Patent ID: 7100626

Claim:
An attaching pivoting support for supporting a curtain in the outdoors, said support having at least two legs, wherein one leg of said support is threaded, having screw-like threads, and is threadedly attached to an attaching structure, said attaching structure selected from one of: i) a tall and narrow wooden, outdoor structure, such as a tree or post; and ii) an attaching fastener attached to an outdoor structure, wherein said support pivots around the axis of the threaded leg at the attachment of the threadcd leg to the attaching structure, wherein applying an inserting rotational force on the threaded leg increases the frictional force between the threads and the attaching structure wherein said curtain, having a predetermined curtain weight is supported by another leg which is held in an angular position by the friction of the attachment, wherein the leg supporting said current curtain has sufficient length along the axis of said supporting leg to support substantially the entire length of one edge of the curtain, whereby when the supporting leg is positioned by an operator at a lowered angle that is below horizontal, the supporting leg and curtain weight is held at the lowered angle by said frictional force and, later when the supporting leg is positioned by the operator at a raised angle that is above the lowered angle, the supporting leg and the curtain weight is held at the raised angle by said frictional force.
