Abstract
A holdback assembly is provided comprising a mounting portion and a holdback portion. The mounting portion and the holdback portion are coupled and the mounting portion is configured to mount the holdback assembly to a structure while the holdback portion holds back a material or fabric from a position where it would otherwise fall under the force of gravity. In some embodiments, the holdback assembly is mounted to the side trim of a window and the holdback portion holds back a curtain from a portion of the window. In some embodiments, the holdback portion and the mounting portion are separable.
Claims20
A holdback assembly comprising:
- a holdback portion;
- the holdback portion comprising an open end portion, a coupling portion and a bend portion;
- a mounting portion coupled to the holdback portion;
- the mounting portion comprises a mounting plate having an inward facing surface, an open side surface and one or more engagement protrusions coupled to and extending generally perpendicular from the inward facing surface of the mounting plate;
- and
- the inward facing surface of the mounting plate oriented substantially orthogonal to a direction of an extension of the holdback portion;
- and
- the inward facing surface is configured to engage a mounting surface whereby the engagement of the inward facing surface with the mounting surface provides a compressive force to counter a force component applied to the holdback portion of the holdback assembly in the direction of the extension of the holdback portion.
A holdback assembly comprising:
- a holdback portion comprising an open end portion, a coupling portion and a bend portion;
- a mounting portion comprises a mounting plate having an inward facing surface, an open side surface and one or more engagement protrusions coupled to and extending generally perpendicular from the inward facing surface of the mounting plate;
- the mounting plate coupled to the bend portion of the holdback portion by a single angular bend;
- and
- the inward facing surface of the mounting plate oriented substantially orthogonal to a direction of an extension of the holdback portion.
