Device for hanging the bows of a bow curtain on a curtain rod

The invention relates to a device for the storage of loops according to the preamble of claim 1.

A generic device is shown in Figs 8 and 9 of <patcit id="pcit0001" dnum="WO0060985A"><text>WO 00/60985</text></patcit> previously known. The there described cylindrical body has an inner diameter which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the curtain rod so that it can be moved on the curtain rod. About the outer wall of the cylindrical body, a loop of a loop curtain be hung. See also the right to the preamble of claim 1<patcit id="pcit0002" dnum="WO9947031A"><text>WO 99/47031</text></patcit>,

From the <patcit id="pcit0003" dnum="GB2338643A"><text>GB 2338643</text></patcit> discloses an apparatus for supporting the loops of a loop curtain. This device consists of a cylindrical body which is slidable over a curtain rod. On this cylindrical body, the loop of the curtain can be placed. It is thus on the outer wall of the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body has a C-shaped cross section and can be bracketed with the both end portions in each case a groove of a curtain rod.

A device of the generic type is also known from <patcit id="pcit0004" dnum="CH302105"><text>CH 302 105</text></patcit> known. Again a curtain loop is placed around a circular cylindrical body. This circular cylindrical body is then slidably mounted with a separate device on an I-shaped curtain rail.

The <patcit id="pcit0005" dnum="EP0410110A1"><text>EP 0410110 A1</text></patcit> also describes a generic device. There, a cross-sectional shape of a circular disk having Direction cylindrical body is secured in a U-shaped recess of a support bracket. The retainer carries a plurality of rollers with which it is mounted in a rolling groove of a curtain rail.

Starting from the aforementioned prior art, the invention has the object to develop the device for use advantageous.

The object is achieved by the specified in the claims doctrine, it being provided that the cylindrical body is adjustable in length. This can be realized in that the sleeve consists of two halves that are telescopically inserted into each other. The individual length positions can be fixed by latching means.

The rifles inventive drive with curtain be delayed up to block up to today. The loops can not confused. In addition, the Büchseninnenwandung may be formed so that the lubricity is optimized. The sleeve may have a circular cylindrical shape. End side, a radial projection is preferably provided. This radial projection may be formed as an annular collar. The bush thus gets in cross section the appearance of an H, with extended H-bridge. The H-bridge is the loop. It is fixed on both sides by means of the annular collars in the axial direction and thus can not slip out of the bush. On the other hand, by gravity fixation still ensures that the curtain can be removed in a simple manner, this is possible because the loop rests loosely on the sleeve and preferably exclusively by their weight or the weight of the curtain is held. The cans then remain on the curtain rod. The bushings slide preferably with a radial play on the curtain rod. They may be made of wood, metal or plastic. The strap bondage may also occur in a variant of the invention by means of clamping arms which are assigned to the wheel of the bush. These clamping arms are preferably based springing from the end faces of the sleeve projections and extend towards each other informed of the Büchsenwandung to pinch the strap between itself and the Büchsenwandung can. In a variant of the invention the cavity of the bushing has a shape deviating from the non-circular shape. The mold may in particular be elliptical, so that the bush has a Vorzugshängrichtung on the curtain rod. The clamp arms are preferably arranged so that they lie on the opposite side to the visible side. A result of this non-circular cavity is hard to rotate the bush.

The invention is explained with reference to accompanying figures. Show it:<dl id="dl0001"><dt>Fig. 1</dt><dd>a schematic representation of the suspended on a curtain rod by means of rifles loops of a curtain;</dd><dt>FIG. 2</dt><dd>the rifle in the view</dd><dt>Fig. 3</dt><dd>a section along the line III-III in Fig. 1;</dd><dt>Fig. 4</dt><dd>a second embodiment in a perspective view;</dd><dt>Fig. 5</dt><dd>the embodiment of FIG. 4 in an end view and</dd><dt>Fig. 6</dt><dd>a third embodiment, in which the bushing is designed in two parts and the length adjustability is shown.</dd></dl>

On the curtain rail 1, a plurality of cans 4 are arranged one behind the other. Each bush 4 has a circular cylindrical cross-section and an internal aperture having a diameter greater than the diameter of the curtain rod 1 so that the head 4 can slide with play on the curtain rod. 1 The sleeve may be made of metal, wood or plastic. At the edges of the outer wall 5 of the sleeve 4, the sleeve has circumferentially extending radial protrusions 6. The gap between these radial projections 6 corresponds to the width of a loop 2, so that the loop 2 can lie exactly between the two radial projections 6 to be fixed in the axial direction ,

If the curtain raised, so ride the bushings 4 to block, so that the individual loops 2 spaced by the width of two radial projections 6 are each other. If the curtain drawn, so take the cans, by slipping on the curtain rod 1, apart and remain in the determined by the loop spacing distance on the curtain rod 1. Fig. 6 shows a variant. There, the bush 4 is in two parts. The two sleeve parts 4 'and 4 "are telescoped into one another. In this way, the axial length of the sleeve is adjustable. In order to fix the set length, having one of the two sleeve parts 4', preferably the one which in the other sleeve half 4 'is inserted, radially outwardly projecting ribs 19. These ribs 19 can be engaged by resilient ribs 20 of the outer sleeve part 4 '. It is also possible to design the fins helically, so that the length adjustment can be made by a screwing movement.

In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, the bush 4 has a Ovalhöhlung 9th

From the away from each other facing end surfaces of the bush 4 from going axial projections 8, of which successive assigning clamp arms 7 protrude, which extend parallel to the surface 5 of the sleeve approximately. Such as in particular the figure 5 is shown, the strap 2 is clamped between a respective clamping arm 7 and the outer wall 5 of the liner.

The oval shape of the cavity 9 with the result that the sleeve 4 has a preferred hanging orientation. The clamp arms 7 are so arranged for the guidance of Ovalhöhlung 9 that they will be hanging bush beyond the view direction S.

6 shows a measure by which it can be achieved that the bush is adjustable in length. The box shown in Figure 6 is designed telescopically.
