Abstract:
A curtain mounting system for creating a dust barrier that includes a curtain and a mounting system. The mounting system is made up of multiple support assemblies with each assembly having a holding member for attaching and supporting the curtain to a support structure such as wall or ceiling. The support assembly also has an elastic member coupled to the holding member and is also attached to the curtain. The elastic member is configured to suspend additional portions of the curtain creating an overlapping fold in the curtain. The curtain will lengthen when it is tugged on due to the curtain fold and will return back to its original length once the tugging has subsided due to the nature and placement of the elastic member.
Abstract:
A mass marketable decorative window treatment system employs adjustable-width valance pieces or overlays that can be hung from a conventional curtain rod on which a rod sleeve has been mounted. Segmented hook and loop fastener means are employed on both the valance pieces and on a curtain rod subassembly so that the decorative window treatment components need not be permanently secured to a board as required with similar custom window treatments. The width of individual valance pieces, such as, but not limited to, swags and jabots and flat overlays can be adjusted so that the standard size components can be used for different size windows.
Abstract:
Upper ends of the first fabric and the second fabric are attached to the head rail, respectively, and the first lift code and the second lift code suspended from the head rail in a liftable manner are coupled to the first fabric and the second fabric, respectively. The first lift code is routed into a rear side of the first fabric and the second lift code is routed into a rear side of the second fabric so as to come over an upper end of the second fabric. An extension member is provided so as to extend downwardly along with a lower edge of a rear portion of the head rail, and the upper end of the second fabric is attached to a front surface of the extension member.
Abstract:
An inventive bed linen in the form of a (large) duvet cover 1a, a (small) pillow case 2a and a cover for a neck roll 3a each have functional base elements 1b, 2b, 3b with openings for inserting a duvet or a pillow. For personalization, removable decorative fabrics 1c, 2c or 3c are arranged by means of fastening means, for instance, a hook-and-loop fastener, both on the duvet cover 1a, the pillow case 2a and the neck roll cover 3a. To facilitate careful washing of the pillow case and duvet cover, the decorative fabrics 1c, 2c, 3c are detachably arranged at the functional elements 1b, 2b or 3b. In this way, the base elements 1b, 2b, 3b can be cleaned under conditions different from those of more delicate fabrics 1c, 2c, 3c which are usually made from another material.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a unique multilayered protective covering device that comprises multiple layers. The multilayered protective covering device can be used in a variety of applications, the simplest being a shower curtain or liner. The multi-layered construction of the device allows for the peeling away of the outermost layer in the event that it becomes soiled, or upon the passage of a desired amount of time, such as thirty days. In this way, a new, clean, sterile surface is available at any time.
Abstract:
In a spring-loaded curtain mount, the mount includes a pole interface at a proximal end, a compressive mechanism, and a head at a distal end. The pole interface is adapted to receive the end of a standard length adjustable pole or a painter's pole. The compression mechanism is disposed between the proximal end of the mount and the head. The mount includes a coupling device adapted to receive a portion of a curtain. During installation, the curtain mount is coupled to the end of an extension pole and the length of the pole is adjusted such that the combined length of the pole and mount is slightly longer than the distance between the floor and ceiling. At ground level, a portion of the curtain is attached to the head of the curtain mount. The curtain and mount are raised to the ceiling and the mount and pole are compressed between the floor and the ceiling. This compressive force operates to urge the head toward the ceiling, securing the mount in place.
Abstract:
In accordance with the invention there is provided a set of parts for providing a window blind. The set of parts includes a plurality of blinds each having a respective different indicia. Hooks or the like are provided on the blinds for supporting the blinds at a surround of a window.
Abstract:
A bracket for securing an elongated support member elevated against a wall or adjacent a ceiling for attachment of a window or wall covering, is described. The bracket comprises a single flat metal piece bent to form a top horizontal flange and an integrally formed vertical flange. Holes are provided in at least one of the flanges to receive fasteners therethrough for securement of the bracket. The top horizontal flange has an elongated flat stem punched therefrom and bent out of an inner surface thereof to extend downwardly at an angle about 90° thereto and spaced forwardly of the vertical flange. A plurality of thread indentations are formed in opposed side edges of the stem whereby to receive and retain a threaded nut about the stem.
Abstract:
A plurality of holes or other fastener elements are equally spaced along all of the edge portions of a curtain panel to connect to similarly equally spaced protrusions or other mating fastener elements on a curtain rod sleeve or other structural member in order to provide curtains which can effectively and aesthetically, as well as easily and quickly, be arranged in a variety of alternative decorative patterns. In another aspect, the panel is connected along one edge to a curtain rod sleeve which has fastener elements, and mating fastener elements are spaced along the remainder of the perimeter of the panel. In order to hang a curtain in a desired one of alternative decorative patterns, fastener elements on each of adjoining perimetric edge portions of the curtain are connected to mating fastener elements on a curtain rod sleeve or other structural member.
Abstract:
A retractable cover for architectural openings having collapsible vanes includes a support structure in the form of a sheet of material, monofilaments, tapes, ribbons, cords, or the like, supporting an upper edge of a plurality of vertically spaced, horizontally extending vanes with the lower edges of the vanes in most embodiments of the invention being connected to operating elements adapted to raise the lower edges of each vane toward the upper edges to define openings or gaps between the vanes through which vision and light can pass in an open condition of the covering. Variations of the covering do not require movement of a lower edge of a vane relative to an upper edge but simply movement of some vanes relative to other vanes. The vanes can be made of materials having different flexibilities and where more rigid materials are used, creased fold lines can be established for desired operability.
