ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for hanging and removing various styles of shades and curtains such as Roman, Austrian, balloon, or cloud type shades or curtains. The apparatus comprises a hanging bracket, which can either be attached to a wall above a window or within the window box itself, and a hanging grid which, when tilted, can be inserted within the bracket and supported by the bracket's lower flanges. The hanging grid typically takes the form of a coarse metallic screen which comprises a plurality of interwoven heavy gage wires. In use, individual draw cords are threaded through the grid at one of its ends and at discrete predetermined positions along the length of the grid which correlate to string paths provided in the shade or curtain to be hung. Once each individual cord is threaded through the grid at the proper position, it can be passed through the adjacent series of loops provided along the string paths to secure the shade or curtain. To simplify the installation process, the strings can be secured at their ends with quick release cord stops. So described, the system can be used to quickly and easily remove existing shades or curtains and replace them with new and different style shades or curtains without having to use different mounting apparatus or reconfigure the existing mounting apparatus and without the need of tools.
