ABSTRACT:
A mounting base component and an upper bracket component comprise the stair rod bracket. The mounting base component is secured to the tread in any suitable manner and it includes an aperture or an open, elongate channel. The upper bracket component conforms to the shape of the mounting base component, so that, when they are mounted together, they define a single, integral bracket. Extending out from the upper bracket component is a latch that latchably engages into the opening or channel of the mounting base. A stair rod can be easily removed or installed by sliding the upper bracket to disengage it and then by lifting it away from the mounting base. Assembly and disassembly of a stair rod bracket according to the present invention is not impeded or made difficult by the framework of the stairs.
