UNITED STATES STEPHEN GOOD, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.

COMBINATION CURTAIN POLE AND SHADE HOLDER.

Application filed June 18, 1919. Serial No. 304,986.

To (1% whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, STEPHEN Goon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oleveland, in the county of Ouya-hoga and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Combination Ourtain Poles and Shade Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates generally to curtain fixtures and more particularly to a combined curtain and shade support.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient combination device which can be quickly and easily attached to a window frame and can be used for supporting shades of varying widths, and also capable of use upon windows of varying widths. This is important, as it frequently happens that the possessor of shades of definite widths is confronted with frames of different widths and unless some provision is made to accommodate such variations it is necessary to procure new shades of the proper width.

This invention is intended to avoid these difficulties and consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described and then pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the central support with curtain shade brackets and ourtain pole support connected thereto; Fig. 2 is a face view of the central support; Fig. 3 is a sectional view of said central support, the curtain pole bracket being shown in elevation; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the end support with curtain shade bracket and curtain pole support.

In carrying out my invention, I employ two right angle shaped supports which are rights and lefts and are adapted to be fastened to the face of the window frame, at the right and left corners thereof. These supports are of light metal and each comprise the horizontal arm A and the vertical arm B both having holes to receive fastening screws by means of which the supports are attached to the frame. The horizontal arms A are preferably made dove tail and adjustable thereon, are the shade holding brackets O each having a foot piece D through which works the set screw E for fastening the bracket at any desired point of adjustment upon the horizontal arm of thesupport. By this construction any width of shade can be held irrespectiveof the width of the window frame. The corner of the support is notched as shown at F and recessed as shown at G to receive the hooked end H of the curtain pole bracket I, the brace member of said bracket having a lug K which enters an opening L produced in the lower end of the vertical arm B, thereby detachably connecting the curtain pole bracket to the support. The outer ends of the bracket arms are curved to receive the curtain pole M.

For double and triple windows I use a double support. The support in this instance has one vertical arm B and two oppositely extending horizontal arms A which are dove tailed in cross section and are intended to receive the shade brackets thereon; and at the center of the support is the notch F and recess G as previously described to receive the hooked end of the curtain pole bracket, and the lower end of the vertical member is also provided within the opening L to receive the lug at the lower end of the curtain pole bracket.

From the above description in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that I provide acombination fixture which is capable of such adjustments as will enable one to accommodate given widths of shades to varying widths of window frames.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

In a device of the kind described, the combination with a support comprising a vertical arm and oppositely disposed horizontal arms extending from the upper end of said vertical arm, there being a recess at the juncture of said horizontal and vertical arms, said vertical arm also having an aperture near its lower end, of shade brackets adjustable upon the horizontal arm, and a curtain pole bracket having a hook at its upper end to engage the recessed portion of the horizontal arm, and a lug at its lower end engaging the aperture in the lower end of the vertical arm, the outer end of said curtain pole bracket being curved to receive a curtain pole.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto aflix my signature.

STEPHEN GOOD.
