Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 8, 1917.

\ Application filed October 5, 1916. Serial No. 123,911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN Mis'rnnna citizen of the United States, residing at Etna, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a curtain bracket and has for its primary object to construct a device of this character having the adherent property of accommodating different sized curtain rollers and curtain poles and further capable of varying the distance between the curtain pole and window frame and the distance between the lace curtains and a window shade.

An object of the invention is the novel manner of constructing the roller supporting arm so that the same may be quickly adjusted and rigidly held in any of its adjusted positions.

Besides the above my invention is distinguished in the manner of stamping the clamp from'a single piece of metal and so associating the same with a suitably formed clip that the clamp may be adjusted and rigidly held in an adjusted position.

With these and other objects in view the invention will be better understood from the following detail description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawingswherein Figure 1, is a perspective view of the curtain bracket.

Fig. 2, is a top plan view thereof.

Fig. 3, is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4, is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

'gs. 5 and 6 are sectional views on the 5 and 66 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 7, is a perspective view of one end of a. supporting plate.

Fig. 8, is a sectional view on the line 88 of Fig.

Fig. 9, is a perspective view of one form of roller supporting arms.

Fig. it), is a plan view of the blank on which the clamp is formed.

Fig. 11, is a perspective view oi another form of a roller supporting v eferring to the drawings the numeral 1, designates a supporting plats constructed to have apertured ears 2, adapted to replate to a win-slow frame and is furthc structed to have two longitudinal series of rack teetl1'3. and a slot 4. Slidably mounted in the slot is a T-shaped extremity 5, of a curtain roller supporting arm (5. .This arm at an intermediate point is bent to provide a substantially parallel arm 7 having a resilient action at the point of juncture 8, so that under normal conditions the resiliency thereof will space the lugs 9 from the rack teeth 3. i F

Passing through apertures 10 in the limbs 7 and engagingv the back of the plate 1, is a thumb nut 11 adapted when tightened to throw the lug 9, into engagement with the teeth against the resiliency of the limbs 7. From this arrangement it will be seen that the arm may be quickly adjusted and rigidly held in any of its adjusted positions.

One end of the plate 1, has up struck therefrom a tongue 12 adapted to resiliently spring into an opening 13 in a clip 14 when the latter is slid a predetermined distance upon the plate 1, through the action or the flanges 14 over lapping the parallel longitudinal edges of the plate 1. This clip is shaped to have a slot 15 of rectangular configuration.

A clamp 16 for supportinga curtain pole is formed by stamping a single sheet of metal in a manner to provide a pair of limbs 17 and 18 bent so as to be arranged in the slot 15 and other limbs 19 and 20 shaped to slide in flat contact with the exterior surface of the clip while the remaining portion of the blank is bent to form a portion 21, the open surface 22 of which being arranged at right angles to the limbs and arranged in a horizontal plane. I

At this point I wish to call attention to the tact that the limb 20 is stamped from the central portion of the blank so as to leave a slot that slidably receives abolt 24 that is in turn mounted in a curtain pole supporting member 25 slidably mounted upon-the surface 22.

For the purpose of securing the clamp in any of its adjusted positions I pass through the limbs'19 and 20 a thumb nut 9.6. in Fig. 11 I have shown a curtain roller supporting arm 27 constructor to have resilient fingers 28 adapted to resiliently slide over the rack teeth 3, for holding the arm 27 in any of its adjusted positions.

At this point I ivish to call attention to the fact that the curtain roller supporting portion of the invention may be used inde:

pendent of the curtain pole supporting portion, by disengaging the tongue 13 from the slot 15.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings it will be apparent that I provide a device which is admirably adapted for the purpose for which it is intended, that it is simple, durable, and etficienet of construction and may be manufactured and sold at a comparatively loW cost.

What I claim is 1. 111 a device of the class described a plate having a resilient tongue struck therefrom, a clip slidably mounted upon the plate and having an opening receiving the tongue and a curtain pole supporting a clamp adjustably supported upon the clip.

In a device of the class described, a plate having a resilient tongue struck therefrom, a clip slidably mounted upon the plate and having an opening receiving the tongue and a curtain pole supporting a clamp adj ustably supported upon the clip, said clamp including an element mounted for move ment at right angles to the movement of the clamp as a Whole.

3. In a bracket of the character described, a supporting plate having an upstruck tongue a clip having an opening receiving the tongue and further shaped to have a slot and a curtain pole supporting clamp stamped from a single sheet of metal to have limbs arranged in the slot and limbs arranged exterior of the clip and :1 thumb nut passing through said exterior limbs for securing the clamp in any of its adjusted positions.

In testimony whereof I alfix my signature.

JOHN MISTRIK.
