WINDOW SHDE AND CURTAIN SUPPORT.
Application led May 5,
To all 'whom t may concern.' y
Be it known that I, JOHN WLoszEx, a citizen of Poland, residing at Donora, in the county of Vashington and State of Pennsylvania, have 'invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window Shade and Curtain Supports, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to supports for win` dow shades, or curtains, and it has for an object to provide a novel and improved type of support arranged for adjustment to permit of mounting on windows of different widths.
A further object relates to the provision of means for detachably securing the curtain pole to the frame of the support.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which 'the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
Fig. 1 of the drawings is a face view of a window showing my improved support mounted on the frame thereof.
Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.
Fig. 3 is an end view thereof.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary transverse section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view taken on the same line as Fig. 4, but showing the end of the curtain pole in the position assumed when entering or leaving the socket.
In the drawings the reference numeral indicates a window` the frame being indicated generally at- 11 and the top strip thereof at 12. My improved support comprises a pair of flat bars, 14 and 15 respec'- tively, which extend along the face of the strip 12 and have angular offsets 16 and 17 at their respectively opposed ends, which offsets project across the ends of said strip 12. The other ends of these bars overlap one another and are engaged with one another in a manner to permit of longitudinal adjustment while preventing transverse displacement, the bar 14 being formed at one end with a transversely projected eye 18 through which the bar extends freely, the latter being formed with a longitudinal slot 19 through which projects a screw 20 fixed to the bar 14 and having a nut 21 1922. Serial N0. 558,757.
bearing on a clamping piece 22 which engages the bar 14.
' Projecting upwardly from the respectivebars 14 and 15near the opposed ends thereof, are angular lingers 25, 26 whose hori- Zontal upper endsproject over the top edge of the strip 12 and have set screws '27 threaded downwardly therethrough, 'similar screws 2 8 'being threaded inwardly through the offsets 16 and 17 'on the ends of the respective bars. In adjusting the support to a window frame, the clamp nut 21 which secures the two bars 14, 15 to-r gether being loosened the support is fitted on the strip 12 with the offsets 16, 17 in close adjacence to the ends of the latter and the fingers 25, 26 projected over the top thereof. The nut 21 is first tightened to clamp the two bars together, after which the screws 28 are tightened, and then the screws 27, thus holding the support securely on the window frame.
As a feature of my invention I provide on the bars 14, 15 curtain and shade supporting elements which are longitudinally adjustable so as to accommodate shades of different width, or, in other words, to accommodate the same shades to window* frames of diferent width. These curtain supporting elements comprise the short plates 30 which fit slidably on the opposed ends of the bars 14, 15 having hooked flanges 31 on their upper edges which engage behind ribs 32 such as on the upper edges of such bars. These plates are each formed with alongitudinal slot 33 through Which projects a screw 34 fixed at its inner end in the bar and having a nut 35 screwed on its outer end and adapted to clamp the plate to the bar.
The plates 30 have mounted thereon the usual brackets 36 for supporting a spring shade-roller, indicated at 37. For supporting ornamental curtains or portieres I provide a curtain pole formed of two rods 40 and 41 adapted to telescope one into the other and having transversely inturned opposed ends 40 and 41` which are detachably engaged with the plate 30, as follows: Formed on the plates are socket elements such as42 having diminished mouths such as 43 into which the rod elements 40', 41 project. These rod elements have notches such the upper lips of the socket mouths engage, the lower lips being projected beyond the upper lips so as to support the rods against downward movement. As will be apparent the curtain pole can be removed at any time by swinging the same upward until the transverse end elements 40 and 41 assume such an oblique angle as will free the notches 44 from the upper lips of the sockets l2, while at the same time the curtain pole is securely held against displacement by force applied downwardly or horizontally.
lVhile I have illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of my invention it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and that various changes and modifications might be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:
In a device of the class described, a curtain pole having laterally projected ends notched on their upper sides, and socket elements receivingv said -notched ends7 said socket elements having respectively upwardly and downwardly projected lower and upper lips forming diminished mouths, the lower lips being projected laterally beyond the upper lips to support the pole, the upwardly projecting lower lips forming cavitiesin the sockets below the extremities of the lips adapted to receive the ends of the pole as the latter are being inserted diagonally downward into the said sockets.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
JOHN WLOSZEK.
