Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To bring a curtain into close contact with a curved window so as to prevent a clearance from being formed between the curtain and the window, by forming pleats by heat molding in a fabric containing a low melting point component, also forming a curved surface along a window curved surface. SOLUTION: In a low melting point component of fabric of a curtain 3, for instance, 200 deg.C or less melting point desirably 110 deg.C or more melting point such as polyester, polyamide, polypropylene, polyethylene are provided, the fabric is made by mix spinning fibers 200 deg.C or more melting point such as polyester, polyamide, acryl, acetate fiber in fiber. The fabric thus formed has heat molding property, heating to a temperature of softening point or more of a low melting point component contained preveious in the fabric, by cold pressing by a mold form, or without preheating the fabric, by hot press molding at a temperature of softening point or more of a low melting point component contained in the fabric, a pleat 3A is formed. The curtain 3 is placed in a condition along a curved surface of a window 2, accordingly, the curtain 3 is brought into close contact with the window, in-car space is prevented from being narrowed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to curtain fabrics used in automobile windows.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a window of a leisure car or the like has a curved surface in order to give a sporty feeling. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, a curtain (13) is attached to the inside of a window (12) of an automobile sliding door (11), but even if the window (12) is a curved surface, the curtain (13) is The pleats (13) are simply formed with pleats, and are hung linearly from the curtain rail (14) through the slider (15).

[0003]

Therefore, the curtain (1
The window (12) and the curtain (13) do not stick to the curved window (12).
A large gap is formed between them, and the curtain (13) interferes with the person P sitting near the window by narrowing the vehicle interior space.

[0004]

As a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention is a curtain in which pleats are formed on a cloth containing a low melting point component by thermoforming and a curved surface is formed along a curved surface of a window. The melting point of the low melting point component is preferably 200 ° C. or lower and 110 ° C. or higher.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. The curtain (3) shown in the figure consists of a cloth containing a low melting point component, the pleats (3A) are formed by thermoforming, and a curved surface that follows the curved surface of the window (2) of the automobile sliding door (1) is formed. ing.

The low melting point component of the cloth of the curtain (3) is, for example, polyester or polyamide having a melting point of 200 ° C. or lower, preferably 110 ° C. or higher, more preferably 120 ° C. or higher,
Polypropylene, polyethylene, etc., wherein the low melting point component is made into a fiber and mixed with ordinary fibers such as polyester fiber, polyamide fiber, acrylic fiber, acetate fiber having a melting point of 200 ° C. or more to form a cloth, or FIG. As shown in Fig. 3, the normal fiber H is used as the core, and the low melting point component part L
As a sheath to form a core-sheath type composite fiber, or as shown in FIG. 4, a high melting point component portion H and a low melting point component portion L are laminated to form a side-by-side type composite fiber, and the composite fiber alone or the composite fiber And normal fiber are mixed and spun into a cloth.

Such a cloth has thermoformability, and is heated to a temperature above the softening point of the low melting point component contained in the cloth in advance, for example, a split mold (7, 8) as shown in FIG. Is cold-pressed by a molding die (6) made of, or hot-pressed at a temperature not lower than the softening point of the low melting point component contained in the cloth without heating the cloth in advance.

[0008]

The pleats (3A) are formed on the curtain (3) and a curved surface is formed along the curved surface of the window (2) of the automobile sliding door (1) as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Therefore, when the curtain (3) is hung from the curtain rail (4) at the upper edge of the window (2) through the slider (5),
Is along the curved surface of the window (2), so that the curtain (3) does not narrow the interior space of the vehicle in close contact with the window (2) and does not interfere with the person P sitting by the window.
