Abstract

A curtain-blind system has hangers which hang multiple sections thereof. Each section has a first surface, a second surface, a first connector clamping the first surface, and a second connector clamping the second surface. The first connector is releasably hung on a first hanger and the second connector is releasably hung on a second hanger. The sections are arranged side-by-side on respective hangers with the first connector of one section being independently releasable from an adjacent section whilst remaining clamped to the first surface. A hanger has a head portion received in a head-rail and a hanger portion depending below the head portion. The hanger portion is configured to releasably hold independent connectors of first and second sections such that the sections are hung adjacently on the hanger portion in a side-by-side arrangement.
