IMPROVEMENT IN CURTAIN-FIXTURES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 180,29l, dated July 25, 1876; application filed May 29, 1876.
To all whom tt may concern: 1
Be it known that I, FREDERIG A.VRE1 )EN- BURGH, of Carmel, in the county of Putnam and State of New York, have invented aneImprovement in Shade-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification:
This invention relates to that class of ourtain or shade fixtures in which the curtain is shade.
' In the drawing, Figure l is an elevation of Fig. 2 is a seewhich the cord-holder plate is cut, so that it may be bent-up to receive thelever.
The cord-holder is made of two principal parts-the lever a and the plate I). These are preferably of sheetnietal, and the plate I) is cutout in the general shape shown in Fig. 3. The two ears 2 2 are bent up to receive the The eye 4 for the cords is from the central part of the sheet, and bent up at right angles to the restof the plate, and the spring clamping-tongue 5-is also from the center part of the plate, bent the opposite way to the eye 4.. The pins or screws 0 serve to attach the plate a to the window-frame. The lever to isforked at the end, and the sheet metal'rolled over to form a bearin g, 8, for the cord to clamp it against the spring 5. The forks 9 pass at each side of the spring 5, and prevent the cord getting out of its place. There is aguide-eye, 10, at the lower end of the lever a, through which the cords d pass. The curtain i, of paper or other material, is attached at its upper end to the window-casing, and provided withthe roller l at the lower end, as usual. The two -cords (1 pass through the eye 10, between'the end of the lever a and the spring 5; thence down through the eye 4, and then diverge, passing beneath the roller l, up behind the curtain i to the casing, where such cords are fastened.
The operation is, that when the cord 01 is pulled away from the curtain, the lever a is moved sufficient] y to liberate thecord, and allow the shade to he pulled up or lowered down, as desired, and then, when the cord hangs vertically, the lever to is swung sufficiently to clamp the cord and hold the shade at Whatever point it may have been rolled to.
I claim as my invention clamping-tongue 5, made of one piece of sheet metal, in combination with the lever a, with the eye 10 for the .cord, substantially as set forth.
2. The cord-holder for a window-shade, made A 1. The plate 0, cars 2, eyeget, and spring I
