This invention relatesto improvements in curtain rod lsupports and has particular reference to a supportwhich may be employed for raisingor lowering the curtain rod so that the curtain mayl be readily piaced and removed therefrom. f
A further object'is toprcduce a deviceof this be free from ,projections which might damage lacy curtains.y 1" 'i j vOther 'objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.` .In the accompanying drawing' forming a part of this specification andin which like numerals are employed to designate like parts ,throughout the same,
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view;
line 3 3 of- Fig. 2; f,
,Fig l is a crossl sectional view .takenv on` the line 4-4`oi Fig. l; and A Fig. 5 is airagmentary perspective lView ing the slider arrangement.
l The ordinary window cu-rtainsare supported-`r upon rods mountedf upon brackets adjacent tha` upper extremity of the `window casing. As ay result of this constructions it is necessary for the person placing the `curtains on therods to 'stand on a ladder, chair, or the. likein'A order to perf# form this function. Many serious accidents have therefore, devised a curtain rod support which is slidablei and permitsjtherod or rods to beilowered to a height where the person may readily place or remove thecurtains from 'the rods without the". employment of a stepladder or the like to stand y upon.
In the accompanyingdrawing wherein for the, purpose of illustration is shown a'preferred lembodirnent of our` inventiom-the'nurneral tiy designates a window frame upon which our-'device is mounted, Y Thisf'rarne may ber r'abhetedout as l shownat 6 so thatthe `track ofthe device maybe flush 'with the surface of vthe window casing, if desired. makes an attractive installation.
Our device consists of a track 'Iso constructed as tovhave a channel 8 and flared edgesilandl L These flared edges 9 and H serve to support a qrunnegr l2, whichrunner is |attached to the upper end of the bar l3, which bar has an outl wardly turned' end l4," and an opening `l6 is formed therethrough sov as to engage a tongue Il punched from the track l; A `friction block i8 is securednear thebottom ofv the track, and ja i' guard is's'ecuredto the lower endof the track plan View of our device as the same would appear whenv mounted upona Y l It is, of', course, obviousthat the opposite .side
` of the window is adjusted in thejsame manner.
However,` this is not necessary but rod may be swung to a vertical position, ifdesired,` without danger of bending the same, v In 3 We have shown the use of' two .rods A and B, Itis, of course, be used if desired.
The result of this construction is that when the parts are in 'the'position of Fig; ll. and it is .desired topl'ace curtains upon` the rods A and B, v the operator takes hold of the'outwardly turned c end it and liits the same slightly against gravity,
thus disengaging thetongue Il fromthe opening lli, after which the end of the baris moved outobvious that one could wardly, as shown in dotted 1inesinlig.4,'and
dropped any desired distance.
By having the brackets E2 movable, this 11p-and downv movement may be accomplished without any binding `or twisting effect". upon the rods.
There 'is sufficient tension between the guard 1 9 and the friction block i8 tcp-'permit` stoppage at f any -point in thetravel so that theoperator may adjust. the rod to anyl desired height forjeasy ad- 'invention herewith shown and described is to bel that various changes relative to the material, size,v
shape and arrangement of parts maybe resorted to withoutdepartingfrom the spiritp ofthe`in ventionorthe scope' of the subjoined claim.
yI-iaving thus described our invention,; we' clainr: -In a device of `the eharacterdescribed,a supporting trackmountedfadjacent oneside of a window 4and embodying in its construction ak channel having outwardly iiared edges, ja slide movable on said flared edges, a bar mounted in said channeland secured to said Sden-said bar being'flush with ,the outer surface of'said channel, the lower/end of said bar being'bentat an angle vof 90? and having an rope ning -fo`rmed therethroughat the bend thereof, a' tongue struck from saidv channel adjacent its lower'enda'nd capable of entering said opening in saidbar when said ."bar, is at its upper limit offtraveLwa. guard mounted on said track and spaced from said bar a. suicient distance to permit said `bar tow be f moved. forv'vardly to disengage from said tongue when said bar is toghe moved downwardly said channel, and airiction bar interposed between said trackfand said bar to retardthe dropping vci said bar during the lowering operation.
