Abstract:
1. A mount comprising: an elongated body having a longitudinal axis; a curtain interface positioned at a top surface of the body; a coupler adapted for coupling the elongated body to a mounting member, the mounting member having a longitudinal axis, the coupler including an interface adapted to receive the mounting member, a coupling position of the coupler being adjustable over a range of positions relative to the longitudinal axis of the body, the coupler including a guide mechanism that limits rotation of the body relative to the mounting member to a single degree of rotation, permitting the longitudinal axis of the body to rotate relative to the mounting member in a common rotational plane; and the mounting member comprising an adjustable-length pole, the body being rotatable relative to the mounting member, the mounting member including a compression mechanism along the longitudinal axis thereof, the mounting member being of a sufficient length to be fixed between a first surface of a room and a second surface of the room, the compression mechanism configured to urge the curtain interface toward one of the first surface and the second surface of the room when under compression between the first and second surfaces of the room to retain the mounting member and body in a fixed position relative to the first and second surfaces of the room.
