Abstract
A valance support bracket for mounting on the headrail of a venetian blind to enable mounting of a valance. The headrail has a pair of laterally spaced coplanar mounting flanges extending longitudinally along its upper surface. The valance support bracket includes a mounting plate from which depends a pair of locking arms adapted to be inserted downwardly between the mounting flanges on the headrail when the valance support bracket is disposed in a first orientation, the locking arms being further adapted for cooperative relation with the mounting flanges so as to cause the valance support bracket to undergo a snap-action movement as it is moved to a second orientation substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the headrail wherein the locking arms effect locking relation with the headrail.
