Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed m 30, 1914. seriaiN 854,0 7.
To all whom .z't may concern:
Be .it known that I, ANNA LE B. HOLLAND, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, county and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Drapery-Pole Supports, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
Clhis invention relates to a class of devices adapted to be used in conjunction with drapery poles.
My invention has for its object primarily to provide a form of support designed to be used for permitting drapery poles of various lengths to be mounted at the windows and doors of buildings, and wherein is employed a socket having two spaced complemental members, or the socket may be composed of a single member. Each member is in the shape of the segment of a circle to provide two spaced upwardly curved arms, and one of the sockets is adju'stably disposed on the inner surface of each stile of the frame of a window or a door so. that the spaces between the arms of the sockets will be in opposed relation to permit the ends of the pole to be inserted therebetween.
Another object of the invention is to pro Vide 0n the socket a laterally extending fastening element, or screw which serves as means to adjustably attach the socket to the frame; and a further object of the invention is to provide a pole support of a simple and efficient construction, and which is susceptible of being manufactured to sell at a very moderate price.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, the said invention being more fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims at the end of the description.
In the drawing, Figure l is a fragmentary view of a window frame with one form of the device embodying my invention applied thereto, and which shows the manner of its use for supporting a drapery pole. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a slightly different form of the device, and Fig. 4: is a side elevation ofthe device taken on the line IIII of Fig. 3.
The form of the device, or pole support Shown in Figs. 1 and 2 has a socket 10 composed of two complemental members lland 12. These parts ofthe device are preferably integrally made ofa single strip of comparatively thick stifl wire by forming on one end of the wirea loop, or eye," as 14. This end portion of the wire is curved laterally and up g ardly after which is bent slightly inwardly and forwardly. The wire is bent slightly'inwardly, and curved down: wardly in a lateral direction for I being curved transversely, then bent laterally and upwardly afterwhich it isbent slightlyinwardly. The members of the socket are then completed bybending the wire slightly inwardly, then laterally, and inwardly toward the center of the eye 14:. This end portion of the wire is in turn guided through the eye 14:. .By forming the complemental members 11 and 12 in this manner, each member hasa body portion 1? of the shape of the segment of a circle to provide spaced upwardly disposed arms 15, 15?,and 16,16. The upper ends of the arms 15 and 16 are thereby connected, and the upper ends of thearms 15 and 16 are likewise integrally formed. By also bending the upper end parts of the arms of the members toward and slightly laterally from each other, as shown, extending clamping parts 17 and 18 are provided. Serving as means to permit the socket 10 to be adjustably attached to the frame of a window or door a fastening element, or screw 19 is provided by forming the end portion of the wire which is passed through the eye 14 of a desired length which is disposed longitudinally on a line rearwardly with respect to the center of the bottom of the body portions 1 1 of the members of the socket. The free end of the wire is tapered to a point, and the wire as well as its tapered end is screw threaded, as at 20.
In Figs. 3 and 4 are illustrated a form of the device wherein the socket, as 21, is composed of a single member made preferably of a strip of spring metal having a body portion 22 curved in the shape of the segment of a circle, and the upper ends of the two spaced arms 23 and 24 thereby provided are curved inwardly and then outwardly to form extending clamping parts, as 25 and 26. Projecting longitudinally from the center of the bottom of the body portion 22 is a fastening element, or screw 27 which is similar to the screw 19 of the socket 10.
rearwardly,
In practice two of the devices are employed on each window, or door, as 28, and one of the devices is applied to the upper part of the inner face of each stile, as 29 and 30, thereof. By screwing the fastening element of each device into one of the stiles of the frame the sockets will be disposed so that the passages between the arms thereof are in opposed relation. A drapery pole, as 31, may then be disposed so that its ends will be guided between the clamping parts of the arms of the sockets so as to rest in their body parts, and the pole will thereby be removably supported, the clamping parts serving to hold it against accidental displacement. "When it is desired to accommodate poles of various lengths one or both of the devices are adjusted accordingly to and from each other by screwing the fastening elements inwardly or outwardly of the stiles of the frame. The distance between the sockets of the devices will thereby be increased, or lessened as occasion requires.
In the foregoing description, I have embodied the preferred form of my invention, but I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself-thereto as I am aware that modifications may be made therein without departing from the principle, or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention, therefore I reserve to myself the right to make such changes as fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A drapery pole support integrally made of wire formed to provide a socket of the shape of the segment of a circle disposed so that the arms thereof will extend upwardly in spaced relation when the socket is applied to a support, and one end of the wire extending longitudinally from the bottom of the socket, the said extension being threaded to form a screw whereby the socket may be adjustably attached to the support, substantially as set forth and for the purpose specified.
2. A drapery pole support integrally made of wire formed to provide a socket composed of two spaced complemental members, each of the shape of the segment of a circle disposed so that the arms thereof will extend upwardly in spaced relation when the socket is applied to a support, and one end of the wire extending longitudinally from the bottom of the socket, the said extension being threaded to form a screw whereby the socket may be adjustably at tached to the support, substantially as set forth and for the purpose specified.
This specification signed and witnessed this twenty ninth day of July A. D. 1914.
