Description

Patented Dec. 27, 1932 IIJNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WALTER J. STUBER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNORVTO CAREY-MCFALL CO., OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA CURTAIN PULL Application led August 16, 1930.V Seria1 475,708.
rlhis invention relates to a curtain pull for use with Window shades, and particularly those employed in automobile bodies of the closed type. In the more expensive automobiles the curtain pulls are in the form of silk curtain without sewing, and which presents an appearance in keeping with all classes of automobiles regardless of their price.
Fig. l illustrates a curtain pull made in accordance with the principles of my invention, and applied to a window shade such as used in closed automobiles;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged front view of a portion of the curtain with the curtain pull applied thereto; Y
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevational taken on the line 3-3, Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a development of the blank from which the curtain pull is made.
The blank shown in Fig. 4 is adapted to be punched or cut from a sheet of suitable material, and for the purpose of economy I propose to use sheet metal of a kind adaptable for the purpose.
The blank illustrated in Fig. 4 comprises a center bottom portion 1, flanked on its opposite sides by finger-grip portions 2, 2a respectively. At the outer ends of the fingergrip portions 2, 2EL are head or clamp portions 3, 3, respectively. Extending laterally from the oppositely disposed side edges ofthe finger- grip portions 2, 2? are liange portions 4, l and 4f', la respectively. In the fingergrip portions 2, 2a are apertures 5, 5EL respectively.
The head or clamp portions 3, 3a are adapted to be bent into a substantially semi-circular form between the lines a, al and the ends 6, 6a of the blank respectively. The finger-grip portions 2, 2a are adapted to be bent on the lines Z, b1 substantially at right angles to the plane of the bottom portion 1 and in directions towardeach other until the said finger-grip portions 2, 2a engage each other at points adjacent the lines a, al, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, the bottom portion 1 of the blank maintaining the opposite ends of the finger-grip portions 2, 2a in spaced relation to each other as clearly shown in Fig. 3. In order to close the space between ythe said finger-grip portions the flanges4, l and 4a, 4a are bent inwardly along the lines c, c and c1, c1 into a plane substantially at right angles to the plane of the finger-grip portions 2, 2a. In the present instance I have shown the usual form of shade,lindicated at 10, which is wound on a suitable roller rotatably supported in brackets 11, 11, the shade 10 being provided with a suitable hem 12 in which is mounted a pull rod 13, eyelets 14, 14 being provided at the ends ofthe draw rodv adjacent the oppositely disposed .side edges of the curtain 10, for the reception `of the usual guide cords 15, 15 which prevent flapping of the curtain when the automobile is in mot-ion. The curtainv pull 2O which has been finally shaped in the manner above noted, is adapted to be applied to the Window shade by placing the split head or clamp portions 3, 3a`in contact with' the front and back Asides respectively of the hem 12 of the curtain and passing a rivet or other suitable fastening device 1,6 through the openings 5, 5a inthe fingere grip portions 2, 2a respectively, whereby the edges 7, 7 of the langes 4, 4 of the finger-grip portion 2, are brought into abutting relation to the edges 7 a, 7a of the flanges lla, la of the finger-grip portion 2a, and the split head clamp portions 3 and 3a areforced into gripping contact with the hem 12 of the curtain around the pull rod 13 therein, thus the curtain pull is rigidly secured to the curtain with the minimum amount of labor and in a manner presenting a very pleasing appearance.
In order to facilitate the operation of the curtain by means of the curtain pull 20, I have formed the abutting edges 7 and 7 of the'flanges 4e and la as curves which, when brought into abutting relation to each other, cause the curtain pull to assume an arcuate form curving outwardly from the general plane of the curtain to which the pull is applied, whereby the finger plates 2 and 2a may be more readily gripped between the thumb and first finger for more conveniently raising or lowering the curtain.
If the curtain pull is formed of metal, such as sheet iron, steel, or brass, it may be plated with nickel or chromium to produce a bright finish, or it may be painted any desired color to correspond to the color of the curtain or other trimmings within the automobile.
Vhile I have described the curtain pull as being made of sheet metal bent into form, obviously the curtain pull could be molded in hard rubber, bakelite or similar material having a sufficient amount of resiliency to permit the split head clamp portions 3, 3a to be sprung over the curtain rod and thus leliminate the fastening 16, or the clamp portion 3, 3 may be formed as a solid head having an opening passing axially therethrough for the reception of the drawT rod l2 without departing from the essential features of the invention. i
I claim: y
1. A curtain pull composed of sheet material and formed from a blank comprising a central portion forming the bottom of the pull, a fingersgrip portion on each side of the central portion, ahead portion forming a continuation of each finger-grip portion, and a flange portion along each of the opposite side edges' of each of the finger-grip portions.
2. A curtain pull composed of sheet material and formed :from a blank comprising a central portion forming the bottom of the pull, a finger-grip portion on each side of the central portion, a head portion forming a continuation of each finger-grip portion, and a flange portion along each of the opposite side edges of each of the finger-grip portions, the edges of flanges of each fingengrip portion flaring outwardly relative to the longitudinal center line of the blank from the lines of juncture of the head portions and the finger-grip portions to the lines of'juncture of the fingergrip portions and the central bottom portion, whereby when the blank is bent into final shape the said finger-grip portion will be wedge shaped in cross section with the narrow portion of the wedge adjoining the head portion of the pull.
3. rA curtain pull composed of sheet ma-v terial and formed from a blank comprising a central portion forming the bottom of the pull, a finger-grip portion on each side of the central portion, a head portion forming a continuation of each finger-grip portion, and a flange portion along each of the opposite side edges of each of the finger-grip portions, the edges of fianges of each finger-grip portion flaring outwardly relative to the longitudinal center line of the blank and formed as curves extending from the lines of juncture of the head portions and the finger-grip portain pull throughout its length.
