Description
' E. PEZZELLA DRAPERY HANGER Jan. 27, 1948.
Filed Feb. 15, 1946 I INVENTOR.
Patented Jan. 27, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DRAPERY HANGER Elizabeth Pezzella, Philadelphia, Pa., assignor to Filomeno Pezzella, Philadelphia, Pa.
Application February 15, 1946, Serial No. 647,735
1 Claim. 1
The obje t of this invention is to overcome the necessity of using poles, rings, hooks or pins in the hanging of draperies.
A further object of the invention is to devise a novel hanger into which the fabric can be inserted and retained in position in a novel manner.
A further object of the invention is to devise a novel drapery hanger having a series of spaced fingers between which the fabric is folded and a novel retaining member having fingers to secure the fabric between spaced fingers of said series of fingers.
Other features of construction and advantage will appear in the detailed description.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, I haveshown in the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of it which I have found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results. It is, however, to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which the invention consists can be variously arranged and or ganized and the invention is not limited to the exact arrangement and organization of these instrumentalitles as herein set forth.
Figure 1 is a front elevation showing the drapery in position on the hangers.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the holding member of the drapery hanger.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the retaining member of the drapery hanger,
Figure 4 is a front elevation of the retaining member.
Similar numerals of reference indicate correponding parts.
Referring to the drawings:
The drapery hanger consists of two parts I and 2, respectively, which may be fabricated from wood, metal plastic, or any other suitable material.
The part I is preferably flat at the top and has a desired number of superimposed fingers 3 which are upwardly and outwardly directed and are spaced from each other to form slots or openings 4. The part I is secured in a vertical or any desired angular position on a window frame by suitable fastening devices passing through an upper strip 5 and a lower strip 6. The hangers can be secured to a single window, or to double, triple or bay windows with intermediate hangers between end hangers. The top portion of the part I is rounded at l to be in the vertical plane of the rounded free ends of the fingers 3.
The part 2 which serves as a retaining member has outwardly and downwardly directed fingers 8 and an ornamental front portion 9. The fin- 2 gers 8 are spaced from each other to form slots or openings It! so that the fingers 8 can telescope into the slots 4 of the holding part I of the dra pery hanger.
ll designates the drapery. The number of slots and fingers may be different for different widths of fabric, and, as shown, they are adapted for thirty-six and forty-eight inch material.
The manner in which the drapery is applied to the hangers will now be clear to those skilled in this art and is as follows:
The height and width of the window is measured. Each end of the fabric is hemmed so that the drapery will fall evenly when hung.
The drapery is stretched on top of the hangers so that each side hangs evenly, and then secured to the hangers by thumb tacks. Then, beginning at the top slot of the part I insert the fabric with a pencil or similar device, pressing it in to the bottom of the slot, and follow in the same manner, with each succeeding slot 4. When the last slot is reached the corner lap pleats are pinned to give the drapery a full finish. The retaining part 2 is then inserted so that the fingers 8 press the folds of the fabric against the fingers 3, and thus securely hold the fabric in its folded or lapped condition. The ornamental front of the part 2 gives a finished appearance.
By the use of my novel hangers, the average person can make the curtain look as attractive as though it had been put up by a professional decorator.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A drapery hanger, comprising a member hav ing upwardly and outwardly directed, spaced and parallel fingers forming superimposed slots into which the drapery is to be inserted, and a retaining member, having inwardly and downwardly directed spaced and parallel fingers of less width than the width of said slots, to enter said slots and bind the drapery therein.
ELIZABETH PEZZELLA.
