Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1) Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a two-piece curtain, which
includes an upper beam, a front curtain cloth and a rear curtain
cloth which are separately bonded on or taken apart from the front
side and rear side of the upper beam by using a self-bonding means.
Plural clamping sheets are provided between the front and the rear
curtain clothes for their moving together. Thus the both curtain
clothes are either moved up/gathered together or moved/hanged down
at the same time by pulling or releasing a lanyard.
[0003] 2) Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Nowadays, the purpose of a curtain is to provide sunshade
and privacy functions. As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional curtain
10 (Roman type curtain) comprises an upper beam 11 and a curtain
cloth 12 which is connected and fixed with a bottom part of the
upper beam 11. One end of the upper beam 11 is connected with a
lanyard-actuating element 13. The lanyard-actuating element 13 is
useful for passing a lanyard 14 through therein and a pendent end
of the lanyard 14 is outside of the curtain cloth 12 for being
pulled by a user. Plural transverse sections 15 are sewing sutured
on the curtain cloth 12 at equal distance. Two holes 16, 16 are
provided in each sewing sutured part of the transverse sections 15
for passing the other end of the lanyard 14 through therein and
fixing it on the bottom holes 16. Therefore the curtain cloth 12
could be moved up or down by pulling or releasing the lanyard
14.
[0005] Since the curtain cloth 12 will be dirty after using for a
long time, it is necessary to take apart the curtain cloth from the
upper beam and be washing. During this washing period, it can not
provide sunshade and privacy functions. Conventionally, curtain
cloth 12 is decided by a user to select its color, pattern or
design that favored. Also, a curtain cloth is generally a one-piece
cloth hanging on the upper beam 11. Thus, such a conventional
curtain lacks of variation and does not conform to the modern
requirement for seeking variation.
[0006] Under the above circumstances, the present inventors have
solved the above disadvantages by the two-piece curtain of the
present invention.
[0007] The first object of the present invention is to provide a
two-piece curtain which comprises an upper beam, a front curtain
cloth and a rear curtain cloth being separately bonded on or taken
apart from the front side and rear side of the upper beam by using
a self-bonding means. Plural clamping sheets are provided between
the front and the rear curtain clothes for their moving together.
Thus the both curtain clothes are either moved up/gathered together
or moved/hanged down at the same time by pulling or releasing a
lanyard.
[0008] The other object of the present invention is to provide a
two-piece curtain in which a front curtain clothes and a rear
curtain clothes are separately bonded on or taken apart from the
front side and rear side of the upper beam by using a self-bonding
means. Therefore the upper beam is provided with a front curtain
clothes and a rear curtain clothes at its front and rear sides to
increase utility and variation.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Roman type curtain.
[0010] FIG. 2 shows a three-dimension picture of the two-piece
curtain according to the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 3 shows an explosion view of the two-piece curtain
according to the present invention.
[0012] FIG. 4 shows a three-dimension picture of the two-piece
curtain according to the present invention in which the front
curtain clothes is separated from the upper beam.
[0013] FIG. 5 shows a three-dimension picture of the two-piece
curtain according to the present invention in which the front and
rear curtain clothes are both moved up and gathered together.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0014] Please refer to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the two-piece curtain of
the present invention comprises an upper beam 20 on which two
hangers 21, 21 are provided for hanging the upper beam 20 on a
window flame. A front curtain clothes and a rear curtain clothes
30, 30 are separately bonded the upper beam 20 by using a
self-bonding means 40 and plural clamping sheets 50 are provided
between the front and the rear curtain clothes 30, 30 for their
moving together.
[0015] The upper beam 20 is provided with a lanyard-actuating
element 22 at bottom for passing two lanyards 23, 23 through
therein and its one end hangs down for being pulled by a user. The
upper beam 20 is provided with two hooks 24, 24 at bottom for
passing the other end of the lanyard 23 through therein and hangs
down.
[0016] The front and the rear curtain clothes 30, 30 are sewing
sutured to form plural transverse sections 31 and connection parts
32. A rigid article is inserted into the connection part 32 so that
the connection part 32 becomes rigid. The front and the rear
curtain clothes 30, 30 are the same or different in color, pattern
or design according to the user's favorite to attain various
utility and variation.
[0017] The self-bonding means 40 comprises a hook tape layer 41 and
a loop tape layer 42. The hook taper layer 41 is bonded on the
front and rear sides of the upper beam 20 and the loop tape layer
42 is bonded on the top end of the front and rear curtain clothes
30. Therefore the front and rear curtain clothes 30 could be bonded
on the upper beam 20 by pressing the loop tape layer 42 on the hook
taper layer 41. Further, if a pulling force is applied on either
the loop tape layer 42 or the hook tape layer 41, the curtain
clothes 30 will be separated/peeled from the upper beam 20.
[0018] The clamping sheets 50 comprise a intermediate part 51, a
hole 52 on the intermediate connection part 51 for passing the
lanyard 23 through therein, and a clamping tank 53 for inserting
the connection parts 32 of the transverse sections 31 into the
clamping tank 53. The hole 52 is also used for fixing one end of
the lanyard on the lowest clamping sheet thereby the plural
clamping sheets 50 are moved up or down by pulling or releasing the
lanyard. Between the front and the rear curtain clothes 30, 30,
there are plural clamping sheets 50. Therefore the both curtain
clothes 30, 30 are moved up and gathered together by pulling the
lanyard 23 (as shown in FIG. 5) and the both curtain clothes 30, 30
are moved and hanged down by releasing the lanyard 23 (as shown in
FIG. 2).
[0019] In summary, the two-piece curtain of the present invention
is characterized that the front and rear curtain clothes 30,30 are
bonded on or taken apart from the upper beam 20 by using a
self-bonding means 40. Also, plural clamping sheets 50 are provided
between the front and the rear curtain clothes 30, 30 for their
moving together. Thus the both curtain clothes 30,30 are either
moved up/gathered together or moved/hanged down at the same time by
pulling or releasing the lanyard 23.
[0020] Although the present invention has been described by the
above embodiment, the present invention is not limited by the
embodiment. Person skilled in the art would make various changes or
modification without departing from the spirit and the scope of the
present invention. The present invention is only limited by the
appended claims.
