Abstract
A curtain system is described that includes a curtain having a plurality of rod engaging members attached at an end thereof. The plurality of rods each have a curtain release mechanism attached thereto where the rod engaging members are configured to engage respective curtain release mechanisms. The curtain release mechanisms each include a user operable mechanism for retention of and subsequent substantially simultaneous release of the rod engaging members from the curtain release mechanisms.
Claims28
A curtain system comprising:
- a plurality of rod engaging members configured to be attached to a curtain;
- and
- a plurality of curtain release mechanisms configured to suspend the plurality of rod engaging members and curtain therefrom, the curtain release mechanisms each having a tumbler comprising a key aperture, the tumblers for use in selectively coupling the rod engaging members to and releasing the rod engaging members from the curtain release mechanisms;
- wherein the tumblers of the plurality of curtain release mechanisms are simultaneously rotatable between a first position for coupling the rod engaging members to the curtain release mechanisms and a second position for releasing the rod engaging members from the curtain release mechanisms by insertion of a key into the key apertures of the tumblers of the plurality of curtain release mechanisms and rotation of the key from a first key position to a second key position.

A curtain system comprising:
- a curtain body;
- a plurality of rod engaging members directly attached to the curtain body, the rod engaging members also configured to be coupled to curtain release mechanisms for suspending the curtain body from the curtain release mechanisms, the rod engaging members each defining a keyway therethrough;
- and
- an elongate key configured to be inserted through the keyway of each of the plurality of rod engaging members when the curtain body is attached to the rod engaging members such that each of the plurality of rod engaging members can be located together on the key for supporting the rod engaging members when coupling the rod engaging members to the curtain release mechanisms wherein the elongate key is not affixed to the curtain body.

A curtain system for suspending a curtain, the curtain system comprising:
- a plurality of rods;
- and
- curtain release mechanisms coupled to end portions of the rods, each of the curtain release mechanisms comprising a user operable mechanism configured for retention of and subsequent release of a curtain to and from the corresponding curtain release mechanism;
- wherein the user operable mechanism of each of the curtain release mechanisms is operable between a first position for coupling the curtain to the corresponding curtain release mechanism and a second position for releasing the curtain from the corresponding curtain release mechanism;
- and
- wherein the user operable mechanism of each of the curtain release mechanisms defines a keyway, and wherein the curtain release mechanisms can be positioned to receive a key through the keyway of each of the curtain release mechanisms such that the user operable mechanisms of the curtain release mechanisms can be operated together by the key from the first position to the second position.
