ABSTRACT:
A self-supporting curtain and valance assembly for direct mounting onto a single curtain rod or shower-bath support, installed in juxtaposition with a window, door, shower-bath area or the like, is disclosed. The assembly (10) includes a curtain subassembly (20), functional in various configurations. The curtain (20) has a number of first coupling subunits (30) secured to the inside surface (26) of the flap of the curtain. The flap has a number of second coupling subunits (32) secured to its inside surface. The flap can be engaged and looped around a curtain rod or support and attached to itself by the first and second coupling subunits for self-supporting the curtain subassembly on the rod without the need for separate, independently added hooks or the like. The curtain has a plurality of third coupling subunits (36) fixed to the outside surface (28) of the flap. The assembly further includes a valance subassembly (40) having a number of fourth coupling subunits (50) attached to its inside surface (46), allowing the valance to be optionally attached to the curtain by coupling the fourth subunits of the valance with the third subunits of the curtain for self-support of curtain and valance on a single curtain support. The curtain has a porous trim section (56) through which the third and fourth subunits couple; and a shear subassembly (60) mounted over the curtain rod and pressed and molded between the first and second curtain subunits to support the shear within the curtain.
