Abstract
A toy element having a thin, flexible material as well as a holder for it is provided. The toy element may be used in the construction of a doll house for which it constitutes a curtain and the suspension, in the form of a rod, for the curtain.

A locking part couples to the holder and secures the rod holding the curtain in position.
Claims10
An element to be used as a toy, e.g. for dollhouses, comprising a holder (1, 2) and a thin, flexible material (7) as well as coupling means for mounting the flexible material (7) in the holder (1, 2), characterized in that the coupling means comprise an elongate cavity in the holder with a longitudinal slot (10), said cavity encasing flexible holding means (3) and that the flexible material (7) extends through the slot (10) and includes portions disposed about the holding means (3) in such a manner that the thin, flexible material can be slidably moved on the holding means, and wherein the width of the slot is less than the holding means cross-sectional dimension so that upon attempt to pull the thin, flexible material (7) out of the longitudinal slot, said material (7) acts on the holding means (3) to provide a clamping effect between the holding means (3) and the surfaces of said elongate cavity adjacent said slot on both sides of the holding means (3).
