Application filed February 21, 1922?.v Serial No. 169,726.
The principal objectof this invention is to provide an improved shade roller niount-` invention is susceptible of embodiment in' other structurally modified forms coming' equally within the comprehensive scope oli the appended claims.
In the aceompanying` drawing: Y
F ig. 1 is a side view ot a shade roller which is rotatably supported in brackets and is provided vat one end with the improved inmintingfor preventing end play.
Fig. 2 is a section, taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a section, taken on the line 3-3 ofFig.2;and l.
Fig. 4 is a section7 taken on the line 4-1 ot Fig. 3. f j Y The roller and bracket assembly illustrated in the drawing is ofthe'type commonly lused in closed automobiles. but the improved mountingl feature which iorrns the subject matter ot this invention is oi? course applicable to roller and bracket assemblies of many other different types it will be observed thatthe roller 10 is supported by two brackets 11 and 12which are secured by screws 13 to the upper cor ners ot a window frame 1 4.
One end of the rollere-the one conta the spring-winchnp,- mechanism-has pro]ect A ing axially therefrom the flattened end 15 o1'I the rod to which the spring is secured and onv which the roller is journaled. The fiattened end of the rod extends into a .slot of corresponding cross section in the bracket 11, and is held against rotation bythe same. The construction thus far `described is one which is commonly employed.
The other end of the roller has projecting therefrom a 'trunnion 1G which extends through va circular bearing aperture 177 in the bracket 1 2 and has a.v cylindrical portion 18 journal-ed `in such bearing. The trunnion has a groove 19 therein just beyond the portion 18, and the groove is occupied atopposite sides by twov parallel portions-20 ot a `U-sha'ped wire spring 21 positionedv against the inside tace ot' the bracket. y
lThe spring' is held in position by two inwardly punched loops 22 in the bracket, loe-r neath rwhich the extremities of the spring' are inserted, and the springv is 'prevented from workingout from beneath either ot the loops by the confining sides ot a cap 23 which is securedfatfainst the inside 'taccotthe brackv ct about the periphery of the same.
The cap may be secured in positionv by tongues 241 which pass through slots in thebracket and Yare bent over against the outside tace oli the same. The end of the trunnion is tapered slightly. whereby to cause the portions 20'01"' the spring` to be Ywedged apart temporarily when the trunnion is being inserted in the bracket 12. Y
It will be appreciated from the foregoing that the springprovides a resiliently yieldable connection in the 'form of an end-thrust bearing which will prevent eud play ot the roler between the brackets while permitting the roller to be snappedv easily into or out of position.
I Claim z,
1. In a shade roller` n'iounting, a bracket having' a bearing aperture and two otl'set spring-retaining loop'sat lopgoslte sides ofthe aperture, a roller, a trunnion on the" roller having a portion journaled inthe aperture and a grooved portion beyond the journalingJ portion` and Va 'iJ-shapedspring extending` across the bracket with the end portions of thespring beneath the loops in the bracket and theA intermediate portions of' the springl in opposite parts of the l.ejroovein the trunnion for resisting` ment of the roller.
2. 'ln a shaderoller mounting, a bracket having a bearing' aperture 'and two yoffset spring-retaining Vloops Vat oppositeV sidesl ot' endwis'e move-Y theV aperture, a roller, a trunnion on the i roller having` a portion journaledin vthe aperture and a grooved portion beyond the journaling portion, a U-shaped spring eX- tending across the bracket with the end portions of the s ring beneath the loops in the bracket and t e intermediate portions of the 5 spring Vin opposite parts of the groove in the trunnion for resisting endwise movement of the m1ler,'and a cap on the bracket having a rim positioned adjacent the extremities of the spring for preventing the springfrom Working out from beneath the loops. 10
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
