Claim 5

In a drapery tieback assembly according to claim 3, said detachable connection means on said support bracket extension member having at least one pair of pin members inserted for transverse extension through adjacent pairs of aligned apertures in said arm member and said support bracket extension member.

Claim 6

In a drapery tieback assembly according to claim 1, wherein said wall support portion is provided with an upper and a lower aperture, each receiving a wall-engaging member inserted therethrough, and said wall mounting base is provided with an aperture alignable with one of said upper and lower apertures for interchangeable mounting on either side of a window.

Claim 7

In a drapery tieback assembly wherein a drapery is gathered on opposite sides of a window and secured on each side with a tieback in spaced parallel relation to a sheer curtain extending between the drape and the window opening with a first tieback holder member on each side including a wall support portion, a stem projecting from said wall support portion normal to the wall and terminating in an enlarged decorative knob disposed in front of said drape, the improvement comprising: a support bracket on each side of said window opening including a wall mounting base plate interposed between said wall support portion and the wall, common wall-mounting means comprising a first aperture formed in said wall-mounting base plate aligned with a second aperture formed in said wall support portion, and a wall-engaging member inserted through said aperture to secure said tieback assembly to said wall, an elongated flat arm member extending away from a side edge of said wall mounting base plate normal to said wall and in inwardly spaced, parallel relation to each said tieback holder member, and means for adjustably connecting opposite ends of each said tieback to said stem and said elongated arm member, respectively, comprising first fastener means securing one end of said tieback to said stem, and second fastener means on the opposite end of said tieback inserted into a selected one of a plurality of spaced apertures provided along the length of said elongated arm member and being spaced between said first fastener means and said sheer curtain whereby to position said drapery between said decorative knob and said sheer curtain a predetermined distance in front of and parallel to said sheer curtain; and a support bracket extension member detachably connected to the distal end of each said elongated arm and provided with a plurality of spaced apertures to retain said second fastener means therein and means adjustably spacing said enlarged distal end a predetermined distance from said wall.

Claim 8

In a drapery tieback assembly wherein a drapery is gathered on opposite sides of a window and secured on each side with a tieback in spaced parallel relation to a sheer curtain extending between the drape and the window opening with a first tieback holder member on each side including a wall support portion, a stem projecting from said wall support portion normal to the wall and terminating in an enlarged decorative knob disposed in front of said drape, the improvement comprising: a support bracket on each side of said window opening including a wall mounting base plate interposed between said wall support portion and the wall, common wall-mounting means comprising a first aperture formed in said wall-mounting base plate aligned with a second aperture formed in said wall support portion, and a wall-engaging member inserted through said aperture to secure said tieback assembly to said wall, an elongated flat arm member extending away from a side edge of said wall mounting base plate normal to said wall and in inwardly spaced, parallel relation to each said tieback holder member, and means for adjustably connecting opposite ends of each said tieback to said stem and said elongated arm member, respectively, comprising first fastener means securing one end of said tieback to said stem, and second fastener means on the opposite end of said tieback inserted into a selected one of a plurality of spaced apertures provided along the length of said elongated arm member and being spaced between said first fastener means and said sheer curtain whereby to position said drapery between said decorative knob and said sheer curtain a predetermined distance in front of and parallel to said sheer curtain; and a support bracket extension member detachably connected to the distal end of each said elongated arm and provided with a plurality of spaced apertures to retain said second fastener means therein and means adjustably spacing said enlarged distal end a predetermined distance from said wall.

Claim 9

In a drapery tieback assembly according to claim 10, said support bracket extension member being detachably connected to said elongated arm by means of pin members inserted transversely through adjacent pairs of aligned apertures in said elongated arm and said support bracket extension member.
