AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This invention proposes a simple and easy to use removable fixing device for telescopic rails that can mask the opening, including the frame. The device can be used on either end of the rail and holds the curtain in position. It includes a cylindrical connecting piece surrounded by elastic elements, which aligns them coaxially. The piece has two zones with different diameters and collars to hold the elastic elements. This makes it easy to adjust and install the device.

Problems solved by technology

This constitutes a drawback, in particular of aesthetic nature but also of a functional nature since a curtain (carried by such a rail) is above all intended to mask an opening, including the frame.
This prior art does not permit this.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIG. 1 concerns a first embodiment of the invention. The fixing device thus illustrated is intended to equip a telescopic rail consisting of two coaxial tubes 1, 2 that can slide with respect to each other and having an overlap zone the length of which varies according to the dimension of the window or frame on which the rail is fixed. This is because the rail can adapt to door or window frames 4 of variable dimensions. A spring 3 visible in FIG. 2 is housed in and in contact with the inside of the two tubes 1, 2 at their overlap zones and helps to maintain a given rail length. Preferentially, a compression spring consisting of zones of different stiffnesses is chosen; it is best shown in FIG. 7.

[0032]The fixing device or fixing system according to the invention comprises in particular an attachment lug 5 enabling firstly attachment to the relevant frame 4 and secondly holding of the curtain at a given distance from a pane (or equivalent) 10 held by the frame 4. The distance b...

Abstract

The present invention concerns a removable fixing device for a telescopic rail comprising an internal spring (3) and intended to support a curtain on a window or door frame (4), said fixing comprising in particular a lug (5) for attachment on the frame (4) and separation from the pane, and means of connection with one end of said rail, said connecting means being independent of the lug (5). According to the invention, said connecting means comprise at least a first holding element (61) and and a second holding element (62), each element cooperating with the internal wall of the free end of one of the tubes (1, 2) forming the telescopic rails and with the internal part of an end piece (7, 9) intended to cover the free end of said rail.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to the field of fixing systems for rails, in particular telescopic, for attaching curtains, drapes or other elements to a door, window or other element having a rigid frame.[0002]It is a case in fact of removably, that is to say reversibly and non-definitively, fixing a rail to such a frame. The rail is telescopic in that it comprises an inner rigid tube able to slide axially in an outer coaxial rigid tube. The tubes overlap over part of their length, at the middle part of the rail once extended. The rail may also comprise a compression spring disposed inside the tubes or a spring system to be screwed, at the middle overlap of the tubes.[0003]Many systems for fixing such rails are known and appreciated by the user since they make it possible to fix the rails without nails or screws or other equivalent system. They in fact allow fixing by simple screwing or extending of the two tubes with respect to each other.PRIOR ART[0004...
