- a u-shaped body defining an internal space and an external space, wherein the u-shaped body comprises a first plate, a second plate, and an engagement feature, the first and second plates being substantially parallel relative to each other, and wherein the first plate defines a first circular aperture, and the second plate defines a second circular aperture;
- and
- a hook member extending through the first and the second circular apertures and across the internal space of the u-shaped body, the hook member having a first end sized to engage an opening in the rack and a threaded second end, wherein the first end and a portion of the threaded second end are positioned in the external space when the hook member extends through the first and the second circular apertures of the u-shaped body;
- and
- a nut configured to be threaded onto the external portion of the threaded second end of the hook member, wherein the engagement feature is configured to engage with an opening of the curtain so that when the nut is threaded onto the external portion of the threaded second end of the hook member, the tensioning device functions to tension the curtain relative to the rack.
