A traverse rod assembly (10) includes a support rod (12) having a viewing side (32) and an opposite backside (34). A track (26) is connected to the backside (34) of the support rod (12), and the track (26) has a sideways opening (36) hidden from the viewing side (32) of the support rod (12). A set of sliders (28) has a first section (54) slidably disposed within the track (26) and a second section (56) extending from the first section (54) through the sideways opening (36) in the track (26). A curtain support (30) is connected to the second section (56) of each of at least a subset of the sliders (28), and the curtain support (30) is operable to support at least part of a drapery (16).

Traverse rod assembly

A cornice box assembly (10) for forming a cornice box (66) of a desired shape that hangs on a wall (74) is provided. The assembly (10) includes a face member (12) of a lightweight rigid material and first (14) and second (16) side members of the lightweight rigid material. Additionally, the assembly includes a top member (18) of the lightweight rigid material. A back member (20) is also provided of the lightweight rigid material having a first side tab member (50) at a first end and a second side tab member (52) at a second end. Each tab member (50 & 52) may be placed in a position generally perpendicular to the back member (20) at an interface between each tab member (50 & 52) and the back member (20). The assembly (10) also includes an adhesive (22) for joining the members such that a hingeable joint is formed between any two adhesive joined members. The assembly also includes a fastening medium (40) attached to each side member (14 & 16) and a connection medium (58) attached to each back side tab member (50 & 52). The fastening (40) and connection (58) mediums come together so as to hold the cornice box (66) in the desired shape when the cornice box (66) is formed along the hingeable joints with the side members (14 & 16) and back member (20) being generally perpendicular to the face member (12) and the back member (20) is generally parallel to the top member (18). A hanging medium (62) attached to the back member's (20) outside surface is also provided for securing the cornice box (66) to the wall (74).
