This invention relates generally to curtain or window shade hardware and more specifically to a curtain rod bracket or hanger for supporting curtain rods, drapery rods and the like on window frames, door frames, walls and similar elements of a building structure or to a window shade holder for supporting window shades on window frames of a building structure.
Presently available curtain rod brackets include a base having a hook, prong or collar extending therefrom and adapted to engage the end of a solid or hollow curtain rod and support in relation to a window, for example. The bracket is usually secured to the building by means of nails or screws which are inserted through openings formed in the base. Due to the small size of the bracket and the position of the holes, it is difficult to insert a nail and hold it in position without positioning the fingers where they can be struck by a hammer blow.
