The invention comprises a front plate 9 hingedly mounted on the opposite ends of which are end sections 10 and 11. Mounted on the front plate 9 is an adjusting retainer 13 through which extends a bolt 14.- having a nut 15 threaded thereon, this bolt being projected through an elongated slot 16 formed in the plate 13 and through the armor brace. 17 which pivotally connects to the Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4- end piece 11. '1 The same arrangement is adopted'for both ends. By loosening the nut 15 the end pieces 11 and 12 may be moved to the desired an ularity relatively to the front plate 950 as to extend or reduce the width of the device depending upon the FA F 'I'C EY I width of the window or windows with which" used.

the mounting of the curtain rods and drape rods may be easily and quickly effected without defacing the building or window casing and at the same time an attractive and pleasing appearance presented as the outer sur face of the plate 9 and the end pieces 10 and 11 may be suitably ornamented. Furthermore, by the adjustable features, the device is adapted for universal use. 7
