Drapery bottom retention system

Abstract

A drapery bottom retention system includes a drapery bottom retention rod mounted to a surface located between a window bottom and a top of a window-mounted HVAC system. The drapery bottom retention rod keeps drapery bottoms from interfering with the top and front of a window-mounted HVAC system and enable drapery panels to remain closed in front of a window for room privacy. The drapery bottom retention system can also include a means to retain drapery/curtain panels attached in a closed, privacy position while the drapery bottom retainer rod keeps drapery bottoms open and away from the front and top of a HVAC system.
