HELEN NEWTON, OF PLATTSBURG, NEW YORK.
WINDOW-SHADE HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 2 6, 1912.
Application filed. August 12, 1912. Serial No. 714,653.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, I-IELEN NEWTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Plattsburg, in the county of Clinton and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVindow- Shade Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to a device for holding window shades in a fixed position.
An object of the invention is to provide a structure readily attachable to a window jamb, which will engage a window shade, to prevent the same from being blown laterally by air currents.
A further object of the invention is to provide a detachable holder, the holding means of which can be adjusted and also swung out of normal position when not being used.
With these and other objects in view the invention comprises certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements ofparts, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings: Figure 1 shows the invention applied to the window jamb, the holder being in position; Fig. 2 is a View similar to Fig. l, the holder being shown detached from the shade. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the center of the holder. Fig. 4 is a sectional view through a modified form of holder. Fig. 5 is a plan view of a spring member described below.
Like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The general embodiment of this invention comprises a rigid plate to which is pivoted a spring arm, the end of which is adapted to engage a rubber strip secured to the rigid base for holding the shade in place.
In order that a more complete understanding may be had of the invention reference will be had tothe drawings.
Referring particularly to Fig. 3, it will be seen that a base 1, preferably of metal, has secured thereto a ring of rubber or other frictional material. For convenience this base 1 is made circular and the strip of rubber 2 is also made circular, being designed to extend around the periphery of base 1. Secured to the base 1 in the center thereof is a place 3 having a shoulder 4, from which extends a suitable screw 5. Vhile this specific construction has been shown, it is to be understood that any method of securing the screw 5 to the plate 1 can be made use of. A spring 6, made of suitable dimensions, has one end thereof perforated, the hole in said end being slipped over the screw 5, and a nut 7 secured upon screw 5 to hold the spring 6 with any desired degree of tension. While the spring 6 has been shown as having one leaf, it is to be understood that the same may be laminated, or have other construction which will adapt it best to holding the shade in place. The outer end of spring 6 is fiattened and has secured thereto a handle 8 which may be of any desirable construction. Whether the spring 6 be laminated or be formed of a single leaf as indicated in Fig. 3, it is desirable that that part of the spring under handle 8, which engages the rubber portion 2 be of such form as to fit closely over the said rubber portion 2. Suitable holes are provided in the base for securing the holder to the jamb of the window. In the view illustrated in Fig. 4 a rounded screw 9 is secured to the underside of the spring 6 and held by the handle 8', the object of the rounded edges of the screw 9 being to prevent the tearing and ripping of the shade as the latter slips under the screw 9.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the holder is secured to the jamb of the window at a point approximately one quarter way up the jamb from the sill. In a posit-ion of non-use, as indicated in Fig. 2, the spring 6 is pointing away from the shade, and when it is desired to lower the shade and hold the same against lateral movement by air currents passing through the open window, it is merely necessary to swing spring 6 into the position shown in Fig. 1, when the shade will be effectively held against displacement.
l/Vhile only one holder has been shown on each window jamb, it is to be understood of course that two holders could be used, one being secured to each side of the jamb.
From the construction shown it will be apparent that the spring member 6 will have the outer end thereof in close engagement with the shade to force the latter upon the rubber 2, the anti-friction surface of the rubber, together with spring 6 serves to prevent the shade from slipping.
If found desirable, the rounded nut 9 may be expanded in the form of an arc, the center of which will be the screw 5, so that all points of the arc will overlap the rubber strip 2, this construction affording a larger holding surface for securing the shade.
Other changes may be resorted to, within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. In a shade holder, a base, an upraised strip of friction material, and a spring pivoted to the base,'the outer end of the spring engaging the friction material.
2. In a shade holder, a base, an upraised friction surface secured to the base, a spring handle pivoted to the base, and a surface H upon the lower side of the spring contacting throughout with the friction surface.
3. In a shade holder, a base, a screw projecting from the base, a spring pivoted to the screw, a set screw for adjusting the tension of the spring, and an upraised strip of friction material secured to the base, the outer end of the spring engaging the friction material.
at. In a shade holder, a circular base, a screw secured to the base at the center thereof, a spring member pivoted to the screw, and a circle of upraised friction material secured to the base around the periphery thereof adapted to be engaged by the same part of the spring the latter rotates, whereby the spring may be swung to any position and engage the friction material.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
