Patent ID: 7637302

Claim:
A system for mounting a headrail for a covering for an architectural opening on a mounting bracket comprising in combination: a headrail having a support arm and a wall spaced therefrom to define a pocket therebetween, and a mounting bracket including: (a) means for connecting the mounting bracket to a frame of an architectural opening; (b) a base adapted to be inserted into said pocket; (c) a depressible catch arm on said base movable from a neutral position operatively engageable with said wall to releasably secure said base in said pocket; (d) a lock bar mounted on said base in operative relationship with said catch arm, said lock bar being slidably movable between locking and release positions, said lock bar engaging said support arm in said locking position to prevent depression of said catch arm to positively secure said headrail to said mounting bracket; (e) a lock lever operatively associated with said lock bar for moving said lock bar between said locking and release positions, wherein the lock lever has an arcuate push-pull slot, said arcuate push-pull slot slidably receiving a portion of the lock bar so that as the lock lever is pivoted between locking and release positions the lock bar is actuated so that it slides between corresponding locking and release positions; and (f) a resilient member adapted to bias said lock bar to said locking position.
