ABSTRACT:
A device for mounting a wide variety of different window dressings is described. The device is intended to use conventional mounting brackets to mount the window dressing without the necessity of providing holes to mount the same in the face of the window molding or frame. The device includes either a corner or linear mounting plate which, respectively, may be used either on the right hand or left hand corner, or horizontally or vertically on the frame. Each plate is U-shaped in cross-section and intended to cover the sides and front of the window frame or molding or L-shaped to cover a portion. In one embodiment the portion covering the face can be laterally adjustable. Another embodiment provides flanges for mounting directly on the wall surrounding the window when no molding is present. The front face of the plate may be provided with a plurality of mutually spaced dimensioned cut-outs. A universal clip which is a channel shaped member having integral projections extending from the back surface thereof may also provided. The projections are also mutually spaced and dimensioned to register on the cut-outs in the mounting plate and to be received therein to secure the clip to the mounting plate. The clip in turn receives a conventional bracket or an interface plate which is a track like member attached to either a shutter, or a conventional type bracket wherein the interface plate itself is slidably received in the clip. An alternate embodiment shows a projection extending outwardly from a mounting bracket on the molding to receive the foot of a tension rod. The bracket can cover an inside or outside portion of the molding and be mounted on the molding by one or more tacks. Another embodiment mounts a box for the ends of a mini-blind and slots or holes can be provided for axial pins of rollers for shades.
