Abstract:
1. A stair rod bracket, comprising: a) a base portion; b) a top portion pivotally connected to the base portion, wherein the top portion and base portion cooperate to define a recess for holding at least a portion of an end portion of a stair rod when the base portion and top portion are rotated toward each other to a closed condition to surround the stair rod; and c) a retainer, securably connected to the base portion and releasably connectible to a receptacle on the top portion, adapted and configured to hold the top portion and the base portion together when the brackets are in the closed condition surrounding the stair rod, wherein the retainer is slidably displaceable from a first position wherein the retainer prevents the base portion and top portion from separating by connecting to the receptacle to a second position wherein the base portion and top portion can be separated and moved apart from each other from the closed condition into an open condition.
