Abstract
A drapery rod assembly includes a telescopically adjustable relatively narrow rod of a height greater than heretofore conventional drapery rods and formed in an exaggerated C-shape with a vertical body member having inturned flanges on its upper and lower longitudinal edges. End caps are provided for registry over the ends of the telescopic rod sections and are apertured so that the drapery rod may be mounted on supporting brackets. A longitudinally split tubular member has oppositely disposed outturned angular flanges along the split therein engageable in the inturned flanges of the drapery rod so as to form an enlarged outwardly bowed shape. A foam filler is positioned in sections of the longitudinally split shape to hold the same in engagement with the drapery rod flanges.
