Abstract:
An improved drapery connector assembly for draping a table, stage, or the like, is disclosed. The assembly is utilized to drape a table, stage, or the like, having a peripheral edge with a downwardly extending flange member around the peripheral edge, includes a plurality of clips that are resiliently and slideably clamped along the peripheral edge. The clips generally comprise a face section, having an inner surface and an outer surface with a first fastener disposed on the outer surface of the face section. An upper leg section transversely intersects the face section along the upper portion thereof and a lower leg section is affixed to the lower portion of the face section with at least a portion of the lower leg section extending upwardly along the inner surface of the face section whereby at least a portion of the lower leg section is adjacent the inner surface of the face section at a point intermediate the upper and lower portions of the face section. The clips are adapted to engage the inner surface of the upper leg and the inner surface of the face section with the top and front portions of the peripheral edge of the table, stage or the like, as the upstanding portion of the lower leg assembly simultaneously abutts the back side of the downwardly extending flange. The fastener, affixed to the outer edge of the face section is adapted to receive and restrain, in mating engagement, a fastener attached to a suitable drapery whereby the drapery will be suspended from the plurality of clips.
Abstract:
Window trim assembly of extruded plastic sections for mobile homes and the like, having a rear mounting base member and a front member having shade, drapery or valance mounting formations which is releasably coupled to the base member. The mounting base member has a base panel to be mounted against a building wall and an outwardly projecting mounting rib to be interfitted in a channel recess of the front member and held therein by interlocking teeth. Side jamb sections and a bottom section can be added.
Abstract:
A drapery cord actuated slide member is translatably mounted on a drapery rod and carries a vertical plate having its outer surface covered with an adhesive or other bonding agent, such as ''''Velcro,'''' to engage and support the leading upper corner portion of a drape. By attaching the leading upper corner portion of the drape to the plate, the corner of the drape is provided with firm backing over a substantial area and drooping is obviated. Optionally, the slide member can be made bilaterally symmetrical and connected to the drape supporting plate by an adapter which enables the device to operate either as a righthand or a left-hand master carrier.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a cordless covering for a sliding glass door or other large opening or window that can be arranged in at least three different configurations. In one configuration, one or more slats may be inserted into various pockets on the covering to enable an individual to gather the slats together and change a length of the covering. In a second configuration, a portion of the covering may be draped over one of the pockets of the covering to change the length of the covering. In a third configuration, the covering can be pulled to one side of the sliding glass door such that the width of the covering is changed.
Abstract:
Curtains are provided which have fastener/s and, in some cases, strut/s arranged along a screen. The strut/s extend to elevation/s below and/or above the fastener/s. An upper strut may have a lower degree of stiffness than a lower strut. In some cases, the fastener/s are arranged at least 20 inches from the screen's upper edge. Systems are described which include a disinfection apparatus and any of such curtains. Other systems include any of such curtains attached to an edge of a room divider. Easily assembled and disassembled room dividers are described which include cord/s and/or pole/s, installed or portable device/s for supporting the cords/poles, and fasteners for attaching a curtain to the cords/poles. A disinfection apparatus is described which includes a shield extending to an elevation at least two feet above a germicidal light source and borders at least one third of a continuous region surrounding the germicidal light source.
Abstract:
A retractable cellular shade is illustrated in various embodiments to consist of a support structure that could assume numerous forms including cellular material, flexible sheets of material, tapes or ribbons, or flexible monofilaments or similar cords of natural or synthetic fibers with the support structure supporting a plurality of vanes or slats in various configurations and orientations. The movement of the vanes or slats is totally dependent upon movement of the support structure. The fabric so formed can be incorporated into a covering for architectural openings with the covering including a headrail with means for gathering the fabric material within the headrail.
Abstract:
A drapery system for forming a window drapery of user-selected length. The system includes first and second drapery sections and at least one fastener for selectively and overlappingly attaching the drapery sections without stitching or sewing. A method of forming a drapery of user-selectable length is also provided.
Abstract:
A modular track system for hanging a curtain, the track system consisting of modules or sections with attachments and accessories designed to adjust to varying environments and specifications. Track shape and length are adjusted by specifying various combinations of the specialized components created as part of the system. Complementing the track system is a curtain with integrated loop fasteners which allows the curtain to be attached and removed without removing the track. The system further preferably includes a side support for use in attached the track to a fixed support in the environment, and a guiderail on the side of the track on one or more track sections, the track and curtain all being coordinated to form an efficient and improved curtain hanging system.
