Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention enables a wide variety of curtain designs by connecting a parallel body of stretchable strips at both ends so that each strip can be deformed. The present invention relates to a designed curtain that can be changed into a wide variety of designs, and also to a designed curtain base material that allows such designed curtains to be produced efficiently and at low cost, with high added value.

(Prior art and problem to be solved by the invention H) Conventional curtains are formed by two curtain-like objects, or by connecting tape-like objects or band-like objects in parallel at their upper ends. Because of this, even if it was hung on a window or wall, it would only maintain a fixed appearance.

In the case of blinds, it is possible to change the appearance of the blind surface to some extent by changing the opening/closing angle of the slats, but this is merely a simple change in the inclination of the slats.

As described above, conventional curtains or blinds have not been able to meet the recent demands for improved interior fashion with sufficient satisfaction.

The present invention makes it possible to create a dynamic and interesting design on the curtain surface, thereby meeting the trend toward more upscale interior design.
The object of the present invention is to provide a designed curtain using elastic strips and a designed curtain base material for producing the same.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A designed curtain (hereinafter referred to as a designed curtain) 1 using elastic strips according to the present invention has an elongated form such as a tape shape or a string shape, and is stretchable in the length direction. It is characterized in that a parallel body 3 of flexible strips 2 are connected at both ends so that the strips become integral with each other.

Further, the designed curtain 1 is preferably manufactured using the curtain base material of the present invention having the following configuration. That is, the curtain base material 6 according to the present invention is knitted as a lace of a certain length by using a warp knitting machine using stretchable knitting yarn for some or all of the warp yarns, and both end edge portions 7
．． an elongated strip forming part 9 forming an intermediate portion 8 excluding 7;
9 The mutually connected parts are separated by a separating thread 12 over their entire length.
It is chain-knitted using a chain-knitted part 11, and by unraveling the separating thread 12 forming the chain-knitted part 11, each strip-forming part becomes an independent tape-shaped strip 2. It is characterized by:

(Function) It is possible to arbitrarily deform and maintain a desired strip, such as by bending and deforming a desired strip at a predetermined location and then maintaining that state, or by integrating a plurality of strips in a convergently deformed state. This allows you to freely change the appearance of the curtain surface.

In addition, when this design curtain is used as a curtain for a residential window or a rear window of a car, for example, the transparency produced by the light passing through the curtain surface can be freely controlled depending on the bending state of the strips. This can be changed.

To manufacture the designed curtain 1 using the curtain base material 6, each strip forming section 9 is separated by untying the separating yarn 12 of the chain knitting section 11 forming the connecting section 10 of the strip forming section 9. are each independent tape-shaped strips 2.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a design curtain 1 according to the present invention is constructed as a lace curtain as a whole, and is a parallel body of strips 2 made of lace that has an elongated tape shape and can be expanded and contracted in the length direction. 3 are connected at both ends by connecting pieces 5.5, and in the free state, the side edges of adjacent strips are in substantially contact with each other. In this embodiment, the strip 2 is designed to extend from about 1.5 times to twice its free state length.

Such a designed curtain 1 is manufactured using a designed curtain base material 6 shown in FIG. 2 knitted by a warp knitting machine (for example, a jacquard drancel knitting machine).

The design curtain base material 6 is formed as a lace of a certain length using stretchable knitting yarn as part of the warp threads, and has elongated strips forming an intermediate portion 8 excluding both end edge portions 7.7. The connecting portion 10 of the piece forming portions 9, 9 is chain-knitted over its entire length using a separating thread. Figure 3 is the thread for separation! A part of the chain-knit knitting part 12 using (2) is illustrated together with a state in which the separating thread 11 forms the edge part 7. When the separating yarn 11 forming the chain knitted part 12 of the curtain base material 6 knitted in this manner is unraveled as shown in FIGS. Each independent strip 2 as shown
As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, a design curtain 1 is manufactured in which a parallel body 3 of strips 2 having elasticity in the length direction are connected at both ends by connecting pieces 5.5. That will happen. Incidentally, in FIGS. 3 and 5, the thick dashed dotted line indicates the inner edge of the edge portion 7.

In short, the design curtain according to the present invention may be one in which a parallel body 3 of strips 2 are connected at both ends so that the strips become integral with each other. The explanation is as follows with reference to Figures 7 to 7. 6th
The design curtain 1 shown in the figure has a large number of elastic strips 2 having a tape-like or string-like shape set to a required length, and is connected by connecting pieces 13 that are separate from the strips 2. It is manufactured by sewing etc. so that the strips are integrated with each other. Moreover, the designed curtain 1 according to FIG. 7 has a sheet (for example, a woven fabric made of spandex or a rubber-like sheet) that can be expanded and contracted in the length direction, with cuts 15 in the length direction except for both end edge portions 7.7. It is produced by putting in. In addition, the designed curtain according to the present invention may be produced by knitting a curtain base material in which the connecting portions of the strip forming portions are connected with easily breakable threads, and tearing the connecting portions of the strip forming portions of this curtain base material. Can be manufactured.

FIG. 8 shows the design curtain 1 attached to a glass window, for example, the rear window 16 of a car.The strips are held in a bent state using a holder 17, giving a three-dimensional effect to the curtain surface. A certain geometric pattern is revealed. As an example of the holder, there is a holder 17a as shown in FIG.
Examples include an S-shaped holder 17b having hook-shaped hooks 19, 19 adjacent to each other as shown in the figure. In FIG. 8, the upper and lower connecting pieces 5, 5 of the design curtain door are fixed to the upper and lower edges of the inner surface of the rear window 16 using, for example, sheet fasteners (not shown). At that time, each strip 2 of the design curtain 1 can be expanded and contracted in the length direction, so even if the vertical width of the design curtain is somewhat short of the vertical width of the rear window, each strip 2 can be expanded and contracted in the length direction. In the extended state, the designed curtain can be installed so as to cover the entire rear window. As shown in FIG. 6, when a large number of elastic strips 2 are configured so that the strips are integrated with each other by a connecting piece 13 that is separate from the strips, the connecting pieces 1
3. When using a material that is stretchable in the length direction, even if the left and right width of the design curtain is slightly shorter than the left and right width of the rear window, the design curtain will have its upper and lower connecting pieces It is installed in a slightly extended state to cover the entire rear window.

FIG. 11 shows a state in which the designed curtain 1 according to the present invention is wound into a cylindrical shape so as to surround a light source (not shown) such as a jump rear, and the upper and lower edges of the designed curtain 1 are wrapped around a bag. A ring-shaped fixing fitting 21 is inserted into the bag-shaped insertion portion 20, and the designed curtain 1 is wound around the light source. Now, if we create openings in the curtain surface by deforming and holding the required strips, light will leak depending on the opening state, and this will create a tasteful atmosphere along with the change in the shape of the curtain surface. The Rukoto.

FIG. 12 shows the design curtain 1 attached to the surface of the screen 22, and the decorative effect of the design curtain can further improve fashionability. Moreover, FIG. 13 shows a state in which a thin design curtain 1 is pasted on the inner surface of the glass surface of a shoji 23 located outside a double-sliding window. In this case, since the designed curtain has a thin structure, the inner shoji 25 can be opened and closed without any problem even when the designed curtain 1 remains attached. In addition, in FIGS. 1I to 13, the deformed state of the strip is shown only in a part of the designed curtain for convenience.

In addition, a plurality of design curtains according to the present invention may be combined, for example, in an overlapping state, crossing each other vertically and horizontally. In this case, the decorative effect is further improved by making the strips of the design curtains on the front and back sides of a different color. This means that it is possible to create a curtain design that is unique.
