The present invention relates to the technical field of daily necessities, and particularly to a telescopic window curtain rod with a self-locking function.
BACKGROUNDIn daily life, people often use some curtain rods to hang window curtains. Specifically, people prefer to use telescopic window curtain rods when using window curtains because the telescopic curtain rods may be randomly adjusted in length as required and may be conveniently installed at the site. A telescopic rod supported between two opposite sides by adjusting length through telescoping may be used to hang window curtains or other articles, and may be widely used in daily life because of being supported between two opposite sides on the basis of not damaging window frames (or opposite sides of door frames) and having the advantages of convenient removing and installing, simple structure and the like.
The existing products on the market are mainly divided into two types, the product of one type has a groove and slide rail function, but has a single rod, so that such product must be strictly made according to the size of a window or the distance between two walls, and is difficult to be in common use. The product of the other type is telescopic. Products of the same model may be in common use within a certain length range, for example, between 36-66 inches. The same product may be applicable depending on telescopic length. However, at present, all products of this type have no slide rail, so that circular rings are used to hang window curtains and then are sleeved outside the tube to achieve sliding.
Moreover, the existing telescopic window curtain rod mainly comprises an inner tube and an outer tube which are movably sleeved with each other and a spring, wherein the free end of each of the inner tube and the outer tube is provided with a plug coming into contact with the wall, one end of the spring is fixedly connected with the outer tube, the other end thereof is sleeved in the inner tube, and the inner tube is sleeved in the outer tube. A Chinese patent with the Patent No. of 94222621.6 provides a stainless steel telescopic rod, however, one end of a spring thereof is fixedly arranged on a fixing rod in an outer tube. The assembling procedure of the fabrication process is relatively complicated, thereby not being suitable for practical industrial production; moreover, the plug is simply designed, is not provided with plug holder matching with the right angle of a window frame (or opposite sides of the door frame), only can bear light weight, and is easy to slide and fall off A Chinese patent with the Patent No. of 200620058318.6 provides a self-pressing supporting telescopic rod, however, one end of a spring thereof is fixedly connected with an outer tube by pins, and the other end thereof is movably connected with an inner tube by pins. Similarly, the assembling procedure of the fabrication process is relatively complicated, thereby not being suitable for practical industrial production; moreover, the plug is simply designed, is not provided with plug holder matching with the right angle of a window frame (or opposite sides of the door frame), only can bear light weight, and is easy to slide and fall off In addition, swing may be caused if there is a gap between the outer tube and the inner tube.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention may have the following advantages and positive effects:
The telescopic window curtain rod with a self-locking function of the present invention has a unidirectional self-locking function while telescopic adjustment is achieved. When the telescopic window curtain rod is installed in various occasions, such as different rooms, according to the sizes of the rooms, the inner tube located in the outer tube is pulled for adjustment. The length of the whole window curtain rod is adapted to the sizes of the rooms. After adjustment is completed, because the telescopic window curtain rod has the unidirectional self-locking function, the inner tube may not draw back and cause length change of the window curtain rod. The horizontal support and the vertical support can realize horizontal connection and fixed connection between the window curtain rod and the wall, and can guarantee safety and stability of the window curtain rod. The decorative rod heads are located at two ends of the window curtain rod and can be butted against two side surfaces of the room to avoid that the outer tube or the inner tube is butted against the wall surface.
Another important function is that, if the product is used between two planes (such as two walls), tool-free installation may be realized, and the product is pressed backwards directly through the unidirectional sliding function of the springs to fix the product between the two walls through the elasticity of the springs. The function is mainly used for a shower curtain rod. Therefore, both ends of the shower curtain rod come into contact with the walls, and are flat tube caps.
If the product is used as the window curtain rod, decorative rod heads are arranged at both ends, while the supports are used as a fixation mode. There are two kinds of supports. The support with a post is used for the vertical wall, and needs screws for drilling and installation. The support with an iron sheet is used for ceiling installation. Different installation modes are used according to different needs of customers.
