This disclosure relates to a curtain, and more particularly relates to a combination structure of a decorative curtain rod and a track.
A modern curtain may be combined with a decorative panel on an outer side of the curtain rod hanging a curtain fabric for aesthetic purpose to make the curtain have a unique style as a whole. Thus, the overall quality may be improved.
Moreover, the decorative panel of curtains of the related art are installed on the outside of the curtain rod by screws, or inserted in the dovetail groove on the outside of the curtain rod. However, this installation of the related art decorative panel is cumbersome and difficult, so it needs to be improved.
The installation of the curtain track of the related art is to combine multiple brackets on the wall first, and then to combine the track on these brackets. However, there are many components between the curtain track and the brackets, and that may increase the difficulty of assembly.
In view of the above drawbacks, the inventor proposes this disclosure based on his expert knowledge and elaborate researches in order to solve the problems of related art.
One object of this disclosure is to provide a combination structure of a decorative rod and a track to simplify the combination of a decorative rod and a track for increasing the convenience of assembly.
This disclosure provides a combination structure of a decorative curtain rod and a track. The combination structure includes a decorative rod, a plurality of locking sets and a track. The decorative rod includes a rod body and an L-shaped opening disposed on a side of the rod body. The L-shaped opening is extended from one end of the rod body to another end of the rod body. The plurality of locking sets is arranged spacedly in the L-shaped opening. Each of the plurality of locking set includes a locking plate and a locking piece. The locking plate includes a plate body and a plurality of blocking pieces. The plurality of blocking pieces is arranged in pair and spacedly on the plate body to form an insertion space respectively, and each locking plate is combined on the rod body through the locking piece to be rotatable. The track includes a column and a sliding slot disposed on the column. The column includes a fixing plate and a pair of wings bent and extended from two sides of the fixing plate. The pair of wings and the sliding slot are arranged on two sides of the fixing plate opposite to each other. The track is combined in the L-shaped opening through the locking plate being configured to rotate to make the pair of wings penetrate into the insertion space and be blocked by the blocking pieces.
In comparison with the related art, the combination structure of the decorative curtain rod and the track of this disclosure has an L-shaped opening disposed on the decorative rod. Additionally, the locking sets are arranged spacedly in the L-shaped opening. The locking plate includes a plurality of blocking pieces and is combined on the rod body through the locking pieces to be rotatable. Furthermore, the track has a pair of wings. The wings penetrate into the space of the blocking pieces of the locking plate by rotating the locking plate, and are combined in the L-shaped opening by the blocking of the blocking pieces. As a result, multiple brackets used in the track of the related art for combination are omitted, and the convenience of assembly is increased.
The features of the disclosure believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The disclosure itself, however, may be best understood by reference to the following detailed description of the disclosure, which describes a number of exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
The technical contents of this disclosure will become apparent with the detailed description of embodiments accompanied with the illustration of related drawings as follows. It is intended that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.
Please refer to
The decorative rod 10 includes a rod body 11 and an L-shaped opening 12 disposed on a side of the rod body 11. The L-shaped opening 12 is extended from one end of the rod body 11 to another end of the rod body 11. Furthermore, a plurality of decorative patterns 111 are disposed on an outer surface of the rod body 11. The arrangement of the decorative patterns 111 may enhance the aesthetics of the decorative rod 10.
In this embodiment, the decorative rod 10 further includes a pair of decorative heads 13, a pair of end plates 14 and a plurality of screws 15. The pair of end plates 14 are respectively disposed between each of the decorative heads 13 and each end of rod body 11 through the screws 15. Moreover, the pair of decorative heads 13 are combined on two ends of the rod body 11 opposite to each other. In some embodiments, each decorative head 13 is formed with a cover 131 on a side facing the rod body 11. The cover 131 is fastened on an end of the rod body 11.
The locking sets 20 are arranged spacedly on the rod body 11 at a side where the L-shaped opening 12 is located. Each of the locking sets 20 at least includes a locking plate 21 and a locking piece 22. The locking plate 21 includes a plate body 211 and a plurality of blocking pieces 212. The blocking pieces 212 are arranged in pair and spacedly on the plate body 211 to form an insertion space 210 respectively (refer to
Specifically, each of the locking plates 21 includes a handle 213. The handle 213 is disposed protrusively from the periphery of the locking plate 21 for the user to exert force to rotate the locking plate 21. Additionally, the locking plate 21 includes a stepped portion 214 located between the pair of the blocking pieces 212. The arrangement of the stepped portion 214 may enlarge the insertion space 210 for facilitating the insertion of the track 30.
In one embodiment of this disclosure, each of the locking sets 20 further includes a gasket 23. The gasket 23 is disposed between the locking plate 21 and an inner wall of the L-shaped opening 12. The arrangement of the gasket 23 may facilitate the rotation of the locking plate 21.
The track 30 includes a column 31 and a sliding slot 32 arranged on the column 31. The column 31 includes a fixing plate 311 and a pair of wings 312 bent and extended from two sides of the fixing plate 311. The pair of wings 312 and the sliding slot 32 are arranged on two sides of the fixing plate 311 opposite to each other.

It should be noted that the track 30 of this disclosure is combined on the decorative rod 10 through the locking sets 20. Additionally, the brackets 50 are also combined with the track 30 through the locking sets 20. Therefore, when assembling the track 30 and the brackets 50, the locking sets 20 may be shared. As a result, the convenience of assembling is increased and the purpose of simplifying the assembling is achieved.
Please further refer to
Comparing with the previous embodiment, this embodiment is different in that the rod body 11a is a hollow metal rod. Moreover, the rod body 11a is further combined with a decoration plate 60a on the side facing the L-shaped opening 12a. The outer surface of the decoration plate 60a is connected to the bottom side of the rod body 11a for covering the bottom side of the rod body 11a. Additionally, the arrangement of the locking sets 20a and the other components is the same as that of the previous embodiment and here is omitted for brevity.
While this disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure set forth in the claims.
