peer agreement (net): +1holdbacks or embraces // tiebacks Explanation: alzapaño 1. m. Pieza fijada en la pared, que sirve para recoger la cortina hacia los lados, y cinta o cordón con que se recoge: alzapaño de hierro, de bronce. http://www.wordreference.com/definicion/alzapaño ABRAZADERAS Y ALZAPAÑOS Son dos opciones para recoger las cortinas. La abrazadera es una tira recta de tela para recoger la cortina. El alzapaños es una pieza fijada a la pared que sirve para sujetar la caída. Se colocan a unos 150-170 cm del suelo para que la sujete bien. http://www.vivircampo.com/pdf/vivircasa20.pdf Photo of alzapaños: http://www.ferreteriaortiz.es/store/item.aspx?item_id=0223.0... The “alzapaños” would be like these “tiebacks” or “holdbacks”: http://www.sticksnstitches.com/curtains/curtain_tie_backs.ht... http://www.trucksnthings.com/curtaintiebacks.html http://www.fabricant.co.uk/traditional_tiebacks.htm http://www.countrycurtains.com/sdx/H24696.jsp This doc. from the UK calls them “holdbacks” or “embraces” http://www.worldofbrass.co.uk/shop/2/4/index.htm However, the ones made of fabric (“abrazaderas”) are also called tiebacks. http://www.alternative-windows.com/tieback.htm http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/dc_windows_curtains_drapes/article/... I think I’d go with “holdbacks” or “embraces” for the alzapaños and “tiebacks” for the abrazaderas. |

curtain holders (alzapaños) Explanation: Cuando las borlas se presentan con una prolongación de un cordón se denominan alzapaños. Sirven para recoger las caídas de las cortinas sujetándolas a los lados de la ventana mediante un aplique que se fija a la pared. La misma función, y también en pasamanería, cumplen las abrazaderas. En este caso, se trata de un sencillo cordón, más grueso de lo normal, del que no cuelga ningún otro adorno. Espero te sirva =) Reference: http://www.ka-international.com/servicios/guia/guia_compras_... |
