[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Unlike fusuma and shoji,
In the case of a panel type curtain without a threshold, if it is used as a partition, there will be a gap between the bottom edge of the curtain material and the floor surface, and it will not be possible to prevent winter drafts. , The lower edge of the curtain material is easily rubbed against the floor surface when the door is opened or closed. Even if the curtain fabric is tailored so that there is no gap between the lower edge and the floor surface, the curtain fabric may shrink due to washing to create a gap, and the lower edge may rub against the floor surface and become worn. If the curtain material is tailored so that there will not be any, there will be a large gap between the bottom edge and the floor surface due to shrinkage due to washing.

[0004] Various curtain materials having different lengths depending on the height of the ceiling are arranged so that the clearance between the lower edge and the floor surface is uniform, which complicates the tailoring process and increases inventory. Panel type curtain becomes expensive.

In addition, as in the case of fusuma sliding doors and shoji screens, the panel type curtain is moved to open the openings of the building such as windows and terraces (hereinafter simply referred to as the openings of the building). Even if it is opened, the moved panel type curtain is suspended in parallel with the opening, so the entire surface of the room from the right and left corner posts to the corner posts is entirely covered with glass such as windows and terraces. It is not possible to completely open all the opening surfaces that are openings.

[0006]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the length dimension can be adjusted at any time according to the height of the ceiling, and it can be used as a partition to prevent draft from the bottom edge in winter and the floor surface. When the opening of the suspended building is opened, the curtain material disappears from the field of view, and it is an object of the present invention to obtain a panel-type curtain that can be completely opened even on the entire opening face covered with glass.
