Abstract
A rod used for supporting window dressings and the like on a wall surface is supported on the wall by a base plate. This plate is secured to the wall studding and embedded within the wall to support an internally-threaded tubular member which projects through the plaster, paneling, etc. for attachment at the outer face thereof to a carrier plate. The carrier plate has a trapezoidal shape with a plurality of holes therein in a spaced-apart arrangement designed for an attachment by self-threading screws to holder brackets used to support the curtain rod. The carrier plate can be rotated to a desired orientation at the end of the tubular member for supporting different types of curtain rods.
