Connector

Abstract

The present invention relates to a curtain assembly having at least one connector that is either removably connected to the sheet material or is an integral part of the sheet material. The connector can be in any shape or form as desired. The connector has a front surface, a back surface, a first end, a second end, and has at least one opening which creates a joinable element. The opening on the front surface of the connector can either offset the back surface of the opening or aligned with the back surface of the opening. The joinable element of the connector forms two opposable surfaces that can be centered, off-centered, non-linear, vertical, diagonal in relation to a vertical plane. The two opposable surfaces can be joined to facilitate a stable coupling between a sheet material and a rod. The connector also has an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter wherein the inner perimeter does not need to have the same geometric configuration as the outer perimeter. The connector can be in any shape or form the user may choose to have so long as it has a front surface and a back surface and an opening on both surfaces that either offset or align with each other to facilitate the connector to connect the sheet material to a substantially stationary object such as a rod.
