2 Claims.
This invention relates to curtain rod brackets and particularly to curtain rod brackets for use in connection with straight hollow sheet metal extension curtain rods which are used as sash rods. Heretofore such rods have been mounted on brackets which are inserted in the ends of the rods and which expand resiliently to bear against the inside walls of the rod. Such brackets have not p-roven entirely satisfactory and particularly when used with extension curtain rods of the type referred to, they are particularly undesirable because of the difference in size of the two extension sections of the rod. A bracket which will fit within the smaller section is not satisfactory for the larger section and it has been necessary in some instances in order to make use of the same brackets for one rod to form the ends of the rod of the same size.
The objects of this invention are:
First, to provide a new and improved bracket of the type described.
Second, to provide such a bracket of the type described in which the Wall of the hollow curtain rod is clamped between two resilient clamping members which adequately support the rod and which are not dependent for proper support upon the size of the rod.
Third, to provide such a bracket which can be made economically.
Other objects and advantages pertaining to details and economies of construction and operation will appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined in the claims. A preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my bracket in place supporting a hollow sheet metal extension curtain rod of C-shaped cross section.
Fig, 2 is a top view of the rod shown in Fig, 1 partly in section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an end view of the rod shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a front elevation view of one of my improved brackets.
Fig. 5 is a detail sectional View taken on line 55 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is a view in section corresponding to the right hand end of Fig. 2, showing how the rod is inserted in the bracket.
My improved bracket I which is adapted to support a sheet metal extension rod 2 of C-shaped cross section or any other similar hollow rod consists of a base 3 provided with apertures 4 for attaching screws 5 which extend into a wall 6 and a projecting member or return 'I. At the free end of the projecting member are resilient 3;
clamping members 8 and 9. The inner clamping member projects into the end of the curtain rod and bears against the inside of the wall I!) thereof. The member 9 extends outside of the rod and bears against the outside of the wall I 0, clamping the wall II] against the member 8, The member 9 extends beyond the member 8 which is provided with a lip II which is ofiset from the member 8 by a slanting portion I2 and which extends beyond the projecting end of the member 9.
This lip II is adapted to be first inserted into the rod so as to guide the rod to its final position. In Fig. 6 I show how this is accomplished. The rod 2 is placed over the lip II and is moved to th right, as viewed in Fig. 6. The lip- II guides the rod to the position shown with the member 9 engaging the outside of the wall I0 and the member 8 adapted to engage the inside of the wall. The rod is then moved to the right until it eventually comes to the position shown in Fig. 2 with the wall clamped by the members 8 and 9.
It will be noted that the bracket I is made of sheet metal and that the member 9 is merely a tongue struck out of the material forming the member 8, the lip II and the diagonally extending portion I2, so that the bracket can be made economically by means of dies.
It will be noted that the rod is adequately supported and clamped at both ends by my improved brackets. The brackets can be of the same sizeand it is not necessary to have the smaller extension section I3 of the rod formed with its end as large as the larger extension section I4.
The terms and expressions which have been herein employed are used as terms of description and not of limitation. There is no intention in the use of such terms and expressions of excluding any equivalents of the features shown and. described or portions thereof, but it is recognized that various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention claimed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A sheet metal bracket for hollow sheet metal curtain rods comprising a base, a member adapted to be inserted in the end of a rod to bear against the inner side of the Wall thereof, and a clamping member comprising a tongue struck up from said first member and bent to bear against the outer side of the wall of a rod to clamp the wall against said first member, said first member being bent to extend diagonally away from a point on: said second member between its ends and terminating in a lip adapted to be inserted in the end of a rod, whereby a rod will be guided to position for clamping between said members.
2. A sheet metal bracket for hollow sheet metal curtain rods comprising a base, a member adapted to be inserted in the end of a rod to bear against the inner side of the wall thereof, and a clamping member comprising a tongue struck up from said first member and bent to bear against the outer side of the wall of a rod to clamp the wall against said first member.
FRED W. RICHARDSON.
