Abstract
A magnetic curtain and a sliding panel formed therefrom are revealed. A magnetic curtain includes an upper portion, a lower portion, a plurality of a plurality of middle portions arranged between the upper portion and the lower portion, and a plurality of magnetic parts disposed on an interface between two adjacent portions of the magnetic curtain. While the magnetic curtain is retracted, the two adjacent middle portions are folded in half in turn to form a curved part respectively. The two adjacent curved parts are away from each other so as to prevent protrusion and extension caused by overlapping of the curved parts. Thus the magnetic curtain has more applications and higher use efficiency.
Claims14
A magnetic curtain comprising:
- an upper portion;
- a lower portion;
- a plurality of middle portions arranged between the upper portion and the lower portion, having different length thereof respectively from bottom to top, and having a difference in length between the two adjacent middle portions;
- and
- a plurality of magnetic parts disposed on an interface between two adjacent portions selected from the group consisting of the upper portion, the lower portion and the middle portions;
- wherein each of the middle portions is folded into a doubled-over middle portion in turn from bottom to top and the magnetic part at the lowest position is attracted to other magnetic parts in turn while the magnetic curtain being retracted;
- a curve part is formed on bottom of each of the doubled-over middle portions;
- thus the magnetic curtain is retracted and positioned at required height;
- or the magnetic curtain is extended by reverse operation;
- wherein a lower middle portion is firstly folded into a doubled-over middle portion while an upper middle portion is then folded into another doubled-over middle portion when the two adjacent middle portions are folded in turn;
- the doubled-over middle portion formed by the upper middle portion is on a rear side of the doubled-over middle portion formed by the lower middle portion;
- wherein a length of the doubled-over middle portion on the rear side is different from a length of the doubled-over middle portion on a front side due to the difference in length between the two adjacent middle portions from bottom to top;
- thus there is a certain distance between the curve part formed on bottom of the doubled-over middle portion on the rear side and the curve part formed on bottom of the doubled-over middle portion on the front side and the curved parts on bottom of the two adjacent doubled-over middle portions are not overlapped.
A sliding panel formed from a plurality of magnetic curtains comprising:
- a rail set having a plurality of parallel channels;
- a plurality of carrier tracks each is disposed with a connector on a top end thereof and a runner is arranged over the connector;
- each of the carrier tracks is slid under the rail set by the runner slid in the channel of the rail set;
- a plurality of magnetic curtains each of which is connected to and hung from the carrier track correspondingly;
- thus each of the magnetic curtain and the corresponding carrier track are slid horizontally under the rail set to be gradually extended and forming a shade for a window;
- or each of the magnetic curtain and the corresponding carrier track are slid horizontally under the rail set to be gradually retracted and users are allowed to see through the window;
- wherein each of the magnetic curtain includes an upper portion, a lower portion, a plurality of middle portions arranged between the upper portion and the lower portion, and a plurality of magnetic parts disposed on an interface between two adjacent portions of the upper portion, the middle portions and the lower portion;
- wherein the magnetic parts on the two adjacent magnetic curtains are not at the same height and there is a height difference between the magnetic parts on one of the two adjacent magnetic curtains and the magnetic parts on the other magnetic curtain;
- the magnetic parts on the two adjacent magnetic curtains will not be attracted to each other due to the height difference while the magnetic curtains are slid horizontally under the rail set to be extended gradually or retracted gradually.
