Repositionable Window Covering System
20190142201 · 2019-05-16 ·

An all-in-one window covering solution and system is described. The system is bundled with all components of a complete window covering solution, including at least one extension rod, at least one window covering, mounts/brackets, and mounting adhesive. The mounting adhesive is preferably configured to be strongly affixed to walls, and yet be flexible enough to be removed without damage to the wall, unlike conventional window covering mounting brackets. As such, the system employs no screws, bolts, or nails, and therefore does not require any tools for installation or removal. All components of the system are included in a single package, facilitating and expediting component selection and final installation. The adhesive component of the system provides for adjustment and reuse of the system if needed.

LOCKING TELESCOPING ROD
20190145447 · 2019-05-16 · ·

A compression lock assembly for an adjustable length rod assembly with inner and outer tubes is provided. The compression lock assembly has an adapter adapted to be connected to rotate with the inner tube. An elastomeric ring with an inner opening and outer diameter is concentric and disposed coaxially with the adapter. A threaded fastener extends through the elastomeric ring and is fixed to the adapter. A lock nut is disposed about the threaded fastener and fixed to rotate with the elastomeric ring. The locking nut moves along the threaded fastener to compress the elastomeric ring and expand the outer diameter from a first diameter to a second diameter greater than the first diameter as the elastomeric ring is rotated relative to the adapter.

Room darkening curtain rods including removable finials
10278529 · 2019-05-07 · ·

Room darkening window curtain rod assemblies that include a curtain rod and two bracket assemblies, each including a removable magnetic finial are disclosed. Each bracket assembly includes a wraparound leg that extends perpendicularly from an axis of the curtain rod toward a wall or window frame upon which the assembly is installed. The removable finials allow a curtain to be drawn onto the wraparound leg of each bracket assembly from the curtain rod to provide curtain wraparound regions. The curtain wraparound regions reduce or prevent light from entering into a room, and allow the bracket assemblies to be hidden. Once the curtain is extended into the wraparound regions, the magnetic finials are magnetically attached to the bracket assemblies with portions of the curtain located therebetween.

Drape having stabilizer
10244881 · 2019-04-02 · ·

A drape has a longitudinal pocket on one or both sides of the drape. A stabilizer is placed within the pocket and extends the length of the pocket. The stabilizer is supported by a drapery support such as a rod or track in a manner which enables the panel to move along the drapery support from a closed, drawn position to an open, stacked position. The stabilizer is supported by the drapery support and is free to move within the pocket. The stabilizer prevents the drape from flaring at the bottom. A wand may be attached to the stabilizer or to a carrier or other assembly to which the stabilizer is attached.

20190082875 · 2019-03-21 ·

Finial end cap assemblies for telescoping curtain rods are disclosed. The finial assemblies include an outer finial cover and an inner finial base threadably mounted into each end of a curtain rod. A rotatable end pad is mounted on each finial base. The rods may include telescoping sections that are axially extendable from each other and lockable by a twisting motion. During installation on a support structure such as a window frame or shower stall, the finial cover, finial base and end of the curtain rod are fixed together by threaded engagement of the finial base with a threaded insert inside the end of the curtain rod, while the end pad is freely rotatable in order to maintain stationary contact with the support structure when the rod sections are twisted.
