  • Patent number: 11882955
    Abstract: The system includes a configurable partition curtain track. The partition track may be installed further away from the ceiling to allow other equipment to more easily traverse across the room, without the need to move or adjust the partition track. Moreover, the installation being further removed from the ceiling eliminates the need for a ladder when changing the curtain. The system may include one or more of a loading bracket, an omni cube, an angled tube, a suspension hanger, a wall mount, a handle, a track and/or a telescoping track.

  • Patent number: 9060636
    Abstract: A bracket system for window dressing includes two brackets configured to be attached to an architectural member, such as a window well, a wall or a ceiling and receive the ends of window dressings. The brackets have edges adapted to receive a fascia designed to hide the window dressing. Preferably, the fascia has a front wall designed to snap onto the brackets and is sized so that it extends above the brackets to provide a neater and cleaner look. The fascia may be L-shaped with a vertical and a horizontal member and the brackets may be configured so that the horizontal member attaches either to the top or to the bottom of the brackets.

  • Patent number: 8122932
    Abstract: The present application pertains to a system for adjusting the height of a covering, such as window or a wall covering formed of two or more covering segments that are axially aligned. The system includes a link that selectively transmits rotation between two adjacent coverage thereby allowing the two coverings to be controlled, e.g., raised or lowered, simultaneously. The link includes a clutch that allows one of the segments to be rotated with respect to the other so that the bottom end of one of the coverings can be adjusted and aligned horizontally independently of the other. Optionally, the clutch includes an internal member that provides a mechanical advantage while the one covering is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 7386961
    Abstract: A bracket comprises a mounting base, a landing riser attached to the mounting base, a landing attached to the landing riser, a slot-defining structure riser attached to the mounting base and a slot-defining structure attached to the slot-defining structure riser. A first landing surface of the landing is parallel to at least a portion of a first mounting base surface of the mounting base. A slot is defined between first and second slot-defining surfaces of the slot-defining structure. The first slot-defining surface is parallel to the first landing surface. A method of making a bracket, comprises forming a unitary element and bending the unitary element to produce a bracket. A method of mounting a rooftop element on a rooftop structure comprises attaching at least two brackets to the rooftop structure, and positioning a rooftop element on the brackets. A rooftop array comprises a rooftop structure, a plurality of brackets attached to the rooftop structure and a plurality of rooftop elements.

  • Patent number: 6598843
    Abstract: An extendable bracket assembly for supporting hardware components has a mounting base with a base plate. The base plate has an attachment side for mounting the base plate to a surface and has a support side opposite the attachment side. A base support element extends from the support side of the base plate. A first extension part has a first body with a proximal end adjacent the mounting base and a first extension support element that extends from an opposite distal end of the first body. The first extension part can be removed from and reattached to the base support element to adjust the bracket length as needed. The base support element is exposed when the first extension part is removed. The extendable bracket assembly can include a plurality of like extension parts to further increase the bracket length.

  • Patent number: 4967991
    Abstract: A curtain support system having a wall mounted bracket which has an outwardly extending bracket arm, and a mating curtain rod arm connected to or integral with a curtain rod. The rod arm and bracket arm are capable of being adjusted so that the curtain rod can assume positions which vary in distance from the supporting wall or window to which the bracket arm is attached. The bracket arm has a rack comprised of a series of slots formed on the upper edge thereof, and the rod arm has a bar which fits into each of the slots in the bracket arm. The bar, which is located along the top edge of the rod arm, cooperates with a stop on the lower edge of the rod arm to allow upward rotation of the rod arm, while limiting downward rotation. The bracket arm and rod arm have complementary interfitting C-shaped cross-sections which provide lateral stability to the system.
