Abstract

A bracket for mounting a U-shaped, flanged head rail of a venetian blind to a support, the bracket having a relatively flat top portion with a hole for a fastening screw and two side portions depending from the top portion with horizontal edges forming shelves for supporting the flanges of the head rail, and with diagonally opposite first vertical edges for guiding the flanges and with diagonally opposite second vertical edges spaced from the flanges sufficiently to permit the mounting bracket to be rotated when the head rail is to be removed from the bracket. The side portions are provided adjacent the second edges with upwardly, outwardly inclined edges permitting one of the flanges to ride up on the inclined edge and onto the support shelves while the other flange is already suspended from the bracket.
