CURTAIN-ROI) BRACKET.
Application filed September To all 'whom it 'may concern l Be it known that I,.ALBERT ,KRUMwInnin a citizen of the United States of America, residingl at lVallingford,Connecticut, have invented Va new and n useful Curtain-Rod Bracket, of which the following is aV specification.
My invention relates to a curtain rod bracket.
It is the principal object of the invention to provide a bracket for supporting a curtain rod or the like which will be very simple and cheap to manufacture, and which will be strong and serviceable.
It is usual to attach some form of bracket to a wall or window casing and to support the curtain rod on such brackets. My new form of bracket is preferably formed of sheet metal, bent or formed so as to provide an integral structure, including a supporting base plate, to be attached to a wall or window casing, and a channel-shaped tongue extending outwardly at substantially right angles thereto to be received in the end of a curtain rod.
In the drawings which show, for illustrative purposes only, a preferred form of the invention- Fig. l is a fragmentary view of a window casing showing one form of my improved bracket with a curtain rod in place;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the supporting bracket;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through the bracket and one end of the curtain rod in place;
Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view through the end of the curtain rod shown vin Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blank out of which the bracket is formed.
In said drawings, 5 represents a window casing, wall or the like, from which a curtain rod is'to be supported. The bracket, indicated generallyA at 6, is secured tothe wall and a curtain rod 7, having a hollow end, is supported'from the bracket.
The bracket is preferably formed of a blank as shown in Fig. 5 including a base plate 8 which may have holes 9-9 to receive screws or nails for holding the base plate inV place on a window casing. An arm 10 is integrally formed with a base plate 8, and side arms or flanges 11-11 are formed in- 6, 1924. Serial No. 736,217.
integrally with Ythe arm l0. After the blank is cutthe iianges ll--ll rare bent up, preferably substantially at right angles to the arm 10,and lthe arm l0 is preferably bent up at substantially rightv angles to the base plate 8. If desired, the free longitudinal edges of the flanges ll-ll may be bent or crimped in, as indicated at 1%12, for forming rounded exposed edges. The free ends of the fiangesll--ll may be cut back at an angle, as indicated at 13, so as to forma relatively reduced end to facilitate introduction into the end of the curtain rod.
When it is desired to use the bracket, the base plate 8` is secured to the wall or other supporting member with the channel-shaped tongue extending preferably at substantially right angles thereto. curtain rod 7 is then forced over the tongue, and the relatively reduced end of the tongue .70 The hollow end of the facilitates the introduction of the tongue in- Y to the hollow curtain rod. In the form shown the free end of the curtain rod is somewhat bell shaped, `and aferrule 14 may be I provided for strengthening the extreme end of the rod and giving a smooth and finished appearance thereto.
It will be seen that in use the flanges ll--ll will be very slightly resilient, and when the curtain rod is lslipped over the tongue the four ledges of the channel will engage the inside of the rod with sufficient frictional resistance to properly support the rod. I prefer to make the channel substantially rectangular in shape, so as to give four supporting edges on the inside of the curtain rod, but it will be obvious without illustration that the channel could be otherwise formed, but in all cases there should be at least three lines of contact between the bracket and the inside of the tube. width of the arm lO is, as plainly appears from the drawings, much less than the diameter of the tubular rod that the bracket is designed to support hence the rod will not be distorted when applied and the bracket will be better adapted to takerods of varying sizes than would otherwise be the case.
The entire bracket may be stamped out of sheet metal, and is exceedingly cheap to manufacture. The construction of the bracket is such that heavy curtains or draperies may be supported from the curtain rod without The danger of bending the bracket, even though the saine be made of relatively thin sheet metal.
IVhile I have described the invention in soine detail, I do not Wish to be strictly limited to the forni shown, since variations inay'v be niade Within the scope of the'iiiventionA as delined in the appended claims.
I elaini- Y,
l. In a curtain rod bracket, a base plate,
an arin integral therewith andv extending outwardly therefrom, said arni being of a width substantially less than the internal diameter of the rod to be supported thereby and a flexible side flange on said arm arranged aty an angle thereto and `forming with said arm a chan1'iel,said arm and 'flange being arranged to engage the interior of a rod along at least three lines.
2.- A curtain rod bracket Comprising a base plate, an integral arn'i extending ont-- Wardly therefrom, said arni being of substantially less Width than the Vdiair'ieter of the rod to be supported by the bracket, two flexible anges formed on the opposite edges of said arin and extending at an angle thereto from one side thereof to form a channel between theni, the edges of said arm and Vflanges being arranged toiengage the interior of a rod on four lines.
