200808235 (1) 九、發明說明 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係有關於一種帘子設備（Drap ery Hardware ) ，特別是有關於懸掛窗簾或幔帘的軌條。 【先前技術】 家庭用的情形中最常用來將窗簾配置於窗戶上的二種 φ 型式是利用一軌條上設置多個滑件，每一滑件均結合至窗 簾之邊緣上，或是使用一貫穿過多個索孔的桿。窗簾在吊 掛在該軌條或桿上時，通常會設置成具有多個打褶部。 在將窗簾拉開通過窗戶時，要保持均勻的打褶部，有 時會是一項困擾。人們會需要能有著美觀的外表，亦即打 褶部間具有均勻的間距。 針對不均勻之打褶部所提出的解決方案包括有在窗簾 處於打褶狀態下將一膠片橫過其背側加以車縫住，或是以 φ 塑膠片自一孔眼延伸至另一孔眼，以提供間隔/限制的功 能。 , 這二種方案都需要在製造窗簾時做額外的操作，並且 ^ 會成爲窗簾永久的一部份。再者，這些方案並不適合應用 於目前已裝設於家庭內的窗簾上。 【發明內容】 在本發明的第一觀點中，其提供一種帘子設備，用以 安裝一窗簾，包含有一支撐裝置，以及自其上延伸出的窗 -4- 200808235 (2) 簾結合裝置，可供交替地結合至窗簾之打褶部的突起部及 凹陷部上。 本發明的此一達成均勻打褶部的企圖，可以數種不同 的方式來實施之。第一種方式是設置二支撐件（例如軌條 、軌道、桿、或其等平行設置的組合），且在其每一者上 設有滑動窗簾結合器，再將一窗簾以打褶部的突起部及凹 陷部交替地連接至每一支撐件上的結合器。 φ 另一方面，在本發明的第二觀點中，其提供一種帘子 設備，包含有第一及第二窗簾支撐件（例如軌條、軌道或 桿），用以接收一窗簾結合裝置，以將該窗簾交替地結合 至該等第一及第二打褶部支撐件上。 最好，該等第一及第二窗簾支撐件是以分隔開的關係 固定在一起。但是，在某一種型式中，該等第一及第二窗 簾支撐件可以由調整裝置加以分隔開，以供增加或減少他 們間的間距。 φ 最好，該等第一及第二支撐件是二根平行的窗簾軌條 或是一根窗簾軌條及一根窗簾桿。 k 該第二觀點亦可轉換成一種安裝窗簾的方法，包含有 下列步驟： 安裝一第一窗簾支撐件，以及一平行於該第一窗簾支 撐件的第二窗簾支撐件； 透過該等第一及第二支撐件間交替的結合裝置來將一 窗簾安裝於該等支撐件上。 很明顯的，此方法可以透過以平行的方式架設一第二 -5- 200808235 (3) 支撐件，並將一窗簾交替地懸掛於其等之間的改良而修改 一現存之窗簾支撐件。 達成前述之均勻打措邰的企圖的第二種方式是在一單 一的支撐軌條上設置特殊的結合器，該等結合器沿著交替 的方向延伸出以供連接至窗簾之打褶部的突起部及凹陷部 〇 因此，在本發明的第三觀點中，其提供一種帘子設備 Φ ，包含有一主支撐件（例如軌條、軌道或桿），用以接收 多個窗簾結合裝置，其中窗簾結合裝置係沿著與相鄰之窗 簾結合裝置交替的方向自該支撐件上延伸出。 該主支撐件可以是具有習知的設計，但是該等窗簾結 合裝置則包含有一延伸的支柱，自其懸掛軸線向外突伸出 (且在使用上是大致上垂直於該主支撐件的縱長軸線）， 並設有一連接器裝置於其遠側末端，以供與一窗簾結合。 因此，相鄰的窗簾結合裝置係交替地設置而相對於該 Φ 支撐件沿著互相相反的向外（最好是垂直）方向延伸。 最好，每一窗簾結合裝置均係可滑動地裝設於該主支 I 撐件上或內。用來結合窗簾的該連接器裝置可以是一夾具 、環圈或其他適當的機構。 在某一種型式中，該窗簾結合裝置可以由一分隔元件 加以連接起來。該分隔元件可以是撓性或硬質的。 根據本發明所得到的窗簾的外觀是一種打褶的結構， 其在平面圖上是在該等窗簾結合裝置間呈鋸齒狀。因此該 窗簾在拉開位置上會具有更加均勻一致的打褶部，且在未 -6- (4) 200808235 拉開位置上可收疊地更加密集及整齊，讓更多的 至房間內。 根據本發明安裝的窗簾也能夠比以習用方式 有相同重量的窗簾移動的更自由些（也就是更容 ，因爲其可以有效地具有比習用窗簾支撐件多二 連接點。這些額外的支撐件相當於能以更小的力 窗簾。 【實施方式】 本發明的基本原則是最清楚地顯示於第2圖 的窗簾支撐件，即桿1 1及軌條1 2，係以平行的 壁設置（通常位於建築物內的窗戶上方）。一窗 置成交替地結合於該桿11 (透過環21)及軌條 滑移件1 5 )之間，以形成鋸齒狀的平面視圖。 撐件11及12上可使其可以同時控制窗簾13中 • 的前側及後側。 在本說明中，該窗簾的配置是稱爲“鋸齒狀 、具有“突起部及凹陷部”。他們是可交互使用， .呼在窗簾中所希望達到的打褶特性。 在第1圖中，該窗簾的結合器是滑件15, 可選用的孔15a及15b，用以結合（透過習用的 未顯示）至該窗簾上。這些孔係配合於桿1 1的 標準的16-19公釐桿中要使用上孔15a。在標準白 桿中則要使用下孔1 5b。這些可確保窗簾打摺部 光線進入 安裝而具 易拉動） 倍數量的 量來移動 中。一對 方面沿牆 簾13設 12 (透過 結合至支 之打褶部 ”形狀或 並用以稱 其包含有 鉤元件， 厚度。在 )28公釐 能夠以相 200808235 (5) 同的高度均勻地連接於該等第一及第二支撐件之間。 滑件1 5亦包含有一珠鍊控制繩鎖1 5 c，設於其遠側 末端。如第2圖及第3圖中所示，其可接收一珠鍊繩2 6 ，其可提供打褶部的分隔功能。以此方式進行分隔可以進 一步改善本發明所欲達成的打褶部均勻性。 第4圖至第6圖顯示出根據本發明之用來懸掛窗簾的 雙軌條系統的另種實施例。在第4圖中，滑件15包含有 φ 一夾具15d，設於其遠側末端，用以連接至窗簾上。自該 滑件1 5的後側突伸出的是一繩鎖1 5 e，因此在安裝一珠 鍊繩時（如同第2圖及第3圖），其可以整齊地隱藏於窗 簾的後方而不被看到。 類似的滑件配置亦可見於第5圖及第6圖。 特別參閱第6圖，此實施例的進一步改良包含有可將 其直接安裝至天花板（而不是以托架19安裝於牆壁W) 上，並可加設照明效果。 φ 第6圖之實施例的薄型外型在安裝窗簾時，可以讓窗 簾看起來幾乎像是“漂浮”著，因爲從房間內的大部份位 ^ 置上均僅能看到薄的邊緣1 1 a。 第7圖顯示出一種“扭暨鎖”的分隔元件，其可以一 種向面對牆壁的方式安裝於一軌條1 2 (第8圖）（與先 前圖式中向下的方式相比較）。此分隔元件30可以插入 至軌條1 2上所設的槽1 4內，而後扭轉以防止其自槽！ 4 內脫出。珠鍊繩2 6即可將元件3 0維持於均勻的間距，如 第8圖中所示。 -8 - 200808235 (6) 第9圖至第11圖顯示出本發明之一實施例，其係僅 使用單一軌條，而不同於前面所描述的平行雙軌條。 軌條3 1包含有一槽32，以供以通常的方式接受一窗 簾結合元件3 3。本發明的功效在於結合器元件3 3本身上 。如第1 〇圖及第1 1圖中所最清楚看到的，結合器3 3是 一種具有一可供嚙合並留置於槽32內之頭部34、一向下 延伸本體35、及一垂直延伸支柱36的滑件設計。在該支 φ 柱3 6的遠側末端設有一連接器裝置3 7，其可以是一夾具 或僅爲一孔，用以容受一鉤或其他此技藝中所知悉的窗簾 連接器。 可以暸解到，支柱3 6可以不必真正地垂直，只有其 能夠自該懸掛軸線大致上向外延伸即可。 在支柱36之本體末端處設有一珠鍊鎖38，用以容置 珠鍊繩26，以施行分隔之功能。 在安裝以供使用時，窗簾1 3的突出部P及凹陷部T • 係由結合器3 3交替地連接至軌條3 1上。這可保持窗簾 1 3於具有均勻高度（由支柱3 6之長度所界定）及寬度（ . 由珠鍊繩26所界定）的打褶狀態。 ^ 軌條31可以具有習用的設計，或是新穎的結構及形 狀。 第12圖至第1 4圖顯示出類似於第9圖至第1 1圖之 軌條/結合器的實施例，除了該分隔裝置是設於軌條3 1 的內部（並隱藏於視線之外）。 在此實施例中，一硬質的分隔元件3 9可在一設於結 -9- 200808235 (7) 合器33之頭部34上方的夾具40內滑動。設在元件39之 遠側末端的止擋件41會卡住相鄰結合器33的夾具40， 以防止進一步的移動。以此方式，當窗簾“打開”（緊密 地集攏打摺部）時，該等分隔元件39是以一種交錯的方 式疊合在一起，但可在該窗簾13拉引關閉時，張開至完 全伸展的間隔狀態。 此種分隔器系統的結構是直立式百葉窗技藝中所已知 φ 的。其相較於珠鍊繩的優點在於隱藏於軌條31內，但是 珠鍊繩裝置也是可以隱藏於軌條3 1 (藉由將珠鍊鎖裝設 於頭部3 4上）而達成相同的效果。 第15圖至第17圖顯示出另一種實施例，其中軌條 3 1具有三角形截面形狀。除此之外，結合器3 3在槽3 2 內的滑移動作是和先前所描述者相同。 如第15圖所示，一珠錬繩26跨伸於間隔的結合器 33上，該等結合器在支柱36的遠側末端上設有一珠鍊鎖 Φ 3 8。這可確保該珠鍊繩能保持著朝向著後側的狀態，而與 第9圖相比較下，更隱藏於視線外。 . 結合器33的尺寸是可套設於現有的軌條上，或是改 _ 良成能配合桿來使用。例如說，頭部34可以由一可穿套 於窗簾桿上的環來加以取代。 第1 8圖至第2 0圖顯示出另一實施例，其特點在於三 角形的軌條3 1及滑動的分隔器元件39，如第1 2圖所示 般。其他的操作則是相同的。 第21圖至第24圖顯示出另一種形式的滑件1 5 ° — -10- 200808235 (8) 般而言，每一（背側）滑件包含有一 “ G字形”珠鍊鎖 15d，其可供自側邊安裝珠鍊繩26，不同於先前之實施例 (例如第1圖）中所示之貫穿過鎖孔1 5 c。這可提供安裝 程序上額外的變化性。滑件1 5亦具有一孔1 5 a，用以收 容一窗簾鉤42。 在第21圖至第24圖中顯示出各種的軌條型式，包括 第24圖中的“ C字及J字”型式的側邊安裝式軌道，其 φ 亦詳細地顯示於第26圖內。第26圖是相當於第8圖，除 了其包含有一具有G字型珠鍊鎖1 5d的背側滑件43 (執 行第8圖中分隔元件3 0的功能）。 參閱第25a圖，滑件43是設置成可在軌道12上自由 地滑動，而第25b圖中的滑件則是設置成可夾扣於軌道 1 2的背側。 第27圖顯示出一種應用於第9圖至第20圖中所示之 “單一軌條”實施例上的滑件。其發現到，使用單一構造 • 的滑件（例如如第1 0圖中所示者）是非常不合用的，因 爲無論安裝於打褶部的那一側，自窗簾1 3的前側均能看 . 到連接器裝置37。爲克服此問題，第27圖顯示出一種鵝 _ 頸式滑移件，其係以一（回彎）曲線延伸至一個在安裝時 會位在窗簾後方的位置處。如此，連接器裝置37及窗簾 鉤（42 )全都是結合至該窗簾的單一側上。該結合側是無 法自安裝該窗簾的房間內看到的。 在使用上，交替的滑件（例如分別如第1 〇圖及第2 7 圖中所示者）互相配合而能改善安裝好之後的窗簾的外觀 -11 - 200808235 ⑼ 其也可以使用習用的滑件，與本發明的特殊滑件（第 10圖或第27圖）交錯的使用，以達成本發明之打褶的功 效。以此方式，僅有每隔二個的滑件會自支撐裝置（軌條 31)側向延伸出去。但是此季種配置會在結合裝置上造成 不平衡的應力。 第28圖顯示出一打褶部分隔機構44的示意圖。此係 一剪刀型可收式結構，其可在打褶部拉開時，將窗簾的打 褶部控制成相同的大小。此種剪刀型機構最好是結合至一 滑移件3 3上，而此滑移件則結合至窗簾1 3上。 第29圖顯示出一種用來調整支撐軌條1 1、1 2間之間 距的配置之一例。其需要有樞接在每一末端上的橋接件 25。此種配置在軌條是相同型式（不同於第2圖中所示之 桿及軌條）時最有用，但是任何的組合均是可行的。 所有的這些零組件均是由現有的材料及製程加以製做 的。軌條及桿一般是金屬結構（或者桿是木製的）。而爲 經濟效益之故，滑件是塑膠材料的射出成型模製品。 本發明針對裝設於軌條、軌道、桿或任何類似者上的 窗簾上的雜亂而不均勻之打褶部提出優美的解決方案。 應注意到，本發明有一項重要而未預見的優點，即是 當打摺部具有二倍於習用設計的懸掛連接點時，他們可以 更輕易的拉動。如此，即可消除笨重的紡織物窗簾的缺點 (“笨重”是指對於拉引的阻力）。 熟知此技藝之人士在參考前述的說明後，應可輕易得 -12- 200808235 (10) 知安裝及修改窗簾以得到本發明之效果的方法。現有的窗 簾可能會需要裝設供滑件（結合器）用的額外固定點，但 除此之外，應能相當輕易地修改之。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖是根據本發明之一實施例的帘子設備的末端立 面圖。 B 第2圖是第1圖中之窗簾拉開及未拉開的平面圖。 第3圖分別是根據第一實施例的前側及後側立面圖。 第4圖至第6圖是根據本發明其他實施例的帘子設備 的末端立面圖。 第7圖是應用於本發明的分隔系統的外觀圖。 第8圖是第7圖中的分隔系統安裝於一軌條上的外觀 圖。 第9圖是根據本發明第三觀點的實施例的示意圖。 Φ 第10圖是根據該第三觀點的窗簾結合器之零件的分 解圖。 第11圖是第10圖中的結合器的末端立面圖。 第12圖是根據本發明第三觀點的另一實施例的示意 圖。 第13圖是根據該第三觀點的窗簾結合器之零件的分 解圖。 第14圖是第13圖中的結合器的末端立面圖。 第15圖是根據本發明第三觀點的再一實施例的示意 -13- (11) (11)200808235 圖。 第16圖是根據該第三觀點的窗簾結合器之零件的分 解圖。 第17圖是第16圖中的結合器的末端立面圖。 第18圖是根據本發明第三觀點的再另一實施例的示 意圖。 第1 9圖是根據該第三觀點的窗簾結合器之零件的分 解圖。 第20圖是第1 9圖中的結合器的末端立面圖。 第21圖至第24圖顯示出可應用於本發明內的另種滑 件的設計。 第25圖顯示出另種背側滑件的設計。 第26圖顯示出一滑件位於類似於第8圖的位置上的 情形。 第27圖顯示出一供應用於第9圖至第20圖之實施例 內的改良式滑件設計。 第28圖顯示出一供應用於本發明之打褶部分隔裝置 〇 第29圖顯示出一供應用於本發明的軌條分隔裝置。 【主要元件符號說明】 11 :桿 1 2 :軌條 13 :窗簾 -14- 200808235 槽 滑件 :孔 :孔 •繩鎖 :夾具 托架 環 橋接件 珠鍊繩 分隔元件 軌條 槽 窗簾結合元件 頭部 am 本體 支柱 連接器裝置 珠鍊鎖 分隔元件 夾具 止擋件 窗簾鉤 背側滑件 -15- (13) (13)200808235200808235 (1) Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a Drap ery Hardware, and more particularly to a rail for hanging curtains or curtains. [Prior Art] The two types of φ that are most commonly used in household situations to arrange curtains on windows are to use a plurality of sliders on a rail, each of which is coupled to the edge of the curtain or used. A rod that consistently passes through multiple holes. When the curtain is hung on the rail or pole, it is usually provided with a plurality of pleating portions. Maintaining a uniform pleat when pulling the curtains through the window can sometimes be a problem. One would need an aesthetically pleasing appearance, that is, a uniform spacing between the pleats. The solution proposed for the uneven pleating portion includes sewing a film across the back side of the curtain in a pleated state, or extending the φ plastic sheet from one eyelet to the other. Provides the ability to separate/restrict. Both of these solutions require additional work when making curtains, and ^ will become a permanent part of the curtain. Moreover, these solutions are not suitable for use on curtains that are currently installed in the home. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a curtain apparatus for mounting a window covering, comprising a supporting device, and a window extending therefrom - -4-200808235 (2) a curtain coupling device It is alternately coupled to the protrusions and depressions of the pleats of the curtain. This attempt to achieve a uniform pleating portion of the present invention can be implemented in a number of different ways. The first way is to provide two support members (such as a combination of rails, rails, rods, or the like in parallel), and each of them is provided with a sliding curtain coupler, and then a curtain is pleated. The protrusions and depressions are alternately connected to the coupler on each support. Φ On the other hand, in a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a curtain apparatus comprising first and second curtain support members (e.g., rails, rails or rods) for receiving a curtain joint device to The curtains are alternately coupled to the first and second pleating support members. Preferably, the first and second curtain supports are secured together in a spaced apart relationship. However, in one version, the first and second curtain supports may be separated by adjustment means for increasing or decreasing the spacing between them. Preferably, the first and second support members are two parallel curtain rails or a curtain rail and a curtain rod. k The second aspect can also be converted into a method of installing a window covering, comprising the steps of: installing a first curtain support member, and a second curtain support member parallel to the first curtain support member; And a combination of the second support members to mount a curtain to the support members. It will be apparent that this method modifies an existing curtain support by modifying a second -5 - 200808235 (3) support in a parallel manner and suspending a curtain alternately between them. A second way of achieving the aforementioned attempt to evenly plan is to provide a special coupler on a single support rail that extends in alternating directions for attachment to the pleats of the curtain. Projection and recessed portion Accordingly, in a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a curtain apparatus Φ comprising a main support member (e.g., a rail, a rail or a rod) for receiving a plurality of curtain binding devices, wherein the curtain The bonding device extends from the support in a direction alternating with adjacent curtain bonding means. The main support member may be of a conventional design, but the blind joint assembly includes an extended post projecting outwardly from its suspension axis (and in use is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main support member) The long axis) is provided with a connector device at its distal end for engagement with a window covering. Accordingly, adjacent curtain engaging means are alternately disposed to extend in mutually opposite outward (preferably perpendicular) directions relative to the Φ support. Preferably, each of the shade attachment means is slidably mounted on or in the main support member. The connector means for engaging the window covering can be a clamp, loop or other suitable mechanism. In one version, the shade attachment means can be joined by a spacer member. The dividing element can be flexible or rigid. The appearance of the window covering obtained according to the present invention is a pleated structure which is sawtoothed between the curtain bonding devices in plan view. Therefore, the curtain will have a more uniform pleating in the open position, and in the unopened position of the -6-(4) 200808235, the stacking can be more dense and tidy, allowing more to the inside of the room. Curtains installed in accordance with the present invention can also be moved more freely (i.e., more versatile than curtains having the same weight in the conventional manner, as they can effectively have two more attachment points than conventional curtain supports. These additional supports are equivalent [Embodiment] The basic principle of the present invention is the curtain support member shown most clearly in Fig. 2, that is, the rod 1 1 and the rail 12 are arranged in parallel walls (usually Located above the window in the building. A window is placed alternately between the rod 11 (through the ring 21) and the rail glide 1 5) to form a sawtooth plan view. The struts 11 and 12 allow them to simultaneously control the front side and the rear side of the curtain 13 . In the present description, the configuration of the window covering is referred to as "serrated, having "protrusions and depressions". They are interchangeable, and the desired pleating characteristics in the curtains. In Fig. 1, The connector of the curtain is a slider 15, and optional holes 15a and 15b are provided for bonding (through conventional use) to the window covering. These holes are fitted to the standard 16-19 mm rod of the rod 11. The upper hole 15a is used. In the standard white rod, the lower hole 15b is used. These can ensure that the light of the curtain folding portion enters the installation and is easy to pull. The amount of the movement is increased. A pair of side walls 13 Set 12 (through the pleating portion of the joint to the support) or to include the hook element, the thickness. 28) can be evenly connected to the first and the same at the same height as the phase 200808235 (5) Between the two supports. The slider 15 also includes a bead chain control cord lock 15c disposed at the distal end thereof. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, it can receive a bead chain 26 that provides a separation function for the pleating portion. Separating in this manner can further improve the pleating uniformity desired by the present invention. Figures 4 through 6 show an alternative embodiment of a dual rail system for hanging curtains in accordance with the present invention. In Fig. 4, the slider 15 includes a φ-clamp 15d disposed at a distal end thereof for attachment to the window covering. A rope lock 15 e protrudes from the rear side of the slider 15 , so that when a bead chain is installed (like the second and third figures), it can be neatly hidden behind the curtain. Not seen. Similar slider configurations can also be found in Figures 5 and 6. Referring particularly to Figure 6, a further improvement of this embodiment includes the ability to mount it directly to the ceiling (rather than mounting the bracket 19 to the wall W) and to provide an illumination effect. φ The thin profile of the embodiment of Fig. 6 allows the curtain to look almost "floating" when the curtains are installed, since only a thin edge can be seen from most of the positions in the room. 1 a. Figure 7 shows a "twist and lock" separation element that can be mounted to a rail 1 2 (Fig. 8) in a wall-facing manner (compared to the downward pattern in the previous figures). This partition member 30 can be inserted into the groove 14 provided in the rail 12 and then twisted to prevent it from being self-groove! 4 out of the box. The bead chain 2 6 maintains the component 30 at a uniform pitch, as shown in FIG. -8 - 200808235 (6) Figs. 9 to 11 show an embodiment of the present invention which uses only a single rail and is different from the parallel double rail described above. The rail 3 1 includes a slot 32 for receiving a curtain engaging member 33 in the usual manner. The effect of the invention lies in the combiner element 3 3 itself. As best seen in Figures 1 and 11, the combiner 33 is a head 34 having a head 34 that can be engaged and retained in the slot 32, a downwardly extending body 35, and a vertical extension. The slider design of the post 36. A connector means 3, 7 is provided at the distal end of the φ column 36, which may be a clamp or just a hole for receiving a hook or other blind connector as is known in the art. It will be appreciated that the struts 36 may not necessarily be vertically vertical, except that they can extend generally outwardly from the suspension axis. A bead lock 38 is provided at the body end of the post 36 for receiving the bead chain 26 for performing the function of separation. When mounted for use, the projection P and the recess T of the window covering 13 are alternately connected to the rail 31 by the coupler 33. This maintains the pleats of the curtain 13 in a pleated state having a uniform height (defined by the length of the struts 36) and a width (defined by the bead chain 26). ^ The rail 31 can have a conventional design or a novel structure and shape. Figures 12 through 14 show an embodiment of a rail/bonder similar to Figures 9 through 11 except that the partition is located inside the rail 3 1 (and is hidden from view) ). In this embodiment, a rigid spacer member 39 is slidable within a clamp 40 disposed above the head 34 of the junction -9-200808235 (7). A stop 41 provided at the distal end of the member 39 will catch the clamp 40 of the adjacent coupler 33 to prevent further movement. In this way, when the curtains are "opened" (closely gathering the folds), the divider elements 39 are stacked together in a staggered manner, but can be opened when the curtain 13 is pulled closed Fully extended interval state. The structure of such a divider system is known as φ in the art of vertical louvering. The advantage of the bead chain rope is that it is hidden in the rail 31, but the bead chain device can also be hidden in the rail 3 1 (by attaching the bead chain to the head 34) to achieve the same effect. Figs. 15 to 17 show another embodiment in which the rail 3 1 has a triangular sectional shape. In addition to this, the sliding movement of the combiner 3 3 in the groove 3 2 is the same as previously described. As shown in Fig. 15, a bead reel 26 spans over a spaced coupler 33 which is provided with a bead lock Φ 38 on the distal end of the post 36. This ensures that the bead chain can remain in a state of facing the rear side, and is more hidden from the line of sight than in Fig. 9. The size of the combiner 33 can be set on an existing rail or can be used with a lever. For example, the head 34 can be replaced by a loop that can be worn over the curtain rod. Figures 18 through 0 show another embodiment which is characterized by a triangular rail 31 and a sliding divider member 39, as shown in Figure 12. The other operations are the same. 21 to 24 show another form of slider 1 5 ° - -10- 200808235 (8) Generally, each (back side) slider includes a "G-shaped" bead chain lock 15d, which The bead chain 26 can be mounted from the side, unlike the through-locking aperture 15c shown in the previous embodiment (e.g., Figure 1). This provides additional variability on the installation program. The slider 15 also has a hole 15 a for receiving a curtain hook 42. Various types of rails are shown in Figs. 21 to 24, including the "C and J" type of side mounted rails in Fig. 24, and φ is also shown in detail in Fig. 26. Fig. 26 is equivalent to Fig. 8, except that it includes a back side slider 43 having a G-shaped bead chain lock 15d (function of performing the partition member 30 in Fig. 8). Referring to Fig. 25a, the slider 43 is disposed to be freely slidable on the rail 12, and the slider in Fig. 25b is disposed to be clipped to the back side of the rail 12. Figure 27 shows a slider applied to the "single rail" embodiment shown in Figures 9 through 20. It has been found that the use of a single construction of the slider (for example as shown in Fig. 10) is very unsuitable, since it can be seen from the front side of the curtain 13 regardless of the side mounted on the pleating portion. Go to the connector device 37. To overcome this problem, Figure 27 shows a goose-necked slipper that extends in a (bendback) curve to a position that will be placed behind the curtain during installation. Thus, the connector device 37 and the curtain hooks (42) are all joined to a single side of the window covering. The joint side is not visible from the room in which the curtain is installed. In use, alternating sliders (such as those shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively) can improve the appearance of the curtains after installation. -11 - 200808235 (9) It is also possible to use the slippery A piece that is interleaved with the special slider of the present invention (Fig. 10 or Fig. 27) to achieve the pleating effect of the present invention. In this way, only every second slider will extend laterally from the support device (rail 31). However, this season configuration creates unbalanced stresses on the bonding device. Figure 28 shows a schematic view of a pleated portion 44. This is a scissor-type retractable structure that controls the pleats of the curtain to the same size when the pleats are pulled apart. Preferably, the scissor-type mechanism is coupled to a slide member 3 3 which is coupled to the window covering 13. Fig. 29 shows an example of a configuration for adjusting the distance between the support rails 1, 1 and 12. It requires a bridge 25 that is pivotally attached to each end. This configuration is most useful when the rails are of the same type (different from the rods and rails shown in Figure 2), but any combination is possible. All of these components are made from existing materials and processes. Rails and rods are generally metal structures (or rods are wooden). For economic reasons, the sliding member is an injection molding of a plastic material. The present invention provides a beautiful solution to the messy and uneven pleating of the curtains mounted on rails, rails, rods or any similar. It should be noted that the present invention has an important and unforeseen advantage in that the folds can be pulled more easily when they have twice the suspension joints of the conventional design. In this way, the disadvantages of bulky textile curtains can be eliminated ("bulky" means resistance to pulling). Those skilled in the art will be readily able to obtain a method of installing and modifying the curtains to obtain the effects of the present invention by reference to the foregoing description. -12-200808235 (10). Existing curtains may require additional attachment points for the slider (combiner), but other than that, it should be relatively easy to modify.
