The invention relates to a curtain rail with a lateral longitudinal slot for the slide hangers and a cord reel housing that can be slipped onto the end of the rail.

In the case of the known curtain rails of this type, it is not the case when the cord reel housing is attached possible to add or remove slide hangers. Do you want the number of sliding hangers change, e.g. to get a different drapery, or because another curtain fabric to be attached makes this necessary, the curtain rail is to be removed from its holder and Pull off the line roller housing from the end of the rail to reveal the longitudinal slot. In the same awkward way must be dealt with if a slide hanger is damaged or out other reasons must be replaced.

The object of the invention is to create a curtain rail that makes it possible, even after installation Add hanger.

This object is achieved in that a locking member is movably arranged on the cord reel housing is, which is provided with its handle end in one position between a longitudinal slot and a housing wall Opening blocked, but in another position the opening for insertion and removal the slide hanger releases. Here only the locking member needs to be actuated to reach the end of the slot to free things from the rails easily and without special attention by any layperson can be executed.

It is particularly useful if the locking member is a pivotable locking lever, the free end of the handle blocks the opening in the lower pivot position, but releases it in the upper pivot position. This The locking lever is in its normal position determined by the gravity in the locking position, so that not the risk of accidentally releasing the opening for inserting or removing the hangers consists.

This effect can be increased by the fact that the free end of the handle of the locking lever in his lower pivot position is below the pivot axis of the locking lever and to form a stop for the adjacent sliding hanger is located at the side of the curtain rail. In In this case, the locking lever is not only due to its weight but also due to the neighboring hanger pressed into the locked position when it comes to rest against the lever.

The pivot axis of the locking lever can extend the axis of the longitudinal slot in the Ge curtain rail with a lateral longitudinal slot
for the slide hangers
