Abstract (en)

A curtain track of variable length comprises at least two telescopically interconnected track members (1,2). The track members (1,2), conveniently of channel section, are adjustable relative to one another to vary the working length of the track, and are each adapted to have gliders (15) slidable therealong for carrying curtains. Ramp means (3) between the track members allow the gliders (15) to slide from one track member to the other. The track members (1,2), preferably of channel section, can be of lengths appreciably shorter than the longest working length of the curtain track to which they can be extended, thus enabling the track members (1,2) to be stored and packaged more compactly than a single track of the extended length. End stops (18) are provided to restrain the gliders (15) from sliding off the ends of the curtain track. Mountings (23) attach to the track members (1,2) to fix the curtain track to a supporting surface, each mounting (23) having a rotatable component (25) which can be readily turned into and released from frictional securing engagement with a respective one of the track members (1,2) to hold the mounting (23) and track member (1,2) together. <IMAGE>
