Abstract: A cord lock for a venetian blind lift cord; having a housing with two side walls in spaced, substantially parallel relationship to each other, each side wall being provided with an oblong window with the windows in alignment with each other. A cam extends in the housing through the windows and is slidably and non-removably received in the windows. Each side wall also is provided with an elongated slot extending essentially vertically and at an angle with respect to the window, the slots being in alignment with each other. A cord glide body is non-rotatably but slidably received in the slots. The cord lock enables a lift cord passed in the housing over the cord glide body and between the cord glide body and the cam to be releasably locked therebetween.

Abstract: A decorative ceiling or wall covering system having carriers to be affixed to the ceiling or wall, and panels extending essentially transversely to the carriers. Tabs are integrally provided on each carrier for connecting the panels thereto, and are respectively located at opposite longitudinal marginal portions of the carrier at predetermined substantially equal distances and shaped to hold the panels in place on the carrier.

Abstract: A holder or clip for supporting a valance in front or around a venetian blind head, with a flat sheet metal body having prongs for holding the valance and having tabs or an especially shaped body portion for connection to the blind head.

Abstract: A venetian blind has a blind head and slats, brackets for supporting the blind head, and a frame having side channel members to receive the ends of the slats. Clip means connect both the bracket to window opening structure and to the side channel members.

Abstract: A clip for attaching a filler strip to a channel for suspending ceiling panels, including prongs for holding the filler strip.

Abstract: A support for supporting ceiling panels in a space having two non-parallel walls, including at least two channels arranged parallel to and spaced from each other, at least two telescopic channels respectively received in the two channels in a plurality of positions to vary the length thereof between the two non-parallel walls, and at least two panel holders supported on the two telescopic channels. The position of the respective panel holder may be varied along the telescopic channel so that ceiling panels may be suspended therefrom so that the space between the non-parallel walls can be essentially evenly divided by the appropriate distribution of the ceiling panels to thereby reduce the appearance of non-parallelity of the walls and ceiling panels.
