Curtain

Abstract

A versatile curtain comprising fabric material having a top edge, bottom edge and two sides. The fabric can be folded or seamed to provide a tubular pocket near the top edge. A set of horizontally spaced and vertically extending loops are provided near the top edge, too, overlying the pocket. A curtain tape extends across the curtain, from side to side edge and preferably forms one side of the pocket. The tubular pocket, large loops and the curtain band for curtain hooks provide a variety of supporting options for the consumer, seeking to support the same on a curtain rod. The top edge of the curtain can also be supported by a set of clips and rings.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A curtain for a curtain-supporting rod comprising:
 a sheet of fabric defining a top edge, bottom edge, and opposed sides, said sheet further comprising:
 a tubular and longitudinal extending pocket formed from said sheet and near to said top edge, said tubular pocket having one or more side openings extending from one or both of said opposed sides and 
 two or more horizontally-spaced, vertically-extending large loops, secured to said fabric proximal to said top edge, said large loops being sufficiently large to allow said supporting rod to be passed therethrough. 
   
     
     
         2 . A curtain for a curtain-supporting rod as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a tape of curtain hook-holding material proximal to said top edge and providing a set of horizontally-spaced loops for use with conventional curtain hooks to secure said curtain to a curtain-supporting rod. 
     
     
         3 . The curtain as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said fabric is lined. 
     
     
         4 . The curtain as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said tubular pocket is formed by one side of said curtain tape. 
     
     
         5 . The curtain as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said tubular pocket is overlain by said large loops. 
     
     
         6 . The curtain as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said tubular pocket is formed below and recessed from said top edge to provide a small fringe at the top of said curtain. 
     
     
         7 . The curtain as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said tubular pocket is overlaid by said vertically-extending large loops. 
     
     
         8 . The curtain as claimed in  claim 7  further comprising a curtain tape proximal to said top edge and providing a set of horizontally-spaced loops for use with conventional curtain hooks, to secure said curtain to a curtain-supporting rod, said tape, said large loops and said tubular pocket substantially overlying one another.
