Abstract: A curtain rod for a sliding glass door in a wall comprising a first rod section, a pair of brackets mounting the first rod section on the door in position extending generally horizontally across a face of the door, a second rod section, and a bracket mounting the second rod section independently of the door in axial alignment with the first rod section. The first and second rod sections have a sliding fit with respect to each other and constitute an extensible rod assembly, the rod assembly being extended as the door is closed and contracted as the door is opened. The rod assembly is adapted to support a curtain extending across the face of the door in both closed and open positions of the door. The curtain rod further comprises a lock for preventing contraction of the assembly and thus the opening of the door.

Abstract: A curtain rod for a sliding glass door in a wall comprising a first rod section and brackets mounting the first rod section on the door in position extending generally horizontally across a face of the door, the first rod section being spaced laterally from the face for supporting a plurality of hooks or the like adapted to support a curtain. The curtain rod further comprises a second rod section and a bracket mounting the second rod section independently of the door in axial alignment with the first rod section. The first and second rod sections have a sliding fit with respect to each other and constitute an extensible rod assembly, the rod assembly being extended as the door is closed and contracted as the door is opened.
