Because of the fairly severe cantilever stresses on the running means of the overhead over drape supporting slides in a combination drapery supporting bar or track structure, some problem has been encountered heretofore in the matter of sturdiness and stability, and the present invention is directed to the efficient, practical solving of the problems thus encountered.
Accordingly, it is an important object of the present invention to provide a new and improved over drape supporting means for combination drapery assemblies.
Another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved overhead drapery supporting track and slide structure.
A further object of the invention is to provide new and improved supporting means for a drapery slide of the overhead type.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing although variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts embodied in the disclosure, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary isometric view of a drapery mounting embodying features of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary end sectional, elevational view of the mounting shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary top plan view of a drapery assembly embodying features of the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of one of the overhead, over drape supporting slides taken substantially along the line IVIV of FIG. 2.
According to the present invention, new and improved members which may be variously identified as carriers, glides, sliders, or slides 5 are supported by new and improved drapery rod or bar or track means 7 to carry an over drape 8 through the medium of hooks 9 in front an under drape 10 which is supported through the medium of hooks 11 by suitable slides 12 which are also supported by the track means 7. The construction and relationship are such that the under drape 10, which is customarily disposed outwardly relative to the enclosure or room and nearest a window, has its heading, which may be buckram reenforced and pleated if desired, extending upwardly in concealing relation to the track means 7. The over drape 8 is located inwardly in front of and in concealing relation to the under drape. While both of the drapes 8 and 10 may be adapted to be drawn closed and open at will, the under drape may, if preferred, be of the non-drawable type while the over drape 8 may be of the drawable type.
Mounting and support of the slides 5 by the track means 7 is such that when the over drape 8 is opened, removed, or absent the heading of the under drape 10 remains in concealing relation to the track means. When the slides 5 are operatively present, they are supported in a manner to be free from any intereference with the under drape heading. Further, the slides 5 support the over drape 8 in a manner enabling easy drawing of the over drape into open or closed position, in-
eluding attendant folding and unfolding thereof between the slides and relative to the under drape 10.
In a desirable, improved construction, each of the over drape slides 5 includes an elongated cantilever supporting arm 13 of a suitable length to extend in overhead relation forwardly, i.e. inwardly, from the track means 7 in spaced relation above the upper edge of the under drape heading and to a sufficient extent forwardly therefrom to support the over'drape 8 in the preferred forwardly spaced relation from the under drape 10. By preference the arm has at its forward end an integral depending hanger flange 14 provided with a hook aperture 15 receptive of the hooked head portion of the drapery hook 9. On its rear end portion, the arm 13 has a slider structure comprising a depending integral flange 17 provided with tracking means engageable in running stabilized relation with the track means 7. Desirably the arm 13 and the flanges 14 as well as the slider structure flange 17 are constructed from a suitable gage sheet metal as a stamping, with a longitudinally extending median reenforcing rib 18 extending throughout the length of the arm 13 and into the flange 14 with a reenforcing gusset 19 across the bend between the arm and flange, and also extending I throughout the length of the flange 17 with a reenforcing gusset 20 of substantial depth across the bend between the arm and the flange 17.
For tracking engagement with the track structure 7, the slider flange 17 is provided with means for supporting slide means comprising a plurality of slide members 21 which are desirably in the form of small wheel disks made from suitable material such as nylon. One of the disks 21 is carried operatively on a spacer 22 secured to or comprising part of a return bent integral flange 23 on the lower end of the flange 17 (FIGS. 2 and 4) and into which the reenforcing rib 18 extends with a reenforcing gusset 24 across the bend between the flanges 17 and 23. In the illustrated example, two additional of the slider wheels 21 are provided respectively on the upper sides of trolley arms 25 which project in respectively opposite directions normal to the axis of the arm 13 in a common horizontal plane spaced below the arm 13 and integrally connected with the flange 17 through respective angular connecting portions 27 one of which is shorter'than the other by slightly more than the widths of the arms 25' to provide an offset relation of the arms for interdigitation of the arms as indicated in dash outline in FIG. 4 to enable close and evenside-by side touching proximity of the connection portions of contiguous ones of the slides 5 when drawing the supported drape open. Desirably, though not necessarily, the slide members 21 are rotatably mounted as by means of suitable pintles 28.
Thoroughly stable support of the slides 5 on the track means 7 is effected through the balanced relationship of the slide members 21 wherein the upper and lower of the members are substantially spaced apart and the lower of the members 21 is located in the median vertical plane of the slide assembly 5 and the upper of the members 21 are located in balanced, substantially equidistant relation substantially extending to opposite sides of such plane. Thereby an especially sturdy, efficient running relationship is effected with the track means 7 provided in a preferred unitary hollow rearwardly opening track bar form 29 adapted to be constructed as an aluminum extrusion. Within the bar 29 are provided complementary tracks for the members 21, including an upwardly opening longitudinally extending track groove 30 for the lower of the members 21 and respective parallel downwardly opening longitudinal track grooves 31 complementary to the upper of the members 21. Relative location of the track grooves 30 and 31 is such that the members 21 ride therein freely, with the vertical front and rear side walls defining the grooves providing rail surfaces for the perimeters of the antifriction members 21 and the roots of the grooves, especially the root of the groove 30, providing upwardly facing rail surface confronting the faces of the members 21. Through this arrangement, free and easy travel of the slider structures of the slides is enabled along the track bar 29 and cantilever forces upwardly or downwardly on the slide arm 13 as well as lateral canting forces are readily and easily resisted without binding or undo frictional resistances and operation is smooth and quiet.
In addition to the over drape slide rails provided by the bar 29, it also provides a hollow longitudinally extending rearwardly opening generally C-shaped cross section track 32 for the under drape slides 12, as shown (FIG. 2).
If preferred, of course, the under drape may be supported for manual drawing. However, draw cords 33 therefor may be provided to run through the longitudinal passage provided within the track 32. Similarly, although the over drape 8 may be supported for manual drawing or manipulation, draw cords 34 may be provided therefor, as shown. Operation of the draw cords may be provided for and effected in the usual or any preferred manner to draw the respective drapes between open and closed conditions.
By having the sides of the over drape slide arms 13 tapered from widest at their rear ends to narrower at their front ends, a desirable relationship is attained when the over drape 8 is drawn open, in that, as shown in FIG. 3, the folds of the drape are accommodated between the several arms 13 without pinching or lateral or canting deflection of the arms when the slides 5 are in contiguity and especially while the terminal slide to which the draw cords are attached applies lateral drape opening thrust through the successively contiguous of the slides which can thus apply the thrust directly against the sides of the slider or trolley portions of the slides free from interference from the drape folds between the arms 13.
Attachment of the drapery bar 29 in operative relation over a window opening is adapted to be effected in any preferred manner, such as by means of one or more mounting brackets 35 each of which is secured thereto as by means of a screw 37 and secured as by means of a screw 38 to a support 39 such as a room surface. lt will be understood that similar bracket structure is provided at each opposite end of the drapery bar structure, whether the bar structure is of the single length type or of the telescopically adjustable type to accommodate mounting in or across window openings of variable width.
It will be understood that variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of this invention.
