Method used

The curtain design includes specific regions with distinct patterns on the front and back sides, allowing the curtain to function as a top treatment on either side while maintaining a cohesive appearance by hiding the interlining and hooks when reversed.

Benefits of technology

The curtain can be used as a top treatment on either side, providing a reversible and aesthetically pleasing solution without the need for expensive dual designs, enhancing versatility and cost-effectiveness.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a reversible curtain that can be used on either the front or back side, and more particularly to a reversible curtain equipped with a top treatment (curtain valance). [Background technology]

[0002] There are many functions that are required of curtains, but among them, the design itself, which is realized by various shapes and patterns, is considered an important element in decorating a room. For this reason, various designs are being developed every day.

[0003] As a way to easily change the design of curtains, reversible curtains have been developed that can be used on either side. The sewing is designed so that either side can be hung facing the inside of the room.

[0004] By the way, there is a type of window decoration called top treatment that is attached to the top of the curtain. It is widely used because it is not only used to hang curtains, but also to create a luxurious look by adding decoration to the top, and it can also hide the curtain rail.

[0005] One inexpensive way to implement top treatment is to fold a part of the curtain. With normal curtains, a core is formed at the top end and a hole is made on the back side for inserting the curtain hook, but this core is formed slightly below the top end and a hole is made on the back side. Then, by folding back the part above the core, the folded part functions as the top treatment. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] To make it function as a top treatment, the fabric must be folded back above the interlining, revealing the pattern on the reverse side. With careful matching of the front and reverse patterns, it is possible to make the curtain function as a top treatment, but in most cases the result will be a strange and outlandish design.

[0007] Therefore, for curtains that use part of the back side as a top treatment, it is necessary to have the same pattern on the front and back. In this case, it is impossible to create a difference in design between the front and back, which means that the curtain cannot function as a reversible curtain.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above background, and its object is to provide a curtain that can function as a curtain with top treatment while also being a reversible curtain, both the front and back sides of which can be used. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In the present invention, a surface on which a first region, a second region, and a third region are formed in this order from top to bottom; A back surface on which a fourth region, a fifth region, and a sixth region are formed in this order from top to bottom, The second and fifth regions are provided with holes for inserting curtain hooks as interlinings, The first, fifth and sixth regions have the same pattern, A curtain is provided in which the fourth region, the second region and the third region have the same pattern. Effect of the Invention

[0010] When the curtain of the present invention is hung on a window, it can be used as a front curtain with a top treatment of the front pattern, or it can be turned inside out and used as a back curtain with a top treatment of the back pattern, thus realizing a reversible curtain with a top treatment. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] Showing the first, second and third regions [Diagram 2] Showing the 4th, 5th and 6th regions [Diagram 3] Showing the 4th area, the 2nd area and the 3rd area [Figure 4] Showing the first, fifth and sixth regions DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] The reversible curtain 1 of the present invention is characterized in that both the front side and the back side can be used, and when in use, a top treatment is formed at the upper end.

[0014] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the front side of a reversible curtain 1. It is made up of a first region 21 in which a distinctive circular pattern B34 is formed from top to bottom, a second region 22 connected to the first region 21, which is provided with interlining and has holes for inserting curtain hooks, and a third region 23 connected to the second region 22, which is formed with a distinctive musical score pattern A24.

[0015] It should be noted that the left, upper and right ends of the edge of the top treatment are made up of thin bands of pattern B34, but this is merely a border left as a design element, and it goes without saying that the entire first area may be made up of pattern A24.

[0016] The pattern A24 on the front side is not limited to a music score pattern, and the pattern B34 on the back side is not limited to a circle pattern. As long as the patterns A24 and B34 are different, that's fine. The greater the difference in design between the front and back sides, the greater the effect of the reversible curtain, so it is preferable to have a large change in design between the patterns A24 and B34.

[0017] Next, Figure 2 shows the back side of the reversible curtain 1. From top to bottom, there are a fourth region 31 in which a distinctive musical score pattern A24 is formed, a fifth region 32 connected to the fourth region 31, which has a core and holes for inserting curtain hooks, and a sixth region 33 connected to the fifth region 32, which has a distinctive circle pattern B34.

[0018] Although there are thin areas of pattern A24 at the left and right ends of the fifth area 32 and the sixth area 33, this is merely a border left as a design element, and it goes without saying that the entire fifth and sixth areas may be pattern B34.

[0019] By sewing the reversible curtain 1 as described above, both the top treatment and the curtain can be oriented toward the room in pattern A24. Also, both the top treatment and the curtain can be oriented toward the room in pattern B34.

[0020] Fig. 3 shows the case where the side of pattern A24 is used. It can be seen that the fourth region 31 functions as a top treatment, and the third region 23 functions as a curtain. And, since the second region 22 is hidden by the fourth region 31, and the holes for inserting curtain hooks and the interlining are also hidden, there is no sense of incongruity in the curtain design.

[0021] Fig. 4 shows the case where pattern B34 is used. It can be seen that the first region 21 functions as a top treatment, and the sixth region 33 functions as a curtain. And since the fifth region 32 is hidden by the first region 21, and the holes for inserting curtain hooks and the interlining are also hidden, there is no sense of incongruity in the curtain design.

[0022] As is clear from Figures 3 and 4, the impression given by the reversible curtain 1 is very different when the front side is used and when the back side is used, so that as a reversible curtain, both the front side and the back side can be changed depending on the season, mood, purpose of the room, etc.

[0023] Furthermore, because the upper part of the curtain can also function as a top treatment, the company has succeeded in offering what is essentially two top-treated curtains at a low price, which can tend to be expensive.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. Some or all of the embodiments of the present invention are described as follows: [Appendix 1] a surface on which a first region, a second region, and a third region are formed in this order from top to bottom; A back surface on which a fourth region, a fifth region, and a sixth region are formed in this order from top to bottom, The second and fifth regions are provided with holes for inserting curtain hooks as interlinings, A curtain, characterized in that the first and sixth regions have a pattern A, and the fourth and third regions have a pattern B, and the patterns A and B are different patterns.
