Combined curtail rod and shade assembly

Abstract

A combined curtain rod and shade assembly having two opposing corners attached to sheet rock with studs and a window having a pair of conforming and opposing virtually 90 degree angled members for meeting the corner between the window and the frame, in which, on the side of each, is presented a coupling device for acceptance of a rod for a shade assembly, on the 90 degree recess a coupling device for enabling at least one curtain rod assembly for hookable assemblage such that the distance traversed between the two member portions is effectively the width of the window; and an adhesive material on the rear portion of each of said angled member portions. The curtain rod and shade assembly further having a multiplicity of screw holes and screws of such length sufficient to enable passage through the sheet rock and into the studs.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to the field of curtain rod and shade assemblies, and more specifically to the field of simple installation of devices that permit the confluence of both curtain rods (for curtains and other decorative purposes) as well as a shade assembly (for minimalization of sun entry, in a manner that permits ease of installation while simultaneously ensuring necessary post-sheet rock support for permanence and endurance. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] If one were to frequent a hardware store, whether one of the large chains or a small chain, for the mere desire of seeking curtain rods or shade assemblies, the result would be a barrage of variations, all requiring installation of great complexity, some to the point of necessitating college degrees in engineering. Simplicity of installation would be antithetical. Overwhelming would be an understatement. [0003] It is well recognized in the field that shades, blinds, and curtain have ...

Benefits of technology

[0011] In a further preferred embodiment, the curtain rod and shade assembly satisfies the presence of molding, by having adhesive material further having foamed material such that upon installation the foamed material conforms with the molding for a tight fit assembly. Molding makes it very difficult to install curtain rods. The molding does not permit flat assembly, and most devices are not

Problems solved by technology

If one were to frequent a hardware store, whether one of the large chains or a small chain, for the mere desire of seeking curtain rods or shade assemblies, the result would be a barrage of variations, all requiring installation of great complexity, some to the point of necessitating college degrees in engineering.

Simplicity of installation would be antithetical.

Whereas shades are usually spring-loaded devices that can easily be pulled down to obscure in-coming light, they require alignment, installation, and because of the stresses associated with pulling and relieving the action for use, often require not just installation into the sheet rock (available) but also through the sheet rock into a stud assembly.

The normal installer finds this difficult, if not impossible.

On the other hand, when one views the surplusage of designs for curtain installations, one finds problems of even more grotesque proportion.

The result is a week structure that usually will fail to even support a normal blind or curtain, and results in the use of decorative ornamentation rather than the goal of eliminating light entry in a well-suited manner.

Often, the materials used for the curtain are light-weight because the installation never reaches beyond the sheet rock, and hence has limited support having typically missed the studs.
