Curtain rod
A curtain rod structure has an inner tube, an outer tube and a blocking unit disposed between the inner and outer tubes. The blocking unit is configured for securing and releasing the length adjustment for the inner tube and the outer tube. By rotating one of the inner tube or the outer tube, the packing cover of the blocking unit is released from the outer tube for adjustment.
1. A curtain rod structure comprising:
an inner tube, an outer tube, and a blocking unit disposed between the inner and outer tubes, an outer diameter of the inner tube being smaller than an inner diameter of the outer tube, and the inner tube slidably disposed in the outer tube;
wherein the blocking unit has a fixed sleeve, a spring, an axial rod and a packing cover, the fixed sleeve mounted at an open end of the inner tube and having a non-circular through aperture at a bottom end thereof, an end of the spring disposed in the fixed sleeve, the axial rod being a non-circular rod disposed through the through aperture of the fixed sleeve, an end of the axial rod provided with a tapered securing end for limiting movement out of the through aperture, another end of the axial rod provided with a blocking portion pushing against another end of the spring;
a tapered assembling portion disposed at an end of the blocking portion, a threaded section provided around the assembling portion; and
a tapered aperture having a threaded section is formed in the packing cover and configured for engaging with the assembling portion of the axial rod;
wherein the packing cover has at least one slot and a plurality of ribs configured for holding an inner surface of the outer tube.
2. The curtain rod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a jacket is disposed on an outside of an open end of the outer tube, and an end of the jacket is provided with a section jacketed onto the inner tube.
3. The curtain rod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the inner and outer tubes comprises a cover disposed on a respective end of the inner and outer tubes.
4. The curtain rod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the open end of the inner tube further comprises a plurality of round protrusions providing friction between the inner tube and the fixed sleeve, and the fixed sleeve further comprises a stopping ring abutting an edge of the inner tube.
5. The curtain rod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the axial rod further comprises an axial bar extending from the assembling portion, an end of the axial bar provided with an enlarged and tapered limiting portion, and the packing cover further comprises a through hole axially connected to the tapered aperture, the axial bar rotatably disposed through the through hole and limited by movement out of the through hole by the limiting portion.
6. The curtain rod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the securing end of the axial rod further comprises a slot such that the securing end is able to have different widths.
