ABSTRACT:
A hospital curtain track system utilizing a track switch which permits the use of a single privacy curtain selectively for each of a pair of adjacent bed cubicles. The switch and tracks are of two types, one type being a recessed system installable flush with the underside of and as an integral part of an original ceiling installation, and another type being surface mounted installable upward against the underside of an existing ceiling. Self splicing cubicle tracks provide easy assembly and versatility in space planning. One track switch unit between each two bed environment splices directly with the cubicle track and eliminates extra connecting parts including one complete track leg resulting in minimal installation time and expense. The switch utilizes a pull-chain actuated toggle for shifting a horizontally shiftable switch section into alignment with the desired curtain track. Each curtain carrier utilizes a pair of canted wheels which in one embodiment are continuously engaged with and drive one another, both wheels being always engaged with the track to provide a low friction smooth riding non-jammable carrier.
