Abstract:
1. A bracket assembly for adjustably mounting a head rail in spaced relationship to a wall or ceiling said assembly comprising: a stationary base member for mounting to a wall or ceiling surface, the base member comprising an elongated support leg and the support leg having an elongated slot comprised therein, the elongated slot comprising at least opposite first and second inner side wall surfaces; a head rail holder for carrying a head rail, the head rail holder being slidably mounted to the support leg by a stemmed fastener projecting through the slot of the support leg such that the head rail holder is slidable in first and second directions along the support leg; clamping means engageable with at least one of said first and second inner side wall surfaces of the elongated slot of the support leg for releasably retaining the head rail holder in different adjusted positions along the support leg, and actuating means for releasing or engaging the clamping means with said at least one inner side wall surface wherein the clamping means and the actuating means are mounted to the support leg by the stemmed fastener and wherein the actuating means is operatively connected to the clamping means by the fastener allowing linear movement of the actuating means for releasing or engaging the clamping means, the clamping means being an expandable, resilient means that in a first expanded position engages at least one of the inner side wall surfaces of the elongated slot of the support leg of the stationary base member and retains the head rail holder against linear movement in at least one direction and in a second non-expanded position is free of the at least one of the inner side wall surfaces of the elongated slot allowing linear movement of the head rail holder in both directions.
