Abstract

Slider (6, 10) for use in a curtain rail (1), which comprises a substantially U-shaped profile, of which the legs (3) in the position of use extending downward and are provided with mutually facing lips (4) at their lower edges, and on which the head part (5) of a slider (6, 10) can rest. From the head part (5) protrudes a suspension member (7) downwards to below the curtain rail (1). To the head part (5) a resilient wing (8) is attached which may have for example the shape of a U-shaped bracket (11) of which the one leg (12) is fixedly connected to the head part (5) of the slider. The bracket (11) has an abutment member (13) which over a distance of at least several millimetres rests resiliently and presses against the inner surface (9) of a leg (3) of a curtain rail.

Description

Improved slider for curtain rails

The present invention relates to a slider for a curtain rail comprising a substantially U-shaped profile, the foot of the U-shaped profile extending downwardly in the use position and having opposite lips at its lower edge The head of the slider can be supported by the lip, whereby a protruding member projects downwardly from the head below the rail rail.

A disadvantage of the known sliders is that the sliders resonate in the rails when opening or closing a sliding curtain suspended from the slider. This can also occur, for example, when the curtain is in a closed position and the wind is free to play with the curtain.

The sound is generated as the head of the slider swings back and forth within the curtain rail, which is undesirable for most of the time.

It is an object of the present invention to address this disadvantage and to provide a deflectable wing member to the head of the slider that is attached to the head and that is The position of use of the slider abuts against the inner surface of a leg of the curtain rail, the pivoting movement of the slider within the curtain rail can thereby be prevented.

In particular, the wing member will be in the form of a U-shaped bracket, the end of one leg of the bracket being thereby fixedly coupled to the head of the slider and having abutment A piece that elastically rests against the inner surface of the foot portion of the curtain rail over a distance of at least a few millimeters.

In this way, it can be ensured that the oscillation of the head of the slider within the rail can be effectively prevented.

It should be noted that despite the presence of the wing member, it is still possible to mount the slider from the underside of the curtain rail into the curtain rail. Therefore, it is not necessary to slide the slider from the end of the curtain rail into the curtain rail.

The invention is further elucidated on the basis of an embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a perspective side view of a portion of a curtain rail in which a slider is disposed; Figure 2 shows Figure 1 A perspective end view of the curtain rail including the slider is shown; and Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the slider in accordance with the present invention.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the curtain rail 1 comprises a U shape The profile 2, the leg 3 is located in the position of use of the curtain rail 1 and extends downwardly, and is provided with lips 4 opposite each other at the lower edge.

The lip 4 is arranged to support the head 5 of a slider 6. The head 5 is for rotatably supporting a projection 7 to which a curtain hook (not shown) can be attached.

The head 5 of the support is provided according to the invention with an elastic wing member 8 which is placed against the inner surface 9 of a foot 3 of the curtain rail 1.

Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the slider 10, wherein members corresponding to the slider 6 shown in Fig. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals.

In the slider 10, the wing member 8 of Fig. 2 is formed by a U-shaped bracket 11 whose one leg 12 is fixedly coupled to the head portion 5. The bracket 11 has an abutment member 13 which extends a distance as shown in FIG. 2 and elastically rests against the inner surface 9 of a leg portion 3 of the curtain rail 1 and is pressed against the inner surface. The swing of the head 5 of the slider 10 can be prevented.

It will be apparent that only some possible embodiments of the slider according to the invention are shown in the drawings and described above and there may be many modifications that do not fall outside the concept of the invention.
