Abstract

The curtain rod wall mount is a fixture used in pairs to support opposing ends of a cylindrical curtain rod between opposing walls of a building or window frame. In a first embodiment, the wall mount includes a helical spring disposed between a fixed plug and a movable plug, the spring being coaxially disposed around a guide screw extending between the plugs, the spring assembly being housed in a tubular sleeve that an end of the curtain rod slides into to bear against the movable plug. A second embodiment is similar to the first, but omits the guide screw. In a third embodiment, the wall mount has a wall plate having a threaded stud extending therefrom. The tubular sleeve has a plug with an internally threaded bore in one end that engages the threaded stub, the other end being hollow to receive an end of the curtain rod.

Dependent claims

A curtain rod wall mount, comprising:

a wall plate adapted for mounting on a wall;
a sleeve alignment guide mounted on the wall plate, the alignment guide defining a perimeter,
a fixed plug extending from the sleeve alignment guide;
a tubular sleeve having a first end and a second end, the first end fitting closely around the perimeter of the sleeve alignment guide to prevent lateral slipping of the sleeve;
a piston slidably mounted in the second end of the tubular sleeve, the piston having an end plate having an annular flange extending orthogonally from the end plate to define a recess dimensioned and configured for receiving an end of a curtain rod, the flange being adapted for preventing lateral slipping of the curtain rod;
a retainer plug extending from the end plate of the piston towards the wall plate;
and
a helical compression spring disposed within the tubular sleeve and having a first end bearing against the sleeve alignment guide and a second end bearing against the end plate of the piston, the fixed plug and the retainer plug extending partially into coils at opposite ends of the compression spring to stabilize the spring.
