  • Patent number: 6688479
    Abstract: A U-shaped curtain rod mainly includes an adjustable rod formed from two telescoping hollow tubes; two knuckle joints connected to two outer ends of the adjustable rod, each of which being formed from two laterally symmetrical sets of a connecting arm and an adjusting block; and two mounting plates to which the knuckle joints are pivotally turnably connected. The two adjusting blocks of each knuckle joint are closely attached to each other by a screwing member extending through centered holes thereof, and are provided at contact surfaces with a plurality of radially extended adjusting teeth. By slightly loosening the screwing members, the two adjusting blocks of each knuckle joint could be turned relative to each other, allowing the two connecting arms to pivotally turn to positions closer to or away from a window to which the curtain rod is fixed.

  • Patent number: 6644379
    Abstract: The adjustable upper beam with a cuttable blind assembly is mainly made up of a blind, a movable upper beam having a telescopic inner tube and outer tube, two retaining clamps, a pull cord wherein the upper side of the blind is held in place by the upwardly and inwardly bent bottom edges of the inner and outer tube of the movable upper beam. The inner and outer tube have a pair of symmetrically protruded registration lugs for registration with the locking holes of the retaining clamps in assembly. The front and rear clamping plates of the retaining clamps can hold the inner and outer tubes firmly in place so as to make the clamping of the retaining clamps against the blind in a firmer manner. The front and rear clamping plates are provided with a hole and a cord seat for the passage and positioning of the pull cord whereby the blind can be adjusted of its size in a DIY manner for fixing to windows of various dimensions.
