Abstract
A bracket for mounting a head rail or a bottom rail of a window covering product to a fixation surface includes a main body portion with a mounting aperture and opposed edges adapted to engage the head or bottom rail. The main body portion of the bracket is mounted to the fixation surface via the mounting aperture either by directly passing a mounting screw or the like through the mounting aperture and into the fixation surface, or by affixing the main body portion at its mounting aperture to a support member that is in turn affixed to the fixation surface. The mounting aperture is associated with a convex curved surface of either the main body portion or the support member. If the main body portion has the convex curved surface, the mounting aperture can be a circumferentially elongate slot in the convex curved surface of the main body portion. If the support member has the convex curved surface, an elongate slot is formed in the convex curved surface of the support member, and a bolt passes through the mounting aperture in the main body portion and through the elongate slot in the supporting member and engages a nut located within the support member.
