Definitions
- the invention relates to a hooking device for fixing an edge of a sheet to a bar or rod extending opposite said edge, this device comprising an elongated part of which a first end region is shaped so as to overlap the bar by pressing on it in the direction of said edge and of which a second end region, opposite to the first, is capable of crossing said edge in its thickness.
- tablette here designates any object extended on the surface and of relatively small thickness, flexible or rigid, such as a piece of woven or non-woven fabric, a sheet, a plate or a panel of any kind.
- Such devices are used in particular for hanging curtains, for example window or shower curtains.
- the two end regions of the elongated part are shaped into hooks, and the edge of a hole in the curtain for the passage of the hook of the second end region rests on that - this.
- These devices are unsightly.
- the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, while retaining a structure and simple handling of the attachment devices.
- the invention relates in particular to a device of the kind defined in the introduction, and provides that said second end region is in the form of a threaded rod and that the device further comprises two cups pierced in their center for the axial passage of the threaded rod, at least a first of said cups being able to be screwed onto the threaded rod and retaining means being provided for retaining the second cup when the first cup is screwed towards it so as to allow the immobilization of the sheet by clamping between the two cups in an area at least partially surrounding the rod.
- the second cup is also suitable for screwing onto the threaded rod, said retaining means being constituted by the cooperating threads of the second cup and of the rod.
- the cups are suitable for clamping the web between them in an annular zone completely surrounding the rod.
- the cups and said annular zone have forms of revolution substantially around the axis of the rod.
- the faces turned towards one another of the two cups have recesses suitable for accommodating an eyelet mounted on the sheet and the central opening of which is crossed by the threaded rod.
- Figure 1 is a front view of a device according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a side view of the elongated part.
- Figure 3 is a side view of the device mounted on a curtain and hung on a rod.
- Figure 4 is a partial sectional view of the device mounted on a curtain.
- Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4, the curtain being provided with an eyelet.
- the illustrated device comprises an elongated element 1 in the form of a metal rod of circular section.
- the rod 1 is shaped according to the general shape of an S, its upper end region 2 constituting a clean hook to overlap the rod 3 to support it vertically, and its lower end region 4, substantially rectilinear and horizontal , being threaded.
- the two cups can thus be screwed on part 4, their concavities being turned towards each other, as shown in Figures 3 to 5.
- the peripheral edge of each cup has an annular surface 8 located in a plane perpendicular to the axis A of the rod 4 and cups.
- the surfaces 8 can come to bear on either side of the upper edge 9 of a curtain, also threaded on the rod 4 by means of a through hole 10 previously formed using a punch.
- the curtain By screwing the two cups towards each other, the curtain can be clamped between their respective bearing faces 8, thus ensuring stable support for the curtain without the risk of tearing it at the level of the hole 10.
- FIG. 5 shows that the device can also be used with a curtain already provided with an eyelet 20, the sides of the latter being housed in the cavities 11 existing between the faces of the curtain and the internal faces of the cups, due to the concave shape of the latter.
- the screwing of the two cups allows the bottom of the cup 6 to be aligned with the free end 12 of the threaded rod 4, preventing the latter from projecting outside the cup and thus further improving the aesthetics of the device. - tif.
- the outer cup instead of being identical to the inner cup, may have a blind threaded hole whose bottom abuts on the free end of the rod.
- the hook 2 can be replaced by a closed ring to be threaded through the end of the rod.
- the elongate element and the cups constituting the device according to the invention can be produced, independently of each other, of any suitable material.
- the device according to the invention can be used not only for hanging a curtain, but for fixing to a bar or rod any flexible tablecloth, for example a curtain or a tarpaulin, this tablecloth not necessarily hanging vertically but being able to extend in any direction, being stretched by forces exerted at points distant from the mounting area of the device.
- the sheet may also be rigid, for example in the form of a panel to be suspended under a bar or rod.
