CURTAIN-R01) BRACKET.
Application filed November 4, 1921. Serial No. 512,871.
To all 207mm it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES A. CIvIs, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Curtain-Rod Bracket, of which the following is a 'specifi cation.
My invention relates to curtain rod brackets and particularly to an improvement on the devices employed for retaining flat curtain rods in proper position to receive a curtain or drape.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide a device of the character described which may be very cheaply constructed by a simple die operation. An additional function is that of securely holding the rod in proper position and so arranging the parts that the rod may be caused to engage with the bracket with a minimum of effort. Devices of this character are used by persons wholly unskilled in the operation of mechanical devices and it is essential that they be so constructed that operation in the required manner is assured. To this end the parts are so constructed that faulty op eration is impossible.
Another advantage of the construction herein described is in that there is no portion of the bracket which projects above the rod in service. Thus there is no part which may catch or interfere with the curtain or drape disposed on the rod.
The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein, I
Fig. 1 is a view showing two brackets in position on a frame and a curtain rod associated therewith;
Fig. 2 is a View taken at right angles to that of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view of the end of a curtain rod constructed to cooperate with the bracket of my invention, and,
Fig. & is a perspective view of the bracket.
In the drawings'it will be seen that the bracket is intended to be secured to a frame in the usual manner, and to cooperate with a rod 11, having right ang'ularly disposed end portions 12. The bracket may be headed as shown, the-upper bead 13, being notched as at 14, the notch being slightly diagonally disposed and the inner edge thereof being curved to permit of the ready cooperation of the corresponding portion of the bracket therewith. The end of the bracket is notched-as. at 16, for a purpose hereafter described.
The bracket comprises a plate 17, having openings 18 therein, adapted to be engaged by nails or screws 19, in the-usual manner. An integral portion'20, of the plate .17, projects at right angles from one edge of the plate at its middle portion, the end of the right angular projection being notched to provide a portion 21 which is laterally bent to form what corresponds to a hook and which portion is adapted to engage with the notch 1% ma rod. As shown in Fig. 2, the portion 21, which will be referred to as a hook, is slightly diagonally disposed and properly cooperates with the similarly shaped notch. The lower edge of the projection is cut away to provide the diagonal portion 22, which serves to facilitate the insertion of the rod thereon.
' The tongue 23 is struck out from the center of the projection'20 and is spaced away therefrom to an extent substantially equal to thethickness of the metal constituting the curtain rod and the arrangement is such that the web of the flat rod is .received beneath the tongue and the rod is securely held against lateral deflection thereby. The notch 16, in theend of the rod, fits around the base of the tongue, as best shown in Fig. 2.
'After the brackets have beenproperly if applied to a window frame, the fiat rod is caused to cooperate therewith, it being necessary only to insert the web of the rod beneath the tongue and force it inwardly, then permitting it to drop when the hook 21 registers with the notch 14. In' this position the rod is securely held against any movement except a vertical rocking move ment. 1
Obviously the exact form and arrangement of the parts is not essential-and I do not wish to be limited except as indicated in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A curtain rod bracket comprising a.
