Abstract

THE PRESENT INVENTION CONCERNS A CURTAIN ROD INCLUDING A BAR ON WHICH RINGS SLIDE TO WHICH THE CURTAIN IS HANGED. THIS CURTAIN ROD IS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT IT IS DRILLED WITH TRANSVERSE HOLES 8 INTENDED TO BE CROSSED BY VERTICAL FIXING SCREWS 7 SCREWED INTO THE CEILING 6 AND BETWEEN THE BAR AND THE CEILING IS INTERPOSED AT LEAST ONE SPACER 5 CROSSED BY THE FIXING SCREWS 7 AND NOW THE BAR REMOVE FROM THE CEILING 6.

Description

The present invention relates to a curtain rod on the

  slide rings to which is suspended the curtain.

  The traditional wooden rods are hitherto fixed above the windows or other openings by means of supports such as pegs driven into the upper part of the wall. Such a mounting method is not always easy to install. especially when there is little space between the top of a window and the ceiling or even

  when a blind box is provided at the top of the window.

  Moreover, in the case of wide bays, it is necessary to

  provide a central support which requires to install a curtain with double pan.

  The present invention aims to remedy these various drawbacks.

  thanks to the provision of a rod of a new structure and

  simple and very convenient to set up.

  For this purpose, this curtain rod comprising a bar on

  the rings on which the curtain hangs, is

  characterized in that it is pierced with transverse holes intended to be tmmeis by vertical fixing screws screwing into the ceiling and

  between the bar and the ceiling is interposed at least one transverse spacer

  poured by the fixing screws and now the bar spread from the ceiling.

  According to a complementary feature of the invention,

  the spacer is constituted by a continuous longitudinal rib extending

  along the bar and taking support under the ceiling and each of the sliding rings is interrupted over a portion of its circumference so that the two end faces facing this ring are

  placed on either side of the rib of the bar.

  According to an alternative embodiment, the spacer maintaining the bar spaced from the ceiling is constituted by nipples interposed between the bar and the ceiling, in the vicinity of its ends, these nipples themselves being pierced with holes through which pass the screws.

fixation.

  The curtain rod according to the invention comprises sections

  rectilinear lengths of great length, butts or curved portions extending at an angle of 90 or different allowing returns,

  and sections of short length that can be added to the previous ones.

  The curtain rod according to the invention has the advantage that, because it is fixed to the ceiling and not to the wall, it does not require a central support in the case where it is mounted above a bay wide This rod can then wear a curtain pan single. Moreover, it allows the opening of windows even in

  the case where there is little space between the top of a window and the ceiling.

  It can also be used in case a blind boot is in place. The combination of rectilinear sections and curved sections, fixed to the ceiling, makes it possible to achieve decorative effects by means of the

curtain hanging on the rod.

  The following will be described, by way of non-limiting examples, di-

  Embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is an elevational view of a curtain rod

  provided with a butt, fixed to the ceiling, according to the invention.

  Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view, with larger

  scale, made along the line II-II of Figure 1.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view, to a larger view

  scale, made along the line III-III of Figure 1.

  FIG. 4 is a partial plan view of the rod

  curtain comprising a butt and a short end section.

  Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view made according to

the line V-V of FIG.

  FIG. 6 is an elevational view, partly in section,

  end of an embodiment of the rod.

  The curtain rod according to the invention comprises a bar 1 of circular cross-section, elliptical or otherwise, preferably made

  This bar 1 is part of a rectilinear / long length section

  extending over a window, a curved section 3 or "butt" 1, extending along an arc of 90, and a straight section of

short length 4.

  The bar 1 of each of the sections 2, 3 and 4 presents, on its

  upper face, a longitudinal rib 5 of square cross-section, recess

  taigular or otherwise, by which the bar is applied under the ceiling 6.

  The various sections 2, 3, 4 of the following curtain rod

  the invention are fixed by means of screws 7 which pass through transverse holes

  8 verses pierced through the bar 1 and the rib 5, as can be seen better in Figure 3 Therefore, the bar 1 is

  located at the ceiling 6, at a certain distance from it, this

  a ratio being determined by the rib 5 forming a spacer.

  On the bar 1 slide rings 9 whose circumference

  ence is interrupted and left between the end faces 10 and

  He of these rings a gap greater than the thickness of the rib 5.

  These rings are engaged on the various bead sections 2, 3, 4 so that they can slide on the lower bar 1 and their end faces 10 and 11 opposite are placed on either side of the rib 5, as it is better to see it in FIG. 3 The ring 12 which is located at the end of the row of sliding rings and which must be immobilized with respect to the rod is totally circular to it,

  as indicated for the ring 12 in FIG. 2 This ring is engaged

  ge in a notch 13 which is formed in the rib 5 or at the end

  1 of the rectilinear section 2 is at the end of the short length section 4 forming a return extending the butt 3 The various sections 2, 3, 4 are assembled together by means of studs 14 engaging in bores

  axial surfaces in the opposite faces of the sections to be connected.

  FIG. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the curtain rod according to the invention. In this variant, the bar 1 does not have a longitudinal rib 5, but it is kept spaced from the ceiling 6

  by spacers 15 disposed between this ceiling and the bar 1.

  These spacers 15 are constituted by sleeves which can be either independent elements of the bar 1 i, or form a single piece with this bar Each sleeve 15 is traversed by a fixing screw 7 and

  is located near the end of the bar 1 With such a disc

  position the circular rings 12 are of the conventional type.
