Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a clip for folds such as curtains.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, when a fold is provided on a curtain, the cloth is folded and then sewn by hand or by a sewing machine such as a sewing machine using a needle and a thread. There was also a method of fixing with metal fittings such as eyelets.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, the curtain folds are conventionally sewn with threads, so when changing the crease spacing, the sewn threads must be cut and sewn again. Had the drawback of being very laborious. Also, things fixed with eyelets could not be easily removed. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a clip that can form and change a fold of a curtain with one touch.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the above-mentioned object, the present invention has an outer clip having a U-shaped cross section and a partition plate at the center, an inner clip having a U-shaped cross section fitted in the outer clip, and a front end of each clip. The above problem is solved by providing a locking portion for locking both clips to each other and providing a suspending tool on either one of the clips.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, 1 is an outer clip having a U-shaped cross section, 2 is an inner clip having a U-shaped cross section and slightly smaller than the outer clip 1, and both clips have a constant width h. In the outer clip 1, 11 is a partition plate provided in the center of the inner side of the outer clip 1, and 12 is a hook-shaped engaging portion also provided at both ends. The locking portion 12 has a shape such that the hook projects inward. In the inner clip 2, 22 is a hook-shaped engaging portion provided at both ends of the inner clip 2, and 23 is a suspender planted in the clip 2. The locking portion 22 has a shape such that the hook projects outward. Both the outer clip 1 and the inner clip 2 or at least the inner clip 2 are made of a conventional elastic material so that both ends thereof can be elastically displaced and restored inward and outward. Therefore, when the inner clip 2 is pushed into the outer clip 1 from the state where the two clips are opposed to each other as shown in FIG. When passing over the locking portion 12 of No. 1, once the width is narrowed and passed, then it is restored to the outside, and the locking portions 12 and 22 are in the locked state, and it will not come off even if you try to pull it out as it is. Is configured. For removal, the inner clip 2 may be pushed inward (or the outer clip 1 may be opened outward) to disengage the engaging portion and then pull. It should be noted that the hanger may be provided on the outer clip side instead of the inner clip.

FIG. 3 shows a mode of use of the above embodiment of the present invention. In the state shown in FIG. 2, the cloth 3 at the end of the curtain for providing a fold is sandwiched between the outer clip 1 and the inner clip 2. , The inner clip 2 is pushed into the outer clip 1 as indicated by the arrow. Along with this, the cloth 3 is pushed in by both ends of the inner clip 2, but hits the tip of the partition plate 11 of the outer clip 1 from a certain position and is pushed in a meandering state as shown in the figure. At the position where the locking portion 22 of the inner clip 2 has entered the inner side of the locking portion 12 of the outer clip 1, both locking portions are in a locked state, and both clips do not return even if they are pulled back, and the cloth 3 Is fixed by a partition plate 11 with folds as shown in the figure. In this manner, a large number of folds are formed by successively fastening the clips to the fold-providing cloth of the curtain. Then, each hanging tool 23 may be hooked on a frame such as a curtain rail (not shown).

FIG. 4 shows another mode of use, in which the outer clip 1 and the inner clip 2 of the present invention face each other separately, as shown, at the ends of cloths 13, 14 such as curtains. The cloth 13 and the cloth 14 are connected by fixing them in a fitted state and inserting and locking the inner clip 2 on the cloth 14 side into the outer clip 1 on the cloth 13 side. That is, the two curtains are detachably connected. In this case, the hanger may be omitted. Further, the size of the folds formed can be adjusted by changing the length of the partition plate 11 and the lengths of the both ends of the inner clip 2. In the embodiment described above, with respect to the inner space portion 17 of the outer clip 1, the locking portion 22 at the tip of the inner clip 2 pushed into the inner space portion 17 completely fills the space portion 17, for example, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the outer clip 101 and the inner clip 102 may be used as shown in FIG. With this configuration, play in the pushing direction can be prevented.

FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment, in which a peripheral portion 26 is projected around the lower end of the inner clip 2, and a cloth is inserted and locked between the both clips to attach to a curtain rail or the like. In order to prevent the outer clip 1 from slipping down together with the cloth when it is hung, the peripheral portion 26 comes into contact with the lower side 16 of the outer clip 1 to serve as a stopper. Alternatively, the inner clip 2 may be inserted from below the outer clip 1 so that the peripheral portion 26 contacts the lower side 16 of the clip 1 and stops. It should be noted that the lower side 16 of the clip 1 may be provided with a recess (not shown) corresponding to the peripheral portion 26 of the inner clip 2 so that the peripheral portion 26 can be fitted therein. The clip of each of the above-described embodiments of the present invention can be improved in utility value by providing appropriate design features such as characters, coloring, and graphics on the sides of both the outer clip and the inner clip.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, conventionally, the curtain folds are sewn.Therefore, it was very troublesome to provide the folds or change the gap between the folds. For example, the folds on the curtain can be formed with one touch, and can be easily removed to change the crease spacing.
