Abstract

A valance (17) is draped on a curtain rod (11) by being pulled through three pairs of curtain rings (12, 13) on the rod. The rings (12, 13) in each pair of rings are interconnected by means of three plastic clips (14, 15) that are displaceable along the rings. With the three clips moved adjacent one another, the rings can be at an angle so that it will be easy to pull out the valance in a bow between the rings. When the clips are again spread along the rings, the valance will be held between the rings in each pair of rings. The two outer pairs of rings are held in place by the attachments for the curtain rod.

Description

A SUSPENSION ARRANGEMENT FOR A VALANCE AND A METHOD TO DRAPE A VALANCE.
This invention relates to a suspension arrangement for a valance and to a method of draping a valance.
It is an object of the invention to permit for a stylish draping of a valance by simple means.
The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig 1 is a perspective view of a detail of a suspension device in accordance with the invention.
Fig 2 is a view similar to Fig 1 but showing some details in other relative positions.
Fig 3 is a view at a larger scale of a detail shown in the
Figures 1 and 2.
Fig 4 shows a curtain suspension with a valance draped in accordance with the invention.
In the Figures, a valance is shown as being completely transparent.
In the Figures 1,2,3, a curtain rod 11 is shown in the form of a metal tube or a wooden rod with a substantially
circular transverse section. On the rod 11, there are three pairs of rings. One pair is shown in Fig 3 and it comprises two rings 12,13 and three couples in the form of plastic clips 14,15,16. Such a clip is shown enlarged in Figure 3. The clips have friction grips on the rings but the rings can be moved along the rings.
When draping a valance on a curtain rod, one starts by pulling the valance through all the three pairs of rings. In Figures 1 and 2, the valance is only indicated and the rings are shown in their entirety although they are in fact hidden or partly hidden behind the valance. Then, one moves two of the clips (the clips 14 and 16) on each pair of rings towards the third clip and pulls the valance 17 out in a bow 18 between the rings of a pair of rings as shown in Fig 1. Then, the clips 14,16 are moved back to their normal positions as shown in Figure 2 so that they lock the valance 17. The outer pair of rings are held in place by the
attachments for the curtain rod if they are outside of the attachments or if the rings in a pair are at each side of the attachment. The pair of rings in the middle need not be locked to the rod.
In Figure 4, the three bows 18 of the valance 17 can be seen and between these bows 18, the valance hangs freely in bows so that the curtain rod can be seen . The curtains 19,20 are suspended on curtain rods that are hidden behind the
valance.

Claims

Claims
1. A suspension arrangement for a valance (17) comprising a curtain rod (11) and rings (12, 13) on the rod,
characterized in that
the rings (12, 13) are coupled together in pairs so that the valance (17) can be pulled through the rings and out between the rings in a bow between two interconnected rings.
2. A suspension arrangement according to claim 1,
characterized in that the rings (12, 13) are turnable outwardly from a substantially parallel position in which they are lockable.
3. A suspension arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the rings (12, 13) in a pair are interconnected by a number, preferably three, couples (14, 15, 16) that have friction grip to the rings and are displaceable along the rings.
4. A suspension arrangement according to claim 3,
characterized in that the the couples (14, 15, 16) consist of clips, preferably plastic clips.
5. A method of draping a valance,
characterized by the steps of pulling the valance (17) through a number of pairs of rings on a curtain rod (11), preferably through three pairs, when the rings in a pair are coupled together, pulling the valance in a bow (18) between the rings (12, 13) in each pair of rings, and locking the valance in the pairs of rings.
6. A method according to claim 5, characterized by the step of locating two outer pairs of rings on the outside of the attachments of the curtain rod or locating the rings in these pairs on each side of the respective attachment so that the pairs of rings are held in place by these
