BACK BAND CURTAIN ROD AND DRAPERY BRACKET Filed Oct. 16 1933 Patented Aug. 14, 1934 v UNITED STATES 1,969,913 r 4' BACK BAND CURTAIN Ron A D DR PERY BRACKET Greigg N. D. .Stapledon, Detroit, Mich assignorvv of one-half to Otto C. Ford, Richmond, Mich.
Application October 16, 1933, Serial No. 693,780
. 3 CIaimS. (Cl; 156'--22 It is obviously a well known fact that the customary method for putting up curtain rods and brackets for various kinds of drapery consists merely of the use of nails, which are driven into the window trim work and often splitting the wood or otherwise marring or defacing the finish of the trim, which very soon becomes unslightly, particularly when the rods and brackets are repeatedly changed from their former positions.
The primary object of this invention is to entirely overcome any necessity of this difliculty by providing a small, neat and compact bracket that is specially designed and arranged to accommodate both rod and bracket, and is adapted to be clamped to the head of the window trim by means of a neat screw and with prongs adapted to slightly penetrate the lower edge of the head subject to the pressure of the screw. In this manner the arrangement is neat and substantial for the purpose and may be readily removed from the head or attached thereto without the slightest difficulty, and with no liability of injuring the window trim or marring the surface thereof.
The invention possesses further advantages, all of which will be clearly revealed during the course of the following detailed description, illustrated throughout the accompanying drawing, and more fully pointed out in the appended claims.
With reference to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the complete device and showing the same normally clamped to the window head trim, and also a portion of the curtain rod and drapery bracket being broken away as indicated.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the device showing same also clamped to the window trim with drapery bracket indicated in part thereof.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of the complete device.
Figure is a perspective view of the device.
The invention comprises substantially a complete bracket that is preferably formed of a single sheet of metal, and which has vertically arranged body portion 1, and formed integral with said 14 body portion is a pair of oppositely disposed ears 2, and it is plainly visible that the upper portion of said ears converge to a point, thereby forming prongs 3 respectively, the purpose of which will be presently explained.
The portion of metal of body portion 1 intermediate ears 2 is deflected at right angles to said body portion as at 4, thence the metal is again deflected, extended vertically and forming elongated portion 5. The upper part of portion 5 is '55 likewise deflected and forming thereby disc portion 6, In the center of said disc portion a threaded aperture is provided so as to accommodate screw 7 as indicated, and the screw having pointed endas at 8, (Figures 2 and 4).
' Referring moreparticularly to Figure 4 it is clearly observed that oppositely disposed projections 9 and 9A are respectively formed at right angles of and to body portion 1, also lip 10 being formed upon the upper edge of each of said projections, the purpose of which presently follows.
It is further seen that the metal from projections 9 and 9A extend toward bottom edge 11 of body portion 1 and form thereby angular portions 12 respectively. The purpose of portions 12 being to reinforce projections 9 as indicated.
The details of construction of the device having been completely set forth in the course of the several preceding paragraphs, the adaptation and advantages of the use thereof follows:
Throughout the drawing and particularly Figures 1 and 2, the elements in coordination with the invention may be preferably distinguished by reference letters in which, A indicates the wall of a house or building; 13 indicates one panel of the side window trim; C likewise shows the head window trim; D illustrates the curtain rod, and E as of the drapery bracket.
It is well at this interval to refer to Figure 2. However it is understood in view of Figure 1, that two complete bracket devices are required for each Window opening. With attention still directed to Figure 2, the device is placed adjacent side panel B and it is seen that portions 5 and 6 of the device are arranged so as to provide ample clearance of head trim C, and prongs 3 being adapted to contact the lower edge of said trim. Screw '7, with point 8 thereon is turned slightly and sufficiently to eifect a pressure upon prongs 3.
In this manner the device is completely clamped into position for use.
It is understood of course, that projections 9 and 9A remain at permanent right angles to body portion 1 and likewise to panel B. Projection 9 being adapted to receive one end of drapery bracket E, and projection 9A being likewise adapted to receive one end of curtain rod D. All that is necessary to do with rod D and bracket E is to pierce a small aperture through the top portion of each element so that lugs 10 of projections 9 may engage the elements respectively. In this manner both rod and bracket are firmly retained in the manner as shown in Figures 1 and 2, without the possibility of becoming disengaged from the device at any time when in use.
It is needless to mention however that the device may be finished in any color or tone so as to fully harmonize with the interior decorations of the house in which they are used.
The advantage of making the device so as to accommodate the curtain rod and drapery bracket in a single unit, is of course to attain the maximum strength for a sheet metal device of this nature.
While one precise embodiment of the invention having been set forth in this disclosure, it may become necessary during any probable further development of the same for the market, to make certain minor changes in the details of construction, however in any eventuality a departure from the general principle as described, illustrated and claimed would of course be consistently avoided.
Having thus described my invention, what, I claim as new is:
1. In a combined bracket, a body portion for same, the upper part of said body portion extended upon both sides thereof and forming thereby a pair of oppositely disposed ears, the upper part of each of said ears converging into a prong, and said prongs constituting means for retaining the device to the head window trim.
2. In a combined bracket, a metallic body portion for same, the metal of the upper part of said body portion deflected at right angles thereto, thence extending parallel with said body portion and the opposite end thereof being likewise defiected to form thereby a V-shaped member and said end forming a disc portion, a screw for the device, a threaded aperture through the center of said disc portion adapted to receive said screw, the aforesaid V-shaped member and screw. constituting a clamping means of the device.
3. In a combined bracket, a body portion for the same, means upon said body portion for supporting and retaining a curtain rod and a drapery rodrespectively, the upper part of said body portion extended and forming thereby oppositely disposed ears, means upon said ears for retaining the'device to the head window trim, the material of the upper end of said body portion deflected at right angles thereto and extending parallel with said-body portion and the upper end thereof terminating in a clamping means for the device.
