  • 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).
