SUPPORT FOR RODS.
VSpecification of Letters Patent.
- Patented May 22,1917.
Application filed .Tune 14, 1916.V VSerial-No. 103,624.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it knownthat I, CHARLES T.THoM1 soN, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for Rods, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to a supportv for rods, such as curtain rods, and comprises a bracket piece pierced to receive the Vrod and an eccentrically rotating clamping ring associated therewith. In the accompanying drawings Figure I, illustrates a curtain rod with supports at each'end embodying my invention.
Fig. II, is a sectional view of a support constructedaccording to my invention.
Figs. III, and IV, are side viewspof the same, illustrating respectively the clamped and unclamped positions of the ring.
Referring to Fig. II, my invention com prises a base plate 1, attachable to the side of a door or sash by screws 2, and supporting a bracket 3, which is pierced by the aperture 4, adapted to receive the curtain rod 5. Uponthe side of the bracket 3, is formed the overhanging iiange 6, which surrounds a ring piece 7 provided with a lug 8. The edge of the ring piece '7, is provided with a flangeQ, which is received beneath and embraced by the overhanging flange ofV the bracket piece. p
The ring piece 7 is piercedby an aperture 10, eccentrically related to the aperture 4:,
of the bracket (see Fig. IV). The eccentricity is such that when the ring piece isV in the position shown in Fig. III, the` rod 5, is p.
freely received by both apertures, but when the ring `piece is rotated to position shown in Fig. IV, the eccentricity vof the aperture of the ring causesthe inner edge there-k claim:
of to bind the rod strongly against the opposingsurface of the aperture 4:. This binding or wedging action not only holds the Vrod firmly against rattling, but keeps the ring piece from unintended rotation, so that the rod is at all times firmlysecuredin place.
Having thus described my invention, I
1.`A support for a rod comprising a bracket piece provided with an aperture adapted to .receivethe rod, and a rotating clamping kring eccentrically associated with the aperture of the bracket piece.
2. A support for a curtain rod comprising an apertured bracketyadapted to engage the rod to be supported, a ring piece also adapted to engage said rod, cooperating flanges upon the bracket and ring piece, whereby the ring piece is rotatably secured in relation to the bracket, and an aperture vin the ring piece eccentrically related to that of the bracket, whereby a bindin action is secured on said rod by the rotation of the ring piece.
3. A'support for a rod, comprising a Xed member, having an aperture adapted to engage the rod to be supported; a rotary member concentrically mounted on said fixed member, and also having an aperture adapted to engage said rod, but vsaid aperture being in eccentric relation to the first mentioned aperture, whereby a binding action is secured on the rod by the rotation of said rotatable member.
In testimony whereof, 'I have hereunto signed my name at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this sixth day of June, 1916.
