AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method of using a strong adhesive to mount window coverings, like curtain rods, for temporary use. The adhesive is easy to remove and can sustain heavy loads without movement. The technical effect is that users can easily and temporarily mount window coverings without leaving any damage on the wall and can also easily remove them.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, due in part to the countless forms, colors, sizes, and styles of mounting hardware of such window coverings, buyers are often stalled in their quest for the ideal window covering solution.
Brackets may be bundled with the curtain rod conventionally, however it is never bundled with a no-tool adhesive for installation, and the bundles are not always desired if additional customization is desired.
As such, it can take some buyers a great deal of time to weigh all of the options of color of curtains / drapes, style of window covering, color of mounting hardware, length of curtain rods, type of mounts, and other factors, leading to a delay of the installation of the window covering.
Additionally, some buyers may need to purchase additional tools in order to correctly mount and hang the window coverings, leading to additional costs.
As such, the screws traditionally may not be easily moved if the window treatment is not initially installed correctly to be level with the window.
Unsightly holes are left in the wall if such a movement of the mounts is required, or if the user opts for a new form of window covering, such as blinds, which require nearly precise measuring and marking before drilling and screwing them into a fixed position.
Currently, there is no product on the market that provides all necessary components in an “all-in-one” kit, including window treatments, rod(s), mounting brackets which do not require tools, and that cause no damage to walls.
Similarly, there is no solution on the market that provides a damage-free hanging solution which does not require the user to measure the target location.

Abstract

An all-in-one window covering solution and system is described. The system is bundled with all components of a complete window covering solution, including at least one extension rod, at least one window covering, mounts / brackets, and mounting adhesive. The mounting adhesive is preferably configured to be strongly affixed to walls, and yet be flexible enough to be removed without damage to the wall, unlike conventional window covering mounting brackets. As such, the system employs no screws, bolts, or nails, and therefore does not require any tools for installation or removal. All components of the system are included in a single package, facilitating and expediting component selection and final installation. The adhesive component of the system provides for adjustment and reuse of the system if needed.

Description

CONTINUITY[0001]This application is a non-provisional patent application of provisional patent application No. 62 / 514,558, filed on Jun. 2, 2017, and priority is claimed thereto.FIELD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates in general to window covering systems, and more specifically relates to a system for mounting and subsequently hanging a window covering system such that it covers one or more windows with a unitary rod, suspended by hooks, brackets, or mounts that may be repositioned, and are therefore not hard-mounted with screws.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0003]Window coverings are often a necessity for many residences. Either for privacy, or to reduce the heat of sunlight in the summer, window coverings can be quite useful. In particular they are used to block light (not only sunlight), for privacy, energy saving, and noise reduction. Additionally flame retardant curtains exist, which provide both privacy and peace of mind. Presently, a wide variet...
