,. "App lication filed November'19,1.920. seria ize. 425,191,
To all whomit may'concem: v
Be it known that I, Gnsrav A. CARLsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 4343 Ravenswood Avenue, Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Curtain Rods,- of which thefollowing is a specification.
This invention relates particularly to cur tain rods, for use either in supporting sash curtains, or supporting full length window curtains. I v
The primary object is to provide an improved curta'inf rod, including improved brackets, the whole device [being strong, durable and secure, the rod being readily demountable, however.
Theinventionis illustrated in its preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. l'representsfa broken plan view of the improved curtain rod "mounted 'on' a frame, Fig. 2, a broken 'elevational view, partly in section, of the improved device; Fig. 3, an elevationalview of a bracket'em ployed;vFig. 4, a broken-perspective view of one of the spring armsof the bracket; and Fig. 5,'a vertical sectional view taken as in dicated at line '5 of Fig. 2. i
In the illustration given, Airepresents aframe; B, a pair of'brackets secured to said brackets B.
'ThebracketsB ar of the same construction, being reversible. Each bracket preferably is formed from a heavypieceof wire, suitably 'bent'to provide an attach ng base 1, a curvedbody portion 2, and spring arms 3, which overlie the base portion :1. In forming the bracket, the wire is'bent at an intermediate portion to form eyes 1 connected by a web 1 ;andfthe end portions of the wire are then curved outwardly and back over. the base portion 1 to form' the curved body portion 2, the extremities of the wire being extended sufliciently over the base portion toafl'ord the spring arms 3. The members of the wire are separated at the curved body portion 2 by a space 4, and
the spring arms 3 diverge from the point 4, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The arms 3 are provided on their outer sides with rounded embossments,or catches, 3 which are disposed near the extremities of the arms. These embossments may be formed ,bY

The edges of the strip are indicated, at 5, these edges being separated by aspace 5 as shown in Fig.5; 1 '7 i .75

From'the d scri 'ti'o'n given it, will be u'n- 3 derstood thatthe members 5 and 6 maybe sufficiently telescoped to enable their outer ends to be slipped over the Spring arms 3,
In applying the telescopic rod to the brack ets. the spring arms may be forced toward I each other by compressing themlbetween the thumband finger until the arms are ene tered in the tubular portions of the mem- I bers. When the arms are entered sufficiently, the catches 3 spring into engage- 1,10

ment with the perforations 7, thus, securely latching the telescopic rod on the brackets. W hen it is desired to remove the rod from the brackets, this may be done by forcibly withdrawing the telescopic members from.
the bracket-arms, the rounded embossment 3 permitting this action to occur.
It will be understood that the brackets may be made in different sizes, so that where desired a plurality of curtain rods may be employed forsupporting a plurality of curtains, or curtains and drapery, as desired. In such case, the brackets may be mounted on the frame in any desired relation.
From the description given, it will be understood that the improved curtain rod is especially adapted to resist downward flexure, because of the elongated vertical cross- The shape of the transverse sections of the telescoping members of the curtain rod and the manner of connection of the members with the brackets are such as to prevent rotation of the curtain rod so that tie elongated axis will always be maintained in a vertical position.
The construction described may be manufactured cheaply, is strong and durable, and may be applied with great facility. The curtain rod is easily demountable from the brackets, but, nevertheless, is securely held by the brackets, and danger of dislodgement is obviated.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood.therefrom, but the appended claims should be construed as broadly as permissible in view of the prior art.
What I regard as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. A curtain rod'bracket comprising a wire having its lntermediate portion bent to afford an attachment base portion with eyes and having members extending from said base portion and curved back over the base portion to afford resilient arms adapted to enter socket'means at the end of a curtain rod, said arms being provided with ,lateral lugs adapted to engage recesses in the socket of a curtain rod.
A curtain rod bracket comprising a wire having its intermediate portion form ing a base portion provided with attaching eyes, having curved members extending from the base portion and forming a curved body portion, and having said members extended parallel with the base portion and affording resilient arms, said arms being provided with lateral lugs adapted to engage recesses in the socket of a curtain rod.
3. A curtain rod bracket comprising a wire having its intermediate portion bent to all'ord an attachment base portion with eyes and having members extending from said base portion and curved back over the base portion to afi'ord resilient arms adapted to enter socket means at the end of a curtain rod.
l. The combination of a pair of brackets, each comprising a Wire having its intermediate portion bent to provide an attaching base with screw receiving eyes forming a part of said base and having curved members projecting from the base and forming a curved body portion, the extremities of said members being extended parallel with and overlying the base to afford resilient, substantially horizontal arms disposed in a vertical plane, said arms being provided with catches, and an extensible curtain. rod comprising telescoping sections, each section comprising a pair of tubular members and a connecting web, the long transverse axis of each section being disposed in a vertical plane,,and the tubular portions of each section, at the outer end thereof, receiving the arms of the corresponding bracket and having recesses engaged by said catches.
5. The combination of a pair of brackets, each comprising a Wire having its intermediate port-ion bent to provide an attaching base with screw receiving eyes forming a part of said base and having curved .II16111-' bers projecting from the base and forming a' curved body portion, the extremities of said members being extended parallel with and overlying the base to afford resilient, substantially horizontal arms disposed in a vertical plane, said, arms being provided with catches, and a curtain rod comprising a pair of tubular members and a connecting web, the long transverse axis being disposed III a vertical plane, and the tubular portions receiving the arms of the corresponding brackets and having recesses engaged by said catches.
