Abstract:
A panel hook (1) designed for hooking a panel to be connected to the panel hock to a carrier, such as a rail, the panel hock comprising a strip (2) provided with a part (5) of I-shaped cross-section that is integral therewith, which part comprises a first flange (6), which races the strip, and a second flange (7), which forms a guide for a slide, wherein the slide engages round the second flange and comprises a hook-shaped element (15), wherein the 1-shaped part comprises a profile between the flanges, and wherein the slide comprises at least, one projection (11) which engages the profile of the 1-shaped part so as to prevent the slide from being moved in a first direction (13) along the second flange, whilst movement of the slide in an opposite, second direction (12) along the second flange is possible, a special feature being the fact that the panel hook further comprises a second slide (3) provided with a hook-shaped element (14), which second slide engages around the second flange, wherein the second slide comprises a projection that engages the profile of the 1-shaped part so as to prevent movement of the second slice in the second direction along the second flange, whilst on the other hand movement of the second slide in the first direction along a second flange is possible.
Abstract:
A hanger for suspending a shower curtain and a spaced apart liner from a shower bar has a first hook for the curtain and a second hook for the liner, and the mouths or openings of both hooks face in the same direction, preferably toward the inside of the shower enclosure. A decorative medallion is preferably affixed to the outer side of the hanger and the placement and dimension thereof are sufficient to block from view of a person outside the shower the opening at the top of the curtain, by which means the curtain is hung from the outside hook of the hanger.
Abstract:
A curtain hanging system is described that includes a curtain rod hanger with an overhead suspension member and a collar with a bellows. The curtain rod hanger includes one or more collar engaging members. When the collar is coupled to the curtain rod hanger via the collar engaging members, the bellows surrounds at least a portion of the curtain rod hanger.
Abstract:
Overhead door assemblies having both interlocking and releasable guide assemblies, and guide track assemblies for use with same are disclosed herein. An overhead door track configured in accordance with an embodiment of the invention includes a first side portion spaced apart from a second side portion to define a channel or gap region therebetween. The first side portion has a first guide surface and a first retention surface. Similarly, the second side portion has a second guide surface and a second retention surface. In this embodiment, the first and second guide surfaces diverge outwardly from the gap region in a first direction, and the first and second retention surfaces diverge inwardly from the gap region in a second direction, opposite the first direction. An overhead door configured in accordance with another embodiment of the invention can include a first guide member configured to extend through the gap region and movably engage the first and second retention surfaces, and a second guide member configured to be removably engaged with the first and second guide surfaces.

Abstract:
A ring assembly for curtains includes a first ring located on the outside of the curtain sheet, a second ring located on the inside of the curtain sheet and a cover ring connected to the first ring. The second ring includes first protrusions which extend through the curtain sheet and are engaged with first apertures in the first ring to clamp the curtain sheet between the first and second rings. The cover ring includes second protrusions which are engaged with the second apertures in the first ring so as to hide the first apertures and the first protrusions in the first apertures.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus, for pleating curtains and pleated curtains using the apparatus, are described. The apparatus may be provided as a parts kit which includes a stiffener, pleat-forming members, and fasteners. The stiffener is attached to a curtain and bent into a series of pleat-shaped formations. The pleat-forming members and fasteners are used to hold the stiffener and support the curtain, forming the created pleats in place. The curtain may then be hung on a curtain rod by a separate hanging element which couples the pleat-forming members to a curtain rod. The hanging element may form an integral part of the pleat-forming member.
Abstract:
A privacy curtain system is described that includes a curtain having a plurality of curtain release mechanisms attached thereto, the curtain release mechanisms each having a rod engaging member extending therefrom. The system also includes a plurality of rods each comprising a lower hooking member configured to engage one of the rod engaging members. The curtain release mechanisms are operable to cause a portion of each rod engaging member to release from the respective curtain release mechanism.
