Abstract
An improved, simpler, and more cost effective method for hanging multiple layers of curtaining with reduced damage to the casement of a window or of the walls around a window. An e-shaped hook (1) wraps around an existing bracket (3) utilized to hang a primary curtain rod. The hook (1) then extends down from the bracket (3) ending in a lateral prong at a right angle to the bracket (3) and perpendicular to the original curtain rod, pointing toward the center of the window. This prong is then inserted into the aperture of a telescoping rod with an internal spring adjustment referred to as a spring tension rod (2). The spring tension rod (2), due to its internal spring, allows for the rod to be inserted onto the hook (1) and be released from the hook (1) without the removal of the hook (1) from the bracket (3).
Claims7
A system for hanging curtains comprising:
- a. two e-shaped hooks, each e-shaped hook comprising:
- a middle section that bends back 180 degrees to form an upper section, the upper section bending to form a downward arm running perpendicular to the upper and middle sections, the downward arm bending at a right angle to form a prong running parallel with the upper and middle sections;
- b. a telescoping rod device comprising a spring tension rod which is supported by the prongs of said e-shaped hooks;
- c. two brackets of a separate and independent curtain rod assembly which are each received between the middle and upper sections of one of the said e-shaped hooks;
- and
- whereby subsequent layers of curtaining to that of a main curtain assembly are hung on the brackets via the telescoping rod device and e-shaped hooks, without requiring the use of nails, screws, or other securing means.
