PATENT EEroE.
HERBERT CLAYTON, OF LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY.
IMPROVEMENT IN CURTAIN-FIXTURES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 119,321, dated September 26, 1871.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that l, HERBERT CLAYTON, of Lexington, in the county of Fayette and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Curtain-FiXtures; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.
My invention consists in improving brakes of curtain-xtures, as hereinafter fully described and subsequently pointed out in the claim.
lFigure l is a front view of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a cross-section ofthe same through the line w .fr in Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectionof the cord-spool. Fig. 4 is a detailed view of my im' proved brake. t
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents a curtain and weight attached to a roller, B, placed between the casingsof a window in the usualmanner. C is a spool of Wood, brass, or other material, attached to the end of roller B in the usual manner, on which the cur- D is a flat curved lever or brake, placed directlyover the spool C and pivi oted at its inner end to a pin, c, on the Windowcasing E, as shown. The outer extremity of the brake is provided with an eye, b, through which the cord c passes, and there is a weighted tassel on the cord. The construction of the brake is peculiar. It consists of a single piece of wire bent at one end to form an eye for the cord, then forked and extending back to the pin o, on which it is secured. Aplateg, is placed across the forked wire, whose edges are bent up over and f grasp the forks of the wire, as shown, giving strength and support to the brake.
To operate the curtain the attendant pulls the cord e outward from the window, which, acting on the eye b, lifts thebrake D from the spool C, thereby allowing the curtain to rise or fall. On releasing the cord c it will hang in a vertical position, and the weight in its tassel will act upon the extremity of the brake D and press the latter upon the periphery ofthe spool C, thus locking 'or holding the curtain-roller and retaining the curtain in the desired position.
The eye b may be provided with a roller orpulley Vfor the cord to run on to prevent friction. The pin c, instead of being driven into the window-frame, may be supported on the same bracket that carries the roller, the bracket being enlarged or extended sufficiently for that purpose.
My-improvement is especially adapted to heavy curtains, such as are employed in the windows of stores and other public buildings.
The curtain-weight may be madev hollow and afterward filled with lead or shot sufficient to makel it an exact counterpoise for the shade on which it is used.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The constructionof curtain-xture brake D through said eye, as and for the purpose specified.
HERBERT CLAYTON.
