Abstract
The present invention provides a curtain spacer designed to maintain consistent spacing between vertical curtain pleats. The spacer features a hollow cylindrical body split into two connected halves, with an opening mechanism that allows the body to widen, creating a channel for easy installation onto a curtain rod. The spacer may be equipped with grips and a spring mechanism that, when compressed, open the channel, allowing the spacer to be clipped onto the rod between curtain attachment parts, such as grommets. The device is adaptable to different curtain rods and provides aesthetic versatility through its transparent embodiments, ensuring that curtain pleats remain evenly spaced.
