Arch rod systems

Abstract

An arch curtain rod apparatus for supporting a curtain or drapery in a curved shaped window archway comprising: a flexible rod, a center attacher, a first mounting end, and a second mounting end. The flexible rod is bendable so as to conform to the shape of the curved shaped window archway. The center attacher serves to attach the flexible rod to an apex of the curved shaped window archway and the flexible rod comprises a first mounting end and a second mounting end which serve to provide attachment points for the flexible rod to the two sides of the curved shaped window archway.
