4 Claims.
This invention relates to devices used to screen the interior of a room from direct observation from the outside and prevent the passage of strong rays of light, such devices being commonly called blinds, screens, curtains, flags, banners, shades, awnings, portieres, etc. etc.
It is an object of the invention to provide a screen of the foregoing type for the openings in the walls of a building, such as windows, that permit the free passage of air, light and sound but vision and beams of strong light are obscured.
A further feature is in the provision of a screen adapted to filter entering light rays through colored or colorless transparent panels, imparting an agreeable appearance to the room and its contents.
Another purpose is to produce a hanging screen composed of plural rows of independently pivoted panels permitting the passage of light modified in color as may be desired, and free to move with any breeze to which they may be sub jected.
These and other analogous objects are accomplished by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of few and simple parts as hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, constituting a component of this disclosure, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary perspective view showing a modified form of the invention.
Figure 3 is an end elevational view looking on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a perspective view showing in detail one of the panel holders as used in Figures 1 and 3.
Figure 6 is a similar view of a holder as used in Figure 2.
Referring in greater detail to the drawing, a support bar, designated by the numeral I5, is shaped to produce downturned ends 16 suited to engage with ordinary window shade hangers, not shown.
A plurality of thin flat hangers ll are provided with end openings to freely engage on the bar I5 and are held uniformly distanced apart by slots 18 formed in the under side of a tube l9 encircling the bar and supported centrally of it by resting on the inreaching ends of the hangers H.
The lower outreaching ends of the hangers are also perforated to receive a rod 20 threaded at its ends to receive nuts 2|.
Strung on the rods 20, closely adjacent the hangers I1, are double ended links 22, their free, lower ends engaging another rod 28' provided with nuts 2|, and supporting a successive series of links 22', so continuing to the end of the screen.
The panels 25, which may be glass, Celluloid or other similar transparent material, colored as may be preferred, are held in frames 26 having sides 21 slightly inclined towards each other to engage the panels and a bottom 28.
Extending rearwardly from the upper member 29 of the frame, are a pair of spaced hooks 30 adapted to engage over the rods 2020' and can be held by closing the hooks in such manner as to turn freely on them, as indicated in Figures 1 and 3.
In Figures 2 and 6 the sides 21' of the frames 26' are similarly formed, but extended at their tops, as at 3!, forming ears having perforations 32 engageable on the rods, the frames being in all other respects as previously described.
The effect of the colored light passing through the panels is highly agreeable and it will be understood that air may pass freely by the sides of the frames and also a pleasant degree of light, the frames hanging normally pendant but freely movable by air currents.
Although the foregoing is generally descriptive of the best known embodiments of the invention, it will be apparent that the same is subject to such modifications and changes as may come within the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
Having thus described the invention and set forth the manner of its construction and application what is claimed as new and sought to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A window curtain comprising a supporting bar and a pendant lattice frame pivotally supported upon the bar, the transverse members of the frame being parallel to the supporting bar, an individual frame member disposed in and substantially filling each lattice opening and pivoted at its top to the transverse member and having its bottom end free, and a screen element in each individual frame member.
2. A window curtain comprising a supporting bar and a pendant lattice frame pivotally supported upon the bar, the transverse members of the frame being parallel to the supporting bar and the longitudinal members being sectioned with the sections pivotally supported upon the transverse members, whereby the frame is capable of articulation upon the transverse members, an individual frame member disposed in and substantially filling each lattice opening and pivoted at its top to the transverse member and having its bottom end free, and a screen element in each individual frame member.
3. A Window curtain comprising a tube having spaced circumferential slots on its under side, a supporting bar axially disposed in the tube, and
r a pendant lattice frame pivotally supported upon the bar with the pivoted top ends of the longitudinal frame members disposed in the slots, the transverse members of the frame being parallel to the supporting bar, an individual frame member disposed in and substantially filling each lattice opening and pivoted at its top to the trans verse member and having its bottom end free; and a panel element in each individual frame member.
4. A window curtain comprising a tube having spaced circumferential slots on its under side, a supporting bar axially disposed in the tube, and a pendant lattice frame pivotally supported upon the bar with the pivoted top ends of the longitudinal frame members disposed in the slots, the transverse members of the frame being parallel to the supporting bar and the longitudinal members being sectioned with the sections pivotally supported upon the transverse members, whereby the frame is capable of articulation upon the transverse members, an individual frame member disposed in and substantially filling each lattice opening and pivoted at its top to the transverse member and having its bottom end free, and a screen element in each individual frame member.
