- a) a blind mounting bracket device b) a first bracket housing including a first holding wall member having an upper channel, a lower channel, a first side perimeter edge and a second side perimeter edge;
c) said first holding wall member having mounted thereon an outer first curtain rod holding prong member and a an inner second curtain rod holding prong member;
d) said upper channel engaging and being joined to an upper receiving channel of the conventional blind bracket mounting device, and said lower channel engaging and being joined to a lower receiving channel of the conventional blind bracket mounting device in order to interlock said upper and lower channels of said first bracket within said upper and lower receiving channels of the conventional blind bracket mounting device for preventing one end of the blind assembly from falling out of the blind bracket mounting device;
e) a second bracket housing including a second holding wall member having an upper channel, a lower channel, a third side perimeter edge and a fourth side perimeter edge;
f) said second holding wall member having mounted thereon an outer third curtain rod holding prong member and an inner fourth curtain rod holding prong member;
g) said upper channel for engaging and being joined to an upper receiving channel of the conventional blind bracket mounting device, and said lower channel for engaging and being joined to a lower receiving channel of the conventional blind bracket mounting device in order to interlock said upper and lower channels of said second bracket within said upper and lower receiving channels of the conventional blind bracket mounting device for preventing the other end of the blind assembly from falling out of the blind bracket mounting device;
h) said curtain rod holding prong members are for receiving one or more curtain rods thereon; and
i) said interlocking of said upper and lower channels of said first and second brackets within each of the upper and lower receiving channels of the conventional blind bracket mounting devices, respectively, such that one or more curtain rods attached to said first and second brackets can hold in excess of five (5) pounds of weight of valances, curtains or drapes when in an assembled state and in operational use thereof.

Abstract
Curtain mounting brackets for curtain rods for use with conventional blind bracket mounting devices of a blind assembly for attaching one or more curtain rods thereon in order to hold a curtain and/or valance thereto. The curtain mounting brackets include a first bracket housing having a first holding wall member with an upper channel, a lower channel, a first side perimeter edge and a second side perimeter edge; the first holding wall member having mounted thereon a first curtain rod holding prong member and a second curtain rod holding prong member; and the upper and lower channels of the first holding wall member are for engaging and being joined to an upper and lower receiving channel of the conventional blind bracket mounting device, respectively for preventing one end of the blind assembly from falling out of the blind bracket mounting device. The curtain mounting brackets also include a second bracket housing having a second holding wall member with an upper channel, a lower channel, a third side perimeter edge and a fourth side perimeter edge; the second holding wall member having mounted thereon a third curtain rod holding prong member and a fourth curtain rod holding prong member; and the upper and lower channels of the second holding wall member are for engaging and being joined to an upper and lower receiving channel of the conventional blind bracket mounting device, respectively, for preventing the other end of the blind assembly from falling out of the blind bracket mounting device. The curtain rod holding prong members of the first and second holding wall members are used for receiving one or more curtain rods thereon.
