Abstract
A carrier for supporting a panel for movement along a track and adapted for connection to a string for controlling the spacing of the carriers along the track. The carrier includes a carrier body having a key receiving cavity, a locking key integrally connected to the body by a frangible connection arranged to allow an intermediate portion of a string to be inserted laterally into a position extending crosswise of the cavity. The key is then forced into the cavity to form a loop in the string and lock the string to the carrier body.
