An article support system is provided for detachably mounting an article on a support structure. The system includes a bracket plate adapted to be attached to one of the article or the support structure. The bracket plate includes a key-way having side walls diverging from a front face of the bracket plate to a rear there thereof. The key-way extends through the bracket plate between the front and rear faces and includes an entry mouth opening at an edge of the bracket plate. A supporting key is adapted to be attached to the other of the article or the support structure. The supporting key is positionable through the entry mouth of the key-way and has side walls converging from a front face of the key to a rear face thereof for mating proximity to the diverging side walls of the key-way in the bracket plate. The invention contemplates that the bracket plates can be stacked with their first faces in abutment to define a dual key-way of a generally hour-glass cross-sectional configuration, or the bracket plates can be stacked with their second faces in abutment to define a dual key-way of a generally truncated diamond cross-sectional configuration, with the supporting keys being stacked to form corresponding mating assemblies.

A curtain rod assembly manufactured primarily from extruded aluminum components, the curtain rod defining an elongated cruciform groove in its upper portion to receive therein a like shaped support part, a horizontal flange being provided at the rod's lower portion to receive wheeled curtain carriers, the rod being symmetrical about a vertical plane. In a modification of the rod, instead of a vertically elongated cruciform groove, a vertical plate-liked portion is provided wherein such upper vertical portion is fastened through horizontal bolts to an overhead support, a flange on the lower aspect with a horizontal cross piece defining tracks for the wheeled curtain carriers as in the first modification, this second modification also being symmetrical about a vertical plane. A spacer support is provided for the first curtain rod having a pair of spaced parallel cruciform-shaped portions to be received in the like shaped slots of two overlapping parallel rods, the spacer including a stop member for carriers on one of the rods and a rope guide thereunder slideably to receive the curtain rope for supporting same. Live-end and deadend pulleys journalled in housings are provided which are adapted to support or be supported by a rod in a fixed relationship thereto so as to be aligned with the curtain carriers. The curtain rod is adapted to receive chain links in its cruciform slot for supporting the rod from the overhead structure at selected locations. The curtain rod also is adapted to be inverted whereby the flange, through a slot provided therein, is supported by overhead screw connections and a curtain carrier is received in the cruciform slot.

1,012,872. Suspending curtains. SWISH PRODUCTS Ltd. Aug. 24, 1964 [Aug. 24, 1963], No. 33623/63. Heading A4B. A curtain suspension comprises a runner 10 having an elongated guiding section 101 sliding in a hollow rail 11, the ends 102 being spaced from the upper and lower inner surfaces of the rail and the section being of greater length than the width of the slot 111. A cylindrical neck 103 bears on the lower edge of the slot 111 and a depending shank 104, terminating in a curtain-supporting ring 105, is cranked so that the curtain is suspended in the midvertical plane of the slot 111. The runner is entered into or released from the rail at any point along the length of the slot after rotation through 90 degrees. The shank has a ridge 106 to facilitate rotation. In modifications the lower end of the shank is adapted to engage a curtain ring, the lower end of the guiding section bears on the lower inner surface of the rail, or the axis of the guiding section is inclined to the axis of the shank to provide leading and trailing edges as the curtain is drawn and withdrawn.

849,668. Clothes pegs. SWISH PRODUCTS Ltd. March 3, 1958, No. 5723/60. Divided out of 849,667. Class 44. A clothes peg comprises a pair of normally dependent jaws 1, 2 wherein the inner face of one or both jaws is formed with a downwardly tapered channel 4, a gravity loaded ball or roller 5 mounted in said channel or channels, the ball or roller having a diameter greater than the narrowest gap obtaining between the jaws, the head of the peg having a generally horizontal bore 7 therethrough for the reception of a clothes line, the longitudinal axis of said bore having a V-shaped or arcuate formation to provide substantial friction resistance to movement of the peg along the clothes line. The ball or roller is inserted into the channel or channels by providing a bore 6 in communication with said channel or channels. The bore 6 intersects the bore 7 so that when the peg is mounted on the clothes line the line retains the ball or roller in the peg. In a modification the peg has three jaws with a ball or roller mounted between adjacent jaws. In this construction the bores 6 do not intersect the bore 7 and are closed by plugs to keep the balls or rollers in place.

870,188. Curtain suspension. SWISH PRODUCTS Ltd. Oct. 19, 1959 [Oct. 21, 1958; Sept. 25. 1959], Nos. 33519/58 and 32615/59. Class 52(5). In a curtain suspension device a nail engaging bracket 20 (Fig. 2) is provided with a depending shoe 202 capable of being engaged within a slot 211 in a rail 21 by an endwise sliding movement, the formation of the shoe 202 being such that the shoe has a self-locking relationship relatively to the rail 21 when the shoe has been engaged within the slot 211 so that the bracket 20 remains firmly held in whatever position it may occupy relatively to the rail when release of the bracket by the manipulator takes place. The shoe 202 has a central thickened portion 203 which tapers at the end to wafer edges. The effective maximum thickness of the portion 203 when unstressed is greater than the depth of the slot 211. In a modification shown in Fig. 10 a pair of shoes 202 are provided to engage channels 216.

950,869. Hinges. SWISS PRODUCTS Ltd. Dec. 5, 1961 [Dec. 6, 1960], No. 41876/60. Heading E2F. A hinge comprises a plate A having a plane underface 6 for engagement with a part 8, such as a door frame, and a plate B having a pair of opposite parallel plane faces adapted for alternative surface engagement with a part 13, such as a door, by the provision of apertures 11 countersunk at both ends to receive screws 12, the plates having interfitting hinge knuckles connected by a detachable hinge pin 15 and the axis of rotation being offset from the faces of the plate B by different amounts each less than the distance between the axis and the underface 6 so that the plates can be assembled in either of the two alternative positions shown in Figs. 2 and 3 for mounting two different thicknesses of door. The plates and the hinge pin are preferably moulded from synthetic plastic such as nylon. Specification 928,795 is referred to.
