Abstract: A rod assembly for supporting a curtain between a first surface and a second surface includes a first attachment assembly, a second attachment assembly and a rod. Each attachment assembly attaches to a respective surface and includes an angularly adjustable section receiver. The rod includes a first rod section and a second rod section. The first rod section is attached to the first section receiver and includes a first curved section positioned distally from the first section receiver. The second rod section is attached to the second section receiver and includes a second curved section positioned distally from the second section receiver. In one embodiment, the second curved section is slidably connected to the first curved section in a male-female relationship so that a length of the rod is adjustable. The first rod section can include a locking mechanism that is adapted to contact the second rod section to frictionally secure the first rod section and the second rod section to one another.

Abstract: One embodiment of a mounting assembly for mounting a non-linear curtain rod to a surface includes a rod receiver assembly, a surface mount and a locking mechanism. The rod receiver assembly receives the curtain rod. The surface mount mounts onto the surface. The surface mount rotatably supports the rod receiver assembly for rotation about a first axis that is non-parallel to the surface. The locking mechanism moves from a locked position to an unlocked position. In the unlocked position, the rod receiver assembly is rotatable. Rotation of the rod receiver assembly causes rotation of the curtain rod. In the locked position the rod receiver assembly is simultaneously inhibited from rotating in a clockwise and a counterclockwise direction about the first axis.
