ABSTRACT:
A traverse rod having pulley cases at each end for the operation of a draw cord is supported by a plurality of suspension brackets intermediate of the rod ends. The pulley cases serve only as supports for the pulleys and not also as supports for the rod, and, therefore, they are of lighter than usual construction. The draw cord exits from one pulley case in the form of a loop in a direction horizontally rearwardly from the pulley case and passes over a pair of pulleys mounted adjacent to the supporting wall, whereby tension on the draw cord adds negligible strain to the support requirements of the brackets. Heavy and thick curtains are supported without disproportionate increase in size and/or strength of the rod and support components as compared to conventional rods.
