Abstract: Room darkening window curtain rod assemblies that include a curtain rod and two bracket assemblies, each including a removable magnetic finial are disclosed. Each bracket assembly includes a wraparound leg that extends perpendicularly from an axis of the curtain rod toward a wall or window frame upon which the assembly is installed. The removable finials allow a curtain to be drawn onto the wraparound leg of each bracket assembly from the curtain rod to provide curtain wraparound regions. The curtain wraparound regions reduce or prevent light from entering into a room, and allow the bracket assemblies to be hidden. Once the curtain is extended into the wraparound regions, the magnetic finials are magnetically attached to the bracket assemblies with portions of the curtain located therebetween.

Abstract: Window curtain rod assemblies that include a telescoping rod and two alignment bracket assemblies, each including a support arm and an alignment mounting bracket are disclosed. Each alignment bracket assembly includes a horizontal portion that extends in a horizontal direction parallel with an axial direction of the telescoping curtain rod away from the vertical edges of a window frame to allow the alignment bracket assembly to be mounted adjacent to the vertical edges of the window frame, while still allowing the curtain to extend beyond the vertical edge of the window frame. The support arms may include a first substantially cylindrical end and a second end. The alignment mounting bracket may be attached to the second end, and include a vertical guide leg having a vertical guide edge and horizontal guide edge.

Abstract: Shower caddies with a tilt-resisting locking mechanism that resists rotation of the caddies when supporting an uneven load. The shower caddies may also include vertically and horizontally movable baskets that are independently adjustable by a mechanism, which allows the user to adjust both the vertical and horizontal position of the basket.

Abstract: Shower caddies with vertically and horizontally movable baskets are disclosed. Each basket is independently adjustable by a mechanism including a front plate, a rear plate and a draw fastener, which allows the user to adjust both the vertical and horizontal position of the basket from a single control point for simple and easy operation. The shower caddies may also include a tilt-resisting locking mechanism that resists rotation of the caddies when supporting an uneven load.

Abstract: Bath curtain rod assemblies are disclosed comprising axially movable tubes that may be locked into position in relation with each other. A contact end is extended from one of the tubes to engage and press against a bath support structure to firmly secure the assembly in place. The contact end includes at least one hole for receiving a mechanical fastener such as a screw, which allows the installer to choose whether or not to use mechanical fasteners when installing the rod assembly. The bath curtain rod assemblies may be installed quickly and easily in bath and shower stalls without the necessity of mechanical fasteners or adhesives, while allowing the installer to use mechanical fasteners if desired.

Abstract: A corner caddy includes a basket assembly and a bracket configured to be coupled to the basket assembly wherein the bracket includes a spreader, a first contact member pivotally connected to a first end of the spreader, a second contact member pivotally connected to a second end of the spreader, a first adhesive positioned adjacent to an outer surface of the first contact member, and a second adhesive positioned adjacent to an outer surface of the second contact member.

Abstract: A window rod assembly includes two support arm assemblies each including a bracket, a support arm having a first end rigidly connected to the bracket, and a tube rigidly connected to a second end of the support arm; a curtain rod including a first rod section and a second rod section configured in a telescoping arrangement and sized to fit into the tubes of the support arm assemblies; a locking mechanism for securing the relative axial position of the first rod section with respect to the second rod section; and a force adjusting mechanism mounted on at least one of the support arm assemblies and configured to apply an inward force to the curtain rod at a location within the first tube and an outward force to the support arm assemblies to force the brackets into support surfaces of a window opening or window casing.

Abstract: A shower caddy includes a clamp assembly including a first portion configured to be positioned on a pipe, a fastener configured to restrict movement of the first portion with respect to the pipe, and a second portion pivotally coupled to the first portion; and a shelf assembly coupled to the second portion of the clamp assembly.

Abstract: A window rod assembly includes a support rod extending between first and second arms, the support rod including first and second rod portions, wherein the first rod portion is configured to slideably engage the second rod portion; a fastener for maintaining a fixed spatial relationship between the first and second rod portions; a force adjuster positioned in one of the first and second rod portions; a first end bracket coupled to the first arm, the first end bracket including a first part configured to be positioned adjacent to a first interior surface of an opening; and a second end bracket coupled to the second arm, the second end bracket including a first part configured to be positioned adjacent to a second interior surface of the opening.

Abstract: A corner caddy includes a basket assembly and a bracket configured to be coupled to the basket assembly wherein the bracket includes a spreader, a first contact member pivotally connected to a first end of the spreader, a second contact member pivotally connected to a second end of the spreader, a first adhesive positioned adjacent to an outer surface of the first contact member, and a second adhesive positioned adjacent to an outer surface of the second contact member.

Abstract: A curtain rod includes a stationary rod having an end cap adjacent an end thereof; a movable rod axially movable with respect to the stationary rod having another end cap adjacent an end thereof; and a locking mechanism for securing the movable rod in a desired axial position with respect to the stationary rod, wherein at least one of the end caps is axially adjustable and comprises a contact member rotatably mounted on the at least one end cap structured and arranged to contact a wall of a window opening.

Abstract: A window rod assembly includes a first mounting bracket configured to clamp onto a window molding; a first support arm coupled to the first mounting bracket and configured to hold a curtain rod; a second mounting bracket configured to clamp onto the window molding; and a second support arm coupled to the second mounting bracket and configured to hold the curtain rod.

Abstract: A shower curtain hook includes a generally S-shaped member including a top portion configured to slideably engage a rod having a first diameter, and a bottom portion; the top portion including a curved section and a straight section extending from one end of the curved section; and a ball attached to an end of the straight section, wherein a distance between the ball and the bottom portion is smaller the first diameter.

Abstract: A curtain rod assembly includes a support rod extending between the two end brackets and configured to be mounted between opposing walls of a window casement, and an extendable curtain rod support arm extending from each of the end brackets and shaped to hold one or two curtain rods.

Abstract: A shower curtain hook includes a hoop portion, a lower portion, a hinge coupling a first end of the hoop portion to a first end of the lower portion, and a clasp for coupling a second end of the lower portion to a second end the hoop portion.
