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.
