Abstract:
1. A device for hanging panels, the device comprising a member having a lower edge, a pull-down mechanism for effecting pulling of said lower edge down from a higher to a lower position and for returning said lower edge to the higher position, and a plurality of fastener elements attached to and spaced along said lower edge, the device further comprising in combination therewith at least one panel which comprises a sheet of material having a sheet perimeter and a plurality of fastener elements spaced along and adjacent the sheet perimeter for connecting to said lower edge fastener elements for hanging one edge portion of said panel sheet from said lower edge, said sheet fastener elements being positioned along and adjacent the sheet perimeter in a quantity and spacing over the entirety of the sheet perimeter for connecting to respective ones of said lower edge fastener elements for hanging other edge portions of said panel sheet from said lower edge so that said at least one panel can be hung from said lower edge in a variety of alternative patterns, the device further comprising a plurality of identifier structures attachable to said panel for associating said identifier structures with the plurality of said panel fastener elements respectively, said identifier structures containing identifiers of a first nomenclature which provide information identifying individual ones of the plurality of panel fastener elements respectively, and means defining instructions identifying individual positions of the mating lower edge fastener elements respectively by a second nomenclature and containing steps for forming at least one of the alternative patterns wherein each step refers to said respective identifier of said first nomenclature and said respective identified individual position of the second nomenclature to direct a connecting of a corresponding one of said plurality of panel fastener elements with a corresponding one of said mating lower edge fastener elements.
