The present application provides a roller bearing system comprising one or more bearings having a plurality of substantially hemispherical members. Each member includes an interior. A sleeve is disposed within each hemispherical member interior and configured to accept a shaft that passes through each hemispherical member, such that the hemispherical member turns about the shaft. Each also includes at least one stem coupled to the shaft. The stem is configured to provide a point of attachment to a particular bearing.

A curtain hanger for hanging a curtain. The curtain hanger can be inserted into a pocket of a curtain. The curtain hanger can include a plurality of teeth or barbs that engage vertical stitches and/or pleats at edges of the pocket to hold the curtain hanger in the pocket. The teeth can be arranged at different widths and/or different angles such that the curtain hanger can be pinched to fit into pockets of different widths. The teeth can also be angled upwardly such that a tugging force on the curtain spreads the teeth apart and forces them into stronger engagement with the vertical stitches and/or pleats at the edges of the pocket.

A shower curtain and series of clips or hooks integral therewith. The clips are single pre-fabricated members including a lower/shower curtain portion and upper/hanger portion. The shower curtain portion retains a shower curtain while the hanger portion attaches to a shower curtain rod. The shower curtain portion may be square-shaped, rectangular or the like and may be received by, and substantially encapsulated by, an internal space defined by layers of shower curtain material at an upper edge thereof. The shower curtain portion is configured to fit onto a shower curtain rod. Advantageously, when attached to the shower curtain rod using the series of clips described herein, the shower curtain is substantially flat or flush relative to the shower curtain rod and/or the clips are concealed in part or completely from a position outside of the shower/bathtub. A shower curtain liner may be attached to the shower curtain.

A mounting is disclosed for securing in place a sheet (56) which constitutes a liner, cover or curtain. The sheet has an elongate attachment zone (60) which is thicker than the material of the sheet. The mounting including a clip (10.2) which is formed with an elongate hollow portion (12) having a longitudinal slit (14) along the length thereof. The attachment zone of the sheet is in the hollow portion of the clip with the sheet emerging from the clip through the slit. A cord (62) is connected to a lashing point (64). The clip (10.2) has a passageway (40) through which the cord (62) passes thereby to attach the clip and the attachment zone to the lashing point.

An example holder apparatus includes a body portion and a gate portion. The body portion includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall that opposes the first sidewall to form a channel therebetween. The gate portion is, at least in use, physically coupled to the second sidewall of the body portion and movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The gate portion includes a cross-channel member that, when the gate portion is in the closed configuration, extends across an entire width of the channel to physically engage a channel-facing surface of the first sidewall or a portion of an object held between the cross-channel member and the channel-facing surface of the first sidewall. An example kit for a holder apparatus includes a body portion and a gate portion. The gate portion is selectively physically coupleable to the body portion via a snap fit.
