Abstract
A curtain assembly in which vertical sections of a curtain may be individually adjusted is provided with a curtain having a plurality of attached strings extending along the height of the curtain. Each string defines a boundary of at least one corresponding vertical section of the curtain. The curtain hangs from an elongate support member of rectangular cross section having a plurality of first rollers mounted therein. Each of the first rollers operatively cooperates with a corresponding one of the strings. A second roller mounted adjacent an end of the support member operatively cooperates with all of the strings. A plurality of string control members, each operatively connected with a corresponding string, are used for holding and releasing the strings. By selectively operating the corresponding strings, a user can adjust individual vertical sections of the curtain such that the curtain can be wholly or partially raised or lowered as desired.
