Definitions

  • the receipt structure may further include a pair of fourth ridges that are spaced from the pair of third ridges along the vertical height of the bracket such that the pair of third ridges and the pair of fourth ridges define a third opening.
  • the receipt structure may further include a pair of fifth ridges that are spaced from the pair of fourth ridges along the vertical height of the bracket such that the pair of fourth ridges and the pair of fifth ridges define a fourth opening.
  • the bracket may include an upper wall with at least one through hole that is configured to receive a fastener to secure the bracket in relation to the mounting surface.
  • FIG. 3 is a partial, rear, plan view of the bracket.
  • brackets may be utilized in a variety of locations (e.g., on a door), and may be configured to support a variety of coverings (e.g., roman shades, blinds, etc.).
  • coverings e.g., roman shades, blinds, etc.
  • the presently disclosed brackets may be used to mount a covering over door glass (e.g., in a French door).
  • brackets are secured to (or adjacent to) an outer (end) face of the mounting surface (e.g., the window, the door, etc., to be covered), whereas in inside-mounted installations, the brackets are secured to inner (side) or top (upper) faces of the mounting surface (e.g., adjacent to the jamb of a door, the jamb or frame of a window, etc.).
  • Each of the ridges 120 includes a flared configuration defining upper and lower contact surfaces 126u, 1261 (FIG. 3), respectively, and a height Hr that increases with distance from the inner wall 122i, whereby the openings 122 each define a maximum height Ho adjacent to the inner wall 112i that is greater than a corresponding dimension (thickness) defined by the flange 202 of the clip 200. More specifically, the ridges 120 each taper vertically at the ends thereof such that the contact surfaces 126u, 1261 are defined by (generally) triangular apices.
  • the tapered configuration at the ends of the ridges 120 reduces the surface area defined by upper and lower contact surface 126u, 1261 as compared to that which would be defined by non -tapered ridges 120, thereby reducing friction during insertion and removal of the flange 202 into and from the receipt structure 118 to facilitate connection of the clip 200 to the brackets 100. More specifically, as seen in FIG. 3, for example,
  • the stop 128 include a (generally) linear configuration defining a rib 130. It should be appreciated, however, that the stop 128 may assume various configuration in alternate embodiments without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. For example, it is also envisioned that the stop 128 may include one or more detents (or other such protrusions), either in addition to, or instead of, the rib 130.
  • the bracket 100 includes one or more guards 132 (FIGS. 1 A, 3) that also extend vertically downward from the upper wall 106 along the height Hb of the bracket 100.
  • the lower body portion 1021 includes a plurality of receptacles 138 (FIGS. IB,
  • the receptacles 138 are supported by (e.g., are formed integrally with) the inner wall 112i and are configured to receive fasteners 142 (FIG. 7) (e.g., screws, nails, etc.) to facilitate securement (connection) of the bracket 100 to the mounting surface S during an inside, side-mounted installation, as described in further detail below. More specifically, the receptacles 138 extend in (generally) parallel relation to the width Wb of the bracket 100.
  • receptacles 138 Although shown as including four receptacles 138 (and four corresponding fasteners 142), it should be appreciated that the number of receptacles 138 and the number of fasteners 142 may be increased or decreased in alternate embodiments without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
  • FIGS. 4-6 illustrate a face-mounted installation, in which a pair of the brackets 100 (e.g., first and second brackets 100) are secured to (or adjacent to) an outer (end) face So of the mounting surface S (e.g., on opposite sides of the window W, the door, etc., to be covered) such that the brackets 100 extend from the outer face So in (generally) orthogonal relation thereto.
  • a pair of the brackets 100 e.g., first and second brackets 100
  • the principles of the installations described below also find applicability to other mounting surfaces S (e.g., doors, etc.).
  • each of the arms 114 and the shoulder 504i may include corresponding arcuate or beveled surfaces 152 (FIG. 3) and 516 (FIG. 6), respectively, such that the arm 114 is forced beneath the shoulder 504i upon the application of force to the brackets 100.
  • the upper wall 106 of the bracket 100 may be positioned adjacent to (or in contact with) the uppermost shoulder 504u to reduce (if not entirely eliminate) spacing between the upper wall 106 and the support member 500 (e.g., to reduce (if not entirely prevent) relative movement between the brackets 100 and the support members 500.
  • brackets 100 are secured to (or adjacent to) an upper (top) face Su of the mounting surface S (e.g., on an upper frame or jamb of the window W) such that the brackets 100 extend in (generally) transverse (e.g., orthogonal) relation to the mounting surface S.
