Abstract:
An assembly for hanging a window blind, comprising two brackets and two mounting fasteners, each fastener having a head and a shank; the brackets being mirror images of each other, each bracket being a single, unitary piece fabricated from sheet metal, the bracket having a generally rectangular bottom panel and three rectangular side panels connected thereto, the side panels extending perpendicularly and upwardly from the bottom panel; a first flap which is folded downwardly from the upper edge of one of the side panels, the first flap substantially covering its entire outer surface but being at least slightly separable therefrom downwardly of said upper edge; the first flap defining an elongated slot for slideably receiving the shank of one of the fasteners, so that the head thereof, when the shank is slideably received within the slot, cannot interfere with hanging the window blind from the bracket.
