Section: claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:at least a portion of a unitary body comprising a molded-in mounting feature integral with a plurality of flaps of a curtain configured to block electromagnetic radiation from passing through the curtain, the curtain comprising a polymer material and a particulate material uniformly dispersed therein. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the polymer material is a urethane and the particulate material is at least one of Tungsten powder and Barium sulfate. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the polymer material is a thermosetting polymer. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein mounting feature is a mounting bead and the plurality of flaps extend from the mounting bead. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the plurality of flaps includes a surface texture configured to reduce a surface area contacted by an item displacing the plurality of flaps. 6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of flaps defines a varied thickness. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of flaps defines a uniform thickness. 8. A shielding curtain assembly, comprising:a curtain suspending member defining a slot extending along a length of the curtain suspending member; anda shielding curtain comprising at least one flap extending from and integral with a mounting bead configured to be received by the slot to thereby suspend the shielding curtain, the shielding curtain comprising a polymer material and a particulate material uniformly dispersed therein. 9. The shielding curtain assembly of claim 8 wherein the at least one flap is a plurality of flaps. 10. The shielding curtain assembly of claim 9 wherein the mounting bead and the plurality of flaps are a single, unitary body. 11. The shielding curtain assembly of claim 8 wherein the at least one flap is a separate body including a portion of the mounting bead. 12. The shielding curtain assembly of claim 8 wherein the at least one flap is a plurality of flaps and the mounting bead and the plurality of flaps are a single, unitary body and a slit separates adjacent flaps and the shielding curtain comprises a plurality of strain relieving holes delimiting respective slits and disposed proximate the mounting bead. 13. The shielding curtain assembly of claim 8 wherein the particulate filler material is at least one of Tungsten powder and Barium sulfate. 14. The shielding curtain assembly of claim 8 wherein the curtain suspending member comprises a first bar fastened to a second bar using fasteners and wherein the fastened bars form the slot configured to receive the mounting bead. 15. The shielding curtain assembly of claim 8 wherein the curtain suspending member comprises only one bar defining the slot configured to receive the mounting bead. 16. A shielding curtain for blocking electromagnetic radiation, comprising:a mounting bead configured to be received by a slot to suspend the shielding curtain; anda flap being flexible and extending from and integral with the mounting bead. 17. The shielding curtain of claim 16 wherein the flap and the mounting bead comprise a polymer material and a particulate material uniformly dispersed therein. 18. The shielding curtain of claim 16 wherein the flap and the mounting bead comprise at least one of lead vinyl and lead rubber. 19. The shielding curtain of claim 16 wherein the flap comprises a plurality of flaps and the mounting bead and the plurality of flaps are portions of the same single, unitary body. 20. The shielding curtain of claim 19 wherein a slit separates adjacent flaps and the shielding curtain comprises a plurality of strain relieving holes delimiting respective slits and disposed proximate the mounting bead. 21. A shielding curtain, comprising:a molded body comprising a molded-in mounting feature that is integral with at least one flap extending from the molded-in mounting feature, wherein the molded body comprises a flexible composite polymeric material configured to block electromagnetic radiation. 22. The shielding curtain of claim 21 wherein the molded-in mounting feature is a mounting bead. 23. The shielding curtain of claim 21 wherein the molded-in mounting feature comprises at least one through hole. 24. The shielding curtain of claim 21 wherein the molded-in mounting feature comprises at least one protrusion. 25. The shielding curtain of claim 21 wherein the molded-in mounting feature comprises mounting hardware. 26. The shielding curtain of claim 25 wherein the mounting hardware comprises a generally elongated, flat bar.
