ami/Imam fitter/1421 SYMM FRANK Gr. BETT, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
WINDOW-SHADE BRACKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 20, 1917.
Application filed. September 30, 1916. Serial No. 123,009.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK G. BETT, citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVindow-Shade Brackets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to window shade brackets or the like, and has for its obj eet to provice an improved device for supporting window shades or curtains on the window casing, by means of brackets which do not require any fastening devices such as screws or the like, and which can be easily and quickly applied to or removed from a win dow casing. A further feature is that the brackets can be adjusted vertically in the casing for any desired purpose, such for instance as to provide a ventilating opening at the top of the window, above the shade.
In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the device applied to a window casing.
Fig. 2 is a plan of one of the brackets, partly in section.
Referring specifically to the drawings, each bracket comprises a tube 3 having at one end a projecting arm 10, located in line with one side of the tube and adapted to support the shade roller, curtain pole or the like. This tube is closedat the end adjacent the arm by a cross wall 7, to which a washer 8 of rubber, leather or felt is secured. The opposite end of the tube is open, and has therein a projecting plunger 4 having an enlarged head 5 within the tube, which stops against a shoulder 3 at the end of the tube. A spring 6 is coiled in compression between the end of the tube and the head of the plunger. The face of the plunger has a washer 9 of rubber or other friction material.
These brackets are applied to the window casing by setting the same between the parting strips 11 and 12 of the casing, the pres sure of the spring 6 acting to force the plunger and the head of the tube in holding engagement with the parting strips respectively, the arm 10 projecting inwardly a sufficient distance to support the shade roller in proper position.
The brackets may be slid up and down to any desired position. Ordinarily they will be placed at the top of the guide way of the lower sash, but they may be lowered as shown in Fig. 1, thereby providing a ventilating opening at the top of the window. when the upper sash is lowered. It will be seen that the construction permits the brackets to be readily placed or removed, without the use of screws or other fastening devices and without marriug the wood work in any wav.
lVhat I claim as new is:
1. A bracket for window shades or the like, con'iprising two spring-pressed members adapted to be inserted between the parting strips of a window easing or the like and held by contact therewith, one of said members having a forwardly projecting arm for supporting a shade roller or the like.
2. A bracket for window shades or the like, comprising opposite members and a spring in compression therebetween, adapted to press said members against opposite parts of a window casing or the like, one of said members having a forwardly projecting arm.
3. A bracket for window shades or the like, comprising a tube, a plunger projecting from one end thereof, a spring in the tube, pressing outwardly on the plunger, and an arm extending from the tube.
4. A bracket for window shades or the like, comprising a tube having a projecting arm at one end. and a spring-pressed plunger projecting from the other end, said tube and plunger adapted to fit between the parting strips of a casing and be held by the spring pressure, with the arm extending beside one of said strips.
' 'In testimony whereof, I do affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALTON I-I. BEMIS, JOHN A. BOMMHARDT.
