Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for packing curtains used for interior and decoration.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional curtains mainly formed pleats during sewing and provided bag-shaped creases so that curtain hooks could be attached to the hanging part. Even when folded and packed in a rectangular shape starting from the bag-shaped creases, since they were originally creases, wrinkles or the like were not a concern even after unpacking and installing the curtain indoors.

[0003] In recent years, curtains with a flat appearance without pleats, which are designed for curtain rails and develop loop-shaped pleats after being attached to the curtain rail, or flat curtains that are attached to the curtain rail in a flat state without pleats in the first place to stylishly decorate the interior, have become popular.

[0004] Flat curtains use a lining in the part where the curtain hooks are attached in order to beautifully form loop-shaped pleats. The lining part has higher rigidity than the curtain fabric part, and when the lining part is folded and packed, there is a problem that wrinkles and creases occur and cannot be removed.

[0005] For example, a packing method in which a double lining is used as a core and rolled into a roll shape to prevent wrinkles is disclosed. However, in the case of flat curtains, since wrinkles in the lining part deteriorate the appearance during installation, it has been difficult with the conventional packing method.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a packaging method that prevents wrinkles and creases from forming in the interlining portion of a flat curtain, which has a curtain hook attachment portion and an interlining portion in the curtain hanging portion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] [1] A method for packaging a flat curtain having a curtain hook attachment section and a core section on the curtain hanging section, characterized in that a curtain hook is attached to the curtain hook attachment section, the curtain hooks are hung sequentially from the long side end of a rectangular template having a curved surface to which the curtain hook can be attached, toward the longitudinal direction, and the core section is folded together with the template by overlapping the core section along the curved surface of the template.

[0009] [2] The method for packaging a flat curtain as described in paragraph 1 above, wherein the curved pattern is bellows-shaped.

[0010] [3] The method for packaging flat curtains according to item 1 or 2 above, wherein the curved pattern has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] In the invention of [1], the interlining portion of a flat curtain is packaged by attaching the curtain hooks to the curved surface of a rectangular template that has a curved surface to which curtain hooks can be attached, starting from the long side end and moving along the curved surface in the longitudinal direction, and overlapping the interlining portion along the curved surface. As a result, no creases or wrinkles are formed in the interlining portion due to packaging when unpacked. Since the curtain hooks are attached to the template for packaging, it is easy to attach the curtain to a curtain rail once the template is removed.

[0012] In the invention of [2], since the curved pattern is accordion-shaped, it can be easily adapted even if the length of the interlining of the flat curtain changes. In other words, any size of flat curtain can be easily packaged. For example, patterns of the same length can be lined up, or a long pattern can be cut to the size of the flat curtain.

[0013] In the invention of [3], since the thickness of the curved pattern is in the range of 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm, the curtain hooks can be easily attached and detached, packaging is easy, and the pattern does not separate during transport. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 2] This is a schematic diagram showing a cross-section of the curved pattern of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a schematic perspective view showing a configuration in which a curtain hook attached to the interlining of a flat curtain is hung along the curved pattern of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a schematic diagram showing a cross-section of a flat curtain with a curtain hook attached to the interlining along a curved pattern of the present invention. [Figure 5] This is a schematic diagram illustrating a flat curtain. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] An embodiment of the flat curtain packaging method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the figures.

[0016] The method for packing a flat curtain according to the present invention is to hang the curtain hooks 7 of the flat curtain 8 in order from the end on the long side of the template paper 1 so that the core part 5 of the flat curtain 8 is along the template paper 1 with a curved surface, and fold the core part 5 together with the template paper 1 into a curved shape. Then, the curtain fabric part 6 is folded into a rectangle and boxed for packing. Since the curtain hooks 7 are hung in order from the end on the long side of the template paper 1, no creases occur in the core part 5. Even for a hard core part, since the folded part has a curved surface, no creases occur in the core part 5 during packing or unpacking. Since there is no core in the curtain fabric part 6, even if wrinkles occur, they can be easily removed with a steam iron or the like, so the folding method of the curtain fabric part 6 is not particularly limited.

[0017] The template paper 1 having the curved surface is preferably bellows-shaped as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example. According to this configuration, the voids are minimized, and curtains of any size can be easily packed. The packing volume is minimized, and the packing efficiency does not deteriorate. The bellows shape of the template paper 1 of the present invention is a structure of repeating mountain folds and valley folds, and is characterized in that the mountain fold parts and the valley fold parts are curved surfaces.

[0018] Examples of the material of the template paper 1 having the curved surface include cardboard and plastic films. Among them, cardboard impregnated with resin and finished hard is preferred. Examples of the resin to be impregnated include polymer resins such as polyester resin and polyurethane resin. Examples of the material of the plastic film include olefin resins such as polypropylene and polyester.

[0019] The approximate arc Rmm of the folded part of the template paper 1 having the curved surface is shown at 3 in FIG. 2. As the value of the approximate Rmm increases, the occurrence of wrinkles can be further suppressed, but the packing volume also increases. Therefore, 5.0 mm to 20.0 mm is preferred, and more preferably 8.0 mm to 12.0 mm. By doing so, no wrinkles occur in the folded part, and the packing volume can be reduced.

[0020] The thickness of the template paper 1 having the curved surface is preferably in the range of 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm. If it is 0.5 mm or less, the curtain hook 7 is likely to separate during conveyance. If it is 2.0 mm or more, it becomes difficult to attach and detach the curtain hook 7, there is a risk of damaging the curtain hook 7, and the packing operation time cannot be shortened.

[0021] The height H mm of the template paper 1 having the curved surface is shown in 2 of FIG. 1. The height H mm is shorter than the length in the vertical direction of the core part 5 of the flat curtain 8. In order to hang the curtain hook 7, if it is longer than the core part 5, there is a risk of strongly creasing the curtain cloth part 6, which is not preferable.

[0022] The folding length T mm of the template paper 1 having the curved surface is shown in 4 of FIG. 2. The folding length T mm is preferably 5.0 mm or more. If it is 5.0 mm or less, the ratio of the folded part increases, the packing operation becomes difficult, and there is a risk of wrinkling. It may be appropriately determined according to the size of the flat curtain 8 and the size of the packing case, but about 10.0 mm to 30.0 mm is preferable.

[0023] According to the packing method of the present invention, since it is packed with the curtain hook 7 attached to the flat curtain 8, it is not necessary for the purchaser to attach the curtain hook 7 in order to hang the curtain. The template paper can be removed and it can be easily hung. Also, since there are no creases in the core part, an excellent aesthetic wearing feeling can be obtained. It is useful not only for flat curtains but also as a conventional curtain packing method.

Example

[0024] Next, examples of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. It can be applied within the scope not departing from the content of the specification.

[0025] A standard commercially available flat curtain (size: length 2000.0mm x width 1200.0mm) with a core length of 120.0mm and a curtain hook pitch of 8.0mm was prepared. As a curved pattern, the following patterns were prepared as shown in Figures 1 and 2: Material: Thick cardboard impregnated with polyester resin and molded, with a curve radius of approximately R=10.0mm, thickness of 1.0mm, height H=70.0mm, and fold length T=110.0mm.

[0026] Starting from the edge of the flat curtain, the curtain hooks were attached to the prepared curved pattern, following the curve. After all the curtain hooks were attached, the pattern was cut to the length of the flat curtain. Then, the curtain fabric portion was folded into a rectangle and packed into a cardboard box.

[0027] <Comparative Example> As a comparative example, a flat curtain was packaged in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a template with a curved surface of approximately R=1.0 mm was used.

[0028] The packaged products obtained in the examples and comparative examples were unpacked after 72 hours and visually inspected for creases and wrinkles. In the examples, when a curved pattern was used, there were no creases or wrinkles in the interlining, and the appearance when worn was beautiful. On the other hand, when a pattern with a small curve radius (R) was used in the comparative examples, the creases in the folded parts were noticeable in the interlining, and the appearance when worn was not good. [Industrial applicability]

[0029] The present invention provides a flat curtain packaging method that allows for easy packaging without creating creases or wrinkles in the flat curtain, and also provides a packaging method that is easy to install. [Explanation of Symbols]
