Definitions

  • This invention provides a holding device for runners of hangings such as curtains onto which device the runners may be assembled and from which they can then be transferred onto the guide rail of the hangings.
  • the holding device comprises a member of curved shape in the form of a longitudinally slotted tube having oppositely extending flanges and one end of the holding device being adapted to be so positioned in relation to a guide rail as to permit transfer of runners from the holding device to the guide rail.
  • the invention relates to a holding device for runners of hangings such as curtains onto which device the runners may be assembled and from which they can then be transferred onto the guide rail of the hangings.
  • a holding device comprises a member of U-shape, lyre-shape or similar curved shape in the form of a longitudinally slotted tube or in the form of a profiled element having oppositely extending flanges and one end of the holding device being adapted to be so positioned in relation to a guide rail as to permit transfer of runners from the holding device to the guide rail.
  • the said end is extended to provide means for engaging an end portion of the guide rail.
  • the end is formed with tongue-shaped stops for positioning the holding device on the guide rail and facilitating transference of the runners onto the guide rail.
  • a holding device comprising a member of curved shape in accordance with the invention enables a large number of runners to be accommodated in a small space and therefore a comparatively large width of hanging to be dealt with.
  • Guide rails for curtains are commonly fitted in recesses or are difiicult of access for some other reason and advantageously the said member is formed of elastic or flexible material so that the member possesses a degree of flexibility favouring presentation of the said end to an end of a guide rail disposed in a recess.
  • the runners may be threaded round a corner.
  • holding means such as hooks, loops or lugs may be provided for holding the device in relation to the guide rail during transfer of the runners from the device to the guide rail.
  • holding lugs can be inserted at the places where plugs are normally put in order to stop runners from slipping off the guide rail during normal service.
  • suitable locking means are provided for inhibiting accidental movement of runners from the device.
  • Hangings of modern artificial fibre curtaining material are usually hung when damp and the holding device must be sufliciently strong to sustain the heavy weight.
  • the part of the member remote from the ends may be extensible, for example, through being highly elastic, so that the device can be enlarged or reduced according to the number of runners to be accommodated.
  • a part of the member remote from its ends may be a separate piece replaceable by a piece of different length.
  • a large number of runners serving as hangers for a curtain already attached to them may be threaded quickly and easily onto a single device by an operator when working seated in comfort at a table, after which the runners carrying the curtain may be rapidly transferred from the device to the curtain guide rail by a short and simple movement.
  • the device greatly reduces danger of accidents not only to housewives but also to decorators who have frequently to climb high ladders in order to fit hangings.
  • Compara-tively wide curtains can be easily accommodated in the small space occupied by a holding device and even large hangings of several metres in width can be fitted one behind another in comfort, since, for example, if a single holding device is incapable of accommodating, say, 400 runners, two or more holding devices adjacent one another can be used. Then when the runners have been pushed or pulled onto the guide rail from the first of the holding devices, the latter can be removed and the next holding device brought into operation to transfer the runners stored in that device from the device to the guide rail.
  • a holding device enables hangings to be hung which are fitted with runners having rollers of the largest to the smallest diameter or are fitted with runners at small distances apart. It is also possible without hindrance toinsert or withdraw in relation to the holding device adjacent runners of different types or having rollers of different cross-sections.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a holding device in the form of a longitudinally slotted lyre-shaped tube
  • FIGURE 2 shows an end portion of a device according to FIGURE 1, attached to the guide rail of a Cologne board;
  • FIGURE 3 shows another form of holding device comprising a profiled element of artificial material.
  • the holding device consists of a lyreshaped tube 1, preferably of elastic artificial material, having a longitudinal slot 2 in its outer edge.
  • the curtain runners having guide rollers 3, which are already hooked onto the curtain, are pushed through the left-hand opening 4 of the tube and the hooked parts of the runners slide freely along the slot 2 to the lowermost position.
  • the device can be adapted to accommodate a greater or lesser number of rollers.
  • the end 5 of the right-hand limb 1' is bevelled, in order to facilitate its proper abutment and alignment with the guide rail 6 (see FIGURE 2).
  • a lug 7 provided at this end is notched at 8.
  • the lug 7 is pushed into and is held in an opening of the guide rail 6, provided for the normal introductionof the guide rollers, the side of the opening engaging the notched part of the lug.
  • Such holding means greatly facilitates the process of inserting the rollers 3 of the runners into the rail 6, as the weight of the runners and the curtain is largely taken by the guide rail itself. After removal of the holding device, the opening of the guide rail is closed by a rotating plug.
  • the holding device of FIGURE 3 comprises a profiled element of artificial material 9 having flanges 11 and 12 extending oppositely from a central web 10.
  • the flanges 11 and 12 afford surfaces on which the rollers 3 of the runners respectively roll.
  • the rollers 3 of the runners roll towards the lowermost point and pile up in the holding device.
  • the flanges 11 and 12 which project at one end of the profiled element in a tongue-like manner beyond the web 10, are pushed onto the flanges of the guide rail until the end of the web meets the end of the web of the guide rail. Then the runners with their attached curtain are pushed onto the guide rail so that the runner rollers rest on the upper surface of the flanges of the guide rail.
  • ties 13 and 14 are provided.
  • a holding device for runners of hangings such as curtains on which the runners may be assembled and from which they are transferable to guide rails of hangings comprising a member of curved shape in the form of a longitudinally slotted tube having oppositely extending flanges and one end of the holding device being adapted to be so positioned in relation to a guide rail to permit transfer of runners from the holding device to the guide rail.
  • a holding device as claimed in claim 1 wherein a part of the member remote from its ends is a separate piece replaceable by a piece of different length.
