ABSTRACT:
A curtain rod for a sliding glass door in a wall comprising a first rod section, a pair of brackets mounting the first rod section on the door in position extending generally horizontally across a face of the door, a second rod section, and a bracket mounting the second rod section independently of the door in axial alignment with the first rod section. The first and second rod sections have a sliding fit with respect to each other and constitute an extensible rod assembly, the rod assembly being extended as the door is closed and contracted as the door is opened. The rod assembly is adapted to support a curtain extending across the face of the door in both closed and open positions of the door. The curtain rod further comprises a lock for preventing contraction of the assembly and thus the opening of the door. The lock comprises at least one hole in one of the rod sections and a locking ring adapted to be applied thereto for providing a fixed external shoulder on the rod section engageable with a stop member alongside the rod section. The locking ring comprises a first elongate portion having a generally closed shape and spaced-apart ends, the ring being adapted to be carried on the rod section in a position in which the first portion of the ring substantially surrounds the rod, and a second elongate portion extending from one end of the first portion inwardly with respect to the closed shape into the hole in the rod section when the ring is in its stated position.
