Track and curtain system
A modular track system for hanging a curtain, the track system consisting of modules or sections with attachments and accessories designed to adjust to varying environments and specifications. Track shape and length are adjusted by specifying various combinations of the specialized components created as part of the system. Complementing the track system is a curtain with integrated loop fasteners which allows the curtain to be attached and removed without removing the track. The system further preferably includes a side support for use in attached the track to a fixed support in the environment, and a guiderail on the side of the track on one or more track sections, the track and curtain all being coordinated to form an efficient and improved curtain hanging system.
1. An article of manufacture, comprising:
a curtain;
said curtain comprising a first opening and a second opening;
said first opening comprising a first C-shaped ring;
said second opening comprising a second C-shaped ring;
said first opening and said second opening being in communication such that there is an open path in said curtain between said first opening and said second opening;
said first C-shaped ring comprising a first extension to form a first G-shaped ring, and
said second C-shaped ring comprising a second extension to form a second G-shaped ring;
wherein said first extension is parallel to said open path, and said second extension is parallel to said open path.
2. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said curtain has a first side and a second side, and wherein each of said rings is a double ring, said double ring comprising two rings that sandwich said curtain, said two rings being a first ring attached to and parallel to said first side of said curtain, and a second ring attached to and parallel to said second side of said curtain.
3. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said ring is sized and shaped to move over a guiderail of a track, when said curtain slides along the track.
4. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the guiderail has a top and bottom surface, and wherein said extension moves beneath the bottom surface of the guiderail when said curtain slides along the track.
5. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said ring is sized and shaped to move over a side support of a track, when said curtain slides along the track.
6. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said ring is sized and shaped to move over a guiderail of a track and a side support of the track, when said curtain slides along the track.
7. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first extension projects inward toward said first opening, and said second extension projects inward toward said second opening.
8. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first extension projects into a first mouth of said first G-shaped ring, and wherein said second extension projects into a second mouth of said second G-shaped ring.
9. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first G-shaped ring comprises a third extension in addition to said first extension, and wherein said second G-shaped ring comprises a fourth extension in addition to said second extension.
10. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 : wherein said first extension projects inward, into a first mouth of said first G-shaped ring, and also projects outward, away from said first mouth of said G-shaped ring;
and wherein said second extension projects inward, into a second mouth of said second G-shaped ring, and also projects outward, away from said second mouth of said second G-shaped ring.
11. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first extension and said second extension are straight.
12. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first extension and said second extension are each parallel to the ground when said curtain hangs on a track.
13. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first extension and said second extension are curved.
14. An article of manufacture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first G-shaped ring has a notch in a first mouth of said first G-shaped ring, and wherein said second G-shaped ring has a notch in a second mouth of said second G-shaped ring.
