  • Patent number: 8316508
    Abstract: The removable track and hanger system is mounted on horizontal tent frame members. The tent frame includes horizontal and vertical frames for supporting the overlaid tent fabric. The track and hanger system includes a track bar removably hung from a horizontal frame member by a complementary shaped inverted J-shaped hangers. The track bar includes a track bar channel, an open mouth and an interior cavity. A eyelet hangers protrude from the track bar because a capture element (roller wheel, ball or glide element) is located in the cavity and a downward eyelet extender has an eyelet hole into which is clipped a clip hook from the tent sidewall. When clipped onto the hanger track, the tent sidewall can move horizontally along the track. The throw or horizontal movement of the tent sidewall is limited by stops at one or more predetermined stop locations.

  • Publication number: 20120246872
    Abstract: The present application discloses means for vertically mounting curtains for easy traverse utilizing an easily mountable bendable track for providing an adjustable path for traverse and flexible carriers which are readily affixable to the bendable track at any point in its length and traverse the bendable track under the load of a supported curtain with a minimum of noise. It discloses a bendable track with both a top and a bottom rib, each of which has a horizontal ledge and a curved profile extending from each ledge away from the main body of the rail and a roller free carrier which can be elastically expanded to snap over the lower horizontal ledge of the track. It further discloses that the surface of the horizontal ledge as well as the ends of the carrier are made of materials having a low coefficient of sliding friction such as exhibited by ABS, nylon, PVC and polyacetal and that the ends of the carrier have a surface with an arcuate surface which is adapted to ride on the lower horizontal ledge.

  • Patent number: 7377011
    Abstract: A curtain wave forming mechanism is constituted of curtain runners and a curtain hook attached to each curtain runner and hanging a curtain. The curtain hook is a separate body from a curtain tape and has a flat plate-like body section inserted into a hook insertion hole section of the curtain tape perpendicular to the length direction of a curtain rail, a foot section bent upward at the lower end central part of the body section and hooked to the hook insertion hole section, a shaft section extending from the upper central part of the body section, and a head section for insertion, formed on the head of the shaft section. A curtain runner has a body running in the curtain rail, a leg section hanging from the curtain rail, a hollow-cylindrical body supported at the leg section so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis of the leg section, and a bearing section for an insertion hook, supported at the hollow-cylindrical body.

  • Patent number: 6189182
    Abstract: A guiding block for pulling a window curtain comprises a pulling plate, a left wheel seat, a plurality of rolling balls, and a right wheel seat. A confining cap is formed between the right wheel seat and the rolling balls. The primary body of the confining cap is a circular plate with a through hole on the center thereof. Claws with respective to the gaps between each two rolling balls are axially extended from the circular plate on the inner side of the confining cap. Not only the rolling action is smooth, but also the friction and collision between two rolling balls is prevented. Other then noises from frictions and collisions are reduced, the lifetime of the window curtain is prolonged. The circular groove of the convex tube on the right wheel seat is enforced into the rib on the inner rim of the convex tube on the left wheel seat so as to form a buckling state for combining the left wheel seat. Thus, sliding therebetween is seldom occurred and the stability of the combination thereof is increased.
