ABSTRACT:
A valance assembly for use with a blind having a headrail includes an elongate valance member having a substantially planar rear face. A T-shaped groove is disposed in the rear face of, and oriented longitudinally with respect to the elongate valance member. A pair of valance return members are mounted at opposite ends of the elongate valance member, each valance return member having a substantially planar rear face. A corresponding T-shaped groove is disposed in the rear face of, and oriented longitudinally with respect to each respective valance return member. Each of the valance return members are joined to the elongate valance member by means of a corner bracket capable of sliding frictional engagement into the T-shaped groove of the elongate valance member and a corresponding T-shaped groove of a respective one of the valance return members, so that each valance return member is securely retained in position by frictional engagement between a respective corner bracket and corresponding T-shaped grooves of the elongate valance member and the respective valance return member. Finally, at lease one valance support is provided for releasably engaging the T-shaped groove of the elongate valance member and an upper portion of the headrail, in order to support the elongate valance member in generally parallel spaced relation to the headrail.
