Abstract
Traverse rod with decorative modular covering. There is provided a traverse rod having a basic rod structure of any of many conventional forms, together with a modular decorative facing, which latter is preferably of molded plastic material, the composite forming as a new product a traverse rod having the appearance of a carved wooden rod at a substantially less expense than that normal for such rods and further having the convenience, adaptibility and reliability of presently known metal rods. While the invention can be used with cut-to-measure traverse rods, it is primarily intended for and finds its greater utility with adjustable traverse rods. The facing material is formed in modular sections which are interlocked together end-to-end and fixed rigidly to the basic traverse rod for support thereon and rigidifying thereof. The operating features and support means are all those of the basic traverse rod.
