Aug. 5, 1941. R. R. AUGER NAILLESS CURTAIN FIXTURE Filed Jan. 24, 1940 ATTORNEYS WIYNEFS Patented Aug. 5, 1941 UNITED STTES lflQE NAILLESS CURTAIN FIXTURE Robert R. Auger, Hampton, N. H.
Application January 24, 1940, Serial N o. 3l5,418
1 Claim.
This invention relates to nailless curtain fixtures and has for an object to provide a device of this character which may be applied to window frames without the use of nails, screws, or other connectors, and which will not mar the front face of the frame when being applied or removed.
A further object is to provide a device of this character which will t all types of window frames formed of wood or similar soft material.
A further object is to provide a device of this character which will be formed of a few strong simple and durable parts, which will be inexpensive to manufacture, and which will not easily get out of order.
With the above and other objects in View the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages ofthe invention.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary front elevation of a window equipped with nailless curtain fixtures constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the parts of the fixture separated.
Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the various views, I designates a window frame. The curtain fixtures each comprise a bracket formed from a flat metal bar II, the upper end portion of the bar being bent rearwardly, as shown at I2, and then downwardly, the downwardly extending portions being formed with points or teeth I3 for engaging the upper edge of the window frame, as best shown in Figure 2.
The lower end of the plate is formed with relatively long and relatively short forwardly extending flanges I4 and I5. The flanges are formed in the upper edges thereof with respective slots I6 and I'I. The slot I6 of the long flange being disposed out of alinement with and forwardly in advance of the slot I1 in the short flange.
For use in connection with the bracket above described there are provided a pair of flat extensible lace curtain and drape supporting rods I8 and I9. Each rod comprises a substantially tubular member formed of sheet material bent upon itself and a flat member 2| adapted to be telescopically received in the tubular member. Both members have their extreme ends bent rearwardly to provide flanges 22 which extend at a right angle to the members, to extend along respective flanges of the bracket and adjacent the flanges, the members are provided with slots 23 in the lower edges. The slots of the drape rod I9 are adapted to be interengaged with the slots I6 of the long flanges I4 of the brackets, while the slots of the lace curtain rod are adapted to be interengaged with the slots Il of the short flanges I5 of the brackets. The flanges I4 and I5 of each bracket, being of different length, support the rods in spaced relation parallel to the top of the window frame to receive inner lace curtains and outer drapes.
To apply the brackets it is simply necessary to dispose the ilat bars I I against the front face of the window frame and then drive the teeth or points I3 into the top edge of the frame with a hammer, or other tool. Application or removal of the brackets does not mar the finish of the front surface of the frame.
From the above description it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be fully understood without further explanation.
What is claimed is:
In a curtain fixture, a bracket formed of a flat plate of sheet metal, the upper end portion of the plate being turned rearwardly and then downwardly, the downwardly extending portion being formed of teeth for engaging the upper edge of a window frame, a relatively long flange extending forwardly from the lower portion of the plate, a relatively short flange extending forwardly from the lower portion of the plate parallel with the long flange, there being respective slots in the upper edges of both ilanges offset from each other, the slot in the long flange being disposed outwardly in advance of the slot in the short flange, and a pair of extensible lace curtain and drape supporting rod members having rearwardly directed ends to provide flanges adapted to extend along respective flanges of the bracket, the members being provided adjacent the flanges thereof with slots in the lower edges adapted to interengage with respective slots of the flanges of the bracket, the slot of the drape rod being adapted to be interengaged with the slot of the long flange of the bracket and the slot of the lace curtain rod being adapted to be interengaged with the slot of the short flange of the bracket, the flanges of the bracket being of different lengths supporting the rods in spaced relation parallel to the top of the window frame.
