IMPROVEMENT IN CURTAIN-TASSEL CLASPS.
Specifica-tion forming part of Letters Patent No.146,136, dated January 6, 1874; application filed December 18, 1873.
Clasp, of which the following is a specifica-4 tion:
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and convenient device for attaching the cords of tassels towindow curtains or shades to take the place of the ring and screw in ordinary use, and the invention consists in a clasp formed from a single piece of sheet metal, and bent so as to enable it to be firmly attached to the lower end of the curtain in which the curtain rod or slat is placed. A hole is made in the center of the bent portion of the clasp, and a notch at each side of the saine, inwhich the loop of the tassel-cord is fastened.
In the drawings, Figure l represents a side elevation of the clasp. Fig. 2 shows the metal plate before it is bent into form, and Fig. 3
shows the application of the device to a cur tain.
The clasp is formed of a single piece of metal,
l. as shown in Fig. 2, and bent into shape for use7 as in Fig. `il. The front portion of the clasp extends up the whole width of the curtain stick or slat c, which is incased in the lower portion of the curtain, as seen in Fig. 3. 'The upper edge of the clasp is bent a little inward so as to catch over the slat. The rear portion b of the clasp extends about halfway up the rear ofthe curtainslat. In the bent portion of the clasp is a hole, d, and at each end of the bent portion are notches e e to hold the loop of the cord. In attaching the cord to the clasp the end of the loop is passed through the hole a., and carried over the sides of the clasp, and fitting in the notches at the sidesin the form of a slip-noose. In this way the tassel land cord may be very easily attached to and detached from the clasp. As ina-y be seen, the clasp is readilyvattached to the curtainrod by inserting the `rod or slat inside the longer bend, and taken oi by slipping off the bend at the upper edge.
The face ofthe clas i in any desired way by other device. i
This clasp may-be economically made, as desired, is readily applied to and detached from any curtain, and requires no skill in adapting to curtains.
As my invention is extremely simple inits forni and construction and adaptation, and can be produced by means of the most simple devices, and thus rendered comparatively inexpensive, and being aware of the devices shown, and the constructionthereof, as claimed in patent No. 84,448,0f date the 24th Novemy be ornaniented monogram, or
ber, 1868, and issued to Watson and Shepard.`
which said devices and construction I disclaim as any part of my invention--` What I claim as luy invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The sheet-metal clasp, formed in one piece, with its notches and perforations, constructed in the manner and for the purpose herein described.
