Abstract
An apparatus for moving a curtain along a curtain rail, which apparatus is provided with driving means (5, 6; 105, 106) movable along the curtain rail (1) and, in use, coupling means (10; 110) connected to the curtain, which coupling means (10, 11; 110, 111) are arranged to couple the curtain to the driving means (5, 6; 105, 106), wherein the apparatus is provided with operable uncoupling means (14; 114) which are arranged to uncouple, at least during operation, the coupling means (10, 11; 110, 111) from the driving means (5, 6; 105, 106), so that the curtain is movable along the curtain rail (1) independently of the driving means, the uncoupling means (14; 114) being arranged to be operated independently of a force (10, 11) exerted on the curtain in a curtain rail longitudinal direction.
