ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to a new and useful adjustable and reversible drape and rod assembly that incorporates small hanging rings sewed at or near the seams of folded pleats spaced along the top portion of the drape, which drape then can be easily hung or removed from special movable hanging hooks extending from a specially designed rod and moveable hook holder therein, and sewed on the initial rear side of a drape so that the rings are not visable when viewed from the front. The specially designed moveable hook holders permit each pair of roller wheels to rotate freely around a tubular axle and the axle to rotate freely within both roller wheels and also within the spacer separating the wheels thus permitting improved maximum mobility of the hook holders desirable and necessary for heavier reversible drape and rod assemblies. By the insertion of an open eyelet in the drape immediately above the point at which the hanging ring is sewed to the drape, the drape can be reversed by merely pushing the hanging ring through the eyelet to the other side of the drape so that what was initially the rear of the drape now becomes the front, and the hanging rings remain not visable when viewed from the front.
As will be further disclosed in the specifications, it can be seen that not only is the present adjustable drape and rod assembly simple and economical to make and use, easy to install or remove, secure and certain in operation, non-distructive to the fabric of the material for hanging purposes and non-injurious to the person assemblying and hanging them, and also easily becoming reversible; a combination of important attributes long needed and sought after by drapery designers and manufacturers and particularly the users, normally housewives, who in the final analysis must either make or buy them, but always must install, maintain and remove them.
