The curtain release mechanisms each include a user operable mechanism for retention of and subsequent substantially simultaneous release of the rod engaging members from the curtain release mechanisms.
Claims33
A curtain system comprising:
- a curtain comprising a plurality of rod engaging members attached thereto;
- and
- a plurality of rods each comprising a curtain release mechanism attached at an end thereof, said rod engaging members configured to engage respective curtain release mechanisms, said curtain release mechanisms each comprising a user operable mechanism for retention of and subsequent substantially simultaneous release of said rod engaging members from said curtain release mechanisms.
A curtain comprising:
- a curtain body;
- and
- a plurality of rod engaging members attached to said curtain body, said rod engaging members each comprising:
- a stem comprising a first end and a second end;
- a release mechanism engaging member extending from said first end of said stem;
- a first curtain engaging piece extending from said second end of said stem;
- and
- a second curtain engaging piece configured for snap fit engagement with said first curtain engaging piece with a portion of said curtain therebetween.
A curtain system comprising:
- a curtain comprising a plurality of rod engaging members attached thereto;
- a plurality of rods each comprising:
- an elongated central member comprising a first end and a second end;
- an attachment device attached to said first end;
- and
- a curtain release mechanism attached to said second end, said rod engaging members configured to engage respective curtain release mechanisms, said curtain release mechanism comprising a user operable mechanism for retention of and subsequent substantially simultaneous release of said rod engaging members from said curtain release mechanisms;
- and
- a ceiling track engaging component configured for engagement with said attachment device.
A curtain suspension system comprising:
- a plurality of rods each comprising a first end and a second end;
- a curtain release mechanism attached at said first end of each of said rods, said curtain release mechanism comprising a user operable mechanism for retention of and subsequent substantially simultaneous release of rod engaging members from said curtain release mechanisms;
- a ceiling track engaging component at said second end of each of said rods;
- and
- a linkage extending across said plurality of rods and attached to said rods proximate said second end, said linkage operable, when said rods are proximate one another, to maintain an alignment between adjacent said rods such that said curtain release mechanisms are aligned for ease in inserting a key therethrough.
A curtain release mechanism comprising:
- a ceiling track engaging component;
- and
- a user operable mechanism extending from said ceiling track engaging component, said user operable mechanism for retention of and subsequent release of a rod engaging member from said curtain release mechanism.
