Abstract
A compound spring bar includes a compound spring having one end fixed and the other end rotating as a curtain fabric opens and closes, where the compound spring includes at least two springs with different diameters, the springs are nested in layers according to their diameters, adjacent springs are connected in series, and all the springs form a combined spring; and free ends of an innermost spring and an outermost spring in the combined spring, which are not connected to other springs in series, are two ends of the combined spring.
Claims3
A compound spring bar, comprising:
- a compound spring, the compound spring comprising:
- at least two springs including a first spring having a first end and a second end, and a second spring having a first end and the second end, the first spring having a first diameter and the second spring having a second diameter, the first diameter being greater than the second diameter, wherein the first and second springs are nested in layers with the second spring nested within the first spring according to their diameters, the first and second springs are connected in series;
- a first end of the first spring constituting a first end of the compound spring, and a second end of the first spring is fixed to an adapter;
- and
- a first end of the second spring is fixed to the adapter, and a second end of the second spring constituting a second end of the compound spring;
- and
- a retractable tube that is connected to an upper end of curtain fabric and is rotatable with opening and closing of a curtain including the curtain fabric, wherein the retractable tube is fixed to one of the first and second ends of the compound spring, a support tube penetrates through the second spring in the compound spring, an other one of the first and second ends of the compound spring is fixed,
