Abstract

A method for forming a honeycomb curtain and includes a weaving process, a fixing process, a gluing process, a stacking process and a cutting process. The honeycomb curtain includes multiple netted tubes, and each netted tube includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The central portion of each of the upper and lower portions is woven to form a tight-woven structure. Two sides of each of the central portions are woven to form a sparse-woven structure to form the upper portion to be a breathable first semi-transparent strip and to form the lower portion to be a second semi-transparent strip. The outer corner of each of the upper and lower portions are woven to form another tight-woven structure. The central portions of each of the netted tubes are applied with glue on respective outer face thereof. The netted tubes are stacked and pressed to form a layered structure.

Claims (11)

1 . A method for forming a honeycomb curtain comprising:

a weaving process: using a weaving machine to complete weaving of a netted tube, the netted tube being a symmetrical open shape when unfolded and including an upper portion and a lower portion, a central portion of each of the upper portion and the lower portion of the netted tube being woven with a twisted yarn to form a first woven structure, two sides of each of the central portions being woven with single yarn to form a second woven structure so as to form the upper portion to be a breathable first semi-transparent strip and to form the lower portion to be a second semi-transparent strip, an outer corner, away from the first and second semi-transparent strips, being woven with single yarn to form a third woven structure;

a fixing process: using a pressure heating device to press and flatten the netted tube, the central portions of the netted tube being aligned with each other to form a symmetrical netted tube;

a gluing process: applying adhesive to the central portions of the netted tube;

a stacking process: using a stacking and pressing device, the netted tubes with adhesive applied being stacked in a manner with an adhesive side facing outward, forming a layered structure; and

a cutting process: cutting the layered netted tubes to a desired length to form a honeycomb curtain.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the central portions of the first and second semi-transparent strips are made of twisted yarn in the first woven structure.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sides of the first and second semi-transparent strips are made of single yarn in the second woven structure.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outer corner of the first and second semi-transparent strips is made of single yarn in the third woven structure.

5 . A honeycomb curtain comprising:

multiple netted tubes, each netted tube including an upper portion and a lower portion when unfolded, a central portion of each of the upper portion and the lower portion of the netted tube being woven to form a first woven structure, two sides of each of the central portions being woven with single yarn to form a second woven structure so as to form the upper portion to be a breathable first semi-transparent strip and to form the lower portion to be a second semi-transparent strip, an outer corner, away from the first and second semi-transparent strips, being woven with single yarn to form a third woven structure, the central portions of each of the netted tubes being applied with glue on respective outer face thereof, the netted tubes being stacked and pressed to form a layered structure.
