From the head portion, a suspension member protrudes downwards to below the curtain rail. A resilient wing is attached to the head portion which may have the shape of a U-shaped bracket of which one leg is fixedly connected to the head portion of the slider. The bracket has an abutment member which rests resiliently and presses against the inner surface of a leg of a curtain rail over a distance of at least several millimeters.
