Sound insulating curtain
View Patent ↗A sound-insulating curtain includes a sound-absorbing core formed by laminating porous sheets and films, is covered by covers, and sewn in an integrated manner. Even after being integrally laminated, adjacently laminated layers are not excessively restrained in places other than sewn areas, and therefore displacement and deformation between layers caused by sound pressure can be tolerated. Sound absorption effects are appropriately produced by each layer, which tolerates such displacement and deformation, while reliably maintaining integrity during handling. Thus, the entire curtain maintains the ability to absorb sounds, efficiently attenuates noise that attempts to pass through the curtain, and suppresses the transmission of noise, thereby enabling noise to be reliably prevented from passing through the curtain.
1. A sound-insulating curtain, which is to be provided as a partition so as to be capable of spreading between two areas, said sound-insulating curtain comprising:
a sound-absorbing core, which is formed by conducting a plurality of steps of placing a porous sheet member having at least flexibility, compressive deformability and restorability against deformation, on a smooth film formed of synthetic resin, a boundary area between the porous sheet member and the smooth film having a frictional resistance configured to allow the porous sheet member and the smooth film to slide relative to each other; and
cover members, which are formed of a sound-transmitting flexible material and are almost sheet-shaped,
wherein:
a combined body in which said sound-absorbing core and said cover members are placed so that the sound-absorbing core is held between the cover members on opposite sides of the combined body, is continuously sewn in a vertical direction in a hanged state, and a plurality of rows of sewn section by sewing is provided at predetermined intervals in a horizontal direction, so as to form a combined body into a whole.
2. The sound-insulating curtain, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
said porous sheet member comprises a non-woven fabric having a small contact area with said film.
