12 is formed. The portion 14 is curved into a uniform mountain shape and naturally hangs along the extension direction of the pleat 12. Therefore, even when the central portion of the curtain 10 is fastened by the curtain fastening 16, the upper portion 18 and the lower portion 20 of the curtain 10 do not spread and the whole does not swell, which makes it very easy to put together. Also, it is extremely fashionable.

Although not shown in the drawing, the pleats 12 also serve as an accent when it is unfolded, which makes it extremely fashionable.

The curtain 10 described above is manufactured by the manufacturing method described below.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, on a special function paper 32 for pleating generally used in pleating, six crease lines are formed at equal intervals on a portion where pleats are to be formed with a writing brush. 34a to 34f are put into the pattern 3
Form 0. In the case of the present embodiment, the vertical 205c
The special function paper 30 having a size of m and a width of 100 cm is used.

As described above, the paper pattern 30 having the same size and the six fold lines 34a to 34f at the same position.
2 sheets are made, and the intermediate portion 36a is formed by using a round bar with the crease lines 34a to 34f of the respective pattern 30 as boundaries.
36 g to 36 g are formed in a chevron shape (FIG. 4).

After the curtain material is sandwiched between the pair of pattern papers 30 thus formed, the curtain material is rolled so as not to be displaced between the pattern papers 30 (FIG. 5) and put in a steamer for heating. Heat with pressure.

In the steam cooker, the steam is adjusted to "7.0 kg / cm ² " by the boiler and then the pressure is reduced to "-50 Hg" by the vacuum pump. Furthermore, the steam pressure is "2.0 kg / cm ² " and the temperature is "120 ° C".
After setting to, turn off the steam and leave it for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes have passed, the pressure is once reduced to "-50 Hg" by the vacuum pump to remove the steam remaining in the curtain material, and then the rolled pattern paper 30 and the curtain material are cooked. Pull out from inside and dry as it is. And after drying,
The curtain material is removed from the paper pattern 30.

By the manufacturing method as described above, the crease line 3 is formed.
The pleats 12 are formed at the portions corresponding to 4a to 34f, and the intermediate portion 14 between the pleats 12 is the intermediate portion 14 that is curved in a uniform mountain shape.
Can be obtained.

The curtain 10 is suitable not only for windows for home use but also for windows for trains and airplanes. That is, in the windows of trains and airplanes,
Although it is not possible to take a large space to store the curtain when it is closed, the curtain 10 can be attached without any problem in terms of space if the curtain 10 is very easy to be assembled without expanding.

In the above embodiment, the pleats 1
The number of 2 is 6, but it is not limited to this, and the sizes of the paper pattern 30 and the curtain material are not limited to those in the above embodiment.

Further, the operating conditions of the steam cooker and the vacuum pump are not limited to those in the above-mentioned embodiment, and may be appropriately changed depending on the size of the paper pattern 30, the curtain material, the material of the curtain material, and the like. Of course.

[0022]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

Since a plurality of pleats extending in the hanging direction and parallel to each other are formed on the curtain fabric, the curtain hangs along the pleats, so that the curtain does not swell even when it is put together near a window. It can be easily organized.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a curtain which is extremely easy to assemble without swelling when it is assembled at a window or the like, and which has a high fashionability both when it is assembled and when it is expanded.
