  • Patent number: 5706878
    Abstract: A curtain-supporting unit of a snap-in, snap-out type comprising a plurality of rods interconnected to form a sturdy curtain-receiving framework, with the rods residing essentially in a coplanar relationship. This curtain-receiving framework is adapted to support a curtain and to be installed as an integral curtain-supporting unit on or adjacent the frame of a window. This novel framework is utilized in combination with an array of rod-receiving clips of resilient construction mounted in a spaced, substantially planar relationship adjacent the window frame, with the clip array defining a configuration closely approximating the configuration of the curtain-receiving framework. Each of the clips has an entrance portion of reduced size, enlarging into a portion configured to closely receive and retain a respective portion of a rod of the framework that has been thrust into the clip.
