CHARLES EDWARD STOER, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
MEANS FOR SUSPENDING AN D DRAWING- CURTATNS AND THE LIKE.
. Application filed March 3, 1925, Serial No. 12,933, and in Great Britain February 16, 1925.
The present invention relates to improvements in and relating to means for suspending and drawing curtains, and the like.
By the present invention there is provided means for suspending and drawing curtains I which are noted for etliciency in operation and lastingness of action.
In one embodiment a slide member and the race are so arranged that the spacing element cannot be detached from the slide member when this is mounted on the race.
Other features of the invention are set out in the detailed description relating to the accompanying drawings.
The accompanying drawings shew a form of means for suspending and drawing curtains and the like, constructed and arranged according to the present invention.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is an elevation, Fig. 2 is a plan view on the like X-X (Fig. 1), Fig. 3 is a view of one of the runners,
Fig. 4 is a View of a horizontal guide pulley attached to the strip at one end and Fig. '5 is a view of a pair of vertical guide pulleys attached to the other end of the strip.
Referring to the drawings, a grooved roller 1 runs on the upper edge of a strip-like race 2, the axis for the roller 1 being formed by a bent over portion 3 of a wire or the like 4:. This wire or the like 4 forms theslide member. The other end of the wire 4; is folded back on itself to form a hook 5 which embraces the lower edge of the race 2. This hook 5 carries a spacing member 6 having an eye 16 for attaching the curtain to the runner which runner is constituted by the slide member 4 and the roller 1.
The spacing member 6 may be made from tube, rod, or bar, stock, and may be made to any suitable pattern.
The drawings shewa draw-cord arrangement. The draw-cord has two limbs 8 and 9, the limb 8 being attached to the master or control runner A and the limb 9 being attached to the master or control runner B, so
that when the limb 9 of the draw-cord is pulled the runners A and B will be moved apart, and on a pull being given to the limb 8 of the draw-cord the runers A and B will be drawn together.
The attachment of the draw-cord to the master runners. may be on the appropriate spacing members and by means of a screw grlp 10.
The limbs of the draw-cord pass freely through bores 11 in the spacing members of the follower runners.
The spacing members of the master or con trol runners A and B have two bores 11, the grip screws holding fast the appropriate limbs of the cord when these are inserted in the bores, the other limb passing freely therethrough.
The grip cord run is shewn in Figs. 1 and 2. The limb 8 of the grip cord passes over a vertical pulley 12 and is attached to the slide member of the master runner A. The cord is led therefrom over a horizontal pulley 13 and is attached to the master runner B. From B the limb 9 of the cord is led over a vertical pulley 1a and hangs in alignment or substantially so with the limb 8. These limbs may have weights 15 serving not only as hand grips but also to keep the gripcord taut. The pulley 13 is mounted in a bracket 17 and the pulleys 12 and 14: are
mounted in a bracket 18. These brackets are carried on the race 2.
The arrangement of a horizontal pulley at one end and a vertical pair of pulleys at the other end give a very effective grip cord run.
The spacing members are shewn hollow but these may be solid. The hollow form allows, the grip cord to pass therethrough. As shewn each spacing member has an eye 7 for attachment to a slide member and an eye 16 to which the curtain is attached as by the usual safety pin.
It is to be understood that the grip cord may not be used and the curtain moved by a sliding movement imparted to the curtains themselves.
The guide pulleys may be adjustable.
Any suitable means may be provided for preventing sag of the draw cords.
It will beobserved from the drawings that the spacing or distance element cannot be detached from the slide member whenthe end of the wire is folded back on itself to form a hook which embraces the lower edge of the race.
The slide member may be of plate-like form.
According to the present invention each tain runner comprlsin'g in combination, a
roller arranged to run on an edge of said race, a frame carrying said roller, a single spacing member pivoted to the frame, means above said spacing member for pivotally connecting it to the frame, and means below said spacing member for attachment to the curtain.
2. Means for suspending and drawing curtains, comprising in combination, a flat strip-like race, a roller arranged to run on an edge thereof, a frame carrying said roller, a single spacing member pivoted to the frame, means above said spacing member for'pivo-tally connecting it to the frame, and means below said spacing member for attachment to the curtain.
3. In means for suspending and drawing curtains having a flat strip-like race, a curtain runner comprising in combination a roller arranged to run on an edge of said race, a frame carrying said roller, a single spacing member pivoted to the frame, an eye above said spacing'member for pivotally connecting it to the frame, and an eye below said spacing member for attachment to the curtain.
4. Means for suspending and drawing curtains comprising in combination, a flat strip like' race, a roller arranged to run on an edge thereof, a frame carrying said roller, a single spacing member pivoted to the frame, an eye above said spacing member for pivotally connecting it to the frame, and an eye below said spacing member for attachment to the curtain."
5. Means for suspending and drawing curtains, comprising in combination a'flat strip-like race, a series of runners, and an actuating cord, each runner consisting of a frame member, a roller, and a single spacing member, means above said spacing member for pivotally connecting it to the frame, and means below said spacing member for attachment to the curtain, saidspacin member being bored to allow both limbs of said actuating cord to be guided freely" therethrough, and two of said series of runners being master or controlling runners, to each of which one limb of said actuating cord is secured. v
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature.
