CURTAIN-SUPPORT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 3,1914.
Application filed August 29, 1912. Serial No. 717,668.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, \VILLIAM H. EDSALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at \Vallingford, New Haven county, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain Supports, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to an improved ourtain support, the same being essentially an improvement upon the structure set forth in my former patent numbered 996,227, dated June 27th, 1911.
In the present instance, the object is to provide in conjunction with the structure set forth in my former patent, an overhead support whereby the upper part of a curtain or portiere may be secured at a point well above the curtain pole so as to completely hide the curtain-supporting elements and so as to properly fill in the space between the pole and the overhead part of the door casing. So far as the parts are in common with the parts shown in my former patent, I will describe the same only generally.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an end elevation of one of my improved curtain supports as it appears in use. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a modification.
The support comprises two side pieces 1-2 preferably connected at their lower ends as at 8, this connection being preferably effected by means of an eyelet rivet 1.
5 is a cross-bar connecting the side bars 1-2 and having thereon by preference antifriction bearing rollers 6'? which rest upon a traverse rod 8 so that the structure may be easily moved to and fro.
9 is an extension which is secured in any suitable manner to one side bar of the frame, said extension 9 being curved inwardly over one of the shoulders 6 or 7, thence bent outwardly and downwardly to form a yielding end 10.
11 represents a curtain or portiere which it is designed to support. This curtain or portiere is connected to the frame first described in any desired manner, for example, by a hook 12, the bill of which may be passed through the eyelet at while the upper part of the curtain or portiere 11 may be secured to the yielding end 10 of the upward extension by stitches indicated at 1 1. The curtain may also be stitched to the main frame by stitches 15, if desired. The method of connecting the curtain to the entire supporting structure may be varied at will. The upper edge of the curtain 11 preferably extends somewhat above the uppermost part of the supporting structure, as indicated in Fig. 1, whereby said supporting structure will be entirely hidden on the side to which the curtain is secured.
In Fig. 1 I have shown the superstructure as being composed of one arm 9. This arm may be duplicated, as indicated in Fig. 2, if desired, a second arm being indicated at 9*, the yielding downwardly projecting end being indicated at 10. \Vhen the superstructure is double, the parts may be connected by a rivet 16, if desired. The superstructure may be formed separately from the sides 1-2 of the main frame, as shown in the drawings, or may be formed integrally therewith, the integral structure being too obvious to require illustration since to make the parts 2-9, for example, integral, would be to simply make the part 2 of sufiicient length to extend upwardly as shown. When the parts are made separately, they may be united in any suitable manner, as by a rivet 17 and a notch and tenon, the tenon being indicated at 18, Fig. 2. By this construction the upper part of the curtain is yieldingly supported so that if the curtain is swung in such a manner as to force the upper edge against the overlying part of the door casing, the arm 10 will yield so as not to either mar the overhead wood work or retard the movement of the curtain to and fro on the traverse rod 8.
As will be observed, the main structure may be economically produced from sheet metal. The sides of the main frame, as in my former patent, are of the outline of a wish bone, thus causing the lower end of the frame to stand well below the rod so that a satisfactory leverage will be provided to en-v able the weight of the curtain to sustain the frame in a substantially vertical position so as to hold the upper edge of the curtain in a proper position.
What I claim is:
1. In a curtain support, a main frame arranged to slide on a traverse rod and provided with a superstructure of resilient material extending upwardly and inwardly from the outer edge of said main frame and thence having its upper extremity extended outwardly to receive the upper end of a curtain, said upper extremity providing a yielding support for the curtain attached thereto.
In a curtain support, a main frame arranged to slide on a traverse rod and provided with a superstructure comprising complemental bars of resilient material extending upwardly and inwardly from opposite edges of said main frame and thence having their upper extremities extended outwardly to receive the upper ends of curtains at opposite sides of said main frame, said upper WILLIAM H. EDSALL.
