Description
- The present disclosure claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 63/050,316 filed on Jul. 10, 2020, incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to privacy, cubicle, and shower curtains, and in particular, to a quick-change curtain with a zipper interface between two curtain panels.
- Privacy or cubicle curtains are often used in a hospital setting to create private patient holding, treatment, and convalescent areas. These curtains are typically hung, using curtain carriers or hooks, from a metal track system installed on or near the ceiling. To replace these curtains a ladder is often required in order to reach the top of the curtain to disengage the curtain carriers or hooks. Because a typical hospital area cubicle requires a significant number of carriers or hooks to hang the curtains, the process to remove and replace the curtain is tedious and time-consuming.

FIG. 1 is an illustration of a first embodiment of a privacy curtain with a zipper interface according to the teachings of the present disclosure; -
FIG. 2 is a close-up illustration of a zipper interface of a first embodiment of a privacy curtain according to the teachings of the present disclosure; -
FIG. 3 is another illustration of a zipper interface of a first embodiment of a privacy curtain according to the teachings of the present disclosure; and -
FIG. 4 is an illustration of another embodiment of a privacy curtain with two zipper interfaces according to the teachings of the present disclosure. -
FIG. 1 shows aprivacy curtain 100 typically used in healthcare institutions to create private spaces to accommodate patient holding, treatment, and examination areas, etc. Thecurtain 100 includes anupper curtain panel 102 of the length, L1, and alower curtain panel 104 of the length L2. Generally, thecurtain 100 is hung from a metal track andcarrier system 108 attached to the ceiling so that thelower curtain panel 104 extends about 10 inches above floor level to a height of approximately 74 inches above the floor, which is where azipper interface 106 between the two panels is located. The length of theupper curtain panel 102, L1, may span a range of size offerings to accommodate a wide range of requirements, such as from about six inches to 42 inches. - The upper and
lower curtain panels zipper interface 106, where a first tape 202 (FIG. 2 ) incorporating a sequence ofzipper teeth 204 is attached or sewn to theupper curtain panel 102, and asecond tape 206 incorporating a second sequence ofteeth 208 is attached or sewn to thelower curtain panel 104. Preferably, thepull tab 210 of thezipper 106 is on the right side of the upper and lower fabric panels. Thezipper interface 106 enables a user to quickly remove thelower curtain panel 104 from theupper curtain panel 102 and install a replacement lower panel easily and in a short time. The ability to replace thelower curtain panel 104 that may become soiled without having to disconnect the entire curtain from the track andcarrier system 108 enables the completion of the task without the need to climb atop a ladder. Therefore, the zipper interface enables the lower curtain panel to be cleaned and replacement with ease, speed, and safety. The lower curtain panel can also be fabricated from a non-woven material for disposable applications. Thecurtain 100 further includes abaton attachment 212 that is secured to either the upper or lower curtain panel. Thebaton 212 functions as a curtain pull that facilitates the user to arrange the curtain along thetrack 108 so that the curtain can be positioned around a patient bed, a cubicle, or an office space. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thebaton 212 may be sewn or otherwise attached to the curtain panel using aconnection loop 310, D-ring 312, andconnection ring 314. Thebaton 212 may be attached to one or both ends of the upper curtain panel. Thebaton 212 is preferably fabricated from a short length of a stiff material that a user may grasp to manipulate and move the privacy curtain along thetrack 108. Thebaton 212 may be fabricated from any suitable material such as a metal (e.g., stainless steel or aluminum), graphite, plastic, lucite, acrylic, etc. In the embodiment show inFIG. 3 , thebaton 212 has a small opening through which a connectingring 314 attached to aclip 316 is inserted, and theclip 316 is in turn attached to a D-ring 312 that is fastened to afabric connection loop 310. Theconnection loop 310 is sewn to be adhered to afabric tape 318 that frames the mesh fabric in theupper curtain panel 102. For the disposable lower curtain panel embodiment, thebaton 212 is attached to theupper panel 102, for other embodiments, the baton may be attached to the upper or lower panel. - The upper and
lower curtain panels upper curtain panel 102 may use a mesh fabric that allows light to pass through and permit air circulation. Alternatively, theupper curtain panel 102 may be impermeable to fluids but is transparent to prevent air circulation but still allow light to pass. Thelower curtain panel 104 may incorporate materials that are designed to serve a particular function. For example, thelower curtain panel 104 may be constructed of more than one layer of fabric that provide sound-dampening properties. In one embodiment, thelower curtain panel 104 may include an acoustical fabric liner sewn or attached to an outer decorative panel. Alternatively, an acoustical fabric that is sandwiched between two layers of outer shell fabric or “interlined.” As another example, the lower curtain panel may be constructed of a non-woven polypropylene fabric with fire retardant and/or anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, which may be used as a cost-effective disposable curtain panel that can be used in applications where soiling or contamination can occur easily or to prevent spread of contagious diseases. The L1 and L2 dimensions of the upper and lower curtain panels may be adjusted to enhance the functionality of the curtain. For example, the L1 dimension of the meshupper panel 102 may be decreased and the L2 dimension of a sound-dampeninglower panel 104 may be increased to further enhance the acoustic properties of the privacy curtain. - In an alternate embodiment, the upper curtain panel may also be constructed of a material that is transparent or opaque to allow light penetration but functions to limit movement of potentially airborne contaminants. It should be noted that the upper and lower curtain panels may be constructed of any suitable material to achieve a variety of goals, including air flow, light-transmissive, permeable, impermeable, anti-microbial, sound-dampening, and aesthetics properties.
- In another alternate embodiment shown in
FIG. 4 , theupper curtain panel 102 may incorporate twozipper interfaces zipper interface 106 is used to attach a disposablelower curtain panel 104 that faces inward toward the cubicle, and thesecond zipper interface 106′ is used to attach a sound-dampening lower panel that faces outward 104′. In this embodiment, the disposable lower curtain panel functions as a disposable liner that can be quickly removed and replaced. When the inner disposablelower panel 104 is soiled or needs replacement, it can be quickly unzipped and removed and a fresh replacement installed quickly. In this way, a disposable lowerinner curtain panel 104 may be combined with an outerlower panel 104′ to satisfy various user requirements to satisfy disposability, permeable, impermeable, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, fire-retardant, sound-dampening, decorative, and other factors. It should be noted that although the upper and lower curtain panels are shown in the figures to be rectangular in shape, they may embody other shapes. Further, the curtain may include two or more vertically-oriented panels that are joined by vertically-arranged zippers. - The track and
carrier system 108 is preferably fabricated from anodized aluminum or baked enamel that incorporates self-lubricating medical grade nylon wheels or carriers with a stainless-steel wheel axle. The tracks are fabricated in segments that can be connected and assembled to be tailor-made for any length that can be used to corral a space of any size. - The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth below with particularity in the appended claims. However, modifications, variations, and changes to the exemplary embodiments described above will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the quick-change privacy curtain with a zipper interface described herein thus encompasses such modifications, variations, and changes and are not limited to the specific embodiments described herein.
