  • Patent number: 12096872
    Abstract: A system for supporting a privacy curtain includes a swing arm wall mount and a swing arm that are coupled together. An end stop cap support may engage the swing arm when the swing arm is in a closed position. The swing arm wall mount allows the swing arm to rotate when the swing arm is in an open position and when the swing arm is not engaged with the end stop cap support. An end stop cap may couple with the swing arm. The end stop cap engages the end stop cap when the swing arm is in the closed position. And the end stop cap does not engage the end stop cap support when the swing arm is in an open position. The swing arm may comprise a pin at one end, wherein the pin engages the swing arm wall mount.

  • Patent number: 11191383
    Abstract: A hanging material (i.e. privacy curtain) support system may include a coupling device, a ceiling mount assembly, and hanging material support tubing. The coupling device may include a removable guide section. The removable guide section may facilitate proper alignment of the coupling device to the hanging material support tubing. If the coupling device is not properly aligned and fixed with the support tubing, the support tubing may not be provided in a level state for allowing support attachment members (i.e.—C-shaped hooks) to flow/move freely across the support tubing. When the support tubing is not secured/fixed in a level state, the attachment members may not move/slide properly across the support tubing which would degrade the operation of the entire system (i.e.—moving a hanging material—i.e. privacy curtain—from open to closed states and vice-versa).
