  • the covering portion 51 has a first cloth segment 511, a second cloth segment 512, a third cloth segment 513, and a fourth cloth segment 514.
  • the upper tubes 53 are spaced apart vertically from each other as mentioned above.
  • One of the upper tubes 53 is disposed between the first cloth segment 511 and the second cloth segment 512, and the other one of the upper tubes 53 is disposed between the second cloth segment 512 and the third cloth segment 513.
  • Each of the upper tubes 53 is formed with two upper slots 531 that are spaced apart horizontally from each other and that extend horizontally.
  • the lower tube 54 of the curtain unit 5 is disposed between the third cloth segment 513 and the fourth cloth segment 514, and is formed with two lower slots 541 that are spaced apart horizontally from each other and that extend horizontally.

  • the winding rod 61 extends horizontally, and is adapted to be mounted rotatably to or in the vicinity of the upper edge of the window 3. In this embodiment, the winding rod 61 is mounted rotatably to the horizontal frame 4.
  • each winding piece 62 is connected to the winding rod 61.
  • Each winding piece 62 is able to be wound around the winding rod 61 to be shortened, and unwound from the winding rod 61 to be lengthened and to extend downwardly along or next to the rear side of the covering portion 51 of the curtain unit 5.
  • Each of the abutting rods 63 is mounted horizontally and removably to or in the bottom end portion of a respective one of the winding pieces 62, is larger than the lower slots 541, and abuts against a bottom surface of the lower tube 54.
  • Two of the covers 64 are used for covering end portions of each of the abutting rods 63.
  • the control rod 65 is connected to the winding rod 61 in such a manner that the winding rod 61 can be rotated by manipulation of the control rod 65.
  • manipulation of the control rod 65 to rotate about its axis results in rotation of the winding rod 61 to rotate about its own axis.
  • the axis of the winding rod 61 is roughly perpendicular to the axis of the control rod 65 when the control rod 65 hangs freely downward from its connection to the winding rod 61.
  • each of the winding pieces 62 is wound into a tube portion 621, and one of the abutting rods 63 is inserted into the tube portion 621.
  • the outer diameter of each of the covers 64 is greater than the diameter of each of the tube portions 621, such that each of the abutting rods 63 is confined within the respective tube portion 621 when the respective covers 64 are disposed on the abutting rod 63.
  • each of the abutting rods 63 is connected removably to the bottom end portion of the respective winding piece 62.
  • the manner in which the abutting rod 63 is connected to the bottom end portion of the respective winding piece 62 is not limited to the aforesaid configuration.
  • each of the winding pieces 62 extends through the respective upper and lower slots 531, 541 from the winding rod 61.
  • the bottom end portion of each winding piece 62 is restricted in upward movement relative to the lower tube 54.
  • the winding pieces 62 can be removed from the upper and lower slots 531, 541, and the fastening member 52 can be separated from the horizontal frame 4 so that the covering portion 51 of the curtain unit 5 can be removed for cleaning, or for replacement with another covering portion 51 with a different style.
  • Each of the winding pieces 62 may also be removed for cleaning or replacement.
  • removal of the covering portion 51 is very simple. Also, such a structure is simple, ultimately resulting in a lower cost for the roman curtain of the present invention.
  • each of the embodiments to follow includes two winding pieces 62 and two abutting rods 63 associated respectively therewith, two upper tubes 53, and one lower tube 54, as in the first preferred embodiment.
