Abstract
A cubicle curtain loading system, including: a first member having proximal and distal ends and configured to selectively retain a cubicle curtain, wherein the distal end of the first member is configured to engage a track system configured to selectively hold the cubicle curtain; and a second member having proximal and distal ends and disposed at an angle to the first member, wherein the distal end of the second member is coupled to the proximal end of the first member. The first member includes a slot traversing its length along a bottom or side surface thereof. Retainer structures coupled to the cubicle curtain selectively engage the slot and are gathered along the length of the first member. Alternatively, no slot is used and retainer structures coupled to the cubicle curtain are selectively disposed about the first member and are gathered along its length. One or more of the first member and the second member removably engage one or more clips coupled to one or more of a wall and a ceiling of a structure. Alternatively, the second member slidably engages a guide member coupled to a wall of a structure. The first member, the second member, and/or the track system may be integrally formed.
