f- 5 4 a 6% I N ATTORNEY JAMES M. MCLESKEY, O13 MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE.
SHADE-HANGER.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J AMES M. MOLESKEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has relation to a shade and curtain support for windows, and the nature and objects thereof will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, in the light of the following explanation illustrating what I now believe to be the preferred embodiments of my invention from among other forms and arrangements within the spirit thereof and the scope of the appended claims.
An object of the invention is to provide a shade support, which may be applied to window easements of various widths without materially altering the structure thereof or changing the shape or location of the parts- Another object of the invention is to provide a shade support which if desired may form a permanent attachment to a window casement for supporting shades or curtains, in any vertical adjustment.
Another object of the invention is to provide a shade and curtain support which may be removably attached to a window casing, and which may be adjusted vertically to support a curtain or shade in any desired position.
In addition to the foregoing my invention comprehends certain improvement in details of construction and arrangement of parts which will hereinafter be described and particularly pointed out in the ap pended claims.
In the drawings accompanying this application similar and corresponding parts are designated by the same characters of reference throughout the several views in which they appear.
Figure 1, is a view in front elevation of a window to which a shade holder made after tllre manner of my invention has been app led,
Fig. 2, is a detail view of a portion of a modified form,
Fig. 3, is a similar view of another modified form,
Fig. 4, is a detailed vertical section,
Fig. 5, is a horizontal section on line 5-5 of Fig. 1.
lVith reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings A designates a casement and B the usual Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 1, 1918.
Application filed November 16, 1916. Serial No. 131,728.
parting strip. Vertical angle bars are secured to the side of the casement for guiding a horizontal shade supporting bar 2, this bar is provided with shade hangers 3 and curtain hooks 1.
For supporting and securing in place the vertical bar 2 a pair of fiat spring members (5 are provided which have their inward ends secured to the intermediate portion and under side of the horizontal bar 2 by means of thumb screws 7 or other fasteners. The flat spring members 6 are disposed in the same vertical plane with the bar 2 and extend toward the ends thereof where they are bent downward to substantially right-angles as indicated at 8. At the bending point of the flat spring members are facings 9 of rubher or the like for providing frictional engagement with the casement of the window. The spring members are bent inward as at 10 to afford greater resiliency, while the lower portions of the spring members are adaptedv to flatly engage the casement as at 11.
The extension 12 having knobs 13 is provided with a bolt 14 and thumb nut 15 for engagement in slots 16 formed in the lower ends of the spring members, better shown in Fig. 4.
In view of the foregoing it is apparent that upon placing downward pressure upon the knobs 13 the spring members will be slightly disengaged from the casement of the window and the horizontal shade supporting bar may be lowered, on the other hand if it is desired to raise the shade supporting bar all that is necessary is to apply pressure centrally to the horizontal bar in an upward direction and the spring member will become disengaged in the center and follow the upward movement of the bar.
The extensions 12 are provided so that the shade supported may be readily actuated by any one standing upon the floor without the necessity of mounting a chair which is a disadvantage in shade holders heretofore known to me.
As a simple form of construction I may have the spring member formed in a single piece and secured to the shade supporting bar, as shown in Fig. 2. This form of the invention is shown as having a relatively long depending spring member 11' thereby avoiding the necessity of providing an extension.
However if an extension is desired one Ill) may be readily provided as shown in Fig. 3, which in this form of invention is shown at 12. The window and sill connection may be used in this form as shown in Fig. 4.
lVith the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the vertical guides 1 may be dispensed with, if desired, thereby providing a shade supporter which may be readily attached to any window without altering the construction thereof or defacing the surface in any manner whatsoever.
It will also be seen that I have provided a shade supporter which is simple in its construction and Whose operation and function's will be readily apparent to any one not skilled in the use of mechanical appliances, andhence is adapted to universal application and use. 7
The flat spring members may be adjusted longitudinally on the bar to provide for engagement with the window easements of various widths, and it is also obvious that the shade supporter will be made longer if desiredfor the same purpose.
While I have illustrated my invention with some degree of particularity in various forms of construction I nevertheless reserve the right to change or otherwise vary the arangements of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the claims.
Having thus described my inventionwhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A window shade fixture including a horizontal shade supportingbar, and fiat spring members secured thereto and 'normally extending substantially parallel thereto with the ends of the members projecting beyond the ends of the bar whereby when the fixture is placed in a window the menm bers are required to be bent downward at an angle to the bar-whereby downward pressure on the bar is transmitted longitudinally through the members to urge them more tightly into engagement with the window casing.
52. A window shade fixture including a horizontal shade supporting bar having means to suspend a shade or the like, fiat spring members secured to the bar, said Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents'each, by
Washington, I). C.
for frictionally supporting the bar.
3. A window shade fixture including a horizontal shade supporting bar, fiat spring members secured to the bar and extending beyond the ends thereof and bent downward at said ends of the bar at substantially right angles, the flat spring members being curved inward at depending points and provided with a facing at the outer side of the bending points to engage the casement'of a window. V
A. A window shade fixture including a shade supporting bar, flat spring members secured at their upper ends to the medial portion of'the bar, said members extending longitudinally of the bar toward the ends thereof, projecting therebeyond and bent downward to frictionally engage the casement of a window for supporting the bar,
the spring members being disposed' at an angle to the bar when engaging. the casement, whereby downward pressure upon the bar may be transmittedlongitudinally along the members to tightly engage their ends against theeaSement.
5. A window shade fixture including a shade supporting bar, flat-springmembers securedito the bar with their ends projected beyond the ends of the'bar wherebyfwhen theufixture isplaced in a window the'members'are required to be bent at an angle to the bar to engage theadjacent faces of the window casement wherebyjdownwa'rd pres- 'SLHQQQD 'the bar will be transmitted longi tudinally along the members to engage the ends "thereof tightly again'st the casement, the lower ends of the members having longi tudinal slots, extension 7 members having bolts passing through the slots and nuts on the bolts for securing the extension tothe members subsequent to adjustment.
In testnnony whereof I ahix' my signature in presence of two witnesses.
