ABSTRACT:
A special connector for use with a drapery headrail incorporates an attachment clamp for flexible tubular lighting devices at one end of the connector. At the opposite end the connector incorporated a protuberance or some other structure for removably interacting with the headrail (i.e., the protuberance snaps into a channel or groove on the head rail). The connector may also incorporate a clamp to grasp a valance and thus act as an improved valance clip which is removably attachable to the drapery headrail and to the valance and also incorporates a device to hold a length of flexible tube accent lighting. The clips may be readily rearranged on the head rail to prevent drooping of the flexible tube or to create complex patterns with the tube. The flexible tube may be readily removed for replacement of defective elements. Clips can be available in different configurations so that the accent lighting is most prominent on the valance, most prominent on the drapery or is even aimed upwards towards the ceiling. Modified head rails may incorporate a channel that acts as a clamp to hold the tubular accent lighting.
