A drape has a longitudinal pocket on two or both sides of the drape, A stabilizer is placed within the pocket and extends the length of the pocket. The stabilizer is supported by a drapery support such as a rod or track in a manner which enables the panel to move along the drapery support from a closed, drawn position to an open, slacked position. The stabilizer is supported by the drapery support and is free to move within the pocket. The stabilizer prevents the drape from flaring at the bottom. A wand may be attached to the stabilizer or to a carrier or other assembly to which the stabilizer is attached.

A wirelessly controllable, motorized and battery powered drapery apparatus is presented having a rotatable drive element having a guide structure in its surface. The rotatable drive is inserted through the open interior of a plurality of tabs in the shade material. A grommet driver is positioned over the rotatable drive element and connected to one of the plurality of tabs. The grommet driver has at least one tooth that is in communication with the guide structure in the rotatable drive element. As the rotatable drive element is rotated, the grommet drive is driven along the length of the rotatable drive element thereby moving the shade material between an open position and a closed position.

A magnetic shower curtain system that maintains a shower curtain in place along opposing shower enclosure walls. The magnetic shower curtain system includes a shower rod assembly, a mounting assembly, and a shower curtain assembly. The shower curtain assembly includes a plurality of shower rings. The shower rings are placed on a shower rod, connected to a shower curtain, and slid along the shower rod. The shower rings include a first outer shower ring and a second outer shower ring. One of: (1) the first outer shower ring and the second outer shower ring, and (2) a first outer end and a second outer end of the shower rod or the mounting assembly, includes a magnet. The other of: (1) the first outer shower ring and the second outer shower ring, and (2) the first outer end and the second outer end of the shower rod or the mounting assembly, includes a magnet or a magnetically attractable material. The shower curtain is maintained in place along the opposing shower enclosure walls by attraction of the magnet to the other magnet or magnetically attractable material.

A wirelessly controllable, motorized and battery powered drapery apparatus is presented having a rotatable drive element having a guide structure in its surface. The drapery apparatus includes brackets that house conventional batteries which power the apparatus. The brackets connect to a motor assembly which houses a motor and a motor controller. The rotatable drive element includes at least one key feature in its hollow interior. The guide structure is indexed to the key feature such that two rotatable drive elements can be connected together in such a manner that the guide structure is aligned on the two rotatable drive elements ensuring that the shade material opens and closes evenly.

A drape has a longitudinal pocket on one or both sides of the drape. A stabilizer is placed within the pocket and extends the length of the pocket. The stabilizer is supported by a drapery support such as a rod or track in a manner which enables the panel to move along the drapery support from a closed, drawn position to an open, stacked position. The stabilizer is supported by the drapery support and is free to move within the pocket. The stabilizer prevents the drape from flaring at the bottom. A wand may be attached to the stabilizer or to a carrier or other assembly to which the stabilizer is attached.
