Description
F. J. BURNS TRANSOMBLIND Aug. 9, 1932.
Filed Jan.- 23, 1931 Patented Aug. 9, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FRED J. BURNS, OF SAGINAW', MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO THE COLUMBIA MILLS, IN-
TRANSOM BLIND Application filed January 23, 1931. Serial No. 510,671.
The present invention relates to blinds, and more particularly to blinds for use in transom openings over doors, and
The prime object of the invention is to design a transom blind of simple and practical construction, which is very economical to assemble, and which can be easily and quickly secured in position.
Another object of the invention is to provide a transom blind so that air may be adv mitted to a room, eliminating, however, any
drafts or strong air currents; whiclrwill be of neat and pleasing appearance, and which can be suitably finished to harmonize with the color scheme of the room or walls in which it is used.
A still further object is to provide a transom blind constructed as a unit, which can be readily removed or secured in position,
so and which will not interfere with the operation of the conventional transom window.
A better understanding of the invention may be had from the accompanying drawing and the Various advantageous features will 85 become apparent from the following description.
In the drawing,
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front view of a door and transom showing my transom blind :0 in proper position.
Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view thereof.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail front view, showing one of the metal supports.
Fig. 4 is an edge view.
Fig. 5 is an isometric view, showing a slightly different means for securing the blind.
As shown in the drawing, the blind is designed for use in transoms and similar openings, although it will be clearly understood that it can be used in any position where practicable or desirable. The numeral 2 indicates a conventional door, and a transom opening 3 is provided over said door in the usual manner, a transom window 4 forming a closure for said opening, and is hingedly mounted as shown at 5 to permit it to be swung up to any desired adjusted position, or it can be entirely removed if so desired.
The blind is adapted to be inserted in this transom opemng and comprises a pair of spaced apart vertically disposed supporting members 6 preferably stamped, as shown in Figs. 3 and at of the drawing to provide legs 7, which in practice are bent outwardly as clearly shown in Fig. 4, so that the blind slats 8 can be secured thereto by means of bolts or rivets 9, the ends of the members 6 are bent at right angles to the main body and openings 10 are provided therein to accommodate suitable screws so that the blind unit may be secured in position.
in Fig. 5 of the drawing I have shown a slight modification in construction; this design includes a pair of uprights 11 having horizontally disposed supporting members 12 which form a base so that the blind can be installed as a unit, and when desiring to secure it in fixed position, suitable screws are inserted through these members and into the header 13 provided on the door frame.
From the foregoing description it will be clearly obvious that l have perfected a very simple, practical and ornamental blind for use in transoms and similar openings, which can be made up of short slat sections, and in which the uprights can be a punch and die operation, suring mass production at a minimum cost.
What I claim is:
1. The combination with a transom opening, of a pair of vertically disposed metal strips having a plurality of legs formed integral therewith, said legs projecting outwardly from one edge of the strips, slats supported on the legs with the inner longitudinal edge of the slats in contact with one face of the strips, and the ends of the slats projecting beyond the strips.
2. The combination with an opening in a wall, of spaced apart vertically disposed bars secured therein and having a plurality of legs formed integral therewith, said legs being uniformly bent at an angle with relation to the main body and projecting outwardly from one edge of the bars, and slats supported on said legs with the inner longitudinal edge of the slats in contact with one face of the 100 bars, and the ends of the slats projecting beyond the bars.
3. The combination with a transom opening, of a pair of vertically disposed strips having a plurality of legs formed integral therewith, said legs projecting outwardly from one edge of the strips, slats secured to the legs, the ends of said slats projecting beyond said strips.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
FRED J. BURNS.
