Abstract

The device comprises two upper and two lower rail or string holding elements, made of a material which matches the material used for the window frame. The upper elements are of a rectangular shape and have a central vertically positioned bore for the insertion of a string, with a stop at both ends. The lower elements are also rectangular shaped and provided with a deep vertical groove. The string is inserted into the upper holding element, guided through a vertical positioned hem at the blind or netting and accommodated inside the groove at the lower element. The blind can be fixed at the required height with buttons, joined to the front of the upper elements.

Description

The invention relates to a construction for Attachment of textile window decorations on Window frames, the fabric from bottom to top to be led.

It is known that folding stores (often called Pleated blinds) are offered if express A version to close from bottom to top Window decorations is desired. At this Execution is, however, the application of an expense necessary, visually striking frame construction dig, which also has to be screwed tight, what damage to the window frames. In addition, for the substance even when fully unfolded over the entire Window area, an unmissable Pleated (pleated) structure.

The invention is based on the problem, a optically inconspicuous, easy to install Construction with the smallest possible, inconspicuous  To find mounting brackets, these also through Glue would be attached to a possible Avoid damaging the window frames. In addition, a solution for various substances, can be found shirred or falling smoothly to the at the pleated structure due to the construction avoid.

According to the invention this object is achieved in that four to be attached separately, small in size retaining fasteners (cuboids) are sufficient. This Cuboids can vary in shape and material, whereby e.g. B. for white plastic windows white plexiglass or other white plastics are recommended as these least noticeable optically. For metal windows appropriate metal versions (e.g. Polished brass / matt, polished nickel / matt, copper, Chrome-black, stainless steel). These can be made as desired can also be mounted on plastic or wooden windows. The attachment can be done by means of commercial, back stand removable double glue, or under With the help of screws or nails visual improvement per cuboid a veneer for Cover up the screw or nail heads would.

For the solution with the tensioning rope explained in claim 1, the upper cuboid must be drilled once from top to bottom along the center, and a guide device for the cable pulling device must be centered on the front to the width (see Fig. 2.1). The lower cuboid must have a narrow gap lengthwise from the front, down to the middle (see Fig. 2).

The rope is locked at the top and is passed through the hole in the upper cuboid, then determined on a length (by means of Tensioning device), which when inserting the rope  a tension in the gap of the lower cuboid generated. The tension is necessary to avoid that in the rope construction the ropes after winding of the fabric too much inwards, towards the window surface give in. The ropes can now be easily opened and closed Pull the fabric out of the lower catch undressed and pushed back into the gap the.

For the version explained in claim 2 with the rod pinned into the cuboid, the upper cuboid must have a deep, but not continuous, longitudinal bore into which the rod is inserted (see Fig. 3). Since this hole also serves the straight guidance and posture of the rod along the frame downwards, it is advisable to adjust them as tightly as possible to the circumference of the rod. In addition, a guide device for the cable pull is required in the center of the width on the front of the cuboid.

With this construction, the lower cuboid requires a notch in the longitudinal direction going from the front down to the middle, into which the rod can be inserted from the front. To ensure that the rod does not slide out downwards, this notch must not extend over the entire length (see Fig. 3).

In addition, it is necessary both visually and functionally (in order to prevent the rod from slipping out towards the front) by attaching a facing (see Fig. 3, 4). This can e.g. B. are held by magnets, which enables quick, easy assembly. (Particularly recommended, since it is desirable to simply remove the rods for cleaning the fabric to remove the fabric.)

With this solution, the fabric can be left and are pushed right onto the poles, after which the Just put the rods back in the designated ones  Notches are to be made in the cuboids.

There are a lot of people to work out the right fabrics wrinkled designs, briefly below two basic versions are explained.

The simplest and cheapest solution is a fabric panel with a drawstring left and right, through the rope or rod. This compresses the fabric as far down as possible together over the lower cuboids, being close to the Window frame remains attached.

The second solution (especially for larger windows) would be a fabric sheet, on the back of which small rings have to be attached at regular intervals, through which the rope or rod is passed. For the lowered fabric, this results in a wave-like appearance and superimposition on the front, as is known from various roller blinds (see Fig. 4).

In addition, an additional attachment would be more horizontal Metal or wooden strips imaginable, both of these serve stiff fabrics completely when lowered to press down, as well as at greater distances to keep the fabric pulled up smooth.

The rail needed at the top of the fabric to Keeping the fabric smooth and weighing it down can be a problem fold metal rod, which is replaced by another Drawstring is pushed into the fabric.

Alternatively, a clamping bar would have to be pulled onto the ropes or rods into which the fabric is clamped (see Fig. 5).

The fabric comes with simple, familiar Pulling devices pulled up with either Alligator clips on the fabric or directly on be attached to the terminal block and for that provided cable pull device on the upper cuboids  be performed.

The advantages achieved by the invention are briefly numbered below:

• 1. The brackets to be attached to the window frame can be kept small and visually very inconspicuous become.
• 2. The brackets can be glued and therefore residue-free be replaced again.
• 3. Assembly of the actual construction, as well as on and Peeling off the fabric is extremely straightforward, what z. B. with regard to regular cleaning of decisive advantage is.
• 4. Different materials can be used, and these can also be smooth or on request various types can be gathered.
• 5. The windows can be both raised and also open unhindered fabric or incline, the fabric always tight when unaffected lies against the window.

This type of decorating to shield the Window from the bottom up offers among the few for this problem offers available on the market an alternative, the large scope for attachment and fabric range leaves, creating a wide range Customer requests can be covered.

Claims (2)

1. Construction for fastening and guiding textile window decorations on the inside of the window frame, characterized in that a cuboid is attached to the window sashes on the window sashes above and below. Through this cuboid, a rope (preferably transparent perlon rope) is stretched on each side, onto which the fabric is pulled on both sides. By pulling up or lowering the fabric is always up and down on the ropes along the left and right.
So that the fabric between the two guide ropes does not sag, but receives a straight end and collapses accordingly using gravity when lowering, it is brought up at the upper end to insert a metal rod into a sewn-in drawstring.
As a variation, a metal rail can be pulled onto the guide ropes, into which the fabric is clamped.
The required four cuboids per window can be glued to plastic and metal windows, which means that the window frames remain undamaged. If this aspect is irrelevant, the cuboids can also be screwed on or nailed on (recommended for wooden windows anyway). 2. Construction for fastening and guiding textile window decorations on the window frame according to claim 1, characterized in that rods (preferably made of metal) are inserted between the cuboids on both sides of the window sash.
The fabric is then threaded left and right onto the rods, and pulled up or down along them.
The additional attachment of a metal rod or rail for guidance at the upper end of the fabric is necessary as explained in claim 1.
With this version, too, the 4 cuboids required can be glued, screwed or nailed per window.
This more stable construction (since the load created by the rope to be tensioned is eliminated) is particularly recommended for larger window areas.
