Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a curtain hook, and particularly to a curtain hook that gives the appearance of a pleated curtain (hereinafter referred to as a serpentine curtain) without performing zigzag sewing on a plain curtain.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional serpentine curtains in the market have a mechanism that uses a plurality of pulleys (runners) in a curtain rail to deploy the curtain fabric in a serpentine shape along the rail. The plurality of pulleys are fixed at intervals with thin threads, and curtain hooks are hung on the pulleys for use. When the curtain is deployed, since the distance between the pulleys is fixed, the curtain fabric has a regularly serpentine appearance.

[0003] However, such curtains are difficult to widely spread because the dedicated rail is expensive. Also, manual adjustment is often required to perfectly deploy the curtain in a serpentine shape every time. To solve this problem, a new curtain hook is required.

[0004] This regularly serpentine curtain looks beautiful and is very popular with customers, but it is difficult to widely spread because the dedicated curtain rail is expensive. Also, it is not always possible to reproduce a perfect serpentine shape every time the curtain is deployed, and manual adjustment is sometimes required. To solve this problem, a new curtain hook is needed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a new curtain hook that solves the problems in the above-described background art.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the technical problems described above, the present invention provides the following technical solution. The curtain hook of the present invention includes a hook body. The hook body has fixing rods on both sides and a fastener in the center. The upper and lower ends of the fixing rods on both sides are provided with a first hook and a second hook that can engage with a plurality of pockets provided in two tiers, upper and lower, on the upper end of the curtain. A movable hook is also provided on the outer wall of the fastener. This movable hook engages with a pulley that is movably installed in the curtain rail. By providing the hook body, fixing rods, first hook, second hook, fastener and movable hook, the operation of the snake-type curtain is simplified and the cost of use is reduced.

[0007] Furthermore, it eliminates the need for expensive rails specifically designed for snake-shaped curtains, thus promoting their widespread adoption. In addition, the hook body, fixing rod, first hook, and second hook are formed in an overall "X" shape, which makes it easier to position the curtain.

[0008] Furthermore, the distance between the outer walls of the first hook at the upper end and the second hook at the lower end of the fixing rods on both sides is 35 mm, which ensures a perfect snake-like distribution when the curtain is extended. In addition, the outer wall of the fastener is stepped downwards, which facilitates the positioning of the movable hook. Moreover, one end of the movable hook is hook-shaped, and the other end has a stepped slope corresponding to the fastener, which allows the movable hook to be positioned at different heights. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: By providing a hook body, fixing rod, first hook, second hook, fastener, and movable hook, the operation of the snake-shaped curtain is simplified and usage costs are reduced. Furthermore, the need to use expensive dedicated rails is eliminated, promoting the widespread use of snake-shaped curtains.

[0010] The figures are provided to further illustrate the present invention and constitute part of the description. They are used to illustrate the present invention together with the embodiments, but are not intended to limit the present invention. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0011] [Figure 1] This is a schematic diagram of the front cross-sectional structure of the curtain hook of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a schematic diagram of the side structure of the curtain hook of the present invention. [Figure 3] This figure shows a snake-shaped curtain formed using the curtain hook of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the best embodiments and drawings. These embodiments are part of the present invention and do not encompass all embodiments. A person of ordinary skill in the art can derive other embodiments without creative effort, all of which are covered by the present invention.

[0013] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, 100 represents a curtain hook. Also, 1 is the hook body, 101 is the fixing rod, 102 is the first hook, 103 is the second hook, 104 is the fastener, and 105 is the movable hook. The present invention provides the following technical solutions.

[0014] The curtain hook 100 in Figures 1 and 2 has a hook body 1. The hook body 1 has fixing rods 101 extending vertically on both sides and a vertically elongated fastener 104 in the center.

[0015] A first hook 102 is installed at the upper end of each fixing rod 101 on both sides, and a second hook 103 is installed at the lower end. The first hook 102 and the second hook 103 are inserted into the lower end openings of multiple vertically elongated pockets 3a, which are provided in two upper and lower rows of the curtain tape 3 at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction, as shown in Figure 3.

[0016] A movable hook 105 is provided on the outer wall of the fastener 104. This results in a configuration consisting of the hook body 1, fixing rod 101, first hook 102, second hook 103, fastener 104, and movable hook 105, simplifying the operation of the snake-shaped curtain 2 and reducing costs.

[0017] Furthermore, it eliminates the need for expensive rails specifically designed for snake-shaped curtains, thus promoting their widespread adoption. In addition, the hook body 1, fixing rod 101, first hook 102, and second hook 103 form an "X" shape, making it easier to position (form pleats) the snake-shaped curtain.

[0018] Furthermore, the distance between the outer walls of the first hook 102 at the upper end and the second hook 103 at the lower end of the fixing rods 101 on both sides is 35 mm, so that when the curtain 2 is unfolded as shown in Figure 3, a perfect distribution of snake-like pleats is achieved. In addition, the outer wall of the fastener 104 is inclined downward in a stepped shape, making it easy to position the movable hook 105 in the height direction. Moreover, one end of the movable hook 105 is hook-shaped, and the other end is provided with a stepped slope corresponding to the fastener 104, so that the movable hook 105 can be positioned at different heights.

[0019] As shown in Figure 3, the curtain tape 3 is sewn to the upper end of the curtain 2 in the left-right direction. When using the curtain hooks 100, first the first hook 102 and the second hook 103 are positioned to align with multiple pockets 3a provided at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction on the upper and lower rows of the curtain tape 3, and then the first hook 102 and the second hook 103 are inserted into each pocket 3a from bottom to top.

[0020] This allows the hook body 1 to be attached to the curtain tape 3. Meanwhile, the hook-shaped tip of the movable hook 105 is engaged with a pulley that is movably installed within the curtain rail.

[0021] As a result, when the curtain 2 is deployed along the curtain rail as shown in Fig. 3, a perfect distribution of serpentine pleats is achieved in the shape of the curtain 2. Then, according to the required height, the movable hook 105 is fixed at different heights with respect to the fastener 104, thereby connecting the movable hook 105 to the curtain rail, enabling installation at different heights and expanding the scope of application.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, terms indicating orientations and positional relationships such as "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", etc. are based on the orientations and positional relationships shown in the drawings and are merely for the purpose of explaining the present invention. These terms do not imply that the device or component is in a specific orientation or requires a specific structure or operation, nor do they limit the present invention.
