Abstract: A pleatable curtain in which several pull cords, at least one on each side, are arranged in a series of repeat patterns across the top of the curtain is disclosed. Each repeat pattern comprises a plurality of portions, some of which, where the pullcord is movable, is movably enclosed and the others where the pullcord is freely movable.

Abstract: A pleated curtain comprising a supporting tape attached to the upper edge on the back side of the curtain, a hanger means, and a plurality of tapes, affixed vertically on the curtain is disclosed. The tapes are divided into alternatingly reinforced and unreinforced segments with cord-guiding loops affixed at the level of each second pleat fold line. Pull cords, guided by the loops and hanger means, are attached to the bottom portion of the curtain. When operated simultaneously, the pull cords evenly raise the curtain and thereby place it into pleats which extend horizontally across the width of the curtain.

Abstract: A pleater tape which includes at least one pull cord for forming double pleats in drapes, curtains or the like is disclosed. The pull cords are alternately arranged on the back side of the tape and affixed so as to be longitudinally displaceable in the center of a double pleat. The arrangement is such that the lengths of the two oppositely placed single pleats determine the length of the double pleat.
