(54) Eyelets


(57) An eyelet for attachment within a hole in curtain heading has two ring-shaped eyelet structures (1, 9) with flanges (5, 11). The structures interlock with each other via ratchet configurations (4a, 17a) which allow different separations of the flanges (5, 11). The ratchet configurations (4a, 17a) may be confronting circumferentially grooved axial surfaces of central coaxial tubular parts (2, 10). One flange (5) may have spikes (7a) which pass through the curtain heading into a circumferential groove (16) in the other flange (11) to hold the eyelet in position on the curtain heading.
