Drapery support system with decorative rod end support structure

Abstract

A drapery support rod assembly including opposed support brackets for supporting the rod at a predetermined distance with respect to a vertical wall and giving the appearance of a continuous rod section extending from the wall at each end. Opposed elongated channel shaped bracket members, inner cover members and outer cover members are preassembled by a threaded fastener and secured to the rod section by tang portions of the bracket members for securing the bracket assemblies to the rod section. The bracket assemblies may be loosely secured, one part to the others and secured to the rod section and then assembled to the wall brackets by a push-on operation. The wall brackets include generally horizontally projecting arm portions with elongated slots formed therein for receiving the assembly of the channel shaped bracket member and the inner cover part. The outer cover parts may include extension members having an outer wall shape corresponding to the outer wall shape of the outer cover members to selectively extend the position of the rod section with respect to a wall surface.
