Abstract

A dust sheet holder, for use on stairways, is comprised of an adjustable rod with a spring loaded mechanism. The device is fitted between the vertically extending side panels of a stairway, and held in position by the outward pressing action of a metal spring. The holder has the spring fixing inserted into one end and a secure fixing at the other. The latter fixing can be locked into either of two fixed positions thus allowing the length of the rod to be adjusted. For stairways which are of a non-standard width, an extension rod may be fitted. This is attached by a screw fitting. The ends of the rod may have plastic or rubber caps attached to prevent marking or damaging of the stairway.
