Definitions
- My invention consists in a new and etlicient method of securing the curtain to its roller without the use of 4nails and by means of which the curtain may be instantaneously put up and as readily taken down, and may at any moment be adjusted after it is in place, without the necessityl even of taking down the curtain roller.

Description
UNITED sTATEs PATENT oEEIoE.,`
NATHANIEL S. GRAVES, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
CURTAIN-FIXTURE.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 17,967, dated August 11, 1857.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, NATHANIEL S. GRAVES, of Boston, in the count-y of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Method of Securing Curtains to Their Rods or in Their Rollers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l, represents a transverse section of a curtain, its roller and rod, and also the method which I have adopted of securing the curtain to its rod. Fig. 2, a section of the roller separate from the rod. Fig. 3, an end view of the curtain and rod exhibiting the manner in which the former is lapped around the latter.
To enable others skilled in the art to understand my invention, I will proceed to describe the manner in which I have carried it out.
My invention, consists in a new and etlicient method of securing the curtain to its roller without the use of 4nails and by means of which the curtain may be instantaneously put up and as readily taken down, and may at any moment be adjusted after it is in place, without the necessityl even of taking down the curtain roller.
a, in the drawings is the curtain roller into which is planed or otherwise made a dovetailed slot or groove c. The upper edge of the curtain should be lapped over or around a small rod f after which the whole should be entered endwise into the groove o, as shown in Fig. 1. The curtain passes through the narrow slit i, in the roll, and the rod f, when the curtain is drawn downward, will be jammed between the inclined sides of the groove c, and against the curtain, by which the latter will be held tightly and immovably in place, any downward strain upon the curtain tending only to hold it more securely to its rod and in the groove. Should the curtain be found to hang uneven after it is in place, it may be adjusted without taking down tleroll. This may be acsage of the curtain; but this I only claim when the sides of the groove are dovetailed as described, whereby the curtain is securely held to its roller without other fastenings and without being stitched to the rod, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my signature.
