Abstract
A curtain clip device (10) includes a top flange portion (14) with two inwardly directed channels (16) and (18) bounding of the upper surface (20) of the top flange portion (14). The inwardly directed channels (16) and (18) partially enclose the upper surface (20) of the top flange portion (14) to form a recess (24) sized to receive a support structure. A diagonally downward extending lever (26) protrudes from the outside lower corner of adjacent channel (18). Rotation of the lever (26) causes the top flange portion (14) to be flexed, allowing the clip device (10) to engage with a support structure. A curved lower jaw (30) depends downward from the lower surface (22) of the top flange portion (14) and has a free end (32) configured to form a jaw clasp (34). A stationary clasp (36) depends from the lower surface (22) of the top flange portion (14), which is designed to selectively mate in an interlocking configuration with the jaw clasp (34) of the curved lower jaw (30) thereby securing a protecting curtain. The curved lower jaw (30) further contains an outwardly directed channel (38) opposite the jaw clasp (34) for receiving a leverage tool to assist in unlatching the jaw clasp (34) from the stationary clasp (36).
