This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201911081839.1 with a filing date of Nov. 7, 2019. The content of the aforementioned applications, including any intervening amendments thereto, are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of curtain installation, in particular to a mounting rod assembly for installing a curtain.
Curtains are widely used at homes, offices and other places alike, mainly for adjusting the indoor light. Among all the curtains, roller blinds, venetian blinds, and honeycomb blinds are more commonly used. When a curtain is to be installed, it is generally necessary to determine the size of the window frame first, and then select the suitable curtain for installation. However, if the size of the curtain does not match with the size of the window frame, one might need to select and purchase a new curtain since the size of the curtain is usually determined after production and assembly. It is difficult for one curtain to match with window frames of various sizes, and during the purchase of a curtain, the size of the curtain may be too large or too small and the curtain may need to be replaced or reselected, due to poor flexibility in installation.
One objective of the present disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior arts by providing a mounting rod assembly for installing a curtain, with adjustable installation length which adapts to window frames of various sizes and ensures high flexibility in installation.
The technical solution of the present disclosure is as follows: a mounting rod assembly for installing a curtain comprising a main rod and a telescopic rod; one end of the telescopic rod stretches into the main rod and can slide along the length direction of the main rod, and the main rod is provided with a locking member for stopping the sliding of the telescopic rod.
In one embodiment, the top of the telescopic rod is provided with a helical rack, and the locking member is provided with clamping teeth matched with the helical rack.
In one embodiment, two helical racks are symmetrically arranged as a set, respectively along the left and right length direction of the telescopic rod, and an avoidance groove is formed between the two helical racks.
In a preferred embodiment, the locking member is inserted into the top wall of the main rod along the end of the main rod and fixed by a fastener, and the bottom of the locking member is bent to form a hook for clamping with the top wall of the main rod.
In a preferred embodiment, a limiting rib is arranged on the top wall of the main rod along the length direction of the main rod, and a limiting groove matched with the limiting rib is provided on the locking member.
In a preferred embodiment, the clamping teeth are arranged at the bottom of the locking member, and the bottom of the locking member, which close to the clamping teeth, extends obliquely upward to form a switch part.
In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic rod is provided with a connecting end surface at one end away from the main rod.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that in the present invention, through the cooperation of the telescopic rod and the main rod, the entire mounting rod assembly can be fitted to the window frames of various sizes during installation. The installation length is adjusted by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod extending out of the main rod, and then locking and positioning the telescopic rod with the locking member, which makes the curtain more applicable and the installation more flexible.
As shown in the figures, 1 main rod, 2 telescopic rod, 3 locking member, 4 helical rack, 5 clamping teeth, 6 avoidance groove, 7 hook, 8 limiting rib, 9 limiting groove, 10 switch part, 11 connecting end surface, 12 mounting hole, 13 mounting space.
Embodiments will be readily understood by the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
In the present invention, through the cooperation of the telescopic rod 2 and the main rod 1, the entire mounting rod assembly can be fitted to the window frames of various sizes during installation. The installation length is adjusted by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 2 extending out of the main rod 1, and then locking and positioning the telescopic rod 2 with the locking member 3, which makes the curtain more applicable and the installation more flexible. When the overall length of the mounting rod assembly needs to be increased, simply pull the telescopic rod 2 outward, and after the external force is removed, the overall length of the mounting rod assembly is fixed; when the overall length of the mounting rod assembly needs to be shortened, firstly, lift the switch part 10 on the locking member 3 up so that the clamping teeth 5 disengage from the helical rack 4 to unlock the telescopic rod 2, then push the telescopic rod 2 inward so that the telescopic rod 2 is retracted to the main rod 1; after the external force is removed, the clamping teeth 5 are meshed with the helical rack 4 to lock the telescopic rod 2 from stretching, and the overall length of the mounting rod assembly is fixed.
Although certain embodiments have been illustrated and described herein for purposes of description, a wide variety of alternate and/or equivalent embodiments or implementations calculated to achieve the same purposes may be substitute for the embodiments shown and described without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the embodiments discussed herein. Therefore, it is manifestly intended that embodiments described herein be limited only by the claim and the equivalents thereof.
