TIEBACK Filed march 27, 1939 IN VEN TOR. 0074* WW1??? ATTORNEY.
Patented Oct. 22, 1940 UNITED STATES TIEBACK Ocie Cunningham, Chicago, Ill.,
assignor to Miller-Connell Mfg. 00., a corporation of Illinois Application March 27, 1939, Serial No. 264,313
3 Claims.
The invention relates to tiebacks used to secure the lower end of a curtain or drape to the window casing or door to whichever the drapery is applied.
In the use of known tiebacks for drapery, whenever access to the window or door is desired, the gathered folds held by the tieback had to be removed, necessitating a re-arrangement and redraping of the curtain.
It, therefore, constitutes an object of the invention to provide a tieback capable of holding the drape in constant position.
A further object is the provision of a tieback in which the folds of the drape are pinned so that the individual folds are always maintained even though the gathered part of the drape is shifted to afiord better access to the window or door.
It is also an object of the invention to provide an inexpensive tieback which enhances the artistic appearance of the drape or curtain.
A still further object embraces the provision of certain features of construction and arrangement tending to enhance the utility and efficiency of a tieback.
With these and other important objects in view, which will become apparent from a perusal of the invention, the latter comprises the means described in the following specification, particularly pointed out in the claims forming a part thereof, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front view of a window and curtain to which my invention has been applied.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the improved tieback and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary top plan view of the tieback.
Referring to the several views in the drawing, the tieback comprises an arm I0, provided with a plurality of apertures H for the introduction of screws l2 to secure the arm to the casing I3 of the window.
The arm continues in a bar M, which is bent into an elongated loop l5 and thence runs parallel to the bar. The end I6 is provided with a hole I! for attachment of an ornamentation such as the arrow 18. Any kind of ornamentation may be used instead of the arrow [8, which is merely illustrated as an example.
To the bar I4 a U bracket I9 is secured whose ends 20 and 2| have aligning apertures 22 for slidingly receiving a pin 23, provided with a head 24 which limits the extent of movement of the pin in one direction. The bracket end 2| is provided with a spring 25 capable of snapping over the head 24 when the same abuts with the end 2| to hold the pin against accidental displacement,
but permitting intentional withdrawal of the same.
In use, when the arm is secured to the window casing, the'curtain 26 is draped in folds and arranged in the loop I of the tieback. 5
Thereafter the pin 23 is inserted and pierces the folds so that they cannot be moved at right angles to the window, but merely parallel thereto.
If, forpurposes of cleaning the window, a greater area thereof is to be uncovered, it is only necessary to shift the curtain to the side which, however, does not disturb the arrangement of the folds except that they are more closely shirred. Thereafter, the curtain may be arranged in ordinary position and the folds spread on the pin without necessitating the re-draping of the curtain.
While the. drawing shows one embodiment of the invention, numerous changes and alterations may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
I, therefore, do not limit myself to the details of construction and arrangement, as shown, but wish to include all modifications, revisions and alterations constituting departures, within the scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A tieback for window or door hangings, including a bracket adapted to be secured to the window or door frame and having a curved portion to embrace said hangings, a pin slidably mounted on said bracket and adapted to pierce and hold said hangings against movement at an angle to the frame but permitting parallel movement to said frame, and a spring catch secured to said bracket for releasably securing said pin in functional position.
2. A tieback for window or door hangings, including a bracket adapted to be secured to the window or door frame and having a curved portion to embrace said hangings, a headed pin slidably mounted on said bracket and adapted to pierce and hold said hangings against movement at an angle to the frame but permitting parallel movement to said frame and resilient means in the path of the head of said pin to releasably encompass the head and thereby lock the pin in functional position.
3. A tieback for window or door hangings, including a bracket adapted to be secured to the Window or door frame and having a curved portion to embrace said hangings, a headed pin slidably mounted on said bracket and adapted to pierce said hanging, and a spring having a curved portion in the path of the pin head to snap over the head when reaching functional position.
OCIE CUNNINGHAM.
