Curtain pleat apparatuses comprise a cylindrical body with a passage therethrough longitudinally, and one or a pair of connectors on terminal ends thereof. The connectors are configured to connect to ringlets within a curtain, thereby maintaining a pleat within a curtain as it hangs on a curtain rod. A plurality of apparatuses maintains a plurality of regularly sized and shaped pleats within the curtain.

A ribbon-type device effects undulation of a curtain for gathering the same in the vertical or horizontal direction. A functional unit comprises two tapes of fabric, each of which extends in an undulating manner to form a plurality of alternating positively and negatively curved arcs. An arc of positive curvature of a first fabric tape is set so as to oppose an arc of negative curvature of a second fabric tape and an arc of negative curvature of the first fabric tape is set so as to oppose an arc of positive curvature of the second fabric tape. The two fabric tapes are joined to each other at each transition between an arc of positive curvature and an arc of negative curvature by means of tie-off stitching (tie-offs). A plurality of such tie-offs accommodate a pull cord of a curtain.

A hanger (100) for a hanging item (1400) is provided. The hanger can define an aperture (102). The aperture can include a split rotated concave cardioid upper contour (104). The split rotated concave cardioid upper contour can include a first portion (105) and a second portion (106). The first portion and the second portion can be separated by an inverted convex cardioid (109). The inverted convex cardioid can be suspended into the aperture by two concave sidewalls (112,113). The aperture can include an intersecting concave lower contour (114) comprising a cusp (117).

The present invention relates to a grommet spacer tool. More specifically, the spacer tool is a cylindrical or tubular shaped structure of a predeterminable length having a longitudinal slit. The longitudinal slit of the spacer tool allows the slit edges to be pulled apart to fit the spacer tool on a curtain rod/panel between consecutive or adjacent grommet rings of the curtains. Once the spacer tool is placed between the grommet rings, the spacer tool maintains a consistent gap between the grommet rings to maintain uniform, neat, and structured pleats, while obviating additional maintenance, adjustment, and upkeep to the curtain spacing.

A split curtain comprises a left panel having a left head portion configured to cooperate with a supporting structure and having a left leading edge; a right panel having a right head portion configured to cooperate with the supporting structure and having a right leading edge; a plurality of left magnets disposed along the left leading edge of the left panel at left vertical positions; and a plurality of right magnets disposed along the right leading edge of the right panel at right vertical positions, the right vertical positions being substantially the same as the left vertical positions.

The invention provides a header tape arrangement for a curtain. The arrangement is for causing a wave effect in the curtain. The arrangement has a base strip for attaching to the curtain, adjacent to and along an edge of the curtain. The base strip has a rear side for facing the curtain and a front side opposite the rear side. The arrangement includes a first strip having a plurality of spaced apart first attaching segments attached to the front side of the base strip along a length of the base strip, and a plurality of first pocket segments defined between the first attaching segments. Each of the first pocket segments having marked a pair of spaced apart first fastening points. The first pocket segments may be folded and the pairs of first fastening points may be brought and fastened together in pairs so as to cause the wave effect when the base strip is attached to the curtain.

A curtain holder apparatus including an integrated clip and ring that creates a pinch pleating effect, without having to sew the curtains or drapes.
