  • Patent number: 11058245
    Abstract: A mountable hanging structure may be mounted between two intersecting walls forming a corner. The hanging structure may comprise a rod comprising a body with a curved section extending between first and second ends and a mounting assembly comprising two retainers. Each of the retainers may comprises (1) a base configured for mounting to one of the intersecting walls, (2) a flange extending from the base for receiving a respective end of the rod, wherein the flange comprises one or more holding elements configured to receive the ends of the rod and prevent the rod from rotating relative to the base, and (3) a shroud configured for connecting to the base and comprising a bore for receiving an end of the rod. The base and the shroud may comprise interlocking members for interlocking the shroud to the base to mount the rod.
