  • the present invention relates to a drape, curtain, or the like, particularly with a carrying strap, with a foldforming-cord extending floatingly in the upper drape edge range.
  • the fold-forming cord extends displaceably over the entire fold-forming cord in uniform floatings or in periodically repeating floating sections, which corresponding with the number of the folds to be formed in a fold group have floating part pieces separated from each other by short binding places.
  • the fold-forming-cord extends between the floatings or floating sections a longer or shorter piece along the carrying strap, corresponding with the foldthrow to be found. This displaceability is produced such, that the fold-forming-cord is either inserted in longitudinal channels of the carrying strap or alternately changes from one side of the carrying strap to the other side through openings.
  • the fold-forming-cord is pulled at the end of the drape and the carrying strap is pushed together with the drape.
  • the pushing together of the drape is made difficult by high friction forces.
  • a great length of the fold-forming-cord brought about by the pushing together can be recognized, which must be secured in form of a ball visibly at the upper edge of the drape, since upon washing or cleaning of the drape a pulling apart of the folds and thus the original length of the fold-forming-cord is required.
  • a first apparent criterion of the present invention resides in the fact, that the fold-forming-cord is not displaceable throughout over the entire width of the drape, rather has fixed binding points on the drape corresponding with the length of the fold group, frizzinggroup-or-fold.
  • Each floating section which determines a period in the fold throw of the drape, is thus secured at its ends immovably on the drape or its carrying strap, prior to forming the next corresponding floating section.
  • at least one passage opening is coordinated to each floating section, on which opening this section is pulled together in loop-form, if in this part-piece of the drape the formation of a fold group or frizzing group is to be obtained.
  • the surplus-length of the fold-forming-cord resulting from fold formation in this section of the drape will be recognized merely in a short loop, which can store at least double of the length of the foldforming-cord, as is gained by the pulling together during the fold formation, due to the loop-shape in the simplest case.
  • the length of the loop one can determine, whether wide open or narrow pulled-together forms are obtained in this section. Since only short sections of the drape, corresponding with the length of the floating sections, are frizzed, no resistances are experienced during the fold formation.
  • One can arrange even intentionally with a strong friction the fold forming cord in this short floating section, in order to retain the loop form after the pulling together process by friction in the passage openings.
  • the loop form can be obtained also by securing of their short ends on the drape, for which purpose the loop can be suspended by suspension members disposed above the drape.
  • loops of the fold-forming-cord it is particularly advantageous to subject the loops of the fold-forming-cord to a further useful function, namely to use the latter for a suspension of the drape itself. While in one case it is possible to connect the loops directly with a carrying rail for the drape, to use the loops as hang-up eyes for the reception of drapehangers, which serve directly for the suspension and slidable guide of the drape along the carrying rail. Finally, it would also be possible to use the loops for the non-displaceable arrangement of the drape by means of securing elements.
  • the flow throw can be varied individually without difficulties, without requirement, that the folds of the remaining floating sections must be varied or displaced.
  • passage openings on the drape of the invention or on its carrying strap, where the foldforming-cord can be pulled together can be formed in different manners, each of which has inherent its particular advantages.
  • two passage openings are provided in form of short binding places on the carrying strap or on the drape, between which extends a short floating section of the fold-formingcord, which is pulled to a loop for the purpose of fold formation, by example by hanging of a drape hanger.
  • the two passage openings are disposed here in alignment with the floating arrangement of the fold-forming cord.
  • the loop of the fold-formingcord is created between two passage openings separated from each other by a short floating part piece
  • This channel-like passage-opening is oriented with its entrances and exits suitably in suspension direction of the drape.
  • the channel-like passage opening can have an appreciable height, which assumes an essential part of the width of the carrying strap, in case a carrying strap is used.
  • the foldforming-cord is arranged in such design at a distance from the upper edge of the drape, while the exits of the passage openings terminate essentially in the upper range of the drape and its carrying strap, respectively.
  • a freely extending auxiliary twine is provided in the upper marginal range of the drape, which twine in turn is passed through in loop form through the passage openings, yet in relation to the later loop arrangement of the foldforming-cord in opposite direction.
  • the auxiliary twine winds around thereby with its loop the fold-formingcord.
  • the auxiliary twine can be pulled out after formation of the loops of the fold-forming-cord.
  • the auxilary twine assumes also further important functions in the drape. Since the auxiliary twine serves the formation of the loops of the fold-forming-cord, it passes through the loops, after suspension of the drape by means of the loops, is also retained at the loops without danger of loss, yet disposed displaceably relative to the loops.
  • This auxiliary twine is used, according to the present invention, as a pulling cord for the movement of the drape along a carrying rail.
  • the auxiliary twine of the present invention has the advantage, not to sag unpleasantly like a suspension girder along the suspended drape; rather the auxiliary twine is supported, as mentioned, by the loops of the fold-forming-cord in its entire length.
  • the auxiliary twine will ordinarily wind around merely on one side the fold-forming-cord relative to its end points and binding places, respectively, in its floating arrangement, which causes, that upon pulling of the auxiliary twine, a loop of the fold-forming-cord at this point. It is advantageous, however, to permit that the auxiliary twine winds about the fold-formingcord on both sides of its floating arrangement to one of its fixed end points or to the binding positions, respectively, permitting a displacement, because in this case a double loop is created. During threading through a channel, two loops are created simultaneously with the auxiliary twine, which can store a large surplus length on the fold-forming-cord.
  • the floating section consists of a single floating part piece of the fold-forming-cord, which is bound immovably at its both end points on the drape or its carrying strap.
  • the two rigidly bound end points can be disposed thereby quite close to each other. If now a passage opening for loop-like threading through of the fold-forming-cord is coordinated to each individual end point, one obtains thereby a universal formation of the drape on its carrying strap, respectively, which permits many variations in the fold throw. By collecting several loops during the suspension of the drape, one obtains tightly close fold groups, at places, at which no folding is desired, the loop and its passage opening remains unused.
  • the possiblity exists to divide the floating section of the fold-forming-cord into a plurality of part pieces corresponding with the number of the individual folds of the fold group or the frizzing group, which are displaceably connected with each other by binding places on the drape or its carrying strap. Upon pulling together the floating section in loop form the entire foldgroup is created. With this formation, which permits also still deviations, especially the final fold laying of the drape is predetermined.
  • fold-free sections between the individual floating sections of the fold forming strap, which lead to the fold formation of the drape, which fold-free sections take care of the stretched arrangement of the drape.
  • the fold forming cord in accordance with the present invention, can now be used usefully for the purpose, to be bound in these fold free sections, in order to stiffen additionally these sections, without requiring particular measures therefor. Beyond that, the fold forming cord can exercise further useful functions in the non-floating part pieces. If the formation, is chosen namely such, that the passage opening is aligned with one of the end points in the floating run of the fold forming cord, the latter can be used for production at the end points of its floating run the passage openings extending as a channel in the suspension direction of the drape.
  • the fold forming cord can be introduced namely at the end of its floating for the creation of the fixed end joints as a weft onto the carrying strap or the drape, respectively.
  • the fold forming cord can thereby during its binding produce by example the rear carrying strap textill wall of a passage opening designed as a pocket. If a monofil material is used for the fold forming cord, which has been pointed out before, in this case one obtains even desired stiffening characteristics of this one wall of the pocket.
  • the same valued stiffening characteristics of the fold forming cord are exploited, if the above mentioned rigid binding sections are produced between two floating sections by working of the monofil wire of synthetic material of the fold forming cord.
  • a passage opening can be coordinated advantageously to a plurality of end points or binding places, respectively, of a floating section of the fold forming cord, so that the foldor frizzinggroup is suspended on a loop or double-loop, respectively, which is layed through the passage opening.
  • the loops of this group are received by a drape hanger, if the same is used for securing of the drape.
  • suspension means can be provided on the drape or its carrying strap, respectively, in order to be applied directly or by means of drape hangers on carrying rails or the like.
  • Means for this purpose as slots, pockets or loops are known.
  • auxiliary twines to one fold forming cord, which auxiliary twines are layed, by example, in different manner through the passage openings and cause thereby different fold formation of one and the same fold forming cord.
  • additional auxiliary twines as by example, the securing of the fold tops for the formation of the so-called flat-folds of the drape.
  • the present invention makes possible an unexhaustible large number of variations of the fold laying, without the use of expensive means or that the used means are complicated and difficult to handle. Multiple changes and combinations are possible under the given solution means.
  • the length of the floating section can be differently chosen.
  • the individual length of the floating part pieces as well as the number of these individual part pieces can be chosen differently and at random.
  • a further variation offers the auxiliary twine.
  • the appearance of the fold throw depends at first upon the winding order of the auxiliary twine on the fold forming cord.
  • the number of the windings of the auxiliary twine within the range of the end joints and of the binding places is of importance, to which attention has been called already.
