  • Self aligning curtain rod bracket
    Patent number: 6554237
    Abstract: A curtain rod mounting bracket is affixed adhesively via a front mounting plate and a side mounting flange to be abutted against the upper inside corner of a window or other framed opening. The front mounting plate extends outwardly from the opening and the side mounting flange extends partway along the height of the front plate and extends rearwardly generally perpendicular to the front plate. One or more curtain rod support hooks are placed at the upper outside edge of the front plate. Relatively thick double sided adhesive strips are attached to the window frame side of the side flange and front mounting plate, securing the bracket to the window frame without damage, and allowing for alignment correction due to an imperfectly squared window frame and/or non-rectilinear moldings.
