Abstract
An apparatus for suspending a traverse curtain on a common track assembly. The track assembly has opposed generally horizontally extending flanges. Mounted on the track is a carriage having spaced apart rollers, each of the rollers rotating about a respective and substantially vertical axis of rotation. A separate one of the rollers engages each flange for moving the carriage along the track. The rollers rotate in a plane parallel to the plane defined by the flanges. The rollers are located for preventing jamming of the carriage at curved portions of the track. Curtain supports are attached to the carriage for supporting a respective portion of the curtain.
