Systems and methods for deployment of curtains

A curtain system comprising:

• a plurality of rods each comprising a first end and a second end, said second end of each of the rods operable for engaging a ceiling track;
• a plurality of curtain release mechanisms, each of the curtain release mechanisms attached to a corresponding rod at said first end thereof, each of said curtain release mechanisms comprising a key aperture;
• a plurality of rod engaging members attached to a curtain and configured for selectively coupling to corresponding curtain release mechanisms, each of the rod engaging members having a stem with a first end configured for engagement with a corresponding curtain release mechanism to thereby selectively couple the respective rod engaging member to the corresponding curtain release mechanism, and a second end configured for engagement with the curtain, each of the rod engaging members further having a keyway formed in the stem of the respective rod engaging member;
• and
• a first key configured for insertion through said key apertures of the curtain release mechanisms, the key apertures of the curtain release mechanisms configured to be aligned so that the first key can be positioned in the key apertures of each of the curtain release mechanisms at the same time;
• and
• a second key configured for insertion through said keyways of the plurality of rod engaging members, the keyways of the plurality of rod engaging members configured to be aligned so that the second key can be positioned in the keyways of each of the plurality of rod engaging members at the same time to thereby support the plurality of rod engaging members and the curtain on the second key.
