CURTAIN Application filed "February To all whom it mag concern:
Be it known "that '1, ANDREW lviirnrn, :a citizen of the United States, residing :at Caney, in the county of Montgomery and "State of Kansas,havelinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain .Fasteners, ofwvlnch'the following is a specifica- 'tion, reference being hadfto the accompanying: drawings.
This invention relatesto an improved ourtain hangerand one ob-jecto fthe invention is to provide the hanger with an improved frame construction so that-it may be placed in connection with windows of different widths andbe securely held in placefbut at the same time permitted tobe very easily removedwhenso desired." p
Another ohj ect of :the invention is to pro- -vide an improved construction of curtain supporting rod which mayibeadjus'ted lon- 'gitudinally according to the 'wi'dtl'i of the window With which the dram'e .is connected, thereby permitting tl11S curtain supporting rod to be rotatably mounted between rear.-
' wardly extending arms'of the fiame,"
Another object of theinvention to provide a 'frame which may be formed principally of'meta'l tubes androdspositioned in telescoping relation .to each other and to provide anirnproved type of window frame engaging foot ifor the end portions of the curtain support. i
This invention is "illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein liigure 1 .is a top plan view of the improved curtain support.
-Figure 2 is a view showing an enlarged view ofthe curtain snpp'ortwit h the support shown partially in top plan and partially in longitudinal section. v
1*igure3 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the attaching feet for connecting the curtain support with the window frame.
Figure 4 is an'enlarged fragmentary perspective view of one end portion of the main tube used in forming the curtain support.
Figure 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing one end portion of the curtain carrying rod.
This improved curtain support is to be connected with a Window frame so that lace curtains and the like may be supported in front of the window. The curtain support is provided with a main frame having a tube 1 which may be formed ofany suitable FASTENER.

mntcriafl and will have one endportion pro- '-vided with .a bayonet slot 2. The window frameengaging feet3 and at are preferably formed of short lengths of tube having theirend portions flattened and split toprovideleg-s "5 which extend in diverging relation towards tl1eir.free'ends and are bent to provide prongs 6 :for fitting between the body-portion of the window frame and 'reorner blocksor the ends-of astripaextending across the top of the windowframe. By having the legs '5 provided with theprongs (3 for fitting between the bodyoi the window frame and the cornerblocits, the main frame oft-hecurtaiirsupport may beiirnily held in 'placeand will not be lia'hle to slip loose as wouldjbe the case 'ifthe legs were -.simply provided with'prongs intended to penetrate the sides of the window frame or corner blocks. I
Each oft-he window frame engaging feet Band i is to be connected 'with'the tube 1 of the frame and, therefore, these feet 3 and 4 have been vconnected withrods 7 and 8 which extend into the end portions of the tube 1. The rod '8 of the foot tlis shorter than the rod? of thefoot 3 and has been provided with'fa side pin 9 which will pass into the bayonet slot and serve to very securely hold the'loot 4 in connectionrwitl'l the tube 1 when the rod is passed into the tube and then turned to position the pin in the angularly disposed inner end portion of the bayonets'lot. The rod 7 of the foot 3 extends into the other end portion of the tube l-and is provided with a tapere d'inner end portion having an eye 10 provided therein'to'receive the hook 11 at oneend of the-spring 12 whichispositioned'in the'tube l'intermediate its length and secured therein by a hook'13 engaged with a pin 14- extending transverselythrough the tube. There will, therefo1'e,he seen that the rod 7 will be slidably mounted inthetube 1 *and can be drawn out of the tube when putting the curtain supporting frame in place in connection with the window frame. This frame passing between the body of the window frame or casing and the plaster of the wall about the window frames, the spring may draw the rod inwardly into the tube, and when the prongs have been forced into proper position to engage the inner face of the window frame the curtain supporting frames will be firmly held in place.
The rod 15 which is to carry the curtain may be formed of the same type of metal from which the tube and rod 7 and 8 are formed and this rod is provided at its ends with pin extensions 16 and 17 for fitting into openings 18 formed in the feet 3 and 4:. lVith these pins positioned in the openings 18, the rod will be securely held in place and prevented from dropping out of the curtain supporting frame. The pin 16 may be formed rigid with the rod 15 but the pin 17 will be preferably carried by a stem 19 which is threaded and may be screwed into or onto the end of the rod 15. It will thus be seen that by proper adjustment of the stem 19, the rod 15 may be lengthened and the pins 16 and 17 caused to lit properly into the openings 18 when the frame of the curtain support is expanded. It will further be noted that by this construction the frame of the curtain support may be put in place and the curtain then slipped upon the rod 15. The pin 16 of this rod will then be inserted in one of the openings 18 and the rod then swung up into the proper position and the stem 19 unscrewed from the rod 15 a suflicient distance to cause the pin 17 to enter the second opening 18. I11 order to ornament the end portions of the frame there has been provided ornamental heads 20 having threaded stems 21 which will be screwed into threaded sockets or openings 22 formed in the feet 3 and 4. These ornamental heads may, if desired, be left off.
lVhen this device is in use the rod 15 will be removed from between the feet 3 and at and will be passed through a pocket formed in the upper portion of the curtain or the curtain may be simply passed about this rod and secured by pins. The frame will be put in place in connection with the window frame and the prongs 6 forced into place so that the frame will be securely held in place. The curtain carrying rod 15 will then be put in place with the pins 16 and 17 fitting into the openings 18 and the curtain will be suspended in front of the window. If it is desired to provide overdraperies, the overdraperies will be mounted upon the window engaging frame of this curtain hanger. IV hen putting the overdraperies in place, the rod 8 will be removed from the tube 1 and as soon as the overdraperies have been put in place, the rod 8 will be again inserted into the tube and turned to position the pin 9 in looking engagement with the tube at the inner end of the bayonet slot. The overdraperies will then be slid along the tube and upon the feet 3 and 1 so that they will be properly positioned to give a good appearance. In case overdraperies are made use of it may be found necessary to form slot openings in them so that the pins 16 and 17 may pass through the overdraperies and fit into the sockets 18. lVhen it is desired to remove the curtains and curtain support, it is simply necessary to draw the rod 7 outwardly and the support will be detached from the window frame.
What is claimed is 1. In a curtain support, a pair of angular brackets having flattened ends split longitudinally and flared to define attaching feet, the ends of the attaching feet being laterally extended and pointed to define prongs, each bracket further including an arm, the arms of the brackets extending toward each other and being arranged in alignment, a tubular member engaged upon said arms and constituting a longitudinal support, the intermediate portions of the brackets being formed with holes, a rod having reduced extensions seated within said holes, and said brackets being disposable against a wall outwardly of a window casing with the prongs forced between the wall and the casing.
2. In a curtain support, a bracket of tubular formation having one end laterally extended to define an arm and having its other end flattened, split and flared to define attaching portions, the ends of the attaching portions being laterally deflected and pointed whereby to be capable of engagement be tween 2. wall and a window casing.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
