Vertical curtain panel assembly

A vertical curtain panel assembly for providing a decorative privacy barrier comprising:

• an elongate frame structure including at least one frame unit having a top plate, two opposite longitudinal side walls and a longitudinal center wall equally spaced between said opposite side walls in parallel relation thereto,
• said frame unit further including a pair of channels each defined between a respective of said side walls and said center wall,
• each of said channels including an upper track and a lower track,
• means on said side walls for attachment of an adjacent frame unit so as to add adjacent channels to the assembly,
• a plurality of carriers each structured and disposed for receipt within one of said channels and including one pair of fixed carriers secured within a respective one of said channels and a plurality of movable pairs of carriers, each pair of movable carriers being movably fitted within a respective one of the remaining adjacent channels,
• roller means on said movable carriers to allow movement thereof along a length of said upper and lower tracks in said channels,
• each of said plurality of carriers including a lower portion fitted within said lower track and extending outwardly from an opening along said channels,
• said carriers each including a wing structure including a pair of oppositely disposed transverse wings extending outwardly from said lower portion of each of said carriers exteriorly of said channels, said wings being structured and disposed to engage corresponding wings on adjacently positioned carriers in the adjacent channels,
• a plurality of elongate panel holders each connected near opposite ends and extending between one of said respective pairs of said carriers within a respective one of said channels, such that said panel holder is supported in substantially parallel, spaced relation below the channel along a portion of a length thereof,
• a plurality of vertical panels each attached along a top edge to a respective one of said panel holders and extending downwardly therefrom, and
• means for pulling a first pair of said movable carriers along the respective channel wherein continued advancement results in engagement of said wing structure on a trailing one of said first pair of movable carriers with the wing structure on a next adjacent leading carrier in a second pair of carriers in the adjacent channel, continued advancement of said carriers terminating upon engagement of the wing structure on said fixed pair of carriers with the wing structure on an adjacent pair of movable carriers.
