LEVI BRADBURY, OF BENNINGTON, VERMONT.
IMPROVEMENT IN CURTAIN-FIXTURES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 152,271, dated June 23, 1874; application filed- April 1l, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LEvI BRADBURY, of Bennington, in the county of Bennington and State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful Improvement in \Vindow-Curtain Fixtures, of which the following` is a specification:
The invention will first be fully described, and then pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a top view of the roller attached to the casing by my improved brackets: Fig. 2 is an end view, showing the spring-bracket. Fig. 3 is a view of the bracket at the opposite end of lthe roller.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts.
A is the casing. B represents the curtainroller. C is the spring-bracket. The object I have in view is to provide means for putting up curtain-brackets without screws or nails, and for taking them down or puttin g them up without difficulty or annoyance. For this purpose I make the brackets of wire with one or more convolutions, D, to form springs, and with prongs E, so that they may be driven into the wood and fastened without screws or nails. The prongs are formed by bending the wire laterally in each direction at right angles with the convolutions, leaving the two lateral arms F parallel with the casing, and then turnin g the wires at right angles with the arms F. These lateral arms F allow the bracket tobc driven into the casing, so as to make it perfectly secure and not liable to get loose. rlhe bracket is made of a single piece of wire doubled to form an eye, G, for the journal of the roller. rlhe form of the bracket is plainly shown in Fig. 2. rIhese spring-brackets are made to press against the ends of the roller with any required amount of friction to hold the curtain in any desired position. The bracket at one end of the roller may be made without the spring, it' desired, but essentially the same in other respects, as seen in Fig. 3.
By this improvement the curtains may be put up or taken down with the least possible difficulty, and be held in any desired position while they are up.
These brackets, beingl made of wire and put up without screws or nails, are cheaper than any other7 and the advantage of springing to allow the curtain to be put up or taken down, without the use of a screw-driver or any other tool, renders it superior to any other xture for the support of curtains.
Havin g thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The wire-sprin g bracket C, having convolutions D, prongs E E, lateral arms F F, and eye G, as shown and described, to adapt it to be used in the manner specified.
LEVI BRADBURY.
