In another embodiment, the joining method of the at least one second pad 27 and the first support part 23 or the joining method of the at least one second pad 27 and the second support part 25 are not limited thereto. When the at least one second pad 27 is mounted on the top surface of the second support part 25, the at least one second pad 27 can prevent the noise caused by the friction of the inner top surface of the track 10 when the second support part 25 moves. When the at least one second pad 27 is mounted on the top surface of the side block 26, the at least one second pad 27 can avoid the noise caused by the friction of the inner side surface of the track 10 when the second support part 25 moves.

[0028] In the first and second embodiments, the material of the first and second pads 24, 27 includes felt. In another embodiment, the material of the first and second pads 24, 27 is not limited thereto. The first and second pads 24, 27 may be made of other soft materials as long as they do not affect the movement of the first support part 23 and the second support part 25.

[0029] In the first embodiment, one end of the suspension part 28 is connected to the first support part 23, and the suspension part 28 protrudes from the first support part 23 through the opening 11. A curtain A can be hung at one end of the suspension part 28 protruding from the opening 11. The suspension part 28 comprises a first piece body 281 and a second piece body 282. The first piece body 281 is connected to the first support part 23. The second piece body 282 is connected to the first piece body 281, and the second piece body 282 and the first piece body 281 are located in different imaginary planes. Therefore, when the second piece body 282 can be overlapped with the first piece body 281 of the other main hanging member 20, and the curtain A suspended on the two suspensions parts 28 can be overlapped, avoiding forming gaps between the two suspensions parts 28.

[0030] With reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the technical features of the second embodiment of the present invention are similar to the first embodiment, with the difference only in that, in the second embodiment, the suspension part 28A does not comprise the second piece body 282, and comprise a detachable connection part 283. The connection part 283 is connected to the first piece body 281A and comprises a through-hole 2831. The curtain A comprises a block, which makes a concave-convex relationship between the connection part 283 and curtain A, and the curtain A can be fixed on the suspension part 28A by the concave-convex relationship.

[0031] With reference to FIG. 4, the connection member 30 is connected to each one of the at least one main hanging member 20 and comprises at least one fastener 31 and a rope 32. Each one of the at least one fastener 31 is embedded in one of the recesses 232 of the first support part 23 of a respective one of the at least one main hanging member 20. The rope 32 is mounted through each one of the at least one fastener 31, so that the main hanging members 20 are connected to each other. In another embodiment, the connection of the main hanging members 20 is not limited thereto.

[0032] With reference to FIG. 4, the at least one auxiliary hanging member 40 is movably mounted in the accommodation space, and each auxiliary hanging member 40 penetrates through one of the first pads 24, and each auxiliary hanging member 40 comprises a head part 41 and an extending part 42. Each head part 41 is connected to one of the fasteners 31. In the first embodiment, the head part 41 comprises a hole 411, and the fastener 31 can be embedded in the hole 411. In another embodiment, the joining method of the auxiliary hanging member 40 and fastener 31 is not limited thereto, as the head part 41 may be bonded to the fastener 31 by adhesive. In the first embodiment, the width of the first pad 24 is larger than the width of the head part 41, so as to prevent the noise caused by the friction of the head part 41 and the inner surface of the track 10. The extending part 42 protrudes from the head part 41 through the opening 11 and penetrates through the first pad 24, and the extending part 42 is available for hanging the curtain A.

[0033] The track 10 is mounted in a high place of a space, typically by abutting the top of the track 10 to the ceiling so that the opening 11 of the track 10 faces downward. Then, the at least one main hanging member 20 and the at least one auxiliary hanging member 40 are connected to each other by a connection member 30. In the first embodiment, the silent suspension system comprises a main hanging member 20 and multiple auxiliary hanging members 40; in another embodiment, the silent suspension system may also comprise multiple main hanging members 20. Finally, the curtain A is hung on the main hanging members 20 and the auxiliary hanging members 40.

[0034] The main hanging member 20 and auxiliary hanging member 40 are provided with the first pads 24 and the second pads 27, the material of which is a soft material, so when the main hanging member 20 and the auxiliary hanging member 40 are sliding in the track 10, they can reduce the generation of noise. In addition, because the two spaces formed between the second support part 25 and the first support part 23 , the main hanging member 20 can absorb the shock when sliding and is not easy to collide with the track 10 when moving and shaking up and down.

[0035] The advantage of this present invention is that the silent suspension system is designed in a sliding mode rather than a rolling mode of operation, and the main hanging member 20 is also added with a first pad 24 and second pads 27, so as to slow down the collision between the main hanging member 20 and the track 10. In addition, the first piece body 281 and the second piece body 282 of the suspension part 28 are located in different planes, when the two main hanging members 20 contact, there will be an overlap, so that the curtain A can block the light without forming a gap.

[0036] Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
