Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The curtain can be opened and closed along the curtain rail by attaching the upper end of the curtain to a curtain hook and hanging the curtain hook on a runner. Here, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in the wave curtain 200, due to the arrangement and structure of the curtain hook 201, the curtain hook 201 hung on the runner 202 is slightly inclined, so a gap S is generated at the upper part of the joining of the wave curtain 200. Even if a magnet runner 202 is used, although the unintentional opening of the curtain 200 can be prevented, the gap S caused by the inclination of the curtain hook 201 cannot be eliminated, resulting in light leakage from the gap S and a decrease in the design quality of the entire wave style. To solve this problem, one could consider methods such as overlapping the meeting points of the curtains, but this would increase the amount of curtain fabric required or necessitate special sewing techniques, making it difficult to implement easily.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems and provides a technology that can easily prevent gaps from occurring when a wave curtain is closed. [Means for solving the problem]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0018] <First Embodiment> As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the curtain hook 1 is attached to the upper end of the curtain 100. The curtain hook 1 is detachably attached to a runner 60 provided so as to be able to travel along the extending direction of the curtain rail 50. Thereby, the curtain hook 1 travels along the curtain rail 50 together with the runner 60, and the curtain 100 can be opened and closed. Thus, at least by including the curtain hook 1, the curtain rail 50, and the runner 60, a hanging structure of the curtain 100 is configured.

[0019] The curtain hook 1 includes a main body 2 and an adjuster 3. The main body 2 is integrally formed of, for example, resin. The main body 2 includes an engaging portion 4, a mounting portion 5, and a suction portion 10. The engaging portion 4 is a portion into which the adjuster 3 is fitted and engaged. The engaging portion 4 includes a front portion 41, a middle portion 42, and a rear portion 43. The front portion 41 is a plate material erected at the center in the width direction of the middle portion 42. On the front surface of the middle portion 42, a plurality of claws 44 are formed along the extending direction (vertical direction, height direction). The claws 44 are formed such that their tips face downward, and are formed linearly side by side along the extending direction of the middle portion 42. The rear portion 43 is a portion that connects the engaging portion 4 and the mounting portion 5, and is a guide rail that guides the movement of the adjuster 3.

[0020] The mounting section 5 is to which the curtain 100 is attached, and the engaging section 4 is connected to it. The mounting portion 5 is formed to extend along the direction of extension of the engaging portion 4. The mounting portion 5 includes an arm portion (support portion) 51 extending from above to below, and an arm portion (support portion) 52 extending from below to above. The arms 51 and 52 are formed in a hairpin shape, with their ends facing each other at a distance from one another in the direction of extension of the mounting portion 5. The interlining 100a of the curtain 100 is inserted between the ends of the arms 51 and 52 and pressed down by both arms 51 and 52. This allows the curtain 100 to be supported and attached to the curtain hook 1.

[0021] The suction portion 10 is provided at the lower end of the mounting portion 5 on the side opposite to the adjuster 3 (hook portion 7), with the mounting portion 5 in between. The suction portion 10 is provided alongside the arm portions 51 and 52 along the extending direction (vertical direction) of the mounting portion 5. The suction part 10 comprises a storage part 11 and a magnet 12. The storage section 11 is provided at the lower end of the mounting section 5. The storage section 11 is formed integrally with the mounting section 5. The storage section 11 is designed so that the magnet 12 can be inserted from above, below, or from the side. The storage section 11 is provided with a locking piece 11a to prevent the stored magnet 12 from coming out. The magnet 12 is made from a small ferrite magnet or the like. The magnet 12 is sized to be easily stored in and out of the storage compartment 11.

[0022] Adjuster 3 adjusts the height of the curtain 100 and slides along the extending direction of the main body 2. The adjuster 3 comprises a hook portion 7 and a frame portion 8. The hook portion 7 is shaped like a hook and is detachably attached to a runner 60 that is freely mounted on the curtain rail 50. The hook portion 7 extends from the bottom upwards and then bends back downwards midway, with its tip pointing downwards. The frame portion 8 is fitted into the engaging portion 4 and is configured to move along the extending direction of the engaging portion 4. This allows the position of the hook portion 7 to be moved in the height direction, thereby allowing the height of the upper end of the curtain 100 to be adjusted.

[0023] The frame portion 8 comprises a central wall portion 81, left and right wall portions 82, a claw 83, and a window 84. The central wall portion 81 contacts the front portion 41 of the engaging portion 4, and is formed so that its surface direction aligns with the extending direction of the engaging portion 4. Left and right wall portions 82 are provided on both widthwise edges of the central wall portion 81. The left and right wall portions 82 are formed integrally with the central wall portion 81 such that their surface direction is perpendicular to the surface of the central wall portion 81. The left and right wall portions 82 are locked to the rear portion 43 so as to be movable along their extending direction. The claws 83 are formed integrally with, for example, the left and right wall portions 82. The tips of the claws 83 are formed to face upward, and they engage with the claws 44 when the frame portion 8 is engaged with the engagement portion 4. That is, the position of the adjuster 3 relative to the main body 2 can be determined by adjusting the engagement position of the claws 44 and claws 83. The claws 83 may also be formed on the central wall portion 81. The claws 83 are pressed against the claws 44 by their own spring properties, and the adjuster 3 can move in only one direction, downward. The window 84 is an opening formed in the left and right wall portions 82. The window 84 is formed to penetrate from the front surface to the back surface of the left and right wall portions 82. This allows the engagement between the claw 83 and the claw 44 to be confirmed through the window 84.

[0024] The curtain rail 50 is made of, for example, metal or resin. The curtain rail 50 has a rail groove formed at the lower side when it is attached to a window frame or the like. The rail groove is the part into which the runner 60 is inserted and attached. The curtain rail 50 is formed so that both edges rise inward, and the two edges are positioned opposite each other with a gap between them. That is, the space formed between the edges functions as the rail groove. Near the edges of the curtain rail 50, the running paths for the runner 60 are formed on either side of the rail groove.

[0025] The runner 60 is made of, for example, metal or resin. The runner 60 is inserted into the rail groove of the curtain rail 50 and is capable of moving freely along the rail groove. The runner 60 comprises a main body 61, a wheel 62, and a locking part 63. The main body 61 rotatably supports the wheel 62. A locking part 63 is attached to the main body 61. The wheels 62 are rotatably mounted on the main body 61. For example, four wheels 62 are provided for each runner 60, and each is placed on the running path of the curtain rail 50. The locking portion 63 is provided on the lower side of the main body 61. The locking portion 63 is integrally formed with the main body 61 so as to protrude downward from the rail groove when the runner 60 is attached to the curtain rail 50. The locking portion 63 is formed, for example, in an annular shape, and the hook-shaped portion of the hook portion 7 of the curtain hook 1 passes through it. This allows the hook portion 7 of the curtain hook 1 to be hooked onto the locking portion 63, and the curtain hook 1 to be attached to the runner 60.

[0026] When hanging the wave curtain 100 from each runner 60, the curtain hook 1 is attached to the runner 60 so that its front faces inward, as shown in Figure 3. Of the multiple runners 60 attached to the curtain rail 50, the curtain hook 1 is attached to the leading runner 60, which is the first runner to be closed when the curtain 100 is closed, while curtain hooks without the suction part 10 (for example, curtain hooks 201 as shown in Figure 8) are attached to the other runners 60. At this time, the connection point between the hook portion 7 of the curtain hook 1 and the locking portion 63 of the leading runner 60 is offset from the center of gravity of the curtain hook 1, so the curtain hook 1 is tilted as shown in Figure 8. As a result, the lower ends of the curtain hooks 1 are separated, and a gap is created between the interlining 100a of the curtain 100 attached to the mounting portion 5. However, by using the curtain hook 1 described above, the suction parts 10 of the curtain hook 1 attached to the leading runner 60 are attracted to each other by the magnetic force of the magnet 12, and the curtain hooks 1 stand upright in the vertical direction, thus preventing the curtain hooks 1 from opening. As a result, the interlinings 100a of the curtain 100 attached to the curtain hook 1 are neatly aligned, preventing light leakage. Therefore, it is easy to prevent gaps from forming when the wave curtain is closed.

[0027] Furthermore, the suction portion 10 is provided on the side opposite to the hook portion 7, with the mounting portion 5 in between. The suction portion 10 and the arms 51 and 52 are arranged side by side along the extending direction (vertical direction) of the mounting portion 5. As shown in Figure 3, when the curtain 100 is closed, the opposing suction portions 10 grip and adhere to each other, and the curtain 100 is held down from both sides by the curtain hooks 1. This increases the degree of adhesion of the curtain 100 and prevents the curtain 100 from opening. Furthermore, since the curtain hook 1 is covered by the peak portion of the wave-shaped curtain 100, it is not exposed on the interior side, thus improving the appearance. Furthermore, by using magnets in the suction part 10, the curtains 100 can be easily brought together simply by bringing the curtain hooks 1 close together, thus simplifying the structure of the curtain hooks 1. Furthermore, since the suction part 10 is provided at the lower end of the mounting part 5, the suction part 10 can forcibly close the part that spreads out the most when the curtain hook 1 is tilted.

[0028] <Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the curtain hook will be described. The difference between the curtain hook 1A in the second embodiment and the curtain hook 1 in the first embodiment is the number of suction parts 10. Therefore, the arrangement of the suction parts 10 will be described below, and components identical to those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions will be omitted.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, the curtain hook 1A is provided with two suction parts 10 and 10b. One suction part 10 is provided at the lower end of the mounting part 5 on the side opposite to the hook part 7, with the mounting part 5 in between, similar to the first embodiment. The other suction part 10b is provided at the upper end of the mounting part 5 on the side opposite to the hook part 7, with the mounting part 5 in between, similar to the mounting part 5. The suction part 10b provided at the upper end includes a storage part 11b and a magnet 12b, similar to the suction part 10 provided at the lower end. The storage section 11b is provided at the upper end of the mounting section 5. The storage section 11b is formed integrally with the mounting section 5. The storage section 11b is designed so that the magnet 12b can be inserted from above, below, or from the side. The storage section 11b is provided with a locking piece 11c to prevent the stored magnet 12b from coming out. The magnet 12b is made from a small ferrite magnet or the like. The magnet 12b is made to a size that fits inside the storage section 11b. The suction surfaces of the two suction parts 10 and 10b are positioned on the mounting part 5 so as to align with the plane of the main body 2 that extends in the vertical direction.

[0030] As described above, with the curtain hook 1A, when the curtain 100 is closed, the suction parts 10, 10b of the curtain hook 1A attached to the leading runner 60, which is located at the front, stick together due to the magnetic force of the magnets 12, 12b, preventing the curtain hook 1A from opening. As a result, the interlinings 100a of the curtain 100 attached to the curtain hook 1A are neatly aligned, preventing light leakage. Therefore, it is easy to prevent gaps from forming when the wave curtain is closed.

[0031] Furthermore, by using magnets in the suction parts 10 and 10b, the curtains 100 can be easily brought together simply by bringing the curtain hooks 1A close together, thus simplifying the structure of the curtain hooks 1A. Furthermore, since the suction parts 10 and 10b are provided at the upper and lower ends of the mounting part 5, respectively, the effect of preventing the curtain 100 from opening can be enhanced compared to the curtain hook 1 in the first embodiment.

[0032] <Variation> In addition to providing the suction part 10 on the curtain hook 1, as shown in Figure 5, a suction part 65 may also be provided on the opposing part of the leading runner 60, which is located at the front when the curtain 100 is closed. The suction part 65 is made of a magnet, and when the suction parts 10 of each curtain hook 1 are attracted to each other, the runners 60 are also attracted to each other by the magnetic force of the magnets in the suction part 65. This makes it possible to improve the effect of preventing the curtain 100 from opening compared to when the suction part 10 is provided only on the curtain hook 1.

[0033] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 6, an adhesive part 70 may be provided on the meeting portion (edge) of the curtain 100. In this case, the adhesive parts 70 (magnets) are attached to the two curtains 100 at the same height using clips or by sewing, so that when the curtains 100 are closed, the adhesive parts 70 stick together to prevent the curtains 100 from opening.

[0034] <Other> Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but includes all aspects included in the concept and claims of the present invention. Furthermore, each configuration may be selectively combined as appropriate to achieve at least some of the problems and effects described above. For example, the number of suction parts 10 provided on the curtain hook 1 may be one or more, and in addition to the configuration described above, three or more suction parts 10 may be provided. In this case, they may be provided in the intermediate part between the upper and lower ends of the mounting part 5. Alternatively, a single long suction part 10 may be provided over the entire length of the mounting part 5 in its extending direction. Alternatively, a locking portion for the hook portion 7 may be provided on the curtain rail 50 or runner 60 so as to be perpendicular to the opening and closing direction of the curtain 100, and the hook portion 7 may be hooked onto this locking portion to enhance the effect of preventing the curtain 100 from opening.
