ABSTRACT:
An environmental strip curtain holding apparatus for suspending a plurality of flexible transparent strips forming a curtain includes a bar suitable for mounting to fixed structure adjacent to a location requiring the presence of a strip curtain. A plurality of pegs are coupled to the bar, each peg including a stalk extending outwardly from the bar. A cap is fixed to a distal end of the stalk spaced by a pre-selected distance from the bar. Each cap is generally symmetric with respect to the stalk to which the cap is fixed and has an outermost edge that is ovate to circular. The outermost edge of the cap is sized greater than the stalk to which the cap is fixed and greater than supporting holes in the strips forming the strip curtain. The distal outer surface of the cap diminishes in size from the outermost edge of the cap toward a distal extremity of the cap in such a way as to facilitate the elastic stretching of the holes in each strip to a size sufficient to permit the strip to be forced over the outermost edge of the cap.
