024716000 | HANGER ON PORTABLE ARTICLE SUPPORT FOR MANUAL ATTACHMENT THEREOF TO OVERHEAD SUPPORT (E.G., DRAPERY HOOK) | 13 |
20090165269 | Self-Locking Hook - A self-locking hook for supporting a load on a support surface is disclosed. The hook has a relatively rigid C-shaped body which includes a surface defining an opening for accommodating a support component and a connector having a load bearing or attachment point. The surface of the opening includes a first contact area and a second contact area. The load bearing or attachment point is attached to the body relative to the opening such that application of a load at the load bearing point while the first contact area is contacting a component rotates the body about the first contact area until the second contact area abuts the component. This self-locking feature allows the hook to be used effectively on component surfaces which are at almost any angle or slope relative to horizontal. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172930 | Fixing Rail for an Elongate Object - A rail which can be bound, by means of a strap, to an elongate object, in particular a cable harness or a line, and has a bearing surface, which is intended to rest against the object, and a binding surface , which is directed away from the bearing surface and accommodates the strap. The binding surface has a plurality of protrusions which are compliant in the direction transverse to this surface. A strap arranged at any desired location of the binding surface is positioned transversely over one or more protrusions, in which case these protrusions are pressed down. Adjacent protrusions which have not been pressed down are located on one side and/or the other, and these resist the lateral displacement of the strap. | 07-09-2009 |
20100018019 | Pleat-forming drapery clip ring - A drapery clip ring for hanging drapery on a drapery rod, the drapery clip ring including a ring arranged to receive the drapery rod therethrough, a gripping means connected to and extending away from the ring, and a pleat endoskeleton connected to and extending away from the ring, the pleat endoskeleton being arranged proximate the gripping means, wherein the pleat endoskeleton is adapted to provide an internal framework of a pleat formed in the drapery, and the gripping means is operatively arranged to secure the pleat formed in the drapery. | 01-28-2010 |
20100125987 | CURTAIN CARRIER FOR DRAPING A CURTAIN FROM A CURTAIN ROD - Some embodiments of the invention provide curtain carriers that are attachable to a top portion of a curtain and slidably engageable with a curtain rod for draping the curtain from the curtain rod. The curtain carriers are slidably removable from the curtain rod such that the curtain together with the curtain carriers attached therewith can be removed from the curtain rod. This allows the curtain together with the curtain carriers attached therewith to be washed. A clean curtain with curtain carriers attached therewith can be slidably attached to the curtain rod. In this manner, a dirty or contaminated curtain can be replaced without any hooking or unhooking of the curtain from hooks that are used in existing approaches to drape curtains. Therefore, difficulties traditionally associated with replacing a dirty or contaminated curtain can be mitigated or avoided. | 05-27-2010 |
