Abstract
End structure for an elongated traverse rod having side-by-side parallel channels, one thereof opening downwardly and the other opening sidewardly. An elongated flexible element in one of the channels effects movement of a master carrier along the rod. The end structure has a pulley housing which is securable to the traverse rod by guide structure and has plural, downwardly opening compartments. A pair of pulleys are rotatably mounted on a first shaft and respectively within two of said compartments, such pulleys being engaged by the elongated flexible element. A second shaft is rotatably supported on the pulley housing and extends parallel within the other channel of said traverse rod. A drive pulley is secured to an end of the second shaft and is disposed in one of said compartments. Manually operable pulls engage the drive pulley for effecting rotation thereof.
