Description
June/3, 1941- P. B. STRATTON DRAPERY HARDWARE Filed July 7, 1939 1N VENTOR.
ATTORNE Patented June 3, 1941 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DRAPERY HARDWARE Philip B. Stratton, Sturgi s, Mich, assignor to Kirsch Company, Sturgis, Mich.
Application July 7, 1939, Serial No. 283,197
9 Claims. 156- 212) This invention relates to improvements in drapery hardware.
The objects of this invention are:
First, to produce a new and improved article of drapery hardware.
Second, to provide such an article of drapery hardware which incorporates in a unitary structure a curtain rod and festoon rings.
Third, to provide such an article of drapery hardware in which simple attaching brackets serve to support both the curtain rod and the festoon rings. 7
Fourth, to provide such an article of drapery hardware in which the curtain rod and festoon rings may be simply and easily installed by a single bracket installation and in which the festoon rings fall in the proper relationship to the curtain rod to give the desired festoon draping treatment,
Further objects and advantages pertaining to details and economies of construction and operation will appear from the description to follow. A preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1. is a front View of a window with my improved article of drapery hardware thereon.
Fig. 2 is a detail front View of my improved article of drapery hardware.
Fig. 3 is a detail view taken from the left end of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a detail view showing the festoon ring support of my invention.
Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view taken on line 5--5 of Fig. 3.
In the drawing my improved article of drapery hardware I is shown in place on the frame 2 of a window 3.
My article of drapery hardware consists of a a pair or brackets 4 made of sheet metal, each having a pair of fiat upwardly facing hooks 5 extending substantially perpendicularly from a wall attaching base 6. Each hook has a point 1. A curtain rod 8 which is here shown as a flat sheet metal rod of C-shaped cross section is provided. The ends of the rod are formed so that each will fit over one of the hooks 5 of each bracket 4 and each end is provided with an aperture 9 to engage the point I of such hook. I show at It festoon rings to receive a piece of material H which is supported by the ringsand festooned across the top of the window. The rings ID are supported by supports l2 which are of flat sheet metal having a flange I3 engaging the bottom of the ring I!) and provided with an aperture [4 to receive a screw l5 for attachment of the ring to the end of the support.
At the other end of the support l2, I provide a flat hollow hook receiving means by bending lateral extensions l6 and II to the form shown in Fig. 5. I provide an aperture E8 to receive the point 1 of one of the hooks 5 of each bracket when the hook is fitted in the hollowing supporting end of the bracket l2 and I form the end 19 to fit against the base 6 of the bracket so that when the support is in place, it will be held rigidly projecting from the bracket, so that the ring will be supported transversely of and at the end of the rod with its upper portion projecting above the rod and its forward portion projecting beyond the rod away from the bracket.
If the curtain rod is of any extended length, it may be desirable to provide a center festoon ring 20. If such ring is provided, I provide a support 2| having one end 22 formed to receive the ring and apertured at 23 to receive a screw 24 for attaching the ring to the support 2|. At the other end of the support 2 I, I provide spring fingers 25 and 26 to engage the top and sides of the rod so that the ring 2|] may be positioned as shown in Fig. 1. g
It will be apparent that it is possible to install my improved article of drapery hardware with a minimum of effort. The attaching brackets 4 are placed in position and thereafter it is only necessary to hook the rod and the festoon rings and their supports in place. The festoon rings will always be held in the proper relationship to the rod so that the finished window treatment will have the desired appearance.
It will be apparent that my invention can be made in forms other than that specifically shown and described above and I do not wish to be limited to that specific form. I have defined the invention in the claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. The combination of a curtain rod, a pair of brackets each having a pair of hooks thereon, means on the ends of said rod for engaging one hook of each bracket whereby the rod is supported, and a pair of supports each engageable with and supported on a hook of a bracket, and a pair of festoon rings one on each of said supports and so disposed that when said support is on said bracket said ring lies transversely of and at the end of said rod and extends above said rod and therebeyond.
2. The combination of a pair of brackets, a
curtain rod, means on said rod engageable with said brackets, supporting means engageable with said brackets and extending therefrom to a point substantially level with said curtain rod, and festoon rings supported on said means at the ends of and transversely of said rod and with their bottom portions substantially level with said rod, with the top portions of said rings extending above said rod, and the forward portions extending beyond said rod away from said brackets.
3. The combination of a curtain rod, a pair 01 festoon rings and a pair of brackets supporting both said rod and said rings with said rings disposed transversely of said rod and extending above the top of said rod and beyond said rod away from said brackets.
4. The combination of a curtain rod, a pair.
of festoon rings each having a supporting member, and a pair of brackets each engaging and supporting an end of said rod and one of said supporting members to support said rings at the ends of and transversely of said rod and extending above the top of and beyond the front of said rod away from the brackets;
5. The combination of a curtain rOd, a plurality of rings disposed to extend above, beyond and transversely of said rod to receive a festooned drape, and a pair of brackets supporting both said rod and said rings in the aforesaid relationship.
6. The combination of a bracket having a wall engaging base and a vertically disposed upwardly facing fiat hook substantially perpendicular to said base, a supporting member having a flat hollow end adapted to fit over said hook and to abut the base of said bracket and having an aperture at its upper side to receive the point of the hook, and a festoon ring at the other end of said support so mounted as to lie in a vertical'plane substantially perpendicular to the base of said bracket when said support is in place on the bracket.
7. The combination of a bracket having a wall engaging base and a vertically disposed upwardly facing hook substantially perpendicular to said base, a supporting member having a hollow end adapted to fit over said hook and to abut the base of said bracket and having an aperture at its upper side to receive the point of the hook, and 'a festoon ring at the other end of said support.
8. The combination of a bracket having a wall engaging base, and a vertically disposed upwardly facing flat hook substantially perpendicular to said base, a sup-porting member having an end of substantially C-shaped cross section adapted to fit over said hook and to abutthe base of the bracket and having an aperture in its upper portion to receive the point of the hook, and a festoon ring at the other end of said support so mounted as to lie in a vertical plane substantially perpendicular to the base of said bracket when said support is in place on said bracket.
9. The combination of a bracket having a wall engaging base and a vertically disposed upwardly facing fiathook substantially perpendicular to said base, a fiat supporting member having at one end a pair of lateral extensions bent over to form a C-shaped attaching end adapted to fit over said hook and having an aperture to receive the point of the hook, and a festoon'ring extending in the plane of said flat supporting member and fastened to the other end thereof.
