Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Object of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a pleated curtain that is hung and supported near a window.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as one type of curtain, there is a pleated curtain that can be raised and lowered by folding the curtain fabric multiple times in the horizontal direction. In this pleated curtain, a lifting cord passes through the center of each folded portion, and the lower end of the lifting cord is attached to the lower end of the curtain material. The curtain fabric can be raised and lowered by raising and lowering the lifting cord.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, the conventional pleated curtains described above use curtain fabric made of a predetermined material in order to ensure the durability of the insertion holes for inserting the lifting cords. The curtains were assembled in a similar manner, and the customer could not change the curtain material arbitrarily. That is, when a consumer attempts to form an insertion hole in a desired curtain fabric, the area around the insertion hole tends to fray, and also, during use, the area around the insertion hole rubs against the lifting cord and tends to fray. An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method that allows a consumer to easily manufacture pleated curtains using any desired curtain material.

Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a curtain fabric 2 in which a reinforcing tape 4 is pasted at a position where an insertion hole 5 for inserting a lifting cord 6 is formed in a zigzag pattern. Fold the curtain fabric 2 into a shape, and punch an insertion hole 5 in the center of the folded width of the curtain fabric 2 with a drill 16.
The lifting cord 6 was inserted through the

(Function) With the above means, the insertion holes 5 are formed without fraying the curtain material 2, and the aesthetic appearance of the pleated curtain is ensured.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.As shown in FIG. A ground 2 is suspended and supported from a head box 3. A transparent reinforcing tape 4 made of nylon, polyester, etc. is attached to both left and right sides of the curtain fabric 2, and an insertion hole 5 is provided on the reinforcing tape 4 at the center of each folded portion of the curtain fabric 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a transparent lifting cord 6 is inserted into each insertion hole 5 so as to vertically penetrate the curtain material 2 hanging in a zigzag shape from the head box 3, and the upper end of the lifting cord 6 is inserted into each insertion hole 5. is wound around a winding shaft (not shown) in the head box 3, and its lower end is connected to the bottom rail 7. Incidentally, the lower end of the curtain fabric 2 is also connected to the bottom rail 7 by a simple means such as pinching.

A pulley 8 for rotationally driving the winding shaft is supported on one side of the head box 3, and an endless operation cord 9 is hung from the pulley 8. Therefore, by operating the operation cord 9, the winding shaft can be rotationally driven through the pulley 8, and the bottom rail 7 is raised and lowered through the lifting cord 6 based on the rotation of the winding shaft. The curtain fabric 2 is expanded and contracted to be raised and lowered.

Next, to explain the manufacturing procedure of the pleated curtain constructed as above, as shown in FIG. A reinforcing tape 4 is attached and creases are made so that the curtain fabric 2 can be folded vertically in a zigzag shape. The reinforcing tape 4 is coated with a hot-melt adhesive made of vinyl chloride, polyamide, polyethylene, polyurethane, etc., and can be attached using an iron or the like. In order to form the insertion hole 5, a support 10 and a presser frame 1 shown in FIG.
Use 1. That is, in the support 10, the lower parts of a pair of side plates 12 located at an interval substantially equal to the folded width of the curtain fabric 2 are connected by a bottom plate 13,
A long hole 14 is formed in the bottom plate 13 along the longitudinal direction. The presser frame 11 is formed into a rectangular tube shape with a width that allows it to be inserted between the side plates 12, and a plurality of through holes 15 are provided in the center along the longitudinal direction, passing through the rectangular tube vertically.

The procedure for using such a support 10 and presser frame 11 is as shown in FIG.
In this state, hold the curtain fabric 2 with the holding frame 11, align one of the through holes 15 with the part where the reinforcing tape 4 is attached, and insert the bottom plate 13 of the support 10 through the through hole 15. By passing the drill hole 16 through the elongated hole 14, an insertion hole 5 is formed at the center of each folded portion of the curtain fabric 2 at the portion where the reinforcing tape 4 is attached. After inserting the lifting cord 6 into the insertion hole 5 using a needle or the like, the upper end of the lifting cord 6 is attached to the winding shaft in the head box 3, the lower end is connected to the bottom rail 7, and the curtain fabric is The pleated curtain 1 can be assembled by attaching the upper end of the pleated curtain 2 to the head box 3 and the lower end to the bottom rail 7.

Since the pleated curtain 1 constructed as described above has the reinforcing tape 4 pasted in advance at the position where the insertion hole 5 is to be formed at the time of manufacturing, the reinforcement tape 4 is pasted in advance at the position where the insertion hole 5 is to be formed. Even if the periphery of the insertion hole 5 rubs against the lifting cord 6, the area around the insertion hole 5 will not fray, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and the reinforcing tape 4 can be attached very easily with an iron or the like. Therefore, the user can select and create the curtain material 2 from any desired material, and the curtain material 2 can be easily created using the support 10 and the presser frame 11 according to the procedure described above.

In addition, since the reinforcing tape 4 and the lifting cord 6 are both transparent, even when the pleated curtain 1 is lowered, the reinforcing tape 4 and the lifting cord 6 blend into the color of the curtain fabric 2 and are not noticeable, so the pleated curtain The aesthetic appearance of item 1 can be improved.

Effects of the Invention As detailed above, according to the present invention, even if the user of the pleated curtain 1 creates the curtain fabric 2 using any material, the lifting cord insertion hole 5 can be formed without fraying, resulting in an excellent appearance. This provides an excellent effect in that the pleated curtain 1 can be easily assembled.
