Abstract

A curtain system comprising a curtain rail (50;150), a stopper (70;153) on the curtain rail (50;150), a pleated curtain (44) and curtain gliders (20;120). The stopper being movable between a first position, in which the stopper is arranged to allow curtain gliders on the curtain rail to move past the stopper, and a second position, in which the stopper is arranged to prevent curtain gliders on the curtain rail moving past the stopper. The curtain gliders are attached to the pleated curtain in an arrangement that allows the curtain gliders to be aligned prior to location of the curtain on the curtain rail.
To be accompanied, when published, by Figure 11A of the drawings.
