ABSTRACT:
A strip curtain door is adapted for positioning across a door opening having a header with a curtain rod spanning the opening at the top thereof. Hanger brackets support the rod and are secured to the header. A series of spaced opposed pairs of arcuate clips are loosely mounted upon the rod, each clip having a depending finger. A series of upright flat flexible strips of plastic material have their adjacent edges overlapped, extend across the opening over the height thereof with upper portions of each strip projected between a plurality of the pairs of clips. A fastener extends between the fingers of each pair of clips and through the strips whereby the fingers of the clips compressively engage and support the strips. In a modification, one finger of each pair of clips has a transverse dimple, with the other finger having an opposing transverse hole therethrough. Securing of the clips together forms a dimple in the strip which is projected into the finger hole for interlock therewith. Another modified clip includes a pair of spaced fingers, there being a dimple in one finger of each clip and a hole in the other finger of each clip. The clips are symmetrical with the dimples of one finger projecting within the hole in the opposing finger forming a plurality of dimples in the strips which interlockingly project within corresponding opposing holes in the fingers. In another modification, each finger of each clip has a plurality of dimples and/or holes therein, which may be alternated with the other finger of each clip having an alternate arrangement of holes and dimples and wherein, the symmetrical clips when secured together in opposing registry form a plurality of projecting dimples in the flexibel strips compressively held therebetween by the clip fingers.
