Abstract

For the purpose of supporting drapery tracks, Venetian blinds, or the like, there is provided an elongated channel having opposed side walls interconnected by a transverse wall which when the channel is in an operative position forms a top wall from which the opposed side walls extend downwardly. The channel has in its operative position an open bottom. A number of ribs extend inwardly from the inner surfaces of each of the side walls, these ribs serving to support items such as a drapery track, when the latter is situated within the channel, blind locks on which part of a Venetian blind with horizontal slats may be supported, or blind locks for determining the location of part of a Venetian blind which has vertical slats situated beneath the channel. Thus, the same channel may be used in connection with supporting different types of articles.
