Abstract
A combination-type curtain hook is disclosed. A combination-type curtain hook having a stitching strap and a moving hook, characterized in that the stitching strap includes a stitching piece having one side being mounted with a plurality of protruded blocks being spaced apart to form a sliding rail, and the other side of the stitching piece is stitched to the folded flap of a curtain, and the moving hook including a pair of protruded arms at one side thereof is engageable with the protruded block and the protruded arms are positioned at the gap formed between each neighboring protruded blocks, thereby the sliding hook slides up and down along the protruded blocks, achieving the positioning and height adjustment of the curtain.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to curtain hook, and in particular, to a combination-type curtain hook for which the height of the curtain mounted with this hook can be adjusted and positioned.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Taiwanese Utility Model Patent Application No. 87206563 discloses a plastic curtain hook
1
, as shown in
FIG. 1
, wherein a flat plate
11
is stitched onto curtain. However, the drawback of this conventional hook is that the height of the curtain mounted with this hook cannot be adjusted. Taiwanese Utility Model Patent Application No. 86214586 relates to a curtain hook
2
and curtain mounted with this hook can be adjusted to a desirable height. The suspension hook
21
is provided with toothed rail at the sides thereof for mounting onto a moving hook
22
. The height of the moving hook
22
is adjustable and therefore the height of the curtain is adjustable. The suspension hook
21
has a long supporting arm
211
, which can be inserted into a folded flap of the curtain to support the curtain. The moving hook
22
moves along the moving arm
212
downward but not moves upward so as to position the curtain. The drawback of this conventional curtain hook is that the curtain hook
2
has to be inserted into the folded flap of the curtain manually. If cleaning or washing of the curtain is needed, the curtain hook
2
has to be removed. This is a time-consuming and laborious.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a combination-type curtain hook, which mitigates the drawbacks of curtain being not adjustable in height or the curtain hook being unloadable for cleaning/washing purposes.
Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a combination-type curtain hook, wherein the curtain hook comprises a stitching strap having one side being mounted with a plurality of protruded blocks as a sliding rail, and a moving hook having a hook arm and a pair of protruded arms, such that the protruded arms can be positioned on the gap formed between two neighboring protruded blocks.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a combination-type curtain hook, wherein the moving hook is engaged to the protruded blocks positioned on the stitching strap.
An aspect of the present invention is to provide a combination-type curtain hook having a stitching strap and a moving hook, characterized in that the stitching strap includes a stitching piece having one side being mounted with a plurality of protruded blocks being spaced apart to form a sliding rail, and the other side of the stitching piece is stitched to the folded flap of a curtain, and the moving hook including a pair of protruded arms at one side thereof is engageable with the protruded block and the protruded arms are positioned at the gap formed between each neighboring protruded blocks, thereby the sliding hook slides up and down along the protruded blocks, achieving the positioning and height adjustment of the curtain.
Other object and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to
FIG. 3
, there is shown a combination-type curtain hook
3
comprising a stitching strap
31
and a moving hook
32
. One side of the stitching strap
31
is provided with a plurality of protruded blocks
312
being formed into a sliding rail. The stitching strap
31
is made from cotton cloth or artificial fiber cloth and the protruded blocks
312
are made from plastic or stainless steel material. The plurality of the protruded blocks
312
are spaced apart and a gap
313
is formed between two neighboring protruded blocks
312
. The moving hook
32
which is in engagement with the protruded blocks
312
includes a pair of protruded arms
323
for slidably mounting to the protruded blocks
312
and a hook arm
322
both being positioned onto a moving frame
321
. The length of the protruded arm
323
is about the wide of the gap
313
. Thus, as shown in
FIG. 4
, when the moving hook
32
is in engagement with the protruded blocks
312
of the stitching strap
31
, the moving frame
321
is framed at the protruded blocks
312
. When the moving frame
321
moves along the protruded blocks
312
until the protruded arms
323
is positioned at the gap
313
, the top end of the protruded arm
323
urges the bottom face
314
of the protruded blocks
312
, and the moving hook
32
will not be able to move further, i.e., the hook
32
is positioned at the stitching strap
31
. As the protruded arm
323
is located at the top of the moving frame
321
, when the moving hook
32
is pushed downward, the protruded arm
323
will be extended to move downward along the protruded blocks, and the moving hook
32
can stop at the required position. Thus, the required height of the curtain can be adjusted and positioned.
As shown in
FIG. 4
, the stitching strap
31
is stitched to the curtain, and the moving hook
32
is engaged to the protruded block
312
. Thus, the curtain can be unloaded for cleaning or washing without removing the curtain hook as that of the conventional curtain hooks structure.
As shown in
FIG. 5
, when the protruded block
315
is made into a trapezoid shape, the protruded arms
324
have to be mounted at the inner wall of the moving frame
321
. When the moving hook
32
is engaged with the trapezoid protruded blocks
315
, as shown in
FIG. 6
, the protruded arms
324
move along the protruded blocks
315
until the arms
324
urge the bottom face
316
of the protruded block
315
. Thus the moving hook
32
is positioned. As shown in
FIG. 7
, the protruded blocks
315
can be formed into a continuous block as a sliding rail
317
without formation of gaps. The moving frame
321
is in engagement with the sliding rail
317
and moves up and down. The protruded arm
324
urges the cleave
318
of the sliding rail
317
and the moving frame
321
is stationery. Thus, the objective of positioning or height adjustment of curtain is achieved.
In application, as shown in
FIG. 8
, the curtain hook of the present invention can be directly stitched to the curtain or hooked onto the moving rings (not shown) on the curtain rail (not shown).
While the invention has been described with respect to preferred embodiments, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited by the specific illustrative embodiment, but only by the scope of the appended claims.
Claims
