DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0050] In this detailed description, the preferred alternatives of the rope fixing apparatus (A5) of the invention is described only for a better understanding of the subject without any limiting effects.

[0051] In FIG. 1, the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) is seen. Said pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) basically comprises the upper profile (11) forming the upper edge of the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) and enabling the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) to open and close up and down, the curtain (12) connected under the upper profile (11), the lower profile (13) forming the lower edge of the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) by being connected under the curtain (12) and enabling the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) to open and close up and down, the rope (14) attaching the upper profile (11) and lower profile (13) each other by passing through the curtain (12), the rope fixing apparatus (15) enabling the rope (14) to be fixed to the upper profile (11) and lower profile (13) and also the application area of the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) in the required tension adjustment.

[0052] In FIG. 2, a demounted view of the rope fixing apparatus (15) of the invention is given. Accordingly, the rope fixing apparatus (15) basically comprises an upper part (100) that can open and close as a clip enabling the rope (14) to be fixed in the required tension adjustment, the lower part (200) locking the upper part (100) bypassing it through and connecting the upper part (100) to the area where the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) will be used and also enabling the rope (14) to be fixed in a way that it does not come out of the upper part (100).

[0053] The upper part (100) that can open and close as a clip in FIG. 3 basically consists of an upper section (110) with V-shaped protruding nails (112) on its inner surface, a lower section (130) with V-shaped recessed nail space (132) in accordance with the form of said nails (112) on its inner surface and a middle section (120) in the perforated (121) structure between said upper section (110) and lower section (130).

[0054] The middle section (120) is made of a material that is less rigid than the upper section (110) and the lower section (130). Therefore, the upper part (110) and the lower part (130) can be folded two from the middle section (120) and closed on each other to make the rope (14) to be fixed in the required tension adjustment. The upper section (110) has the ability of moving back and forth on the lower section (130).

[0055] When the upper part (110) and the lower part (130) can be folded two from the middle section (120) and closed on each other, the V-shaped protruding nails (112) are closed on the V-shaped recessed nail spaces (132). Said nails (112) and nail spaces (132) closed on the nails (112) enable the rope (14) passed through the hole (121) in the middle section (120) to be fixed by tightening and enable the rope to be brought to the desired tension adjustment by means of moving the upper section (110) back and front on the lower section (130). The hole (121) located on the middle section (120) and enabling the rope (14) to enter into the upper part (100) maybe in a circle, triangle or different geometric shape.

[0056] When the upper part (110) and the lower part (130) can be folded two from the middle section (120) and closed on each other, there is a clip slot (131) in the form of recess mutually on both sides on the lower section (130) to fix the upper section (110) and lower section (130) and a clip retainer (111) in the form of protrusion fixed by passing to said clip slot (131) mutually on both sides on the upper section (110). When the upper part (110) and the lower part (130) can be folded two from the middle section (120) and closed on each other, the clip retainers (111) on the upper section (110) as seen in FIG. 4 are fixed by passing to the clip slots (131) on the lower section (130).

[0057] The lower part (200) enabling the upper part (100) to be connected to the area where the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) will be used and enabling the rope (14) to be fixed in a way that it does not come out of the upper part (100) has a slide (210) in height of the upper part (100) mutually on both sides as seen in FIG. 5. The inlet slot opening (220) forming one end of said slide (210) is open in order to make the upper part (100) enter the lower part (200). The inlet slot end (230) forming the other end of said slide (210) is close in order to make the upper part (100) to be fixed to the lower part (200).

[0058] The slide roof (211) on the slide (210) is in an inward curved structure as seen in FIG. 5b in order to lock the upper part (100) into the lower part (200) and to fix the rope (14) into the upper part (100) with said locking. Therefore, it is provided that the upper part (100) passed into the slide (210) is locked by tightening into the slide (210) by means of the inward curved slide roof (211) and the rope (14) is fixed in a way that it does not come out of the upper part (100).

[0059] There is at least one mounting hole (240) on the lower part (200) to provide that the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) is fixed to the application area.

[0060] The working principle of the rope fixing apparatus (15) of the invention is as follows.

[0061] The rope (14) of the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10) is passed through the hole (121) in the middle section (120) when the upper part (100) is open and the upper section (110) and the lower section (130) is folded two from the middle section (120) and closed on each other. In the meantime, the clip retainers (111) on the upper section (110) pass to the clip slots (131) on the lower section (130).

[0062] When the upper part (110) and the lower part (130) are folded two from the middle section (120) and closed on each other, the rope (14) passed through the hole (121) stands stable by tightening between the nails (112) and the nail spaces (132) closed on the nails (112). The upper section (110) is moved back and front on the lower section (130) in order to adjust the tension of the rope (14) when necessary and it is provided that the rope is brought to the desired tension adjustment.

[0063] After the adjustment, the upper part (100) is passed to the slide (210) on the lower part (200) connected to the sills by means of the mounting holes (240) in the application area of the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (100) by means of the inlet slot opening (220). The upper part (100) is moved by being pushed along the slide (210) and the upper part (100) bears to the inlet slot end (230). In the meantime, it is provided that the upper part (100) is locked by tightening into the slide (210) by means of the inward curved slide roof (211) and is fixed in a way that it does not come out of the upper part (100).

[0064] In the pleated or honeycomb curtain system (10), it is provided that the curtain (12) opens and closes on the ropes (14) by moving the upper profile (11) and/or the lower profile (13) up and down.
