A rod used for supporting window dressings and the like on a wall surface is supported on the wall by a base plate. This plate is secured to the wall studding and embedded within the wall to support an internally-threaded tubular member which projects through the plaster, paneling, etc. for attachment at the outer face thereof to a carrier plate. The carrier plate has a trapezoidal shape with a plurality of holes therein in a spaced-apart arrangement designed for an attachment by self-threading screws to holder brackets used to support the curtain rod. The carrier plate can be rotated to a desired orientation at the end of the tubular member for supporting different types of curtain rods.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim as my invention: 1.
A support apparatus to carry a window dressing and the like, said apparatus comprising the combination of: rod means adapted to support said window dressing, adapter brackets to releasably support the ends of said rod means while spaced outwardly from the finished face surface of a wall, two base plates embedded within said wall at two locations which are spaced apart and inwardly spaced from said finished face surface, connector means carried by each of said base plates to project outwardly from said finished face surface, two carrier plates each including means to releasably secure an adapter bracket of said rod means thereto and thereby support an end of said rod means while said carrier plates abut in a flush relation with the finished face surface of the wall, and fastening means to secure each of said two carrier plates to said connector means for transferring the load carried by said rod means onto the wall by said two base plates.
2.
The support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said connector means includes an internally-threaded tubular member projecting outwardly from said finished face surface, and wherein said fastening means include a screw having threads for mating engagement with the threads of said tubular member.
3.
The support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said base plate includes a rectangular plate having a plurality of spaced-apart openings arranged to receive fastening members for attaching said rectangular plate onto a face of a wall supporting stud within said wall.
4.
The support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said carrier plate has a trapezoidal shape with a plurality of openings lying at spaced-apart locations along lines having an intersection point within the trapezoidal shape of the carrier plate.
5.
The support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said carrier plate has a trapezoidal shape with a plurality of openings lying at spaced apart locations at opposite sides of a mounting opening in said plate for receiving said fastening means
