END SUPPORT FOR RODS.

"CHARLES T. THOMPSON, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
END-SUPPORT FOR RODS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
7 Patented May 22, 1917.
Application filed June 14, 1916. Serial no. 103,623. 7
the end of the rod is received, and a slottedv cap piece rotating eccentrically with relation to the socket piece, the eccentric relation of the cap piece to the socket piece producing a clamping action, by means of which the end of the rod may be firmly clamped in its supporting socket piece.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure I, is a partial sectional view, illustrating my invention as used to support the ends of a curtain rod. V
Figs. II, and III, are views of my device,
showing the cap piece in two difierent po-" sitions.
Fig. IV, is a perspective view of the socket piece, and
Fig. V, a similar view of the cap piece.
The socket piece (see Fig. IV) comprises base 1, which is centrally pierced in order to permit it to be affixed to its upright support by the screw 2. Integral with the base is the collar 3,, terminating in the flange 4. Both the collar and its flange are provided with a slot 5, on the upper side-in order that the end or the rod may be properly inserted into the socket formedfby' the interior of the collar. w y
The cap piece (see Fig. V) consists of a disk 6, provided with an overhanging flange 7 The disk is centrally .piercedand both the disk andv its overhanging flange are provided with a slot 9, as shown in the drawings. The overhanging flange 7, of the cap piece embraces flange 4E, ,ofthe socketpiece, so that the cap piece rotates thereon, but the formation of this overhanging flange is such that the rotation thus provided is an eccentric one in relation to the socket piece.
Fig. I and in Fig. III.
This is best illustrated by reference to Fig.
II, where the dotted line 8, represents the contacting surfaces of the outer edge of the flange 4, and the inner surface of the overhanging flange 7. 1
In use the socket piece is aiiixed to the upright support as shown in Fig. I, with its slotted edge uppermost. If the slot of the cap piece be rotated into coincidence with the slot of the socket piece, as shown on the left hand of Fig. I and in Fig. II, the end of the rod is readily inserted within the socket from above. Thereupon thev cap piece is rotated upon the socket piece. The
eccentricity of their relation brings increasing pressure to bear upon the rod contained within the socket which reaches its maximum when the cap piece has been reversed in position, as shown on the right hand of g The wedging action accomplished by this rotation not only clamps the rod firmly in position so as to prevent rattling, but serves to hold the cap piece from unintentioned rotation thereafter.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. An end-support for a rod, comprising a socket piece with a flanged socket slotted upon one side, and asimilarly slotted pierced cap piece embracing the flange of the socket piece and rotating 'eccentrically thereupon.
2.'An end-support for a rod, comprising a stationary socket piece having a slot adapted to engage the rod to be supported; a cap piece rotatably mounted on said socket piece, also having a slot adapted to engage said rod, said cap piece being eccentrically mounted on said socket piece, so that the rotation of the cap piece causes the edgesv of'the-slot to exert a binding action on said rod. I
3. An end-support for a curtain rod, composed of two members, namely, a socket piece, provided withthe socket 2, and the.
flange 4, both being slotted upon one side, and a centrally pierced cap piece comprising the disk 6, and the overhanging flange 7, both being similarly slotted upon one side,
the overhanging flange of the cap piece em signed my name at Philadelphia, Pennsylbracing the flange 4, of the socket piece, the Vania, this sixth day of June 1916.
contacting edges of these flanges being in eccentric relation in the axis of the socket CHARLES THOMPSON piece, whereby a binding action is obtained Witnesses: by the rotation of said cap piece. JAMES H. BELL,
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto E. L. FULLERTON.
