Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0421913A2] A supporting device for a curtain rod with a right-angled plug piece, which may be connected by plugging on the one hand to a connection piece of a rose and on the other hand to the curtain rod. The technical problem involves designing the supporting device in such a way that it may be used to fit the curtain rod at differing distances from the wall. The legs (6, 7) of the plug piece (2) are of differing lengths and each have the same plug profile. <IMAGE>
