Abstract
The bracket and headrail system of the present invention includes an elongated headrail for supporting blinds and a bracket for attachment to a supporting surface. The headrail includes an elongated rail and an elongated hookrail. The bracket includes a support with a distal end, a base with at least one tang, and a cam having a bearing surface rotatably mounted on the base of the bracket. Upon assembly, the distal end of the support engages the elongated hookrail and the tang engages the elongated rail. The cam is rotated such that the bearing surface on the cam engages the elongated rail opposite the engagement by the tang.
