l3 formed parallel to each other and spaced apart shown, and each slot is receive the contracted end of the dog I to hold the brackets in adjusted positions.

In adjusting the bracket plates, the spurs upon the upper plate are pushed down into the top of the casing, the contracted end of the doe inserted in one of the slots in the plate 13 and the spurs in the lower plate brought into contact with the under edge of the casing. after which a swinging movement of the lever l, the pintles oi which are dlll'lltllt l in the ears F, will cause the lower plate to be raised and its spurs will be drawn up into the lower edge of the casing.

lsv reason of the peculiar shape of the dog,

when the same is in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2. with the inwardly bent portion directly underneath the pintles it will serve to hold the plates in locked position; it being" understood that the weight of the shade roll will be supported by the plate A.

What I claim to b ew is;-

An adjustable curtain pole supporting device comprising two bracket plates having spurred ends for engagement with the upper and lower edge of a casing of a window frame. one of said plates having a series of transverse slots therein. ln'aeket arms projeetiu i from the opposite edges of the other plate. a dog having pintles pivotally mounted in said braelce't arms. one end of the do e 'hein contracted and ada itedto eng a e one 5 a I of said slots and its shank portion with an inwardly bent portion adapted to contact with the tare ol the slotted plate at a loca tion substantially underneath the pivotal points of the dog. as set forth.

in testimony whereof l hereunto allix my signature in the n'esence of two witnesses. l lliltll llt E. .VUOIflVUR'lll.
