Retrofit curtain assembly
A curtain assembly for hanging a shortened, lighter curtain from existing curtain ceiling tracks. The assembly uses adjustable height hangers to connect the commercially available track to existing curtain systems and a lightweight disposable curtain to hang therefrom. The brackets to attach the track to the room walls and one bracket allows for the vertical insertion of the curtain hooks onto the track. A quick load bracket gathers the curtain hooks for vertical installation through the brackets. The curtain can be installed simply and quickly by one person without a ladder.

SHOWER CURTAIN RING
The device for supporting a shower curtain includes a support rod with a first curvature, a hook attached to the support rod, and a sheath body with a second curvature. The sheath body can be opened and closed independent from the support rod. The first curvature matches the second curvature so that the support rod is at least partially housed within the sheath body. The sheath body further includes a plurality of notches radially arranged according to the second curvature. The invention further includes a plurality of wheel cams with each wheel cam being rotatably mounted around the support rod and positioned within a corresponding notch of the sheath body. When installed on a curtain rod, the wheel cams contact the surface of the curtain rod so that wheel cams can roll over any ridge or junction on the curtain rod.
Suspension aid for suspending an object from a tube
A suspension aid 1 has a frame 3a, 3b and two curved arms 5, 7 rotatably connected thereto. The frame is provided with two pivot axes 9 about which the arms are rotatable. Between the arms there is a transmission element 11 which is slidable in the frame. A suspension element 13 to which an object can be suspended is attached to the transmission element. The arms are rotatably connected to the frame near a first end 5a, 7a and are provided with a toothing 17, 19. The transmission element is provided with two toothed racks 21, 23 which are in engagement with the toothings. The transmission element is provided with a contact surface 29 which, when the suspension aid is around the tube, comes into contact with the tube and stops the transmission element, whereby the frame moves with respect to the transmission element and thereby rotate the two arms with their free ends towards each other.

Hangable Apparatus and Systems and Methods Therefor
A track hanger (100) includes a hook (103) and an extension (104), a base member (102), and a key (403). The key is detachable from the hook, and the base member is detachable from the extension. The key can include a first major surface (401) and a second major surface (402). The first major surface can define one or more barbs (404) that facilitate one-way insertion of the key into a track (106).

Arrangement in connection with a curtain rod
An apparatus for a curtain rod that is attachable to a ceiling or to a wall and that possesses graspable holders slidable along a sliding rod of the curtain rod and supportable by the same, which graspable holders have devices for holding a curtain. The curtain rod has a ledge-shaped holder base extending along the length of the curtain rod, through which screws are received for fastening the holder base against the ceiling or wall. From the holder base, a ledge-shaped neck extends that supports the sliding rod. An obtuse angle is formed between the holder base and neck, in the space formed between the wall or ceiling where the curtain rod is fastened. At the top, the holders have flanges, at least one flange of which is shape-adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the sliding rod and possibly to spring apart from the other flange.
