A bracket for mounting objects to a wall includes a base defining mounting holes for fasteners. An arm extends from the base and has a top, a bottom and a maximum width at the interconnection with the base. The mounting holes includes at least two that are spaced from another by a distance greater than a maximum width of the arm so that one of the mounting holes is outside the arm on one side of the arm and another of the mounting holes is outside the arm on the other side of the arm. At least a portion of the mounting holes is located above the top of the arm.

There is disclosed a curtain rod system including an inner rod and an outer rod for mounting at a window. The outer rod is mounted substantially parallel to the inner rod along the length thereof and spaced apart from the inner rod forming a gap therebetween. A first portion of a drape is anchored to the inner rod and a second portion of the drape is laid over the outer rod to span the gap between the inner and outer rods.

An apparatus for hanging curtains without tools and wherein no damage is done to the outer wall surface nor, in certain embodiments, the window framing. The apparatus has a wedge body with a first hook at the heel end of the wedge body, and in certain embodiments, the wedge body has a second hook between its heel end and toe end along its inclined plane. The toe end can be wedged between the head of the window framing and intrinsic support typically found adjacent the head of the window framing, like a tension rod or the like. This wedge supports the first and second hooks which protrude from the window framing space for hanging curtain rods therefrom.

There is provided a bracket and rod assembly system having improved strength and configured to allow complete access of a drapery supported by the rod assembly to an entire length of the rod assembly without interference from the bracket.

A coupler system for connecting elongate, horizontally disposed rods to vertical supports includes a top-cap component for attaching to the top of a vertical support, and including a body with plural cavities formed therein, and at least one ball-cap component for attaching to an end of a rod, and including a ball region that is constructed to fit within one of the plural cavities of the top-cap component. The body may be formed with four of the plural cavities, with each of them having beveled edges. The ball-cap components may include a ball region, a neck region, and an angled region located adjacent the neck region and away from the ball region. The top-cap and ball-cap components may include insertion regions with opposing sets of ribs. The coupler system may further include a cover component, and the body may be formed with a central hole for receiving a fastener that secures the cover component to the top-cap component.

A shower rod assembly comprising a first arm engaged at a proximal end to a first swivel bracket assembly which includes a mounting bracket and a swivel bracket hingedly engaged to the mounting bracket, a second arm engaged to a second swivel bracket assembly which includes a mounting bracket and a swivel bracket hingedly engaged to the mounting bracket, a first attachment end engaged to a distal end of the first arm, first attachment end including a pin sleeve accessible from an outer surface, a second attachment end springingly engaged to a distal end of the second arm, the second attachment end including a coil spring mounted within a spring chamber engaged to the distal end of the second arm, and a pin emanating from an outer surface of the second attachment end where the pin springingly engages the pin sleeve to form a continuous shower rod.

A tripartite tension rod assembly, including a first vertical telescoping tension rod, the first tension rod having a first spring loaded endcap and a second non-spring-loaded foot, the first tension rod having a first longitudinal axis; a second vertical telescoping tension rod, the second tension rod having a first spring loaded endcap and a second non-spring-loaded foot, the second tension rod having a second longitudinal axis; a first arcuate bracket arranged to be fixedly secured to the first vertical tension rod; a second arcuate bracket arranged to be fixedly secured to the second vertical tension rod; and, a horizontal telescoping rod extending between the first and second arcuate brackets, the horizontal rod having a third longitudinal axis which, when assembled, is substantially perpendicular to the first and second longitudinal axes.

A curtain rod bracket assembly with a bracket base that is configured to be mounted to a wall or a ceiling, and a bracket arm defining at least one curtain rod supporting portion that is configured to hold a curtain rod in a generally horizontal orientation, and first and second mounting locations. The first mounting location is configured to be coupled to the bracket base when the bracket base is mounted to a wall, while maintaining a curtain rod supporting portion such that it is configured to hold a curtain rod in a generally horizontal orientation. The second mounting location is configured to be coupled to the bracket base when the bracket base is mounted to a ceiling, while maintaining a curtain rod supporting portion such that it is configured to hold a curtain rod in a generally horizontal orientation.

There is provided a bracket and rod assembly system having improved strength and configured to allow complete access of a drapery supported by the rod assembly to an entire length of the rod assembly without interference from the bracket.
