Abstract: A variable length support rod apparatus for translational support of a window treatment, such as draperies, comprised of a support member formed of a plurality of transnationally engaged segments, the support member is infinitely configurable from a minimum contracted length to a maximum extended length through a translation of the plurality of segments toward or away from each other. A continuous flexible member is positioned along a pathway running between a first end and a second end of the support member. The support rod may be configured to any length between the minimum and maximum lengths and may be fixed to a support surface without an adjustment of the fixed length of the continuous flexible member.

Abstract: A motorized window treatment support apparatus which allows a user to selectively position the motor on either side of the window over which the window treatments hang. In particular, the support apparatus includes rotatable mounting brackets which may be rotated relative to a support rod to allow the support apparatus to be mounted to the wall in one of two configurations which differ by 180 degrees.

Abstract: A curtain rod structure provides both telescopic adjustment and a mechanism by which multiple curtain rods can be efficiently attached together. In at least one aspect, a curtain rod assembly includes: a rod member of a first type, wherein the rod member of the first type includes a connector element that attaches with an end-piece associated with the curtain rod assembly; a rod member of a second type, which is different than the first type, wherein the rod member of the second type connects with the rod member of the first type in a telescopic manner; and a fastener that attaches at either end to the connector element of the rod member of the first type; wherein the fastener has an associated stop mechanism to retain the fastener at a defined position when attached to the connector element.

Abstract: A curtain rod assembly includes one or more support members, such as brackets, that are configured to support a curtain rod from a wall. The support member include a coupler portion that provides a seamless and flush interface between the support member and the rod.
