Description

HARRY OGLESBY, OF CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA.
WINDOW-SHADE ADJUSTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 22, 1913.
Patented Oct. 28, 19.13. Serial No. 756,166.
I '0 aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY OGLESBY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chester, in the county of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Shade Adjusters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates in general to that class of devices which are designed to let down from the top, roller shad-es for ,windows, and particularly to improvements in. the window shade adjuster for which I have obtained Letters Patent No. 1,017,452. In that device a rod carrying a shade roller bracket is mounted for vertical adjustment at each side of the window, and if, when lowering or raising the roller and shade by means of these rods, the operator permits one red to move more than the other at any time, it is possible that the roller at one end may come out of its bearing and drop with the shade, and the object of this invention is to so connect the two bracket carrying rods that they cannot thus drop the shade roller.
To this end, my invention consists in the construction and combination of parts forming a window shade adjuster, hereinafter more fully described, and particularly stated in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure I is a front view of a window shade, showing my adjusting device in service. Fig. II is a fragmentary top view on a larger scale, showing the characteristic features of this invention in service.
Numeral 5 represents a rail having side flanges 6, and adapted to be secured to the window casing by means of screws 7. Brackets 8, of any usual form to serve as bearings for the shade roller 20, are provided with flanges 9, to engage and slide upon the rail flanges 6. A red 10, is rigidly secured to each bracket 8, and is fitted to slide verti-- cally through a lug 11, that is fixed to the rail 5. These rods are thus adapted to slide up and down on the rails 5, and means are provided for securing them at different points. If one rod were moved up or down two inches or more w1thoutmov1ng the other rod, the distance between the bearmg brackets would be increased enough to letone end of the roller fall, therefore I provide a crossbar in two sections 12 and 13, one of which is to be rigidly, yet removably, secured to each of the rods 10, by means of binding screws 14. Clips 15, with binding screws 16,
are provided to secure the two sections 12 and 13 together at any desired point along the sections, in order that the crossbar may be adjusted in length to locate the brackets the two sections together at different points, r
and means for securing each section rigidly yetremovably to one of the said rods.
2. .ln a window shade adjuster, two rods, each carrying a shade roller bracket; bearings for the rods to slide in; a crossbar comprising two sections adapted to slide one upon the other; means for securing the cr0ssbars together at different points, and means for securing the crossbar to both rods substantially as shown and described, whereby the rods and the crossbar constitute a unitto slide like a sash in bearings.
In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHAS. G. WoRmLow, Mrenronnr M. KnLso.
