Abstract
A traverse rod including a downwardly opening carrier channel having inwardly extending carrier support rails at its lower edge, a master carrier mounted on the rod for movement parallel to the carrier channel and having master drapery support means thereon, and an intermediate carrier system, including a lead carrier at the end of a flexible string and a plurality of auxiliary carriers at spaced locations along the string each having heads guidably mounted on the rails at the lower end of the channel. The master carrier is constructed and arranged with relation to the rails at the lower edge of the channel so that the lead carrier on the intermediate carrier system can slide along the rails to a preselected position relative to the master drapery support means on the master carrier, and clamp means are provided to engage the lead carrier and master carrier to detachably secure the lead carrier in said preselected position to the master carrier.
