Self-coiling partition
Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a partition such as a curtain, blind, shade etc. employing the self-coiling sheets which play the dual role of the partitioning medium as well as the mechanism providing the means for extending and retracting said partition. Said self-coiling sheets constituting the self-coiling partition may be a planar plastic sheet of a single or multiple layers in structure with an intrinsic material property of coiling itself into a roll, or a fabric reinforced with a plurality of the spiral springs providing the self-coiling characteristics, or a double layer of plastic sheet including a thin flat sheet under a tension suprimposedly bonded to a corrugated plastic sheet with a stiffness under compression whereby the combination of the tension and the compression provides the coiling moments distributed over said plastic sheet or double layer structure.
