(54) Mounting bracket for a blind


(57) A component 1 has a horizontal support limb 3 with a hook-like flange 8 at one end. A retaining element 9 is pivotally secured to the support limb 3. The element 9 has a flat side 12, a projecting angular nose 13 and a downturned flange 15 for use in rotating the element. The trailing edge of the nose 13 is angled upwardly so that when the headrail is placed against the support limb the nose 13 enters a fixing groove in the headrail and applies an increasing pressure as the retaining element is rotated to grip the headrail between the nose and the support element. The opposite end of the support element is supported by a rib 6 pressed into the support limb. A grub screw 16 threaded into the retaining element 9 can be tightened against the support limb 3 to lock the element in position.
