CURTA I N PULL Filed May 6, 1951 @aff/2% Patented Sept. `8, 1931 UNITED STATES `P A'rlazN'r OFFICE EUGENE C. HEALY, or MELROSE, AND NICHOLAS D. WHALEN, F ATTLEBORO,
1 MASSACHUSETTS CURTAIN PULL Application filed May 6, 1931.
Our invention relates to pulls for curtains or shades for use in buildings, automobiles or elsewhere.
An essential object of our invention is to 5 prevent the excessive swaying, folding, en-
tangling, or otli-er..distortion ofthe curtain pull, particularly when loiated in a vehicle, or when subjected to strong currents of air.
Another object is to provide a facile and effective means for assembling the parts.
, A further object is to attain these ends in a sightly, strong, and inexpensive structure.
To the above ends essentially our invention consists in such parts and in such comr binations of parts as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a curtain pull embodying our invention,
Figure 2, a fragmentary side elevation of the same,
Figure 3, a fragmentary section of the same taken on line 3 3 of Figure 1,
Figure 4, a perspective view of the attaching or clip portion and of the ring engaged thereby,
Figure 5, a perspective view of the split rino', and
Figure 6, a plan view of the thimble.
Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.
In the form thereof herein illustrated our curtain pull is composed of a knob or hand hold 10 Comprising a body 11 and a trunco conical vertical centering projection 12. The body is composed of a wooden core 15 having an outline corresponding with that of the knob, provided with a concave cavity 18 in its lower portion and a central vertical passage 19 from the cavity through the core. The exterior of the core has an external covering or sheath 21 formed by the coils 22 of a textile cord fixed to the surface of the core by glue or the like.
Seated in the cavity is a button 23 provided with a central hole 24 and having a convex top to fit the concavity. Interposed between the button and core is a thread loop Serial No. 535,326.
25 upon which is looped the depending threads 26 constituting a fringe 27.
The strands 29 of an upwardly directed loop 30 pass through the core passage 19 and snugly through the button hole 24 and have their lower ends depending below the button and embraced'adjaeent their ends by a split clamping ring 32 of pliable metal.
The loop 30 passes through a flat suspension ring 42 which is slidably seated in the thimble in the recesses 41 where it is maintained by the loop against escape therefrom.
The suspension ring is supported by an at taching member represented in a' general way by 44 comprising opposed plates 45 connected at their lower ends by a depending integral flat or transversely rectangular loop 46 adapted to embrace the ring 42 which passes therethrough. Upon the upper ends of the plates 45 are inwardly directed, and preferably downwardly inclined prongs 48. The' materialof the vmember 44 is pliable.
In order to apply the latter to the stick 50 of a shadel it is first distended into some such position as shown in broken lines in Figure 3, and then, manually or by pliers, compressed tofor'ce the prongs 48 intothe stick 50, and bind the loop 46 into rigid engagement with the ring 42. A
Any desired limited degree of sway permitted the knob is determined by the degree of tension of the loop 30 upon the suspension ring l42, which tension isl effected by the height of the clamping ring 32 upon the loop strands 29. To apply the clampingring in assembling is manually slipped up over the depending ends of the strands against the bottom of the button 23 with the desired degree of pressure while the ends are being held under tension,'and while so positioned the clamping ring, in the open position shown in Figure 5, is tightly clamped together and immovably secured upon the strands.
Vhile we have described specific constructional features, it is obvious that desired changes in the proportion and the arrangement of the parts may be made, without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
IVe cla-im l. In a curtain pull, a knob, a thimble upon the knob provided in its top with an opening and with recesses communicating with the opening, a. loop in the opening carried by the knob, a suspension ring through which the loop passes registering in the recesses, and an attaching member supporting the ring.
2. In a curtain pull, a knob provided with a cavity in its bottom and with a central vertical passage extending therefrom, a thirnble resting upon the knob provided in its top with an opening and with oppositely disposed recesses communicating with the opening, a loop in the opening includingstrands extending through the passage, a button in the cavity engaging the strands, a suspension ring through which the loop pass-es registering in the recesses, and an attaching member supporting the ring.
3. In a curtain pull, a knob provided with a cavity in its lower portion and with a passage leading upwardly therefrom, a thimble upon the knob provided in its top with an Vopening and with recesses extending there- ,the ring.
4. In a curtain pull, a knob comprisinga body and a vertical centering projection, said body being provided with a cavity, and the body and the projection being provided with a passage extending from the cavity through the body and projection, a conical` thimble resting upon the body concentric with the pro]ect1on provided with an opening in its top and with recesses communicating with the openings, a ring in the recesses,
,a loop in the opening carried by the knob,
and .a suspension ring through which the llrop passes frictionally engaging the thimo e.
7. In a curtain pull, a knob, a thiinble upon the knob provided in its top with an opening, a loop engaged by the knob and extending into the opening, and a suspension ring tightly engaged by the loop.
In testimony whereof we have affixed our signatures.
