` This invention relates to a curtain holder, and has for its objects, broadly, to provide a device which will be convenient in use for supporting window curtains in adjusted po- :il sition.
An object of the invention is to provide a metallic curtain holder consisting of few parts so that it may bemanufactured at a limited expense.
Another object is to provide a curtain holder which may be readily secured to the casing of a window frame, may be readily removed therefrom and will not require the use of screws, or nails for its support. The invention includes a holder of such construction that it may be adjusted to various in-` clinations, and when used in pairs the curtains may be maintained further from each other or nearer together as may be desired. 2o
holder of such form that an ornamented cover-slip may be conveniently applied thereto for covering the metallic parts of the holder.
With the foregoing objects in view the invention presents a new and useful construction, combination and arrangement of parts as described herein and claimed and as illustrated in the accompanying drawing, it being understood that changes may be made in form, size, proportion of parts and minor details, said changes being within the scope of the invention as claimed.
In the drawing Fig. 1 is a view showing the device applied to a part of a window frame, the lat-ter being in transverse section. Fig. 2 is a view of the device taken approXimately at right angles to the view shown in Fig. 1, said view being slightly perspective to clearly show the Jformation of loops. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of a supportingplate.
Fig. 4 is an end view of the supportingplate. Fig. 5 is an end view of a clampingplate. Fig. 6 is a plan view of the clamping plate. Fig. 7 is a side view of the same. Fig` 8 illustrates the pivotal mounting of the clamping-plate upon the supporting-plate. Fig. 9 is a view showing a part of a window casing and a curtain holder applied thereto for supporting a curtain, the holder being Another object is to provide a curtainV disposed inclinedly to the casing. Fig. 1() is a View on an enlarged scale showing the holder disposed inclinedly to the casing for supporting the curtain. Fig. 11 is a side View showing the use of an elongated loop open at one of its ends for supporting the curtain and an ornamental sheath or slip.
Referring now to the drawing for a more particular description, the curtain holder consists, in part, of a metallic supporting plate 10 preferably rectangular in plan provided at two opposed edges with sleeves 11 apd having` an aperture therein as indicated a 12.
I provide a metallic strand or wire 13 and 65 secure its respective ends rigidly in the sleeves by any suitable means. The strand is bent midway between its ends to form a loop 14E, the loop-members or parallel arms 15 thus provided being bent between their 70 ends to provide a pair of secondary loops 16 with approximately parallel arms l?, and as described and shown the plate 10 isdisposed parallel with the arms 17, and the arms 17 and arms 15 are preferably disposed parallel. 75
Numeral 18 indicates an L-shaped clamping-.plate provided with an aperture 19, and having prongs 20 provided at their ends with teeth 21. The plate 18 is disposed upon the plate 10, and by means of a rivet 22 or other suitable keeper, the clamping-plate may have a swinging movement on the plate 10.
Numeral 23 indicates a hook-bar having a terminal tooth 24 and by means of a spring 85 25 which connects the hook-bar to the clamping-plate 18 any movement of the hook-bar outwardly from said plate 18 will be resisted.
As thus described, operation will be readily understood. llhe curtain holder may be disposed with its plate 18 engaging the side of a frame or casing 26, the teeth 21 engaging the wood as a holding means The hook-bar is then moved outwardly from the clamping- D5 bar 18 against the force of the spring 25 so that its tooth 24 may engage the opposite edge of the casing, the parts of the device last mentioned being concealed by the curtain since the latter will be disposed in the space between the casing and arms 15 of the device.
It will be seen that the curtain holders may be quickly mounted on window casings and will firmly engage said casings, and also they may be readily removed.
It will be noted that the loops may be held in a horizontal position or may be disposed at a suitable inclination since the supportingplate 10 and clamping-plate 18 are pivotally connected. rIhe adjustments last mentioned are of advantage. If the curtains are of small size the arm 15 may be swung downwardly so that the loops 14 will not obtrude or project beyond the yconfined parts of the curtains, and if the curtains are quite large or full the arms 15 may be disposed in a hori- Zontal position or may be inclined upwardly.
The loops, it constructed of wire may be practically invisible. However, they may be constructed or" metallic strips or strands to present an ornamental appearance if desirable, and operation of partswill be the same as described.
It will be understood that the` connection of the pivot 22 with the plates 10 and 18 is cf such arrangement that the latter will be maintained in stationary relation after they have been manually swung or adjusted relative to each other. rlhe normal position of the hook-bar and spring is in line with the clamping-bar and at right-angles to the casing andV when making'the adjustments mentioned, the supporting-bar together with the holder of loop-form are moved or swung to a desired angle.
Since the pair of arms 17 will be disposed in vertical alignment, the pair of arms 15 also being ydisposed in vertical alignment, they will engage and support the curtains to advantage.
It will be noted that the present construction provides a comparatively elongated area between the-arms 15and'17 of the loops for receiving a curtain 27 this area or recess being open and entirely unobstructed at one of its'endsand when the supportingplate 10 and loops have been swung to the position shown in `lig. 10 of the drawing the curtain will be effectively held, and the parts will present a more novel and attractive ap- Y pearance.-
clamping-plate having an apertured part disposed on the supporting-plate and having toothed prongs projecting outwardly therefrom, a keeper in said aperture adapted to pivotally connect the clamping-plate with the supporting-plate, a hook-bar, and a spring connecting and normally resisting a movement 'of the hook-bar outwardly from the clamping-plate.
2. In a curtain holder, a metallic supporting-plate, an ornamental sheath, a metallic clamping-device for supporting the supporting-plate at the front of a window casing, and a metallic strand secured at its ends to the supporting-plate and bent to provide an elongated recess and loop at the front of said plate and clamping-plate, said recess .pro-
viding an area for receiving the curtain and said loop providing a mounting for the ornamental sheath. p i
8. A curtain holder comprising a clamping element adapted for engagement with a window Casement, apivotal element mounted on the clamping element and adapted to swing into various angular positionsrthereon,
- and a loop member carried by the pivotal element and returned backwardly and over 'for engagement with the drop portion of a curtain or the` like for holding the same in a draped position, an ornamental sheath removably mounted on said loop member for nclosing the same.
In testimony whereof, I have ah'iXed my signature. j v
HELEN J. FERGUSON.
yAlso since the loop 14 and its arms provide Y Y thev area or recess mentioned an ornamental sheath or slip 28 may be used as shown inV Y consisting of a metallic strand secured at its ends to the supporting-plate and bent midway between its ends to provide a loop, the arms of said loop being bent between their vends to provide a pair of. secondary loops, a
