Specification of Letters Patent; 1
Application filed April 30, 1914. Serial No. 835,429.
Patented Aug. 25, 1914.
5 has for an object to provide an improved structure which will present to view from the exterior and also from the interior the usual appearance of the ordinary shade and support but will allow an adjustment whereby air may be allowed to pass into the room over the shade.
A further object of the invention is to provide supporting brackets for a plurality of curtain rollers, and-for a curtain or portiere, which brackets are adapted to be secured to the window sash and be moved thereby, thus allowing a free open space above the shades and curtain when the sash is lowered.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a curtain bracket with removable curtain engagingmembers arranged to'hold curtains substantially opposite the glass in the window, and supporting means for a shade and also'for a curtain which will overlap entirely the window opening, and thereby control to a greater or less extent vthe passage of air from the window into the room.
In carryin out the objects of the inverttion the brac ets are preferably secured to the upper sash near the upper part, whereby when the upper sash is lowered a free space is provided for the entrance of air into the room. In forming the brackets the same are made substantially angular in shape so as to fit against the sides of the window frame and overlap the sides of the wall in which the window frame is set in order to resent supporting means for shades in the window frame, and alsosupporting means for a shade and curtain which will entirely cover the W-llldOW frame. The brackets are provided with adjustable mountings whereby the brackets may be properly adjusted in order to fit. difierent sized windows within reasonable limits. A removable sliding and clamping member is also provided whereby the brackets may be easily applled and removed without the use of tools.
In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 1s a horizontal section through a window frame and part of the adjacent-wall, the same showing brackets embodying the invention associated therewith; Fig. 2 is a section through Fig. 1 on line 22; Fig. 3 is a section through Fig. 1 on line 3 -3;
Fig. 4 is a. detailed fragmentary sectional view on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the accompanying drawings by numeral, 1 indicates the trimming arranged against the wall 2, which trimming is associated with the frame 3, which frame carries upper and lower window sashes in the usual manner. The construction of the window frame and sashes is of any preferred type and forms no part of the present invention. The upper sash 4 has connected thereto the brackets 5 and 6, which brackets are designed to support shade rollers 7, 8 and 9, and also a curtain roller 10.
In forming brackets 6 a substantially l shaped bar 11 is provided, the outer section 12 being arranged vopposite the finishing strip 1 while the inner section 13 is arranged opposite the frame 3 and adjacent thereto. Extending outwardly and substantially at right angles to section 12 is a projection 14 which carries apressed out portion 15 having an aperture therein for receiving the pintle of roller 9. The extension 14 is provided with an aperture through which the rivet or bolt 16 is passed, which rivet or bolt pivotally connects arm 17 to extension 14. In order to limit the downward swinging pivotal movement of the arm 17 theJ'ear part of the arm is provided with overlapping hook members 18 and 19. This allows a slight upward pivotal movement of arm 17, but will not allow a downward pivotal movement farther than to the position shown in Fig. 2. Arm 18 at the outer end is provided with an aperture for receiving one end of the curtain pole 10, I
lar to arm 17 so that the opposite end of pole 10 is properly supported. In fact, bracket 5 is constructed similar to bracket 6 and the various parts associated therewith are duplicates to the parts associated with bracket 6 except that the supporting mem-.
The turned-over portions 25 and 26 which form the channels for section 13 extend preferably from near the outer end of the holder 24 to the sliding portion 27. The sliding portion'27 is formed with bent-down edges 28 and 29 (Fig. 2) so as to readily fit into the turned-over portion 30 and 31, with the retaining plate The retaining plate 32 may bepermanently secured in any desired manner to the window sash 4, as for instance by screws, and the plate 27 slidingly fitted thereon at any time. In order to hold the plate 27 together with the holder 24 properly in place and against accidental movement a set screw 33 is provided in plate 27 which is caused to press against the retaining plate 32 and thereby lock plate 27 against movement. By this construction and arrangement th plate 27 and all the parts carried thereby may be easily applied and removed as the only part that is permanently fixed is the plate 27. It will be observed that section 13 slidingly fits beneath the turned-over portions 25 and 26 (Fig. 4) but the individual lower bracket 34 and 35 are provided with turned-over portions 36 and 37 which slidingly fit over the edges of the holder 24, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 4. Set screws 38 and 39 are provided for the individual brackets 34 and 35 in order to clamp the sam against movement on holder 24, and also to clamp the section 13 against movement. The brackets 34 and 35 co-act with similar individual brackets 20 and 21 on bracket 5 so as to properly hold rollers 7 and 8 in position and allow the same to operate in the usualmanner of the well known shade roller now on the market. Bracket 5 is also provided with a notched portion 40 which co-acts with the aperture in the embossed portion 15 for roperly accommodating roller 9, whereby t e roller 9 may act in the usual manner. It will be observed that by reason of the section 12 of the brackets 5 and 6, roller 9 overlaps the window opening an appreciable extent, and by the rovis'ion of the arms 17 the roller 10 is slightly.
longer than roller 9 so that the curtain 41 arranged on roller 10 will cover or hide the respective rollers and the shades connected therewith. By securing the brackets 5 and 6 to the upper part ofsash 4 the roller 7 will be in proper position for supporting a shade which may be observed from the exterior, and roller 8 i designed to support a shade for observation from the interior. However, the shade on roller 8 cannot be observed from the interior when a curtain on roller 9 is being used, which curtain practically confines the air in the Window opening, and allows the same to escape properly at the top or over the roller. When the window sash 4 is lowered the air from the outside may easily enter without coming in contact with any of the shades, and Without blowing the curtain 41. In thi way a large or small amount of air may be admitted at the upper part of the room and yet the various shades and curtains retained properly in position.
What I claim is 1. In a device of the character described. a pair of brackets, means for connecting an exterior shade With said brackets, means for connecting an interior shade with said brackets, a pair of pivotally mounted arms arranged on the outer ends of said brackets, said arms being formed with apertures and with means for limiting the. movement of the arms in one direction, means for clamping said arms against movement in either direction, and a curtain pole mounted in the apertures in said arms.
2. In a device of the character described, the combination with a window, of a plate connected to the upper sash of the window, said plate being formed with a pair of guideways, a bracket designed to be supported by each of said plates, each of said brackets being provided with a locking sliding member fitting into the ways in said plate, means, for locking said sliding member to said plate, a telescoping section, means for locking the telescoping section to the body of the bracket, means arranged on said telescoping section for receiving and supporting a roller, a pair of individual roller brackets mounted on the body of said first mentioned bracket, and a clamping screw for each of said individual brackets for clamping the same against movement.
3. In a device of the character described, a shade roller bracket comprising a supporting plate, a body formed with a turned-over end slidingly fitting against said plate, means for locking said turned-over end to 'said plate, a telescoping section interlocking with said body, said telescoping section having a bent over arm which extends at right angles to said body, the end of said arm being formed with means for receiving the end of a shade roller, a pair of individual shaped roller brackets slidingly mounted on said body, and a locking member for each of said individual shaped roller brackets, said locking member being adapted to engage said telescoping section for locking the same in any of its adjusted positions.
