Abstract
Abstract A festoon support device includes a pair of mounting brackets and a forwardly projecting festoon support arm separably coupled to each of the brackets. A depending loop is integrally formed at the rear portion of each arm to securely allow the arm to rest on a curtain rod without tipping and a spring clip is located on the arm rear top face for engaging a festoon. An angularly adjustable ornament is separably mounted on the front of each arm. The mounting brackets are constructed to be clamped to a wall by underlying wall fastened traverse or other type of rod brackets except common curtain rods, where their use is not necessary, and engaging the screws securing the rod brackets. They are also for use when mounting the festoon holder alone to a surface.

Independent Claim
86 words
A festoon support device comprising a mounting bracket, a forwardly projecting festoon support arm separably coupled at its rear to said mounting bracket, coupling rod coupling means affixed to the rear portion of said support arm and including a forwardly open socket means defined by a lateral U-shaped loop depending from and integrally formed with the rear portion of said festoon support arm for separably receiving a rearwardly directed leg of a curtain rod and an ornament mounted on the front end of said support arm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
A festoon support device comprising a mounting bracket, a forwardly projecting festoon support arm separably coupled at its rear to said mounting bracket, coupling rod coupling means affixed to the rear portion of said support arm and including a forwardly open socket means defined by a lateral U-shaped loop depending from and integrally formed with the rear portion of said festoon support arm for separably receiving a rearwardly directed leg of a curtain rod and an ornament mounted on the front end of said support arm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
