Abstract

Cartridge system for facilitating the insertion of hangers into a traverse rod. For the rapid and inexpensive assembly of traverse rods, a cartridge arrangement is provided for groups of hangers whereby such groups may be rapidly and inexpensively inserted in predetermined numbers into a traverse rod. The carrier portion of the cartridge may be removed immediately from said hangers or, if desired, it may be left in place to hold the hangers against movement relative to each other during shipment and may then be quickly and easily removed by the installer or other purchaser at any time following shipment. Said cartridge comprises a plurality of hangers, each having a depending pendant and an elongated carrier member having successive perforations therein for receiving the pendants of such plurality of hangers. The relationship of the elongated member, hangers and pendants and the traverse rod are all such that the presence of the elongated member does not interfere with the insertion of the hangers into the traverse rod and hence same may be inserted in groups with the elongated carrier member in place and the latter then removed as and when convenient.
