摘要:
A coupler system for connecting elongate, horizontally disposed rods to vertical supports includes a top-cap component for attaching to the top of a vertical support. The top-cap support includes a body with plural cavities, and at least one ball-cap component for attaching to an end of a rod. The ball-cap component includes a ball region that fits within one of the plural cavities. The body may be formed with four plural cavities, each having beveled edges. The ball-cap component may include a ball region, a neck region, and an angled region located adjacent the neck region and away from the ball region. The top-cap and ball-cap components may include insertion regions with opposing sets of ribs. The coupler system may further include a cover component, and the body may be formed with a central hole for receiving a fastener that secures the cover component to the top-cap component.
摘要:
A curtain assembly for hanging a shortened, lighter curtain from existing curtain ceiling tracks. The assembly uses adjustable height hangers to connect the commercially available track to existing curtain systems and a lightweight disposable curtain to hang therefrom. The brackets to attach the track to the room walls and one bracket allows for the vertical insertion of the curtain hooks onto the track. A quick load bracket gathers the curtain hooks for vertical installation through the brackets. The curtain can be installed simply and quickly by one person without a ladder.

A coupler system for connecting elongate, horizontally disposed rods to vertical supports includes a top-cap component for attaching to the top of a vertical support, and including a body with plural cavities formed therein, and at least one ball-cap component for attaching to an end of a rod, and including a ball region that is constructed to fit within one of the plural cavities of the top-cap component. The body may be formed with four of the plural cavities, with each of them having beveled edges. The ball-cap components may include a ball region, a neck region, and an angled region located adjacent the neck region and away from the ball region. The top-cap and ball-cap components may include insertion regions with opposing sets of ribs. The coupler system may further include a cover component, and the body may be formed with a central hole for receiving a fastener that secures the cover component to the top-cap component.

A drapery-holding, light-blocking air deflector is provided comprising an elongated deflector housing having an internal space. A rod is mounted for rotation within the internal space of the deflector housing. Multiple retaining radial protrusions (e.g., radially extending flaps) are mounted on the rod. The rod can be rotated in the internal space of the deflector housing to orient the retaining radial protrusions at multiple positions or angles and retain a curtain or other suspended light-blocking or privacy item within the internal space. Thus, the air deflector prevents the curtains, panels or other suspended, light-blocking or privacy items from being blown forward by air from an AC unit and separating and unblocking light passing through a window into the room.

A coupler comprises a first channel having a first axis of extension in a first horizontal direction and a second channel having a second axis of extension in the first horizontal direction. The second axis of extension is parallel to and spaced apart from the first axis of extension in a second horizontal direction. The second axis of extension has a pitch angle relative to the first axis of extension in a vertical direction, the pitch angle being less than 180 degrees. The first and second channels each include head-mounting features, the head-mounting features constructed and arranged to retain an elongated head to the coupler while permitting movement of the elongated head relative to the coupler in the first horizontal direction.

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.
摘要:
A shield apparatus and method for using the apparatus are disclosed. The shield apparatus that includes first and second supports, a screen, and a retraction mechanism associated with the first support. The screen has opposing vertical edges attached to the supports. The retraction mechanism has a construction that allows the second support to be pulled toward the first support, e.g., by way of the screen. During use, the supports are positioned in a substantially vertical position at different locations.
