I ALEXANDER VROBLE, OFDET'ROIT; MICHIGAN.
CURTAIN snrros r,
Application filed February 17,1923. Serial No. 819,633.
To all whom it may concern:
Be 117161011 11 that T, ALEXANDER VRoBLn,
acitizen of 'the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county'or Wayne and State oflvlichigan,have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Curtain Support, of
which the following is a specification.
My invention-relates to'a new'and usetul improvement in a curtain support and has for its object the provision of a curtain support which will be simple in structure economical of manufacture and highly eflicient in use.
'the person to stand on while changing the curtain and has for a further object the provision in such a device of means for easily and quickly raising-the curtain, when placed thereon,to its proper position and turning the edges of said curtain around the corner of the support.
Other objects will appear hereinafter. The invention consists in the combination and arrangement or parts hereinafter describedand claimed and will be best understood from a reference to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification and in which,
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of the invention applied to a window,
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the invention, and,
Fig. 8 is a top plan view of the invention.
The invention in its preferred form is described herein, although it will appear apparent, as the description proceeds that many changes may be made in the details bv a skilled mechanic working in the art and these various modifications I wish to embrace although not shown herein but enibraced in the appended claims.
Mounted on the window frame 9, at op posite sides of the window, are roller sup porting members 10, having an angularly turned portion 11 and provided with openings for the reception of the ends of a shade roller 12 on which is mounted a shade 13, one of said supporting members having a slot formed therein and the other a round opening for the reception of the pin which supports the roller at one end, the slot servin the ordinary manner.
ing'to receive and prevent the turning of the pin which is attached to the roller spring.
Adjacent the end of the supporting members 1s a slot 1a which communicateswith a slot 1'5'torn1ed in said member at an angle'to the slot 1 1. These slots are 'formed'mboth of the supporting members,
so that it is possibleto use'a shade roller therewith which is adapted'to turn either "direction. Mounted in the slot 15 is a shade roller 16 carrying the shade 17 in the conventional manner, said roller being equipped with a spring for rolling the same I The free end of the shade 17 is doubled upon itself to form a sleeve in which is positioned a supporting rod 18projecting from each end of which is a rodor pin 19 having an enlarged head 20. Made of sections adapted to telescope in the ordinary manner ot'curtain'rods is arod '21, at each outlet which is 'pivotally mounted an arm 22, the end of the rod 21 being preferably bifurcated and the arm lield'in pivotal relation thereto by asuitable bolt or rivet. The arm or link 22 is providedadjacent its free end with an enlarged opening 23 which communicates through a neck or restricted opening 2 1'with a smaller opening 25.
The head of the pin 19 is thrust through the enlarged opening in the link 'and'then the pin is'moved rearwardly to the small opening so that the head 20 prevents-a withdravval'of the pin 19 from the link. A cord 26 is attached to an eye screw 26 which is threaded through the shade 17 into the stick or support 18, thus preventing any longitudinal movement of the member 18 in the sleeve and at the same time aflording a means for unwinding the shade 17.
When it is desired to place a curtain on the support 18 the shade 17 is unwound until the person placing the curtain on the support can easilyreach it from the floor. It will be noted from Fig. 1 that the mem ber 18 then supports the member 21 which hangs on the links 22 which extend vertically The curtain upon being placed on the member 21, is looped over the ends of the links 22. After the curtain is placed on the rod 21 the shade 17 is then rolled on the roller until the member 18 is carried into the position shown in Fig. 3, the pins 19 engaging the upper edge of the supports 10. It will be noted that the shade 17 rolls down in front of the roller, which is the reverse of the action of the ordinary Window shade roller. By rolling this shade in this manner the member 18 is carried rearwardly over the top of the roller so as to bring the links 22 into a horizontal position, thus forming the upper edge of the curtain into a U-shaped form with an elongated 'bight, and thus presenting the appearance desired in hanging curtains in the usual manner.
The manner of mounting the curtain is apparent from Fig. l in which the curtain is shown in dotted lines. It will be noted that the pins 19, intermediate their ends are provided with a flattened portion 28, so that if the shade roller 18 should become disarranged the curtain may be supported temporarily by the member 18, which would first be removed from the sleeve of the shade. The curtain rod 21 would still be used in this case.
I lVhile I have illustrated and described the preferred form of structure I do not wish to limit myself to the precise form of struc ture shown but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. i movable curtain support comprising a supporting member adapted for raising and lowering relatively to its position of mounting; a curtain supporting member mounted thereon; and means, at opposite sides of said curtain supporting member, eX- tending angularly thereto and adapted for lying in horizontal position when in raised position and vertically when in lowered position, said means being adapted, when in horizontal position, for retaining said curtain in forwardly extended position relatively to said supporting member.
said shade roller; a curtain supporting rod;
links connected to said curtain supporting rod; and means projecting from said links to said supporting member adapt-ed, upon the rolling of said shade, for engaging the upper surface of said brackets, said links being adapted, upon the engagement of said means with said brackets for lying in horizontal position for retaining said curtain supporting rod in parallel relation to and spaced from said supporting member.
l. A device of the class described, comprising a shade roller; brackets for supporting said shade roller; a supporting stick mounted on the free end of said shade roller; trunnions projecting outwardly from the opposite ends of said stick; links mounted on said trunnions; a rod mounted on said links. said trunnions being adapted for engagin.g the upper surfaces of said brackets upon the rolling of said roller, said trunnions being disposed in horizontal position upon the engagement of said trunnions with said brackets.
In testimony whereof I have signed the foregoing specification at Detroit, in the rounty of Wayne and State of Michigan.
ALEXANDER VROBLE.
