Column gap cover system
A column gap cover system that includes right and left columns with toothed wheels intended to be fixed to a furniture, right and left ratchet clamps including a half-round clamp and a pawl connected together by a spring, and a sheet of fabric that its ends are connected to the clamps. The system is intended to cover a gap between the columns. The clamps are assembled on the columns and the pawls engage dips between the teeth of the toothed wheels, and the spring secure the pawls to the wheels, by that fastening the clamps to the columns. The clamps are manually rotatable on the columns, allowing the user to tension the sheet and engage the pawls in the appropriate dips to maintain the fabric in a taut state.
1 . A column gap cover system, comprising:
a right column having one or more toothed wheels and configured to be fixed to a piece of furniture, a ceiling, a floor, or a base;
a left column having one or more toothed wheels and configured to be fixed to the piece of furniture, the ceiling, the floor, or the base;
a right ratchet clamp comprising a half-round clamp and a pawl, wherein the half-round clamp is connected to the pawl by a spring;
a left ratchet clamp comprising a half-round clamp and a pawl, wherein the half-round clamp is connected to the pawl by a spring;
a sheet of fabric, wherein a right end of the sheet is connected to the half-round clamp of the right ratchet clamp, and a left end of the sheet is connected to the half-round clamp of the left ratchet clamp;
wherein the column gap cover system is configured to cover a gap between the right column and the left column;
wherein each ratchet clamp is configured to be assembled on a respective column such that the pawl engages a dip between the teeth of the toothed wheel, while the spring exerting force to secure the pawl to the toothed wheel, thereby fastening the ratchet clamp to the column;
wherein the ratchet clamps are configured to be manually rotatable on the columns, allowing a user to tension the sheet of fabric and engage the pawl in an appropriate dip to maintain the fabric in a taut state.
