Abstract
A two-part, telescoping curtain traverse rod is provided having an inverted U-shaped cross-section defining a slot in the underneath surface of the rod having two upstanding tracks therein. Idler curtain carriers are movable on rollers on the forward of the two tracks. Master curtain carriers are movable on rollers on the forward track and also have an extended body portion which is slidable on the rearward track. The rearward track further serves to confine a draw cord within the rod. The idler carriers are free to slide in overlapping relation with the extended body portions of the master carriers so that the spacing between curtain support points of both master and idler carriers can be made equidistant. The master carriers are further provided with means for securing the ends of the draw cord so as to fix the master carriers in the correct position within the rod for any degree of extension of the telescoping portions of the rod.
