Retractable curtain panel with track guide

摘要

According to some aspects, provided are curtain assemblies comprising two or more curtains selectably moveable between an open position and a closed position. Some embodiments include a track guide for at least one of the curtains having a first track and second track insert coupled to respective sides of the track guide and the curtain, wherein the curtain is moveably coupled to the first and second track inserts, and moveable along the channel of operation during transition between the open and the closed position. The curtains can be configured to define an air pocket that improved the energy efficiency of the curtain assembly (e.g., improving heat and/or noise properties). Some embodiments include a roller guide to maintain spacing between the curtains and can define a boundary of the air pocket.

主权项

1. A curtain assembly comprising:
at least a first and second curtain selectably moveable between an open position and a closed position; a track guide having a first and second opposed sides, wherein the first and second sides define a plane of operation for the first curtain as it moves between the open position and the closed position, wherein the first and second sides of the track guide each include an open channel with a first and second internal flange within the track guide and extending laterally and partially into the open channel; a first and second track insert coupled to the opposed sides of the track guide at the first and second internal flange of the open channel, the first and second track inserts each disposed partially within respective open channels of the first and second sides of the track guide and extending through a space defined by the first and second internal flange at respective sides of the track guide, wherein the first curtain is moveably coupled to the first and second track inserts, each of the first and second track inserts having a cross-section structure, wherein the cross-section defines a base member, connected to a first yoke terminating in a first horizontal structure and the base member connected to a second yoke terminating in a second horizontal structure, wherein the first and second horizontal structures extend towards each other with a spacing separating the first and second horizontal structures, wherein the spacing defines a channel of operation at which the respective track insert and the first curtain are moveably coupled, and wherein the first curtain travels along the open channel of operation within the first and second track insert during transition between the open and the closed position; and an air barrier defined between at least the at least first and second curtains constructed and arranged to improve energy properties of the curtain assembly, wherein the air barrier is defined at least by the first and second curtains.
