ABSTRACT:
A universal valance assembly is disclosed. In one embodiment, the valance assembly is mountable on headrails of inverted channel cross-section, such as is commonly used for hanging vertical blinds. In another embodiment, the valance assembly is mountable on a headrail of channel cross-section, such as is used for hanging horizontal blinds of varying width. In either case, the valance assembly comprises a groover face element for holding decorative material, and groover return elements which are mounted at opposite ends of the groover face elements by means of corners which join the groover elements at substantially right angles. In the case of headrails of inverted channel cross-section, the assembled groover elements, making up the valance assembly, are mounted on the headrail with one or more groover-receiving brackets, provided with rearwardly-extending arms and a clip mounted adjacent a remote end of the rearwardly-extending arm for engaging exterior grooves defined in the walls of the headrail. In the case of a headrail of channel configuration, the clips mounted at a remote end of the rearwardly-extending arm of the groover-receiving bracket are engageable with curved lips on opposite inner walls of the headrail, and the clips are further adjustable to different widths of headrail for use on venetian, micro and mini blinds.
