Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a freely vertically movable curtain, in particular a curtain that can be attached to the door frame, window frame or glass by gluing and that allows height adjustment, pulling apart and pushing together of the curtain. State of the art

[0002] Since curtains have a certain weight, installation requires drilling holes in the window frame or high on the wall using power tools and then fixing screws. Only after the top curtain track is securely mounted can the curtain be hung stably and support its weight. Due to these structural challenges, many consumers hire professionals to measure and install the curtains for an additional fee. However, this results in a longer waiting and installation time from scheduling the appointment to completion.

[0003] If consumers want to save time and money, self-installation is an option. However, current curtain installation methods are not user-friendly for DIY installation. Therefore, the inventor's goal is to develop a solution that allows curtains to be easily attached and used without damaging the walls and with fewer tools. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a freely vertically movable curtain for easy installation, which can be attached to the door frame, window frame or glass by gluing and allows height adjustment, pulling apart and pushing together of the curtain, so that the invention has the advantages of quick assembly and convenient use.

[0005] This objective is achieved by the freely vertically movable curtain for easy installation of the invention, which comprises an upper positioning element that can be attached to the top of the door frame, window frame or glass, a lower positioning element that can be attached to the bottom of the door frame, window frame or glass, a curtain body that is arranged between the upper positioning element and the lower positioning element, and at least one cord that is guided through the curtain body and runs around the upper positioning element and the lower positioning element, wherein the curtain body has an upper track, a lower track and a curtain that is arranged between the upper track and the lower track and can be pulled apart and pushed together, characterized in that the cord has an upper retaining section that runs around the upper positioning element, a lower retaining section that runs around the lower positioning element, and a winding section that penetrates the curtain vertically and runs crosswise between the upper rail and the lower rail, the upper and lower ends of the winding section being connected to the upper retaining section and the lower retaining section, respectively; and The upper holding section of the cord allows the upper rail to move towards or away from the underside of the upper positioning element, and the lower holding section allows the lower rail to move towards or away from the top of the lower positioning element, and the curtain can be pulled apart and pushed together via the winding section between the upper rail and the lower rail.

[0006] The following section explains the design of each component in more detail:

[0007] In this design, the upper positioning element and the lower positioning element each have a cord groove, the cord grooves serving to receive and position the upper holding section and the lower holding section of the cord.

[0008] In this version, the cord groove is attached to a positioning rod, which can be fixed to the door frame, window frame or glass by gluing.

[0009] In this design, the number of cords is two, wherein the upper part of the winding section of each cord extends upwards from the two ends of the upper rail and forms the upper holding section, wherein the lower part of the winding section of each cord extends downwards from the two ends of the lower rail and forms a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end being joined together to form the lower holding section.

[0010] In this design, an elastic element is provided between the two first ends and the two second ends, whereby the first end, the second end, the winding section and the upper holding section of each cord are held in a taut state by the spring force of the elastic element.

[0011] During the process, the winding section of one of the two cords is guided from top to bottom through the through holes on both sides of the curtain, while the winding section of the other cord is guided from top to bottom through the through holes in the middle of the curtain.

[0012] The type of fabric used is pleated blind, pleated shade or honeycomb pleated blind.

[0013] Compared to the prior art, the curtain body is lightweight due to the central and side guides for the cords. The upper and lower positioning elements can be attached to door frames, window frames, or glass by adhesive. The lightweight curtain body allows for height adjustment, as well as opening and closing, between the upper and lower positioning elements, thus eliminating the need for drilling and damaging the wall. Simultaneously, the use of mounting tools is reduced, offering the advantages of quick installation and ease of use.

Ways to implement the invention

[0015] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the invention relates to a freely vertically movable curtain for easy installation, which can be easily attached and used without damaging the wall and with reduced tool use.

[0016] The curtain comprises an upper positioning element 10, a lower positioning element 20 arranged at a vertical distance to the upper positioning element 10, a curtain body 30 arranged between the upper positioning element 10 and the lower positioning element 20, and at least one cord 40 which is guided through the curtain body 30 and runs around the upper positioning element 10 and the lower positioning element 20.

[0017] The curtain body 30 has an upper rail 31, a lower rail 32, and a fabric panel 33, which is positioned between the upper rail 31 and the lower rail 32 and can be extended and retracted. The fabric panel 33 can be a pleated blind, a Roman shade, or a honeycomb blind.

[0018] The cord 40 has an upper retaining section 41 that runs around the upper positioning element 10, a lower retaining section 42 that runs around the lower positioning element 20, and a winding section 43 that vertically penetrates the curtain 33 and runs crosswise between the upper rail 31 and the lower rail 32. The upper and lower ends of the winding section 43 are each connected to the upper retaining section 41 and the lower retaining section 42, respectively.

[0019] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, during installation, the upper positioning element 10 and the lower positioning element 20 are fixed to the top and bottom of the door frame, window frame, or glass, respectively. The curtain panel 30 is then suspended and positioned between the upper positioning element 10 and the lower positioning element 20 using the upper retaining section 41 and the lower retaining section 42 of the cord 40. The upper retaining section 41 of the cord 40 allows the upper track 31 to move towards or away from the underside of the upper positioning element 10. The lower retaining section 42 allows the lower track 32 to move towards or away from the top of the lower positioning element 20. The curtain panel 33 can be extended and retracted between the upper track 31 and the lower track 32 using the winding section 43, offering the advantages of quick installation and convenient operation.

[0020] The Fig. Figures 4 to 7 show schematic representations of the application of the invention. Fig. 4 The upper rail 31 of the curtain body 30 rests against the underside of the upper positioning element 10. The user can slide the lower rail 32 upwards away from the lower positioning element 20 to gather the curtain 33.

[0021] In Fig. 5 The upper rail 31 of the curtain body 30 rests against the underside of the upper positioning element 10. The user can pull the lower rail 32 towards the lower positioning element 20 to pull the curtain 33 apart.

[0022] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the user can move both the upper rail 31 and the lower rail 32 of the curtain body 30 away from the upper positioning element 10 and lower positioning element 20, so that the curtain 33 is in a middle position of the window.

[0023] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the user can move the lower rail 32 of the blind body 30 so that it rests against the top of the lower positioning element 20, and simultaneously pull the upper rail 31 downwards away from the underside of the upper positioning element 10. This positions the blind 33 in the lower area of ​​the window. In this way, the screen height and screen position of the blind 33 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0024] The following section explains the design of each component in more detail:

[0025] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the number of cords 40 in the figures is two. The upper part of the winding section 43 of each cord 40 extends upwards from both ends of the upper rail 31 and forms the upper retaining section 41. The lower part of the winding section 43 of each cord 40 extends downwards from both ends of the lower rail 32 and forms a first end 421 and a second end 422. The first end 421 and the second end 422 are joined together to form the lower retaining section 42.

[0026] An elastic element 44 is provided between the two first ends 421 and the two second ends 422. The two ends of the elastic element 44 each pull on the two first ends 421 and the two second ends 422. This allows the user to adjust the length of the cord 40 according to the distance between the upper positioning element 10 and the lower positioning element 20. As a result, the first end 421, the second end 422, the winding section 43, and the upper holding section 41 of each cord 40 are held in a taut state by the spring force of the elastic element 44.

[0027] In practice, several through-holes (not shown) are provided on both sides and in the middle of the curtain 33. The winding section 43 of one of the two cords 40 is guided from top to bottom through the through-holes on both sides of the curtain 33, while the winding section 43 of the other cord 40 is guided from top to bottom through the through-holes in the middle of the curtain 33. This allows the curtain body 30 not only to move up and down in equilibrium relative to the winding sections 43 of the two cords 40 and to be positioned by the friction between the cords 40 and the curtain 33, but also, due to the guidance in the middle and on the sides, to reduce the weight of the curtain body 30, which facilitates installation.

[0028] In practice, the upper positioning element 10 and the lower positioning element 20 each have a cord groove 401. The cord grooves 401 serve to receive and position the upper retaining section 41 and the lower retaining section 42 of the cord 40.

[0029] In the figure, the cord groove 401 is attached to a positioning rod 402. The two positioning rods 402 can be attached to the top and bottom of the door frame, window frame, or glass by gluing. The cords 40 are then hooked and positioned between the upper positioning element 10 and the lower positioning element 20, thereby fixing the curtain body 30.

[0030] Compared to conventional curtains, the upper and lower positioning elements 10, 20 can be attached to door frames, window frames, or glass by adhesive. The curtain body 30 is lightweight due to the central and lateral guidance of the cords 40. It allows for height adjustment, as well as opening and closing, between the upper and lower positioning elements 10, 20, thus eliminating the need for drilling and damaging the wall. Simultaneously, the use of mounting tools is reduced, offering the advantages of quick installation and ease of use.

[0031] As also in Fig.As shown in Figure 8, the upper positioning element 10 and the lower positioning element 20 can be attached not only in a longer version at the top and bottom of the frame or glass, but also in a shorter version at the four corners. Here, too, the upper retaining section 41 and the lower retaining section 42 of the cord can be hooked onto and positioned. During assembly, the two upper positioning elements 10 must lie on the same horizontal line, as must the two lower positioning elements 20, which must be vertically aligned with the upper positioning elements 10.

[0032] The above-mentioned embodiments and drawings serve only to illustrate the preferred embodiments of this invention and in no way limit the scope of this invention. All elements that are similar or identical to the purpose, structure, device, or features of this invention shall fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0033] The invention relates to a freely vertically displaceable curtain for easy installation, comprising an upper positioning element (10), a lower positioning element (20), a curtain body (30) arranged between the upper positioning element (10) and the lower positioning element (20), and at least one cord (40) that is guided through the curtain body (30) and runs around the upper positioning element (10) and the lower positioning element (20), wherein the curtain body (30) has an upper rail (31), a lower rail (32), and a curtain (33) arranged between the upper rail (31) and the lower rail (32), wherein the cord (40) has an upper retaining section (41) that runs around the upper positioning element (10), a lower retaining section (42) that runs around the lower positioning element (20), and a winding section (43).which vertically penetrates the curtain (33) and runs crosswise between the upper rail (31) and the lower rail (32).
