Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to composite curtains, and more particularly to the composite curtains having specifications made up of a plurality of curtains of fixed widths, moreover, fastening members are configured on side edges of each of the curtains, thus allowing a composite configuration of two or more curtains, and which thereby forms an appropriate width for the curtains to suitably shade a window. Furthermore, the present invention achieves requirements of a complete configuration for composite curtains.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

Conventional composite curtains are configured to comprise two curtains, with pleats configured on a top portion of each of the curtains, and, moreover, curtain hooks are configured on top seams of the curtains. To fit such curtains, a rail is securely configured to a top portion of an inner side of a window, and a plurality of pulley hooks are attached to the rail, whereupon each of the pulley hooks and the curtain hooks on the curtains are mutually fastened. A cord can then be pulled, which effectuates pulling of the pulley hooks to actuate the curtain hooks, and thus drawing of the two curtains toward a center of the window is actualized, which realizes shading of the window and light rays therewith. Pulling on the cord in reverse draws back the curtains toward two sides of the window, thereby removing a shading effect from the window.

Because concealing effect resulting from drawing of conventional curtains is exceptionally good, moreover, graphics on curtain material easily unfold into view and are eye appealing, and upon drawing back the curtains, the curtains can be completely tied at sides of the window, and thus do not block light rays, consequently, such conventional curtains are still a perfectly practical product, and well-liked by users, and therefore have not yet been withdrawn from markets. However, because width of windows of each household varies greatly, thus, there is a necessity for such curtains to be made to measure, and as such is a shortcoming of conventional curtains. Furthermore, so-called DIY (Do It Yourself) curtains still require first measuring the width of the window, and then requesting an operator to cut appropriate width of curtain material according to measurements of the window, whereafter a consumer carries the curtain material home (or the operator delivers the curtain material on behalf of the consumer) and fits the curtains themself. Consequently, a great deal of time is spent on on-the-spot cutting and producing the curtains, and is the primary shortcoming of conventional curtains. Furthermore, even though relatively wide curtains for a French window can be made to measure, however, because of excessively large size of the curtains, thus, the curtains are difficult to clean, which is yet another shortcoming.

In addition, so-called conventional fixed DIY (Do It Yourself) curtains, as depicted in FIG. 5, pertain to a structure embodying a sewn up type configuration that prohibits detachment, and thus do not pertain to so-called composite curtains of the present invention. Furthermore, because such a configuration prohibits detachment, thus, after assemblage, indoor light is somewhat dimmed, and thus is not an ideal design for curtains, moreover, possesses lower practicability compared to composite curtains, hence not of a high-grade curtain design.

Since the general curtain rail is probably already capable of being freely cut (or is extensible), however, the curtain material still does not provide for genuine DIY convenience. Producing high-grade composite curtains still necessitates the operator first measuring dimensions of the window, and only then can cutting of the curtain material be carried out, which results in insufficient speed of production of the curtains, lost labor processing time and inability to mass-produce. Furthermore, oversized curtains are difficult to clean, which is one of the primary shortcomings of conventional curtains, and, moreover, as of present, is a shortcoming that has not been effectively improved upon.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, a primarily objective of the present invention is to provide a structure comprising a plurality of widths of curtains, wherein a plurality of curtain hooks are configured on seams of top portions of each of the curtains, moreover, a plurality of fastening members are sewn on two side edges of each of the curtains. Fitting of the curtains can be undertaken according to requirements, whereby an appropriate number of curtains (for instance, two curtains, three curtains, or a plurality of curtains) can be joined together and adjusted to fit an appropriate width of a window by means of the fastening members. The curtains are thus assembled as a composite configuration, thereby eliminating on-the-spot cutting of curtain material by an operator, and thus saving on labor costs and on-the-spot processing time. The aforementioned as described characterizes the present invention.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide functionality for mutual joining of the curtains by means of the fastening members, and further mutual fastening by means of a plurality of rows of buttons, wherein embroidered fasteners as utilized in Chinese costumes are particularly preferred, which not only enhances beautiful appearance of the curtains, moreover, reenforces guarantee of safety.

To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
