Abstract
A mounting bracket which is simple, economic to manufacture and easy to install for the detachable mounting the head rail of a venetian blind assembly in a window opening or the like. In one form the bracket is of box-like configuration having panels with means for securing it to the side, top or front support surface of the window frame, a hinged front panel permitting pivoting from an open position to receive the ends of the head rail and locking means for latching the front panel in a closed position with the head rail in place. In another form, the bracket has flexible legs with tangs to engage with longitudinal ribs in the head rail and is pivotally mounted to release from the head rail when desired. Other features include a bumper insert for the head rail to resist transverse displacement when raising and lowering the blind and a novel control rod and ladder string arrangement facilitating complete closing of all the slats.
