Abstract: In order to incorporate a weighting cord into the curtain without hindrance, not only is a bead array of spaced weighting bodies employed but this bead array is also surrounded by a textile tube which is to provide a cord surface substantially free of discontinuities. To produce the weighting cord economically, it is proposed to make it as a yarn composite using a spinning procedure. Here, the bead array constitutes a yarn core extending in axial direction of the yarn, and spun fibers are wound around the yarn core thereby generating a tube-like spun fiber coat.
