  • Patent number: 11712127
    Abstract: Curtain hook assemblies are disclosed that include backing plates secured to a curtain and curtain hooks rotatably mounted on the backing plates. The curtain hooks can rotate from flat positions against the curtain during packaging to extended positions for hanging on a curtain rod. A lower hook may optionally be integrally or rotatably attached to the backing plate.

  • Publication number: 20200121111
    Abstract: Curtain grommets that can be easily installed on curtain rods are described. Each grommet includes a front split ring and a rear split ring forming a grommet split at the top that is aligned with a split or gap in the curtain at or above the grommet. Each split grommet is sufficiently flexible to allow the grommet to be installed on the rod without the necessity of stringing the grommets from the end of the rod or removing the rod from its mounting brackets. A liner hook may be attached to the bottom of the split grommet, for example, on the rear ring, and may be rotatable from an extended position for supporting a curtain liner to a flattened or stowed position for packaging, storage and transportation.

  • Patent number: 9770138
    Abstract: Shower caddies with vertically and horizontally movable baskets are disclosed. Each basket is independently adjustable by a mechanism including a front plate, a rear plate and a draw fastener, which allows the user to adjust both the vertical and horizontal position of the basket from a single control point for simple and easy operation. The shower caddies may also include a tilt-resisting locking mechanism that resists rotation of the caddies when supporting an uneven load.

  • Publication number: 20170079458
    Abstract: Window curtain tension rod assemblies that include a telescoping rod and two bracket assemblies each including a support arm and a mounting bracket are disclosed. Each support arm may include a first end receiving an end of the curtain rod, a second end, and a U-shaped section between the first and second ends. The mounting bracket may be attached to the second end, and include a contact pad for engaging an interior sidewall of a window frame. The U-shaped section provides a curtain overlap region when a curtain is drawn onto the U-shaped section of the support arm from the curtain rod. At least one of the bracket assemblies may include a tension adjusting mechanism to move an end of the curtain rod away from the bracket assembly to thereby force the mounting bracket against the sidewalls of the window frame.
