Abstract: A bracket element for supporting curtain rods, window shades and a variety of other hanging devices from the trim about a window or door frame. In one embodiment, a corner-mounting bracket element has a horizontal first leg with wedge-shaped teeth for engaging the upper surface of the trim and a vertical second leg rigidly connected thereto to form a right angle. Receiving means are disposed within the vertical second leg to permit attachment of a hanging device such as, for example, a curtain rod fixture. Extension members depend from the ends of the first and second legs and abut the adjacent wall structure, thereby providing further support and alignment of the bracket element. The bracket element is installed by the top of a hammer and can be easily removed for redecorating or replacement with minimal defacement of the trim and adjacent wall structure.
