Claims43
An adjustable curtain rod assembly comprising:
- a rod member;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism coupled to an end of the rod member, the adjustment mechanism operable to adjust a length of the rod assembly and having a clutch mechanism that prevents over-extension of the rod assembly during mounting.
An adjustable curtain rod assembly comprising:
- a rod member;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism coupled to an end of the rod member, the adjustment mechanism operable to adjust a length of the rod assembly and having an overrunning clutch mechanism operable to permit extension of the rod assembly to a first length that creates a first compressive force on a support surface to which the rod assembly is being coupled, and that prevents extension of the rod assembly to a second length longer than the first length and that would create a second compressive force greater than the first compressive force on the support surface.
An adjustable curved curtain rod assembly comprising:
- a curved rod member;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism coupled to an end of the curved rod member, the adjustment mechanism operable to adjust a length of the rod assembly and having
- a handle rotatable relative to the curved rod member, and
- a mounting shaft coupled with the handle;
- wherein rotation of the handle causes relative extension and retraction between the mounting shaft and the curved rod member to respectively increase and decrease the length of the rod assembly.
