CURTAIN ROD TIP OR CURTAIN PROTECTOR Filed June 30, 1931 Patented Mar. 21, i 1933 CURTAIN non TI? on. CURTAIN PROTECTOR Application filcd June 30,
This invention relates to a curtain rod tip or curtain protector, and it is an object of the invention to provide a device of this kind which, when applied to the endportion of a rod, provides effective means to facilitate the desired threading of the rod through the casing or sheathe of the curtain or other -dra-- pery. g
Another object of the inventionis to provide a device of this kind which may be slid upon the end portion of a curtain rod and which, when in such applied position, serves effectually to prevent the sharp edges of the rod proper cutting through the curtain and lengthwise through an end portion of a our- 1931. sen-ant. 547,9 4. e V r f tain rod and a tip or protector applied thereto. 1
As disclosed in the accompanying drawing, C denotes a conventional type of ourtain rod ofthe-flat -C type'in cross section and which is adapted to bethreaded or inserted through the casingor sheathe 1 suitably provided in a'curtainor the like;
Ordinarily in threading the rodC the *sheathe orcasing 1 the, sharp edges of through" i A the rod C have a tendency to cutthrough the a fabric and thus not only'interfere with the desired application of'the rod but materially damage the curtain. "To avoid these mani-' disposed on a curvature from end to end and more especially when the'rod isbeing applied fest disadvantages I provide a curtain rod to the curtain. v tip or curtain protector R which is adapted The invention consists in the details of to be sliduponeither end portion of the-rod construction and in the combination and ar- (land when so applied to 'efiectively protect rangement of the several parts of my imthe fabric-of the curtain against injury from 20 proved curtain rod tip or curtain protector the sharp edges of the rod and also to mate- 5 whereby certain important advantages are rially facilitate the threading of the rod attained and the device rendered simpler, through the sheathe or casing. less expensive and otherwise more conven- 'My improved tip or protector R, as herein ient and advantageous for use, as will be disclosedyis formed from an elongated strip hereinafter more fully set forth. of metal of desired dimensions and which in The novel features of my invention will theblank has its opposite end portions pro hereinafter be definitely claimed. vided at one side with laterally disposed In oiglcler the; niy inylention may bedtlie'bgtehongated wingsalQ arfidE let the oppgsitefstifie ter un erstoo W1 now rocee o e- P0111 S inwar y 0 e inner en s o e scribe the same with referenc to theaccomg ii filwith thea tfiifalltvdispoeed fiat an i d d i q h i e same s1 e e s r p 18 38 0 provi e p Figu re 1 is a fragmentary view in'perspec- Wlth' the Smaller flat g ttp tive illustrating a curtain'rod partly thread- ,Wardly P h lugs 3 nd 1y of t c-red within the sheathe or casing of a curtain 1n relatllely close-proxlmlpty to h 'm with a tip or protector constructed in accordof the wtngs p ance with my invention applied to the rod' T slde marginal portlolts of the metal" Fi 'ure 2 is a view in sideelevationof'the Stlnp propgr are mwardly (imposed to P 1 d h 1 d vide the side walls 6 substantiallv' equldisevtce as i Ose utmpp 1e 'tantly spaced from the transverse'center of 40 Flgure 3 1s a vlew lIl elevation of the oppothe metal Strip pro-pen Opposite end 85 81456 ,Slde of h devtcei p portions of the strip are folded or returned- Flgur? 4 1S a W P of the blank to provide a substantially U-shaped member from} Whlch h dance 15 P d; consisting of theside channel arms with the 5 Figure 5 is a fragmentary v ew taken intermediate portion 7 connecting said arms m merging with the adjacent extremities of the side arms in a manner whereby is eliminated any sharp edges or corners. This intermediate portion 7 is also of channel formation and receives the end of the rod C upon which the tip or device is applied whereby effective protection is had against such sharp edges of the rod cutting or otherwise injuring the fabric of the curtain when the rod is being threaded into applied position.
The completed device is so formed as to snugly receive between the side arms thereof the end portion of the rod C with the inter- -mediate portion of the device outwardly disposed or directed acrossthe end of the rod In testimony whereof I hereunto aifix my signature.

thereby providing means to facilitate the desired threading of the rod through a casing or sheathe and at the same time eliminating the liability of the fabric of such casing or sheathe being injured during such threading operation. vWhen the device is applied to the curtain rod the wings 2 have close contact with theouter face of the rodwhile the flat lugs 3 are disposed inwardly to have close contact with the free longitudinal edges of the rod. The contact of the lugs 3 with the longitudinal edges of the rod serve to maintain the side arms closely adjacent tothe rod and also hold said side arms-when the tip is applied against any tendency of separating movement as a result of inherent resiliency possessed by the tip. The lugs 4e have close frictional contact with the free longitudinalmarginal portions of the rod. I
It is, therefore, believed to be clearly apparent that the construction of the tip or protector is such as to permit its ready and convenient application to the end portion of a curtain rod and also to assure the device against accidental displacement.
From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a curtain rod tip or curtain protectoriconstructed in accordance with my invention is particularly-well adapted for use vby reason of the convenience and facility with which it. may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not'wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.
I claim':- 1
1. A tip for a curtain rod of a flat C type comprising a U-shaped member having channel side arms to snugly receive therebetween an. end portion of the rod, said side arms at one side of the tip being provided with, inwardly disposed fiat lugs to be extended-inwardly of the rod to which the tip is applied for close contact with the free longitudinal edges of the rod.
