Abstract: A multiple-line soffit system for supporting wall and window coverings such as blinds or draperies. The system is constituted by a series of interlocked modules having planar faces which extend from the perimeter wall into the room area, the modules being supported from an overhead structure by hooks or other means. Each module serving as a supporting fixture for a window or wall covering is provided with a recessed channel having a narrow entrance defined by a fixed ledge and a gate spaced from the ledge to create a linear slit extending the full length of the module. The ledge and gate lie flush with the face of the module to provide a surface free of projections. The gate is adapted to swing inwardly to admit a head piece, control cords and rollers or whatever other hardware is entailed, whereby to install a covering, all that need be done is to lift the gate to permit insertion of the hardware into the channel, the gate then being returned to its normal position to entrap the hardware.
