AI Technical Summary
Existing curtains made of ribbons hanging from a rod face issues such as costly and lengthy production processes, poor quality, creasing over time, and unreliable tape fixation to the rod.
The use of flat tubular fabric for the ribbons and a novel method of attaching them to a rod with a deformable slot and a second rod to secure the ends, reducing creasing and improving fixation reliability.
This approach results in higher quality curtains with reduced creasing and improved tape fixation, enhancing durability and reliability.
Description
MI98U0478 C) f- I HR vet t : 10JUL.1998 i ! -----------J » lZ iu ANO ! CURTAIN COMPRISING A NUMBER OF HANGING RIBBONS FROM AN AUCTION. in the name of Frigerio Virginio - Via Roma, 98 / 100 - 20040 CAVENAGO BRIANZA (MI). EL / 6 ******* The present invention relates to a method for making a curtain. The present invention also includes a curtain obtained according to the said process. Curtains are known that comprise a plurality of ribbons hanging from a rod. The production of these curtains requires long and expensive processes, also due to the difficulty encountered in the 11 1 automate some processing phases. Furthermore, the curtains obtained in this way are of poor quality. Ribbons in particular tend to crease over time. The tapes still appear to be attached to the pole in an unsatisfactory and in any case unreliable manner. The present invention aims to provide an improved method for making curtains. The present invention also aims to realize curtains of better quality than those currently produced. According to one aspect of the present invention, a process is provided for making a curtain as specified in claim 1. An embodiment of the present invention is described below for illustrative purposes only and is illustrated in the attached drawings in which: - figure 1 is an enlarged perspective view of a first sectional detail of the curtain which is the subject of the invention: - figures 2a, 2b and 2c illustrate three phases of the production of the curtain which is the object of the invention; and - figure 3 is a perspective view of the curtain which is the object of the invention. With reference to the above figures, the curtain, indicated as a whole with the reference number 1 (figure 3), is made up of a plurality of ribbons 2 fixed to a rod 3. A feature of the curtain 1, according to the illustrated example, is that the tapes 2 are made of flat tubular fabric (figure 1). The use of flat tubular fabric leads, among other things, to a drastic reduction in the phenomena of creasing of the curtain 1. Another feature of the curtain 1, according to the illustrated example, is that the fixing of the tapes 2 to the rod 3 is obtained through the following steps (fig. 2a, 2b, 2c): - a first rod 3a is made having a longitudinal cavity 4 communicating with the outside through a slit 5 parallel to the axis, the light of said slit 5 being smaller than the section of the cavity 4 and being elastically deformable; - one end of each strip 2 is doubled on a second rod 3b, having a section of similar dimensions to the dimensions of the section of the cavity 4; and - the second rod 3b thus machined is press-fitted into the cavity 4 of the first rod 3a, thus blocking one end of each strip 2 inside the rod 3. Cavity 4 may, for example, have a substantially square cross-section, while rod 3b may, for example, have a substantially cylindrical cross-section. The coupling between rod 3a and rod 3b can be obtained, for example, using a press or similar. A technician in the field will be able to make various modifications or variations to the invention thus conceived, all of which fall within the scope of the inventive concept. The materials used, the shapes and the dimensions may
Claims
CLAIMS 1. Curtain comprising a plurality of ribbons (2) hanging from a rod (3), characterised in that said rod (3) is composed of: a first rod (3a) having a longitudinal cavity (4) communicating with the outside through a longitudinal slit (5), the light of said slit (5) being smaller than the section of the cavity (4) and being elastically deformable; and a second rod (3b) having a section of dimensions similar to the dimensions of the section of the cavity (4) of the first rod (3a), on which the ribbons (2) are doubled, which is suitable to be coupled by pressure in the cavity (4) of the first rod (3a) thus blocking the ribbons (2) to the rod (3).
2. Curtain, according to claim 1, wherein said hollow (4) has a substantially square cross-section.
3. Curtain, according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said second rod (3b) has a substantially annular cross-section.
4. Curtain, according to one of the preceding claims, wherein said tapes (2) are made of flat tubular fabric. With vary according to needs.
