Abstract
The adjustable blind holder is a single unit that solves multiple problems that are posed in the hanging of various window-covering options. The prior art involves the installation of separate units that act as braces for the head rail of a window covering. This poses the difficulty of mounting the brackets so that the head rail will be level when hung. The adjustable blind holder solves this problem by unifying disparate elements in a unique way that will allow the installation of a single unit that can be leveled easily. Also the elements of the blind holder allow for a versatile decorative cover.
