  • Patent number: 8186509
    Abstract: A hanger is provided for mounting a curtain rod, such as a shower curtain tension rod, on a display. The hanger includes a body and a resilient collar, pivotally connected to the body, for engaging the rod in a “snap-fit” fashion. The body has a first opening adapted to receive the curtain rod end and a second opening adapted to be engaged by a prong of the display, to mount the curtain rod on the display. The curtain rod end may include a part, such as a finial, with an exterior surface having a contour. The first opening has a shape substantially corresponding to that contour. The second opening preferably includes three recesses such that conventional single prong and double prong displays can be accommodated.

  • Patent number: 6317904
    Abstract: A plurality of fasteners are arranged along opposite edges of the shower curtain. Each fastener includes a mounting strip with a body portion which carries a pair of integral suction cups. The strip is heat sealed to the curtain material. In particular, a peripheral edge, thinner than the body portion, is formed during the heat sealing process. A passage or opening through the body portion acts as a guide during the heat sealing process and permits air trapped during sealing or water trapped during use to escape from behind the mounting strip.
