SHADE-ROLLER AND THE LIKE.
speifwauon of Letters Patent.
Patented J al1. 7, 1913.
Application filed April 7, 1509. Serial No. 488,385.
`Newark, in the county, of Essex and State 'of New Jersey,
have invented anew and useful Improvement in Shade-'Rollers and the Like, of which the following is' a specification.
`This invention relates' to certain novel and useful improvements in rollers of the kind commonly used in connection with curtain shades, sash balances, like.
As is well known, the ordinary-type o-f tubular roller employed in connection with curtain shades, and similar articles, coinprises a spring-tensionedy roller member having a round pintlei or stud at one end of the roller and an approximately squared 1n an open socket carried by the roller carrying or lattened'pintle at the opposite end of the roller,th e round pintle being adaptedto be inserted within a socket -and the squared intle subsequently being dropped or placed a bracket. To the ordinary curtain roller and the manner of applying and removing the same 'there are incident numerous disadvantages, and these disadvantages are especially present when the shade or curtain is used in connect-ion, `with car lwindows, as it is customary to mount the supporting brackets and the roller at the side under the heading of the car window. When mounting the ordinary type of` roller, it is first necessary to place the .round pintle in the socket of its bracket, and then raise the opposite end of the squared or-attened pintle and drop Fthe latter in the openmouthed bracket. It -is the practice when inserting these springactuated shade rollers in place to first put the winding spring under tension and lock the flat pintle to the roller by thepawl, and then, after the pintle is in place in the bracket, torelease the roller from the pintle by disengaging the pawl. When inserting `the ordinary roller in the brackets it often happens that there is` not room above the bracket to raise the squared pintle high enough to enter the mouth of the bracket, and furthermore when necessa remove the roller, especially when use 1n' connection with car window shades, it is necessary: to use a pin, wire or other small instrument to put the spring roller pawl in thepintle notch to lock therollerto the awnings and the V easily and quickly pintle to preserve the tens-ion of thelsprin-g a citiand this is always a ditlicult thing to do,
of sight.
There a metal plug and pintle is employed in connection with the roller the latter is always made of an exact, given length and if the widths between the window posts differ slightly, as is frequently the case, the roller is not adjust-able so as to be lengths ened or shortened, so that the postsmust be cut away where they are too close together or blocked out where tliey are too far apart. Sometimes, the roller is made in parts or sections by employing a wooden plug, so that when theV operator is hanging the curtain he may adjust the length -of the curtain roller by pulling out the plug to the desired length and then driving in a small tack to fasten the tin casing of the roller to the plug, or by prickpunching the tinyinto the wooden plug so as to prevent the plug from accidentally slipping or yielding in the tin casing of the roller. Furthermore, where/the rollers are, used in positions where gravity does not hold the 'roller in an open mouthed bracket, a special bracket must be employed and placed on the roller before such ybracket is 'screwed to the post and in order to remove the roller from the window the bracket must alsobe removed, Furthermore, where itis necessary to have the roller y longer than the distance between the face of the posts a boring is the posts to allow the seating of the roller,
ordinarily made in,
in which case an adjustable wooden plug is i necessarily employed, the roller being made too short, and after the roller is placed in position, is extended lengthwise into the bracket and the tin casing of cylinder of thel roller then. fastened to the plug, as before recited. These are some of the disadvantages incident to the ordinary construction of a spring-roller and to the manner of mounting and dismounting the same, and in `the present instance it is my purpose to provide a shade or -curtain roller,
especially designed for use in .car service, which will overcome these disadavantages and inconveniences. Further,.itismyMpnrpose to provide aroller of such construction that it can be inserted into its brack of raising the same be as easily and 119 ets without the necessity above the brackets and may Jie quickly removed without catching the pawl in the pintle notch of the roller. Furthermore, the roller will be automatically adjusted to its proper lengt-h so as to compensate for variations in thewidth between the posts of the window, a construction especially useful, as it avoids the use of the open-mouthed bracket and .the roller will not .have end movement to shorten under use, or through careless work on the part of the operator, and thus fall from the bracket.
The invention consists in the construction, con'ibinationl and arrangement of parts set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claims.`
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in detail, Figure 1 is a longitudinal secn tional view of a roller embracing my improvements, sai-d view illustrating the roller in its mounted position of use; Fig. 2 is al cross sectional View on the line 2-2 Iof Fig. 1, a shade being shown in position mounted on the roller; Fig. 3 is a view on the line 5 5 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.v
Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, A, A indicate the side posts or frame of a window, preferably a car window, and 5 indicates a socketed bracket for receiving the' round pintle or stud-of the shade roller B, while 6 designates a closed bracket having a socket. for receiving. the squared or flattened pintle or stud of the roller B.
Referring to the roller B shown in Fig. 1, such roller comprises preferably a metallic cylinder 7 having therein the wooden plug 8 held in position by prick-punchingthe tin as at 9. This p n plug 8 is provided with a socket 10 for the reception of the rod 11 .of the roller tensioning spring 12,
i one end of the latter being fastened as at 13 erably of a t to thc wooden plug while the opposite end 14 isysecured to the rod 11, said rod at its outer end being socketed as at 15 in the rear of the ratchet 17 rotatable in the end wall 16 of the roller.
The numeral 17 designates the ordinary ratchet for the spring and 18` indicates the pawl therefor, the pawl and ratchet being, as is usual, at the end of the roller carrying the squared or flattened pintle or stud.
It is to the opposite end of the roller that my inveuti on particularly relates. A thrust plug 19 of any suitable material, and prefliameter and contour to conform `to the shape of the innery side of the cylinder, is inserted within the cylinder and is held in position by prick-punching', as at 20, or by any other suitable means. Through the Wall'21 ofthe plug 19 I project the rod 22 carrying at its'inner end a head 23, the outer end of said rod, as at 24, forming the round end or pintle adapted to lie in the socket of the bracket 5. Within the end of the cylinder of the roller I insert the cylindrical plug or cap 25, the outer wall 26 thereof facing the bracket and having the pintle 27 secured to the cylindrical plug 25, and projecting beyond the endl of the plug. A spring 28 is provided, preferably coiled around the rod 22, one end of said spring bearing against the inner surface of wall 26 of said plug 25, whileV the opposite end bears against wall 21 of thrust plug 19. From this construction it will be seen that by compressing or forcing the cylindrical cap or plug 25 within the tube or cylinder, the pintle'24 is also `moved inward, thereby shortening the normal distance between it and the flat pintle and permitting the roller to be inserted between the posts. As soon as the round pintle 24 has been placed in its bracket 5 the flat pintle may be placed in alineinent with the socket in the bracket 6 and then t-he'pressureon the plug 25 released, so that the expansion' spring 28, ref
turning to its normal or expanded position, carries with it the plug 25 and the rod 22, thereby seating the roller in position. It will thus be noted that this roller compensates for the varying distances liable to be incurred in various windows; that is to say, it'l the cylinder be manufactured o-f a length to normally lit a given window or set of windows the distance between the fiat and round pintles may be shortened or lengthened as desired, to suit the condition at hand. v
In order that the end plug 25 may -not rotate within, portion of the roller or cylinder 7, a groove is formed longitudinally of the end plug but may rotate with the body 25, and a tongue y is formed longitudinally and extending inwardly of'cylinder 7 and adapted to-lie in the groove m'. The tongue y is `preferably 4formed by bending in the metal of which the cylinder 7 is formed thus providing an open groove or slot in the surface of the-cylinder, and by extending this slot the entire length of the cylinder, as shown in the drawings, a curtain or belt C 'may be mounted thereon by means of a rod, cord or other suitable member 37 positioned longitudinally in the slot. It will thus be seen that the end plug 25 will rotate with the body of the roller or cylinder 7, the free adjustmentor movement of the end plug 25 longitudinally in eitherdirection within the cylinder 7 being in no way interfered with.
The elements 19 and 26, with their asso ciated parts, constructed and so related as above described, constitute in an entirety an extension device which is adapted rto be insei-ted bodily in the open end of a hollow shade roller, the same being applicable generally to any of the hollow shade rollers now on the marketg It will lbe noted that a type of roller of,

C no 5 h L C C. 3
this character may be speedily and quickly placed in position and always securely mounted or held in brackets by the tension means, tending toforce the pintles outward.
Where Il have herein used the term roller I do not mean to be necessarily limited to a cylindrical or tubular body, nor to a support for a curtain, shade or the like, formed of metal, such as tin or other suitable material, but I use this term in its broad sense, that is, as indicating a rod, stickor the like, for supporting the curtain, shade, window, window sash, awning, or similar article, and therefore I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the.
shape of the support nor to the material of which it is constructed.
i/Vhile INhave herein shown and describedl one embodimentv of my invention, I wish it to be understood that I do not conine my^ self to the precise form of construction herein delineated, but that modification and variation 'may be made without'depa'rting from the spirit of my invention or exceeding the scope of the claims.
Having thus described my invention, what- I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is Y 1. A shade roller having a pintle'at one end and a socket at the other end, a cylin drical member slidable in said socket and carrying a pintle at its outer end, a rod secured to the cylindrical member and having a stop at its free end portion, a thrust plug fixed in the said socket and having an open ing through which said rod slides, and a spring between the said cylindrical member and said thrust plug tending to thrust said cylindrical member outward. i
2. A shade roller made in two parts, the main part having a pintle at one end and a socket atthe other end, a thrust plug secured in the socket and having an opening, theother roller section consisting of a cylindrical member slidable in the socket and carrying a pintle, an inwardly projecting rod having its recess carried bythe cylindrical member and'projecting through the opening 1n said thrust plug and having a stop, and a spring on the rod and between lthe cylindrical member and thrust plug exerting its force thereon to move the cylindrical member outward.
