To' all whom it ma'y co'nce m: Q
Beitknown that I, A'IieUs'rA E. ROB RT, a Y citizen "of the "United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda; State of California, have invented'a new and useful Curtain-Support, of which the following is a specification in such fully and clearfterms as will enable those skilled in" the new con striuct and use thesaine.
This invention relates-to a curtain rod and i f curtain holder intended to provide means for preventing the curtairnfrom becoming dust ladenthrough the opening of the W111- w.,oil..wh h he cu tai i sed. h l be findersttod that where'vefcurtains re used they become badly soiled at top and bottom from the dust coming in through the open window every time the window is opened. With the present invention, the curtain may be raised or lowered as the case may be to prevent it from becoming soiled when the window is opened.
Other objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing in which the same reference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout, but I am aware that there may be many modifications thereof.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a window equipped with this curtain holder.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the curtain holder at the top of the same adjacent the shaft for raising and lowering the curtain rod.
Fig. 3 is a broken view showin a vertical section of a portion of each of t e tubes at the top of the curtain holder.
'Fi 4is a front elevation of the curtain holding rods and slide for supporting them at one side of the curtain holder.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the curtain holding rod, and a sectional view of a portion of one of the tubes showing the relation of the slide thereto, the curtain rod being broken in vtwo places for the purpose of illustration.
The numeral 1 represents the window frame, 2 the lower sash, and 3 the upper sash.- The curtainholder comprises two opcrating tubes 4 and 5 which are secured to the curtain frame by means of the brackets 6, 7 and 8, 9 respectively. The tubes 4 and 5 are provided with suitable ornaments 10 at the top and bottom, and they areconnect ed by means of the shaft 11 and curtain rod,

which is made up of the two slides 12, 13,-
twopivoted rods 14, 1 5, which rods are pivoted to the ;slides'1'2; and 13. The rods 'aresp1icedat the center as indicated in Fig. fiyan'dfare connected together by means of two small screiwSfldand 17. j Each of tlie slides 12 and 13 is provided with a projecting horn or lug-"which extends within the tubes 4 and 5 respectively, which are to be co'nne'ctedone with a chain 19 and the other tojbe connected with'a' 'cord 2f0. The slides 12 and1-3=are"ea'ch grooved as indicated at 21 to move vertically in a groove in'the tubes 4 and 5. The chain 19 asses over a sprocket wheeieeen one end o the shaft 11,
and onthe other end of the shaft 11 there is a pulley 23, said sprocket wheel and pulley being within the tubes 4 and 5 respec tively. The cord 20 has one end connected to the pulley and said pulley is of such diameter with respect to the sprocket wheel 22 that as the chain is pulled down it will lift the left hand slide 13 at the same rate as the slide 12 is lifted, each ofthe slides 12 and 13 is provided with an opening as indicated at 24 to receive the oppositely extending drapery rods 25, 26, which are raised and lowered with the curtain rods 14, 15. The drapery holding rods may be turned outwardly to swing the draperies away from the window if desired, or may be swung in so that the draperies will hang close to the curtains.
The operation is as follows Assuming the person in the room to wish the lower sash raised for the purpose of ventilation, the chain 19 will be pulled down until the lower end of the curtains are swung high to permit the air to pass into the room under the sash 2 without disturbing the curtains. person desires to have the upper sash lowered, they will lower the curtains until the upper portion of the curtain is below the top of the upper sash when lowered, there- 1.
