At the end of the curtain rail 10, the curtain is pulled toward the rail caps 31 and 32, and the curtain runner 20 is abutted against the rail caps 31 and 32.

By this abutting, the concave portion 25 of the curtain runner is engaged with the convex portion 34 of the rail cap 31, and the convex portion 24 of the curtain runner is engaged with the concave portion 35 of the rail cap 32. Thus, the curtain runner 20 is connected to the rail caps 31 and 32, and the movement of the curtain is restricted at the end of the curtain rail 10.

Further, by pulling the curtain toward the end and fully opening it, the convex portion 24 of the curtain runner 20 connected and locked to the rail cap 31 is engaged with the concave portion 25 of another curtain runner. At the same time, the projections 24 of the other curtain runners are engaged with the recesses 25 of the curtain runner 20 which are linked and locked to the rail cap 32. Then, by connecting the curtain runners 20 adjacent to the engaged curtain runners 20 one after another,
The curtain runners 20 are all connected. This allows the curtain to be fixed at both ends of the car window without the need for bands or strings.

When the curtain covers all the windows, by connecting adjacent curtain runners 20 in the central portion of the curtain rail 10,
The curtain can be fixed.

As described above, by changing the shapes of the curtain runner 20 and the rail caps 31 and 32, the curtain can be fixed, and the curtain runner 20 can be opened and opened and closed simply by pulling the curtain. Curtains such as vehicles do not open or close when traveling.

Further, by appropriately connecting a plurality of curtain runners 20 at a predetermined position, pleats can be formed on the plurality of connected curtain runners, and a high-class feeling can be obtained. Especially for adjusting the width of the curtain, combine the curtain runners to form pleats,
Since it can be performed, there is no need to create a special curtain that fits the width of the window of the vehicle type, and the curtain can be versatile.

4 and 5 are cross-sectional views showing another example of the curtain runner 20, showing other shapes of the convex portion and the concave portion formed in the first engaging portion 21 located in the curtain rail 10. ing.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the curtain runner 20, a diamond-shaped engaging portion 24a is formed at the front end of the convex portion 24, and the other side (the rear side in this example) is formed. Recessed portion 25 into which the protruding portion 24 is fitted and engaging recessed portion 2
Although the example in which 5a is formed is shown, in FIG. 4, a circular convex portion 24 and a concave portion 25 for engaging the convex portion are formed, and in FIG. 5, the convex portion 24 having a sharp tip is formed. And a concave portion 25 into which the convex portion is fitted.

The convex portion 24 and the concave portion 25 of the above embodiment are
The curtain runners 20 are engaged with each other and are joined together to regulate the movement of the curtain.

In the rail caps 31 and 32 provided at the ends of the curtain rail 10, the rail cap 31 on one side has a convex portion 35 and the rail cap 32 on the other side has a concave portion 35. The convex portions 34 and the concave portions 35 are the convex portions 24 and the concave portions 25 of the curtain runner 20.
Is configured to engage with.

7 to 11 show still another embodiment. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a rail cap, FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a curtain runner, FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the curtain runner, and FIG. 11 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the vehicle curtain device, and FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle curtain device at an end portion of the curtain rail. In this embodiment, the same members and the like as those in the previous embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 7 shows a rail cap 33 in this example, and this rail cap 33 has a convex portion 34. The convex portion 34 is configured so that the width increases from the front end side toward the rear end side.

As shown in FIG. 8, the curtain runner 20 of this example has the first engaging portion 2 located in the curtain rail 10.
1 is bifurcated along the traveling direction of the curtain runner 20 and is formed of leg portions 21a and 21a.
A slit as a recess 25 that engages with the protrusion 34 of the rail cap 33 is formed inside the leg portions 21a, 21a. The width c of the convex portion 34 of the rail cap 33 is larger than the width d of the slit as the concave portion 25.

A taper portion 27 is formed at the entrance of the concave portion 25 so that the tip of the convex portion 34 of the rail cap 33 can be easily fitted into the slit as the concave portion 25.

The second engaging portion 22 of this example is the first engaging portion 2
1 and a connecting portion 26, and a slit as a recess 25 formed in the first engaging portion 21 along the traveling direction of the curtain runner 20 in the second engaging portion 22. It is divided into two parts with almost the same width as. A mounting wheel 23 is formed in a loop shape on the end surface of the second engaging portion 22 so as to bridge it.

Next, the operation of the vehicle curtain device S having the above structure will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the curtain runner 20 is slidably arranged except for both ends of the curtain rail 10. This configuration itself is the same as the conventional technique.

By abutting the curtain runner 20 toward the rail cap 33 side at the end of the curtain rail 10, the convex portion 34 of the rail cap 33 is fitted into the slit as the concave portion 25 of the curtain runner 20, and this abutting contact is made. Thus, the curtain runner 20 is connected to the rail cap 33, and the movement of the curtain is restricted at the end of the curtain rail 10. At this time, it is possible to more firmly fix the second engaging portion by utilizing the spring effect of the mounting ring 23 formed in the loop shape.

12 and 13 show another embodiment of the embodiment shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 12 is a vertical sectional view of the curtain runner, and FIG. 13 is a vertical sectional view of the curtain runner at the end of the curtain rail. It is a figure. In this embodiment, the same members and the like as those in the previous embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 12, the curtain runner 20 of the present example has a gap e with the curtain rail 10 which is the same as that shown in FIG.
It is set to be smaller than that of the embodiment shown by.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the rail cap 3 is inserted into the slit as the recess 25 of the curtain runner 20.
When the convex portion 34 of No. 3 is fitted and the leg portion 25a constituting the concave portion 25 is expanded and pressed against the inner surface of the curtain rail 10 in the width direction, the curtain runner 2
Curtain runner 20 to combine 0 and rail cap 33
And the curtain rail 10 is combined with each other, so that the curtain rail 10 can be more firmly fixed.

Although the above has been described as a vehicle curtain device, it can be applied as a curtain device used for a window of a building. Especially when it is applied to household use, opening and closing of the curtain can be facilitated, and the commercial property can be improved.

[0055]

According to the present invention, both ends of the curtain can be easily fixed, and the fixing can be released only by pulling the curtain.

As described above, by changing the shape of the curtain runner, the movement of the curtain can be restricted without changing other curtain devices, and the curtain can be opened and closed by simply pulling the curtain. The curtain does not open and close freely when driving, and its practical effect is great considering economic efficiency.
