Abstract
A curtain rod and bracket assembly in which the rod sections have a front wall and upper and lower U-shaped flanges extending lengthwise along the rear side of the front wall. Rod end brackets are provided for supporting the ends of a rod section and the rod end brackets are adjustable to vary the angle of projection of the rod end brackets relative to the surface on which the bracket is mounted, and to also adjust the angle at which the rod extends relative to the end bracket, for use in bay and bow windows. A curtain rod connector is formed with end panels adapted for insertion into endwise adjacent rod sections and resilient tabs at one edge of the end panels for engagement with a flange on the curtain rod to hold the curtain rod and connector in assembled relation.
