In a spring-loaded curtain mount, the mount includes a pole interface at a proximal end, a compressive mechanism, and a head at a distal end. The pole interface is adapted to receive the end of a standard length adjustable pole or a painter's pole. The compression mechanism is disposed between the proximal end of the mount and the head. The mount includes a coupling device adapted to receive a portion of a curtain. During installation, the curtain mount is coupled to the end of an extension pole and the length of the pole is adjusted such that the combined length of the pole and mount is slightly longer than the distance between the floor and ceiling. At ground level, a portion of the curtain is attached to the head of the curtain mount. The curtain and mount are raised to the ceiling and the mount and pole are compressed between the floor and the ceiling. This compressive force operates to urge the head toward the ceiling, securing the mount in place.

[What is claimed is:] [1.]an interface at a proximal end of said mount adapted for coupling the mount to an extension pole;a compression mechanism along a longitudinal axis of said mount;a head at a distal end of said mount having an upper first engaging surface extending transverse to said longitudinal axis, said head and said interface coupled to opposite ends of said compression mechanism, said compression mechanism biased to urge said head away from said interface;a clip having a lower second engaging surface adapted to substantially interface with said first engaging surface, and an upper surface; anda retaining member for removably securing the first and second engaging surfaces, such that when in an engaged position, the first and second engaging surfaces substantially interface, and such that when in a disengaged position, the first and second engaging surfaces separate.
