ADJUSTABLE SHADE SUPPORT.

Application filed February 4-, 1922.

Be it known that I, EARL J. Hnonns, a citizen or the United States of America, and residentof Bellaire, county oi? Belmont, and State oi Ohio, have invented cer ain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Shade Supports, of which the following is a specification This invention relates broadly to shade supports, and it has for its primary object to provide a support or -mounting; for the ordinary forms of brackets employed for supporting window shades, such. support being designed to permit of adjustment of the brackets to suit shades of different widths.

A further object is to provide a mounting for shade supporting brackets, which is designed to be permanently attached to a wincrow casing and upon which the brackets may be adjusted from time to time to meet the requirements of shades of varying widths, thus obviating the marring of the casing ordinarily incident to shifting the position of such brackets.

In describing the invention in detail, reference is herein had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a front elevation oi the invention, applied to a window casing, showing the bars elevated somewhat above their normal positions.

Figure 2 is an enlarged edge view of the invention; and

Figure 3 is an end view, partly in broken section, the section being taken substantially on line 33, Fig. 1.

Referring to said drawings, 1 indicates each of two oppositely disposed wall plates adapted to be secured, as by screws 3, in an appropriate position upon a window oasing 4. Short outwardly directed arms 6 formed on each of said plates have their outer ends bent or curled to form eye portions 5 which are located in vertical alinement and which have removably mounted therein a vertically disposed pin 7. The oppositely disposed pins 7 have mounted thereon intermediate the arms 6 the opposite ends of two horizontally disposeol fiat bars 8 of sheet metal, one located above the other, said ends being more or less loosely curled into embracing relation to said pins so as to be relatively movable upon the latter for properly positioning lon itudinal slots 9 provided in said bars for t e reception of bolts 10 ivher'eby the base of a shade Serial No. 534,032.

supportingbracket, as ll, may mounted upon said bars.

As is manifest. the lower bar a i nor-- mally disposed with its ends restirw' upon the lower eye portions The per of said bars 8 may be adjusted reiatii'e to the lower bar to suit brackets 11 oi sizes. The bracket may be adjusted. ally along the slots 9 of said bars to suit shades of widely varying widtl 2 Suitable washers, as 12, Fig. -3, are preferably cmployed under the heads of the attaching, bolts 10, and nuts 2 are carried by said bolts for securing the bracket in adjusted position.

What is claimed is- 1. A mounting for shade brackets, comprising; oppositely disposed wall plates, vertical pins carried by said plates, and parallel members mounted upon said pins said members having slots for the reception of bracket-attaching bolts and in which said bolts are laterally adjustable.

2. A mounting for shade brackets, comprisin 0o ositel dis osed wall lates ver a. b i y 7 tical pins carried by said plates, parallel members having their ends mounted on sand 'pins, said members being relatively adjustable on said pins, and means adjustable laterally upon said members whereby a shade bracket may be attached to said members.

3. A mounting for shade brackets, con prising oppositely disposed plates for mount ing upon a window casing, a vertically disposed pin carried by each 01. said plates at a distance from the plane of the faces thereof, a pair of transverse bars mounted. and adapted for relative vertical adjustment upon said pins, said bars having therein parallel slots, and bracket attaching means adjustably mounted in said slots.

4. A mounting for shade brackets, comprising oppositely disposed plates for mounting upon a window casing, outstanding arms formed on each of said plates, said arms having vertically alined eye portions, pins mounted in said eye portions, a pair of transverse bars mounted and adapted for relative vertical adjustment on said pins, and bracket attaching means mounted upon and adapted for lateral adjustment along said bars.

5. A mounting for shade brackets, comprising oppositely disposed plates for mounting upon a window casing, a of out standing arms formed each said 1Q rate lee the arms of each plate being located adjiaoent to the upper and lower ends 01 the latter and having vertically alined formed in the outer ends thereof, pins mounted vertically in said eyes a pair of transverse bars mounted upon said pins between. the arms of said plates, the lower of said bars having its ends resting; upon the lower arms said bars having therein longitudinal slots, and brmzket-attaching bolts directed through and adjustable in said slots.

6. A mounting for shade brackets comm-is ing oppositelydisposed sheet-metal plates for mounting upon a WlH(.lOW casing a pair f integral outstanding Vertically-aimed arias carried byeaeh or" said plates, said arms liavingtheir ends bent to form vertically alined eyes, a pin mounted in the eyes on"? each pair or arms, a pair of horizontally deposed sheet-metal bars having their ends loosely coiled about and vertically movable upon said pins each of said bars having a, longitudinal slot therein for the reception of bracketettaching bolts and in which said bolts are horizontally adjustable. In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
