Abstract
A section bar for supporting curtains, allowing said curtains to slide, is constituted by at least two portions of section bar united to each other by a juncture element and having a hollow, contoured cross-section with a longitudinal side groove from which sliding support elements for curtain portions protrude. The juncture element has a cross-section complementary to the cross-section of the section bar. The juncture element has end portions which are suitable for being slid into the section bar and a middle portion which is provided, in regions thereof which are opposite to the sides of said longitudinal groove, with a plurality of variously shaped partial-notch-slots, such as to enable the juncture element to be bent according to any desired angles. The juncture element preferably includes, within its body, rigid elements capable of being bent together with the body.
