Embodiment Construction

[0039] A curtain rod assembly is provided that includes a rod and a bracket each including a removable magnetic trim head. The removable trim head allows the curtain to be pulled from the curtain rod onto the wraparound legs of the bracket to provide a curtain wraparound area that reduces or prevents light from entering the room. The curtain wrap around area allows the curtain to be pulled against the wall and hides the bracket from view.

[0040] In some embodiments, the curtain rod assembly can include alignment brackets for easy installation. The alignment bracket can be attached to the wall against the vertical edge of the window frame, while still allowing the shade to extend horizontally beyond the vertical edge of the window frame. In some embodiments, the alignment bracket assembly may be mounted on a window stud adjacent to the window frame. According to typical window construction techniques, window stiles are located adjacent to the vertical portion of the window ...

Abstract

Room darkening window curtain rod assemblies that include a curtain rod and two bracket assemblies, each including a removable magnetic finial are disclosed. Each bracket assembly includes a wraparound leg that extends perpendicularly from an axis of the curtain rod toward a wall or window frame upon which the assembly is installed. The removable finials allow a curtain to be drawn onto the wraparound leg of each bracket assembly from the curtain rod to provide curtain wraparound regions. The curtain wraparound regions reduce or prevent light from entering into a room, and allow the bracket assemblies to be hidden. Once the curtain is extended into the wraparound regions, the magnetic finials are magnetically attached to the bracket assemblies with portions of the curtain located therebetween.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 433,057, filed December 12, 2016. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to curtain rods, and more particularly, to a room darkening curtain rod assembly that includes a removable trim head that permits the shade to be completely snug against the wall. Background technique [0004] Conventional curtain rods with decorative heads require that the curtains remain only on the curtain rod itself. In order for the shade to extend beyond the outside vertical edge of the window and into the wall for blackout and aesthetics, decorative heads are not used on conventional curtain rods because they interfere with the ability of the shade to extend into the wall. This makes it necessary to decide whether to be functional or aesthetically pleasing. Alternatively, users can make sewing adjustments to the curtain itself so that ...
