Abstract

Abstract A curtain mounting apparatus for attaching curtains including drapes or other hanging fabrics to a curtain rod (14) comprises a slide member (16) arranged to slide on the curtain rod (14) and support an extension member (18) extending below the slide member (16) and curtain rod (14) and carrying a curtain attachment member (20) of which one end (54) is rotatably and removably mounted on the extension member (18) and the other end (56) is arranged for attachment of a curtain by the insertion of a pin member (66) through the curtain and through a hole (64) in said other end (56) of the curtain attachment member (20). Curtains may be removed from the apparatus by disengaging the pin members (66) from the curtain attachment member (20) and opening or closing of the curtain is facilitated by the ability of the curtain attachment members (20) to rotate freely in the extension members (18).
