Abstract: An improved curtain guiding block structure may include a block body, a first wheel base, a second wheel base and a plurality of rolling balls. During the assembly process, the second wheel base is inserted into the circular hole of the block body from one side, and the first wheel base is inserted into the circular hole of the block body from the other side after the rolling balls are disposed therein; and the guiding post plugs into the through hole of the second wheel base to complete the assembly process without using any additional tools.
Abstract: An aircraft cabin curtain rail assembly kit includes a plurality of curtain rail components with linear curtain rail sections and curved curtain rail sections with an angle of curvature in a range of 0-90°. Each curtain rail component has a first end and a second end. On the first end, a recess for receiving a fixation protrusion of another curtain rail component is arranged and, on the second end, a fixation protrusion for inserting into a recess of another curtain rail component is present. The recess and the fixation protrusion include a fastening means for fixating the recess and the fixation protrusion relative to each other. Each curtain rail component includes a holder slit for attaching the respective curtain rail component to an object and a curtain slit for guiding curtain rail guiding means in the curtain rail component.

Abstract: A traverse rod system for manipulating one or more hanging objects is provided. The traverse rod system includes a hollow longitudinally extending tube having an opening that extends along an upper length of the tube as well as a number of rings that at least partially encircle the tube and that are directly or indirectly coupled with one or more hanging objects. A cord is suspended within the tube and secured by one or more cord carriers, each having a top portion that attaches to one of the rings and a bottom portion that is freely suspended through the opening and into the hollow tube such that other than the cord and the cord carriers, an interior of the hollow tube remains substantially free of structure relating to the traverse rod system. Movement of the cord causes the cord carriers to traverse an interior of the tube while the attached rings traverse an exterior of the tube. As a result, the hanging object(s) move in connection with the cord and the cord carriers in a desired direction or directions.

Abstract: A drapery master carrier for a drapery electric drive system is provided having a built-in wireless transmitter and a sensor to determine whether a manual pull is being applied to the drapes. The sensor is operatively connected to or incorporated into the wireless transmitter such that sensing by the sensor of a manual pull applied to the drapes will activate the wireless transmitter to transmit a signal to a motor drive controller receiver to drive the motor.
Abstract: A track and roller system for guiding and supporting a sliding tarpaulin for covering a flat-bed trailer and for supporting at least one light means. The track and roller system comprises a track for supporting for a plurality of rollers and a mounting bar. The rollers are connected to base portions of sliding supports for the tarpaulin. The track has at least one interlocking element. The mounting bar supports the at least one light means below the track. The mounting bar has an outwardly facing supporting portion for supporting the at least one light means and an interlocking portion connected to the supporting portion. The interlocking portion has at least one interlocking element for interlocking with the at least one interlocking element of the track.
Abstract: A new and useful traverse rod structure, designed to maintain or improve the functionality of a traverse rod, while improving the aesthetics of the traverse rod is provided. The traverse rod is designed to improve the functionality of the rod, while minimizing the risk of damaging the aesthetic features of the traverse rod as the hanging object is manipulated. Still further, the traverse rod is designed with an attractive and aesthetic external appearance. In addition, the traverse rod is designed to be efficient to assemble and operate. In its preferred form, a traverse rod comprises (a) a longitudinally extending tube having an opening extending along the tube, (b) a longitudinally extending track located within the tube, the track comprising a pair of substantially co-planar track sections with a gap therebetween, and (c) one or more moveable carriers each of which is configured to engage a wall covering. Each moveable carrier has a follower extending through the opening in the tube.

Abstract: A rigid, one piece mounting track with mounting and suspension slots for carrying multiple functional and decorative hangings simultaneously. The track has generally U-shaped construction with two vertical legs joined by a horizontal member. An elongated dowel holder forms the joint between one leg and the horizontal member. The other leg has inner and outer elongated slots for carrying mounting slides. The inner surface of the horizontal is also provided with a mounting slot for additional hangings.
Abstract: A curtain tab carrier assembly includes a rod having a pair of vertical flanges that form a channel therebetween. A guide is configured to slidably engage the pair of flanges along the channel. A carrier is secured to the guide and includes a base having a catch formed therein. A loop extends from the base over the rod. The curtain tab is positioned over the loop and is retained by a fabric retaining clip. The clip is hinged to the base and includes a locking tab formed therein. The locking tab engages the catch when the clip is in a closed position.
