Abstract:
A hanger includes an elongated member having a rod with a plurality of positioning portions spaced in a vertical direction. An engaging portion is formed on a bottom of the rod for engaging with an engagement portion. A coupling block includes a connecting head. The coupling block further includes a body and a resilient plate that are located below the connecting head. The body and the resilient plate together define a passageway having an opening in a lower end thereof. The rod is slideable in the passageway in the vertical direction. The resilient plate includes a free end having a hook that is spaced from the body. At least a portion of the hook extends into the passageway. The hook is releasably engaged with a selected one of the positioning portions. The resilient plate is operable to disengage the hook from the positioning portions.
Abstract:
A pleated roller shade system allows a thin flexible shade fabric, such as, for example, silk, to be wrapped around a roller tube. The system comprises a pleating bar mounted parallel to the roller tube and having a fabric-receiving opening that defines, for example, a serpentine path. The shade fabric is received through the fabric-receiving opening and is folded by the pleating bar, such that the shade fabric is wrapped around the roller tube in folds as the roller tube rotates. The shade fabric is neatly wrapped around the roller tube (i.e., bunching of the shade fabric is avoided) and is stored out-of-sight when rolled up.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus, for pleating curtains and pleated curtains using the apparatus, are described. The apparatus may be provided as a parts kit which includes a stiffener, pleat-forming members, and fasteners. The stiffener is attached to a curtain and bent into a series of pleat-shaped formations. The pleat-forming members and fasteners are used to hold the stiffener and support the curtain, forming the created pleats in place. The curtain may then be hung on a curtain rod by a separate hanging element which couples the pleat-forming members to a curtain rod. The hanging element may form an integral part of the pleat-forming member.

Abstract:
Composite curtains comprising a plurality of rows of pleats configured on top portions of each curtain, moreover, a plurality of curtain hooks is configured on top portions of the pleats. The present invention is characterized in that corresponding fastening members are sewn on a front side and a reverse side of two side edges of each of the curtains respectively, thus enabling the curtains to be joined together to form an appropriate width by means of the fastening members, and thereby suitably shading split widths of a window.
Abstract:
A device to make and keep natural waved pleats for a drapery is comprised of a long thin flexible matter and some linkups. The long flexible matter may be a chain, and it may be a rope too, etc, and a linkup may be a keyring, a buckle or a tie, etc. The linkup may be fixed at any position of the long flexible matter. Generally, the drapery is comprised of a fabric, hooks, slide matters and a rod. The fabric is hanged into the slide matters with the hooks, and the slide matters can slide along the rod. So, we can draw the drapery by moving the slide matters. If we arrange the slide matters at equal interval along the rod and join the long flexible matter to the slide matters with the linkups correspondingly, and the equal interval between the slide matters be controlled by the device. With the device, the drapery with wider fabric than the rod should not become plane, but lively and finished with the natural waved pleats. Also, we can adjust position of the linkups along the long flexible matter to fit any size of window and many types of the drapery. Further, we can easier do a nice drapery by ourselves only hemming a piece of rectangle fabric without pleating with a pleating machine, and said device will help us make and keep the natural waved pleats.
Abstract:
A combination-type curtain hook is disclosed. A combination-type curtain hook having a stitching strap and a moving hook, characterized in that the stitching strap includes a stitching piece having one side being mounted with a plurality of protruded blocks being spaced apart to form a sliding rail, and the other side of the stitching piece is stitched to the folded flap of a curtain, and the moving hook including a pair of protruded arms at one side thereof is engageable with the protruded block and the protruded arms are positioned at the gap formed between each neighboring protruded blocks, thereby the sliding hook slides up and down along the protruded blocks, achieving the positioning and height adjustment of the curtain.
Abstract:
A drapery system comprising, in combination, an elongated track; a carrier slidably attached to the track, the carrier having a snap member; a connector including a body member, an arm member attached to the body member, and a snap member attached to the arm member thereof and removably secured to the snap member of the carrier; and a drapery panel including an upper end attached to the body member of the connector.
Abstract:
A curtain hook comprises a plastic strip (41) and an I-section (42, 43, 44) which is integral therewith and in which the flange (42) facing the strip is provided with at least one sawtooth profile (48), while the other flange (43) is a guide for a runner (45) which grips around it, and to which a hook-shaped element (46) is connected. The runner has at least one projection (47) which engages in the sawtooth profile (48) in order to prevent the runner from being moved in a certain direction, while movement of the runner in the opposite direction is still possible. In order to simplify sewing of the curtain hook into a curtain pleat by machine, the abovementioned other flange (43) of the I-section is narrower than a flange (42) facing the strip.
Abstract:
A molded curtain attachment connector for connecting a curtain hanger member and the top edge of a curtain includes a fastener member having a fastener surface releasably engageable with the fastener surface of a surface-type separable fastener member attached to the curtain along a top edge thereof, a hook member integrally formed with the fastener member and adapted to be attached to, and detached from, the curtain hanger member, and a blocking means disposed at the opening of the hook member for preventing another article from entering the hook member through the opening, the blocking means being deformable toward the inside of the hook member when subjected to an external force of a predetermined intensity. The molded curtain attachment connector thus constructed can be manufactured with high production efficiency, facilitates the curtain attaching/detaching operation, ensures smooth opening and closing operation of the curtain, and can be colored in various manners.
