ABSTRACT:
A drapery holder releasably engages a header jamb of a window. A vertical front wall and back wall are disposed in parallel relation to one another and are interconnected to one another by a horizontal bottom wall. Co-planar horizontal flanges are formed integrally with the front wall and the back wall and extend toward one another. Respective inboard ends of the horizontal flanges are spaced apart from one another to capture drapery carriers that are slideable along the extent of the horizontal flanges under the control of a drapery control apparatus. A channel is formed by the horizontal bottom wall and respective upper ends of the front and back walls and a plurality of magnets is positioned within the channel. Each magnet magnetically engages ferrous materials that form a part of the header jamb so that the drapery holder is releasably secured to the header jamb by a magnetic field.
