The device is a drapey panel mounting bar designed so the mounting hardware remains concealed behind a stationary drapery panel. This invention addresses a common issue of the center of gravity of the drapery panel being pushed away from the mounting hooks, causing the drapery hooks or fasteners to pivot toward the wall. The device prevents this pivoting by providing features that maintain the vertical alignment of the drapery mounting hooks or fasteners, thereby preventing buckling below the buckram. The device introduces two key features that distinguish it from previous designs. Firstly, it incorporates a bumper or shoulder designed to push against the lower part of the hook, ensuring its vertical alignment. Secondly, the device features a mounting channel designed to create a friction fit for the mounting hooks, allowing the installer to precisely position the hooks horizontally, thereby controlling the positioning of the folds in the drapery panel.
A device for hanging fixed drapery panels from the rear or behind the drapery panel, allowing the hardware to be hidden and providing for the elimination of all buckram buckling and providing for the control of the horizontal sliding of hooks to allow the horizontal fixing of drapery panel pleats. The device is comprised of a body, said body having the shape of a bar or rail with a channel or track in the top portion of the device along with a ledge creating a shoulder shape on the front of the bar.
