ABSTRACT:
A bracket construction for mounting curtain rods and the like to a conventional wooden molding which eliminates the conventional need for screws or nails. The bracket includes an essentially flat base plate from which a pair of opposed curtain rod receiving arms project forwardly and a top flange which projects rearwardly from the top edge of the base plate and is furthermore provided with downwardly projecting tangs. The flange is adapted to contact upper edge portions of the molding and the tang adapted to project thereinto so as to support the bracket in the desired position on the molding. In addition, a side tab rearwardly projects from the base plate and is adapted to contact the side edge or end wall of the molding so as to mount the bracket at the molding extremity. Normally a pair of such brackets are utilized in conjunction with each other, as for mounting at opposite ends of the molding and in one embodiment of the invention to a pair of such brackets are made joined to each other at their bottom edges along a weakened line so that they may be disconnected for use. In addition, the flange and tab of the brackets, whether the brackets are formed individually or in pairs as above-described, may be readily removed from the base plate so that the bracket may be conventionally attached to the molding by screws or the like, when desired.
