BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a window covering, and more particularly to a window covering having a detachable cloth fixture.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] A conventional window covering comprises a headrail, a cloth attached to the headrail, a first bonding layer bonded on the headrail, and a second bonding layer bonded on the cloth and engaged with the first bonding layer so that the cloth is attached to and removed from the headrail. However, the second bonding layer is closely engaged with the first bonding layer, and the first bonding layer is loosened from the headrail during a long period of time, so that the first bonding layer is easily removed from the headrail by the second bonding layer when removing the cloth from the headrail.

[0005] Another conventional window covering in accordance with the prior art shown in FIG. 7 comprises a headrail 6 having a track 61 formed with a plurality of concave points 62 for riveting a bonding strap 63 to prevent the bonding strap 63 from detaching from the headrail 6. However, the bonding strap 63 is fixed on the headrail 6, so that it is necessary to replace the whole headrail 6 when the bonding strap 63 is worn out during a long-term utilization, thereby increasing costs of maintenance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a window covering, comprising a headrail, a cloth attached to the headrail, and a cloth fixture mounted between the headrail and the cloth to fix the cloth to the headrail.

[0007] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a window covering having a detachable cloth fixture.

[0008] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a window covering, wherein the fixing plate of the cloth fixture is mounted in the guide track of the headrail, and the first bonding layer is secured on the fixing plate, so that the first bonding layer is attached to the headrail rigidly and stably, thereby preventing the first bonding layer from detaching from the headrail when removing the cloth from the headrail.

[0009] A further objective of the present invention is to provide a window covering, wherein the fixing plate of the cloth fixture can be detached from the guide track of the headrail easily and conveniently, thereby facilitating a user replacing the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer of the cloth fixture.

[0010] A further objective of the present invention is to provide a window covering, wherein the second bonding layer is directly engaged with and disengaged from the first bonding layer, so that the cloth is attached to and removed from the headrail easily and rapidly, thereby facilitating the user washing the cloth.

[0011] Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
