These wires pass through holes in the slides E E', so that said slides may be moved readily up and down the wires, which thus act as guides. K K are cords to operate the curtain. These pass over pulleys H J, and raise and lower thelroller D upon the guide-wires. O O are metal pieces screwed, or otherwise irmly secured, toA the window-frame. P P are recesses in the lower ends of said pieces made so as to receive the ends of the tightening or straining levers Gr G ofthe wires F.
These wires are first secured to the pulley-frames H and J, secured to the upper corners of the window-frames and to the levers G before they are fastened in place.
