1 Claim.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in shade operating brackets.
One object of the invention is to provide a bracket for suspending and operating sun awnings or window shades of any type, without the use of springs, catches or looks.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bracket for suspending and operating sun awnings or window shades of any type, whereby the life of said shades or awnings are increased through the use of said invention.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bracket of the character described whereby both shades and awnings may be raised or lowered,
retained in adjusted position, and at all times maintain a neat and even appearance.
The invention will be more readily understood from a reading of the following specification and by reference tothe accompanying drawing wherein the invention is disclosed and wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bracket constructed in accordance with the invention and shown as applied to a sun awning.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of a sun awning attached to a house by a bracket constructed in accordance with the invention and showing the possible positions of said awning in dotted lines.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the bracket.
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the same.
Figure 5 is a transverse vertical sectional View taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 3.
Figure 6 is an isometric view of the friction retaining clip, and
Figure 7 is an isometric view of another form of the invention.
In the drawing the numeral IE designates a window frame of the usual type now sold on the open market. Brackets I! and I2 are suitably secured at the upper end of the frame it! and at each end thereof.
A roller type awning I3, having the usual wooden body or cylinder M- upon which the awning is mounted, is retained within the brackets. A suitable pipe frame l5 having one end attached to the frame 10 by camel back hinges l6 serves to retain the outer end of the awning, as shown. The lower end of the awning is secured to the outer end of the frame l5.
For propelling the roller body H1 in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise motion, thereby raising or lowering the awning a corrugated wheel H is provided. The wheel is provided with a cylindrical axle l8 on one side thereof. This axle I8 is retained within a slot l9 provided in the bracket ll.
A suitable cord is passed over the wheel ll. A'retaining clip 2i is then slipped into a vertical slot 22 provided within the side face of the bracket. This clip is so formed whereby the cord 20 is held, at all times, in intimate contact with both the wheel I7 and the clip 2|.
The opposite side of the wheel is provided with a square axle 23. This axle is fitted into a complementary square bushing 24 which has been driven into one end of the body I l.
Thus it will be seen that a suitable connection is established between the propelling wheel ii and the body I l. The other end of the body M is provided with a pin 25 which is fitted into a slot 26 provided in the bracket l2. This pinallows a free clockwise or counter-clockwise movement at that end of the body 14 while the axle l8 and slot IQ of the wheel I! and bracket ll respectively, accomplish the same purpose at the other end of the body.
In operation, it may be seen that the awning may be raised or lowered, as may be desired, merely by imparting motion to the wheel I I. As will be seen, the cord 20 accomplishes this with the help of the friction clip 2|. One end of the cord 21 may be lowered thus imparting a clockwise motion to the body I 4 thereby raising the awning l3. By lowering the other endof the cord 28 a counter-clockwise motion is produced whereby the awning may be lowered.
The rounded portions 29 of the clip 2! (Figure 6) are so constructed as to frictionally engage the cord 26 with suflicient pressure to prevent uncontrolled movement of the wheel ll.
In Figure '7 a slightly modified form of the invention is shown. In this the invention may be applied to common window shade rollers now on sale on the open market. In this form a corrugated Wheel 38, a friction clip 3l-, a bracket 32 and a cord 33 are provided. The above parts are identical to the parts shown in Figures 1-6, with the exception of the wheel 30.
The wheel is provided on one side with a cylindrical axle (no-t shown) identical to the axle l8, while on the other side of the Wheel a rectangular axle 34 is provided. This axle is similar to the axle 23 described in the first form, but having a slot 35 in its outer end. A suitable sleeve 36 is engaged over the axle 34.
This slot is provided whereby the stud3'l of the usual window shade roller 38, may be inserted therein. It is to be noted that before the stud 31 is inserted within the slot 35, the spring (not shown) of the shade roller 38 is first wound to its extreme and fastened in this position. By
increasing the tension of the spring and then looking the same, it will be seen that a connection equal to that shown in the first form may be had.
From the foregoing it will be seen that a bracket suitable for use either without side awnings or inside shades may be had. The advantage of the invention with the use of awnings may readily be noted. The invention may enable the awning to be raise-d or lowered and set in an exact position in a minimum amount of time without the aid of hooks or locks of any kind.
In use with a window shade the advantages are even greater. The shade need never be touched thereby eliminating the dirt and tearscribed is capable of some modification and such modification as may be construed within the scope and meaning of the appended claim is also considered to be within the spirit and intent of the invention.
What is claimed is:
A shade roller bracket comprising a substantially L-shaped member having apertures in one leg and a slot and hole in the other leg, spaced from each other and from one end thereof, a peripherally corrugated wheel having a spindle journaled in said hole and provided on its opposite face with a protuberance for engaging with the end of a shade roller to effect rotation of the latter When said wheel is rotated, a cord overriding said wheel having free pull ends to efiect rotation of said wheel and a substantially U-shaped clip retained in the slot of said L- shaped member and whose ends conformably embrace the portion of said cord overlying said wheel.
