To all wiz-om tmaycamera:
Be it known that I, SIMON MENUSKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chattanooga, in the county of Hamiltonand State 0i Tennessee, haveinvented n'evvl and useful improvements in vertically-Adjust-` able WindoWShade'FiXtures,'0f Whichthe.
l l tle C is preferably in the form of a. closed following is a specification. A
This invention relates to fixtures for supporting in, a 'vertically adjustable manner Window shades', particularly those mounted upon spring rollers.v
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front view of 4a "Window equipped with a5 my invention. Fig. 2 is a sideielevation y.of the saine. Fig-3 is a perspective view, on a larger scale than Figs. 1 landvQ, of the adjustable bracket or hanger in Which the "non- ,rotatin'g pintle' of the shade roller is supported. Fig'. 4 is a perspective vievvyof`V a pintle adapted to be supported in the brackets s hoivn in Fig-f3.- Fig.` 5-is.a perspective holding the non-rotating pint-le in the 'seat in the braeket. .Figf is a perspective view vof. the 4bracket for' supporting the rotating 'pintle or gudgeon ofthe shade roller.' Fig.
7 is aperspective .vien7 cfa' slightlydiEerent form of the' invention. 'Fig ,Sis a detached view of/the rotatable pintle.
Referring tothe drawings, A designates ',theshade supported upon a spring roller B which is providedat its opposite ends respectively with a plntle or ,gudgeon C hav.-
-.35 ingaL cylindriealbearing,.and a pintle l),
the bearing' or seatportion of which is4 squared or angular in s liapeso that When set in its bearing it does not rotate. This pintle is connected Withthe spring cthe'roller 40 and is provided With, projections Wthwhich engage the-dogs carried by the roller, these parts constituting elements -ofa spring curtain roller whichneed no`t.'be illustrated or l further describedv herein', as they; 'are Well 46 knovin in ythe art.
At either side of' the Window is supportedl a vertically disposed rcd'2 upon which are mounted the brackets'Gr.sufprtsin which are seated the pintles of the curtain roller, 50 the brackets being adjustable vertically upon thcrcdr; so that the curtain may be adjusted to the desired position. These brackets are preferably formedof` steel Wire shaped as illustrated .zin the drawings.. T-hey are in general configuration of'Mishape having legs 3 3, preferably 'parallel .with each ing `thus maintained whetheraapplied 'toa shade roller .or not The central portion 5 view, detached, of. the retaining piece .forv

other, terminating inloopsl'adapted .tof
Y encircle the rods 2 on' which the brackets 'slidel The interniediate portion 5 of the "60, 'Ward, that'is', toward the loops et, and `is.-
bracket `between the legs 3,-is yextended in:-
shaped to .form a bearingdor a pintleof the roller. The bearing GA `for the rotatingf'pim loop surrounding -the' cylindrical bearing portion of t-lie-pintle,.which latter may bea brad of s uitable construction adapted to bev d riveninto the end or' the shaderoller, as. illustrated in Fig. 8. Nhen this bearing is ot" the Vbrad construction, as illustrated, it '70,
' may be placed in its seat during the `'course o fthe. manufacture of the bracket, the pintle a'nd its supporting bracket beingthus'as"- sembled in proper relations for use; and beofthe bracket thatlsuppcrtsthe non-rotat-- ing Apintle of the roller, is provided With an. open seat 7 formed by an off-Set orbend in thejwire, as indicated in the drawings, intoy which Ina-y be set the bearing portion of the pintle D. The seat 7 and the bearing portion of the p-intle' D that 'engages therewith" are so shaped' with reference tol each other that the latter Will not turn in` theseat., A
In'order to holdthe pintle B' in place.'
ltvithin the bracket, Ii'einploy a retaining' piece Sadapted to close the open side' of the seat 7. This retaining piece may be of the shape illustratedin Fig. 5, Where itis rep- 9o resented as' being formedof a thin piece of metal of substantially U-shape, the legfsot'.I which are adapted to straddle the indent-ed or bent part ofthe bracket constitutingrthe seat '7. The'open end of the slot 9 in the plate Which constitutes the retaining,g piece S 'may be closed after @the piece has been put in place .by an encirclingwire 10-"or in any other suitable Way. Instead ofeniploying alatslotted plate, a ring l1, shown in F ig. may be employed Vto retain the pintle in its seat.
The two legs 3-3 rof the bracket may be rconnected by Aa cross piece. 20, which is looped around them' 'andI serves to 105 strengthen and make rigid the bracket. rflicv upper end of this cross piece may be extended beydnd the bracket Where it is termed into a loop l2.\vhich serves as the ci" attachment for the cord lil bv lli? o the bracket' is suspended. v; pass over pulleys 14s-l5 supA upon base pieces or plates 16 which are at. tached to the upper ends of the rods 2, the rods at this point being preferably flattened to form a good bearing `for the attachment of the carrying plates 16. Therollers are preferably covered by a ca plate or housing 17. The rollers are pre erably of different sizes, the larger ones, 15, being arranged above the others. i The free ends of the cords 13 are adapted to'be made fast to a hook or other attachment 18 carried by the casing at the side of the window. The cord that goes to the bracket on that side of the window which is nearest the hook 18 passes up and around the lower pulley 14, and then drectly to the hook. The other cord passes from its bracket over the larger pulley 15 carried by the rod on which that bracketv slides, thence across to the other pulley 15 and from thence to the hook 18.` By making the pulle s of di-iferent sizes as shown, the cords are ept separate throughout practically their entire course. By provlding two rollers ateach side of the window frame, the hook 18 or other attachment to which the ends of the cords are secured may, with equal advantage, be situated at either side of the window.
lVhat I claim is:- The combination with a window shade, its supporting roller, a pair of uides at Ythe sides of thewindow, and brac 'ets in` which' ythe shade roller is sup orted free to independently slide upon t e said guides, of a pair of rollers supported near the upper end of each guide, the, rollers of each pair being of dilferent'diameters, the larger ones above, and arranged with their axes in substantially ,the same vertical plane, and independent `said attachment, substantially as described.
