Description
Nov. 1, 1938. J. ZBOCK 2,135,159
, CURTAIN ROD HOLDER Filed Sept. 50, 1957 Patented Nov. 1, 1938 UNITED STATES,
PATENT OFFICE My invention relates to improvements in curtain rod holders or brackets and the main object is to provide a device of this kind which may be readily applied to a window frame without mar: ring the same and which will rigidly support the curtain rod across the frame.
Another object is to provide a device of the kind in a simple and inexpensive form made upof a single length of strip material bent and shaped to provide a supporting finger adapted to rest on the upper corner and edge of a window frame and to which it is fastened by pins driven into the frame edge, a downwardly turned arm adapted to fit against the vertical and lateral edge of the window frame, and a forwardly'and horizontally extended arm adapted at its end to engage and support the curtain rod, the weight of the rod being transmitted back to the arm alongside the frame which resting against the wall rigidly supports the entire assembly in the desired position.
These and more specific objects will be made evident in the course of the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my invention in use, the window frame and curtain rod being shown fragmentally.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of my invention alone.
Referring now with more particularity to the drawing, Figure 1 thereof shows the upper right corner portion of a window frame A and an end portion of a conventional tubular form of curtain rod B which has an extremity C turned at right angles and adapted to be supported horizontally across the frame A a short distance below the upper edge D of the frame. Hitherto, this has been done bya bracket nailed or screwed directly to the face of the window frame but in this case the entire weight of the curtain and rod is carried by the nails or screws, causing them to loosen and require frequent replacement. This I also mars the appearance of the frame and it soon becomes very unsightlyn My invention provides a holder or bracket 5 made up from a single long strip of metal or other suitable material bent at right angles to its length at 6 to form a mounting arm I and bracing arm 8 extended at right angles and adapted thereby to fit over the upper corner portion of the frame A, as shown in Figure 1. In this position the arm 1 overlies the upper edge D of the frame and it may be secured thereto by means of pins or prongs 9 which are secured at ID to the arm and in use are driven into'the.
frame. These pins 9 might also take the form of pointed teeth punched out of the arm itself. The
A rod supporting arm H is then formed by bending the strip along a diagonal line l2 at the lower extremity of the arm 8 sothat this arm I l extends vertically on edge in a forwardly and horizontally extended plane from the frame A. The
extremity of the arm II is turned back on itself at l3 forming a tongue M which terminates in a narrow lip l5 extended at right angles.
In use the device is mounted as shown and described and the curtain rod B has its end slipped over the tongue l4 up against the lip l5 whereupon the resiliency of this tongue will maintain a frictional engagement with the rod place.
The weight of the curtain rod and the curtain (not shown) thereon is supported rigidly by the arm H since it transmits the weight back to the arm 8 which,-bearing back against the wall F, sustains the arm I I and the weight of the curtain as will be understood. The arm H cannot itself bend under the weight since it stands edgewise to the strain. In this manner the weight is actually supported against the wall and the pins 9 serve only to hold the device in place on the frame and consequently they will not readily become loosened. In any event the mounting is entirely on the edge of the frame and the face thereof cannot be marred.
The brackets are of course made in pairs for use on both the right and left sides of the window, the only difference in construction being the direction in which the various bends are made.
While I have herein set forth a certain preferred embodiment of my invention, it is understood that I may vary from the same in minor details, so as best to provide a practical device for the purposes intended, not departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
A curtain rod bracket for mounting over the upper corner of a window frame projecting in- .tubular end of a curtain rod.
