Definitions

  • This invention concerns curtain pleating tapes, that is to say tapes intended for sewing into or incorporated into the head margins of curtains to enable the curtains to be caused to assume a pleated configuration.
  • curtain pleating tapes which produce so-called pencil pleating are already known.
  • Such pencil pleating comprises regular, closely adjacent pleats along the entire length of the tape and curtain head margin attached thereto.
  • One known form of tape which produces pencil pleats embodies draw cords which pass from one side to the other of the tape at regular intervals so that short lengths of the draw cord float over the adjacent surface of the tape alternately at one side and then the other. Shortening of the draw cord causes successive portions of the tape (and the curtain head margin secured thereto) to be deflected alternately to one side and then the other of the line of the cords to achieve the pencil pleating with a median plane through the pleats and the pleating cords generally coincident with the non-pleated part of the curtain.
  • a curtain pleating tape which embodies draw cords which appear and float at pre-determined intervals at one side of the tape only, the cords being incorporated into the tape, between.the floating portions thereof, for example by being accommodated in respective tunnels woven integrally into the tape.
  • the tape, and the curtain's head margin 'is caused to deflect to one side only of the general plane of the tape in register with the floating parts of the draw cords thereby to produce the pencil pleats, which project to one side only of the general plane of the fabric.
  • Tapes are also known which produce so-called french pleating which comprises alternate pleated sections and non-pleated or substantially linear sections along the length of the curtain pleating tape and curtain head margin attached thereto.
  • the pleats normally project only to one side of. the general plane of the fabric.
  • curtain pleating tape which on shortening of its draw cords produces french pleats in the tape and the curtain head margin attached thereto usually has draw cords which appear on one side only of the tape in spaced apart groups of floating portions, the non-floating portions being incorporated into the tape, for example by being accommodated in respective tunnels woven integrally into the tape.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a construction of curtain pleating tape which enables the user to create either type of pleat selectively at will, so that only one type of tape needs to be provided for either, purpose and the user can, also, if desired, change a curtain from one type of pleat to the other.
  • the present invention provides a curtain pleating tape comprising a woven, knit or crochet band having at intervals therealong hook-receiving pockets or openings, characterised in that the band incorporates first draw cord means (which may comprise a single draw cord or plural cords) which serve, upon shortening, to form the band into pencil pleats along its entire length, as well as second draw cord means which serve, upon'shortening to form french pleats, that is to say single pleats, or groups of pleats, at spaced-apart intervals along the length of the band.
  • first draw cord means which may comprise a single draw cord or plural cords
  • second draw cord means which serve, upon'shortening to form french pleats, that is to say single pleats, or groups of pleats, at spaced-apart intervals along the length of the band.
  • the said other pair of draw cords serves to form the french pleats in groups of three, being a so-called "triple-pleat" tape.
  • one of said cord means is preferably distinguished from the other by its visual appearance. This may be achieved, for example, by making one of said cord means substantially the same colour as the rest of the band, whilst the other cord means may be of a different colour or may comprise strands of two or more different colours twisted together.
  • the first embodiment of the curtain pleating tape 10 of the invention as shown in Figures 1 to 3 of the drawings comprises a relatively broad band of fabric being, for example, of the order of 7.5 cm in width. It is woven with synthetic yarns, the warps being relatively soft multi-filament yarns, e.g. of nylon, and the weft being of a monofilament yarn inserted from one side of the fabric and anchored by a selvage thread along the opposite edge of the fabric.
  • the use of the monofilament weft provides for the tape to be stiffer in its transverse direction, and will, in use, contribute to the stiffness of the head margin of a curtain (not shown) to which it is attached as will be described later.
  • integrally-woven hook-receiving pockets 11, 12, 13 are disposed in rows of three transversely of the tape so that the user can select between the three pockets 11, 12, 13 in each row when fitting curtain suspension hooks (not shown) therein according to the height at which the attached curtain is required to be hung.
  • the pockets 11, 13 are open at their ends and are formed of warp and weft threads in substantially the same arrangement as the remainder of the tape 10, while each centrally located pocket 12 is formed of floating sections of warp thread only.
  • First draw cord means comprise first draw cords 14 which are incorporated into the tape at a short spacing away from each longitudinal edge of the tape 10. Each such first draw cord 14 appears alternately at one side and then the other of the tape 10 over regular intervals, e.g. of the order of 1.5 cm each. These first draw cords 14 are, for example, of nylon of the same colour as the rest of the tape 10.
  • Second draw cord means comprise second draw cords 15 which are accommodated within respective integral draw-cord receiving tunnels 17, each of the said tunnels 17 being located respectively adjacent one of the first draw-cords 14.
  • the second draw cords 15 appear on one side only of the tape 10 in spaced-apart groups of floating portions 16, its non-floating portions being accommodated in the respective tunnels 17.
  • These second draw cords 15 are coloured to enable them readily to be distinguished from the first draw cords 14 by being composed of threads of different colours twisted together.
  • start marks 18 are incorporated. These marks may be woven into the tape 10, for example in a contrasting colour, and serve to assist curtain makers in ascertaining where to cut the tape 10 to ensure that they begin with a short section of tape 10 which will not produce pleats in the edges of the curtain.
  • the tape 10 is secured in place along the head margin of a curtain incconventional manner simply by sewing closely adjacent to each edge of the tape 10.
  • the tape 10 is laterally stiffened by its weft being of relatively stiff monofilamentary material, so it serves to provide a practical degree of stiffness for the head margin of the curtain.
  • the draw cords 14, 15 are anchored at one end, for example by tying them together, and the first pair 14 or the-second pair 15 of said cords is shortened according to the kind of pleats it is desired to produce. If the user requires the head margin to be drawn into pencil pleats as shown in Fig. 2 across the entire curtain width, this is achieved by shortening the first pair of draw cords 14, the second pair 15 being left unshortened. If on the other hand, triple pinch pleats or french pleats are required at spaced intervals across the head margin of the curtain as shown in Fig. 3, the first pair of draw cords 14 is left alone and the cords of the second pair 15 are appropriately shortened.
  • the first draw cords 14 are incorporated in such a way that each appears or floats at regular intervals at one side only of the tape 10, the cord portions therebetween being disposed within the thickness of the tape 10 for example being accommodated in respective tunnels woven integrally into the tape 10 and not appearing at the other side.
  • pencil pleats are produced along the entire length of the tape (and of the curtain to which it is secured), in substantially the same way as shown in Fig. 2.
  • first draw cord means, the second draw cord means, or both comprise several draw cords arranged substantially parallel lengthwise of the tape 10.
  • the tape 10 instead of incorporating spaced-apart hook-receiving pockets, is woven, knit or crocheted in such a way as to incorporate; at appropriate intervals, openings 17 for receiving curtain suspension hooks.
