Hang-it-all curtain system

Abstract

An improved, simpler, and more cost effective method for hanging multiple layers of curtaining with reduced damage to the casement of a window or of the walls around a window. An e-shaped hook (1) wraps around an existing bracket (3) utilized to hang a primary curtain rod. The hook (1) then extends down from the bracket (3) ending in a lateral prong at a right angle to the bracket (3) and perpendicular to the original curtain rod, pointing toward the center of the window. This prong is then inserted into the aperture of a telescoping rod with an internal spring adjustment referred to as a spring tension rod (2). The spring tension rod (2), due to its internal spring, allows for the rod to be inserted onto the hook (1) and be released from the hook (1) without the removal of the hook (1) from the bracket (3).

Claims

1. A system for hanging curtains comprising: a. two e-shaped hooks, each e-shaped hook comprising: a middle section that bends back 180 degrees to form an upper section, the upper section bending to form a downward arm running perpendicular to the upper and middle sections, the downward arm bending at a right angle to form a prong running parallel with the upper and middle sections; b. a telescoping rod device comprising a spring tension rod which is supported by the prongs of said e-shaped hooks; c. two brackets of a separate and independent curtain rod assembly which are each received between the middle and upper sections of one of the said e-shaped hooks; and whereby subsequent layers of curtaining to that of a main curtain assembly are hung on the brackets via the telescoping rod device and e-shaped hooks, without requiring the use of nails, screws, or other securing means.

2. The system for hanging curtains according to claim 1, wherein said middle and upper sections of said e-shaped hooks are each bent to correspond to a dimension of their respective bracket.

3. The system for hanging curtains according to claim 1, wherein said e-shaped hooks are made of a material that is able to maintain its shape and support the weight of standard curtaining material.

4. The system for hanging curtains according to claim 1, wherein said telescoping rod device is configured with one rod inserted into a second rod of a slightly larger dimension.

5. The system for hanging curtains according to claim 4, wherein an internal spring allows for measured adjustment of said telescoping rod.

6. The system for hanging curtains according to claim 4, wherein ends of said telescoping rod are hollow.

7. The system for hanging curtains according to claim 6, wherein the prongs of said e-shaped hooks are inserted into the hollow ends of the said telescoping rod.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(11) In reference to FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b, the e-shaped hook 1 is shown with the upper portion looping back on itself 180 degrees allowing it to be wrapped around the bracket continuing with a downward arm running perpendicular to the upper portion which then turns at a right angle running parallel with the upper portion creating a prong.

(12) FIG. 2a shows the bracket 3 is shown with the e-shaped hook 1 wrapping around said bracket 3.

(13) FIG. 2b shows an outside perspective of the primary curtain bracket 3 with the e-shaped hook 1 slid onto it and the prong inserted into the spring tension rod 2.

(14) FIG. 3a and FIG. 3b shows an oblique perspectives of a supplemental main curtain bracket 4 with two e-shaped hooks 1 inserted into two spring tension rods 2 from opposite directions.

OPERATION

FIG. 2a, 2b, 3

(15) This system works in tandem with a previously hung rod that uses brackets to secure said rod to a window casement or wall. The e-shaped hook of the Hang-It-All Curtain System slides onto the brackets on either side of the window with the lower prong pointing in the direction of the center of the window as per FIG. 2a. The spring tension rod is adjusted as per the instructions on the use of said rod to the distance between the back side of the e-shaped hook. The spring tension rod is compressed to allow the apertures of the rod to receive the prongs within it. The spring tension rod is released allowing the spring tension of the rod to maintain itself onto the hooks as per FIG. 2b.

(16) For larger windows that require additional brackets, two e-shaped hooks are slid onto the brackets with the prongs pointing in opposite directions as per FIG. 3a and FIG. 3b.

CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE

(17) Accordingly, the reader will see that the Hang-It-All Curtain System is a simpler and more cost effective way to hang multiple layers of curtaining. The use of the e-shaped hook allows for easy installation without the need for screws or clamps. The shape of the hook by a continuous wire creates a more secure way to hang the supplemental rod reducing the risk of breakage through t. When used with the spring tension rod, the spring tension holds the rod in place on the hook further reducing the risk of the curtains falling. This system also greatly increases the ease of removing and rehanging curtains. This is achieved by the compression of the spring tension rod allowing for this ease of use without having to take the hooks off the bracket.
