Description

CURTAIN :s n mum fad .LandomD. smith, Richmond mnanx.
I Application December22, 1933 f 4 Glaims.
' The invention relates ,to' rods for supporting Another object is to provide a" rod to which other rods, of various lengths, maybe attached,
. either inthe same plane or at various heights, so
as to make possible a, great manycombinations suitable for any arrangement of thedrapefies. A further object is to provide various accessories with the rods to maintain-the"draperies"in certain positions, to enable-them to be I drawn back and forth, to be suspended at 'various heights in relationito the rods, and for other purposes which will be explained later. An additional object is to provide a set of curtain rods which can be, manufactured and sold at a comparatively low price.
These and other objects and advantages will be readily understood from the following de-' scription and from theaccompanying drawing of a preferred embodiment of the invention in which, however, modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims. In the drawing Fig. 1 is a front view illustrating certain of the with certain accessories attached therein,
Fig. 11 a side viewofone of these accessories,
Fig. 12 an end View of a rod and of another of these accessories, and r Fig. 13 a fragmentalrear View of two rods connected together.
Figs. 1G, 11, 12 and 13 are drawn to a larger scale than the remaining views.
Referring now to all the views, the rods, which are shown at I A, IB and iC,'are preferably made of sheet metal and have their edges bent rearwardly and inwardly towards each other so as to form two flanges Z and 3. The cross-sectional shape of the rods is clearly shown in Fig. 12.
Figs. 3 and 4 show one embodiment of one of opposite'diiections so as to 'form'tongus ll andJBl the brackethangers usedfor supporting the rods. It. consists b'fia; strip camera]: 4' oil which .a hook 5 isfform'e'don the dipper Qendl. "Theext'remexend B of the hook islo'ent downwardly Zso" asto engage on they top 'ofthe'topcasing of anyfwindow, door 5 or the like. "TheendB'is refera ly Serratedas shown at]. A forwardly .extendih'g"'fbracke"t 8 is. secured; belowthe hook. f T'Ifhe outer end'of this. bracket 'is.-.s l'it and the extreme ends bent in 10 These tongueswill slide freelylrr any of the .r-ds an'dare' kt-Iptinv pla'c'eby the'flangesZ 3.1163. "The mo dified'bracket hanger shown'in "Fig.7 simie inst rdescribed except .that it is .singlestrip ofmetall. H how-ohe 'offthe r d'ibracketsem p'i-oyea rSriattaeinngiseverarroasts each other;
This bracket is also preferably made of a strip'of metal I! and it is shaped in the manner shown. Both its ends are slit and formed into tongues I2," l3 and I4, H: which will also slide freely in any of the rods. In Fig.6 the tongues 12 and 13 are engaged 'in'the rod IA, while the tongues l4 and l5 are free to receive another red. It will be noted that with this rod bracket the rods are all supported at the same height, while with the modification shown in Figs. 8 and 9 the rods lA and IB are at different heights.
Referring now to Figs. 10, 11, 12 and 13 in which various accessories are illustrated, Fig. 10 shows a rear view of any one of the rods in which a retaining hook I6 is employed. The hook is made of spring wire, and provided with two arms I! and 18 which frictionally clamp in the rod. An end view of this hook is shown in Fig. 12. A drapery hanger I9 is shown in Figs. 10 and 11.. It consists of a wire bent as shown and provided with eyelets 20 and 2|. Fig. '13 illustrates how any of the rods may be connected together by meansof a splice rod 22. g V 0 The various ways in which this set of rods may be used and assembled will now be described. The rods may be inserted in heme in the curtains in the usual manner and the curtains may be completely arranged on the rods before these are 'put up. After thecurtains are arranged on the ring of the casing as when nails or screws areby means of these rod brackets and, as previously l ned'the rods may be arranged at the same or difierent heights, as shown in Fig. 9.
Instead of attaching the curtains, or draperies directly to the rods, they may be attached to hangers I9 such as shown in Figs."10 and 11. These hangers slide freely in the rods. To prevent the curtains or draperies from sliding on the rods, hooks, such as shown at I6 in Figs. 10 and 12, are employed. The arms l1 and I8 of these hooks exert sufficient' pressure against the rod to prevent movement of the hooks, even when heavy draperies are used. The part 22, shown in Fig. 13, provides an easy means for joining several rods, as for example when it is desired to span several windows. V
From the foregoing it will be seen that this set of rods allows agreat many combinationsto be made, that it is simple to manipulate, and inex pensive to manufacture.
Having described my invention and its objects, what I claim as new and wish toprotectby'Letters Patent is: V
1. A curtain rod set comprising a rod having a dovetailedgroove', a plurality of bracket hangers having members slidingly engageable in said groove and provided with hooks at their upper end for engagement with the top of a window casing or similar object, and a plurality of brackets each having one end engageable in said dovetailed groove and the other end adapted to support another rod on the same plane with the first-mentioned rod.
2. A curtain rod set comprising a rod having a dovetailed groove, a plurality of bracket hangers having members slidingly engageable in said groove and provided with hooks at their upper end for engagement with the top of a window casing or similar object, and a plurality of brackets each having one end engageable in said dovetailed groove and the other end adapted to support another rod on a different plane than that of the first-mentioned rod.
3. A curtain rod set comprising a rod having a dovetailedgroove, a plurality of bracket hangers having members slidingly engageable in said groove and provided with hooks at their upper end for engagement with the top of a window casing or similar'object, a plurality of brackets each having one end engageable in said dovetailed groove and the other end adapted to support a second rod, and the second rod similarly dovetailed to receive additional brackets supporting additional rods.
, 4. A curtain rod having a dovetailed groove, a plurality of bracket hangers for securing the rod to a window casing or similar object slidingly mounted in said groove, and a plurality of brackets each having one end engageable in said dovetailed groove and the other end adapted to support another curtain rod.
