Abstract:

A curtain, drape, shade, or the like movable to a position in which it has a ballooning effect is mounted in a simple and effective manner. A first conventional curtain rod supports a fabric sheet comprising the shade, or the like, at a top portion of the sheet. A second conventional curtain rod is spaced from the first rod and is adjacent the top of the sheet. A number of rings, disposed in columns, are formed on the back of the fabric sheet, and a cord passes through all the rings in a column. Each cord is connected at a first end to a bottom portion of the fabric sheet, and the second end of each cord passes through one or more eyelets mounted in a fixed position with respect to the second curtain rod. Each eyelet may be moved to any desired position along the curtain rod by loosening a screw fastener, and when the screw fastener is tightened it is fixed at the particular position to which it has been moved along the curtain rod.
