Abstract
A support is disclosed for holding the tie back and return of a drapery along a wall or other structure. The support includes a base and extension arm which are formed with corrugations defining elongate ribs and grooves adapted to interfit both for guiding the arm for adjustable positioning along the base and also for preventing twisting of the arm relative to the base. Punched-out projections are formed in the base for securing opposite ends of the tie back. Screw fasteners are mounted through elongate slots formed in the arm to accommodate variable arm positions. The screw fasteners self-form threads as they are screwed into extruded shoulders of openings in the base. The arm and base are adapted to be mounted in inverted position for use on either side of the drapery. The extension arm is also adapted to be alternately mounted either in alignment with the base, or offset below the base where the tie back is to hang at an angle.
