Definitions

  • Curtains, shades and the like conventionally include a woven or knitted braid or header serving for suspending such articles on the usual curtain rods, this braid being applied after the manufacture of the curtain or shade by stitching along the upper edge of the latter.
  • Such braids include furthermore, generally tubular elements for the introduction of the hooks which serve for suspending the curtain to a curtain rod and similarly there are often provided one or more curtain cords which serve for pleating or gathering the curtain.
  • My invention has for its object to cut out such manual operation of assembling the braid or header which is to serve for suspending the curtain.
  • the braid is woven in the direction of the warp together with the main portion or body of the curtain, in other words, together with the fabric proper, and, to this end, the loom making the fabric body is designed so as to produce simultaneously the braid which has a structure different from that of the fabric body and may optionally include tubular elements which are formed in the weaving operation together with the braid and consequently with the main fabric portion, the braid being also optionally provided with one or more curtain cords also incorporated therein during the weaving thereof.
  • the fabric which is to form such a curtain or shade comprises therefore, according to my invention, when it passes out of the loom, three distinctive parts, to wit:
  • This braid may be located in any area selected throughout the width of the fabric. Thus it may be positioned along a selvedge or near the latter or else within the main section of the fabric in a position depending on the final arrangement desired.
  • the suspend-ing braid may be located in the immediate proximity of one of the selvedges, whereas for a curtain to be suspended by means of hooks a space of to 20 cm. may separate the braid from the corresponding selvedge so that a strip of fabric having the pattern of the principal portion extends between said selvedge and the braid.
  • the braid itself is constituted substantially by a woven strip, tubular elements and one or more curtain cords,
  • Header strip-This part may be woven with conventional patterns such as taffeta, gros de Tours, twill, satin and the like.
  • the breadth and the count of threads forming this strip vary according to whether the fabric appears with a greater or less width on a loom of small or large height.
  • Hook-engaged tubular elements.-Th.ese elements are formed by transversely aligned floating sections of warp threads which allow inserting the hooks between these warp threads and the woven strip constituting the braid.
  • the fabric which is to form the curtain or shade material is thus sold to the customer with a breadth corresponding to the height of the curtain or to a multiple of said! height from which the actual curtain may then be ma e.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a curtain whose header is located at a short distance from the upper selvedge and includes floating warp threads and also two curtain cords;
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a curtain whose header coincides with the selvedge and includes only one curtain cord serving simultaneously for the pleating of the curtain and for its suspension;
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a curtain combining the features of the curtains according to FIGS. 1 and 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a detail view of part of the header of FIG. 1, drawn to a larger scale.
  • the direction of the warp threads of the fabric is indicated by the arrow x, this direction x defining thus the width of the curtain.
  • the direction of the weft, i.e. the breadth of the fabric on the loop, is given by the arrow y which corresponds to the height of the curtain.
  • numeral 1 designates the weave pattern of the main portion of the fabric, i.e. the body of the curtain proper, while numeral 2 designates the braid or header interwoven with the body 1.
  • the braid 2 is located at a short distance from the adjacent selvedge 3 of the fabric in a zone 1' having the same pattern as body 1.
  • the selvedge 3 is located along the upper edge of the curtain while the opposite selvedge 3w lies along the lower edge of said curtain.
  • the braid includes tubular elements 4 produced by means of an array of juxtaposed warp threads having 1ongitudinally spaced sections left floating in the weaving process, as best seen in FIG. 4 which also shows the warp and weft threads 7, 8 interwoven in a conventional gauze weave except in the area 4 defined by floating sections of adjoining warp threads; the same is the case for the curtain cords 5 incorporated also with the warp threads during weaving.
  • the tubular elements 4 serve for engagement by conventional suspension hooks while the cords 5 serve for pleating the curtain.
  • the braid 2 is located along the upper edge of the fabric and forms simultaneously its selvedge.
  • This braid includes merely a single curtain cord 5 having floating sections 5a extending in the direction of the warp.
  • the curtain cord plays in this case a double part, to wit: it ensures on the one hand the pleating of the curtain and on the other hand it serves for the suspension of the curtain through its floating sections 5a.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a curtain including:
  • a braid 2 provided with tubular element 4 and with curtain cords 5, on the other hand, within a narrow zone 1 along its selvedge, a relatively heavy cord 6 having floating sections 6a aligned with those constituting the element 4.
  • the curtain may thus be suspended, according to the type of curtain rod used, either through its sheath-forming elements 4 or through the floating warp threads 6a of its cord 6.
  • a fabric for making curtains and the like comprising a weave of warp threads and weft threads, said weave being subdivided in the direction of its weft threads into a main portion with a given pattern and a header juxtaposed with said main portion, said header extending in a direction parallel to said warp threads and incorporating an array of said warp threads adjoining one another with longitudinally spaced floating sections transversely aligned to form tubular elements engageable by suspension hooks.
