This invention relates to draperies, and more particularly to the provision of adjustable drapery rods by means of which windows and the like can be made to appear of different widths.
It is an object of the invention to provide an adjustable drapery rod having portions which can be easily slid back and forth to change the appearance of the width of a window, or to facilitate the cleaning of windows, blinds, and the like.
A further object is the provision of an adjustable drapery rod having a bracket which can be easily fastened to the outer edge of a window frame, and which has two members slidable relative to each, the control of the sliding of the members being by p-ulling on depending cords.
These and other objects are attained by the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which: Y
Fig. 1 is a top View showing a window equipped with drapery rods embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is an elevational view of the window with drapes.
Fig. 3 is a top view of a drapery rod embodying the invention.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 is a sectional View taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 1--1 of Fig. 5.
Fig. 8 is an elevational view of one end of a rod, showing an ornament.
Fig. 9 is a plan view of a spacer plate used in the device.
Fig. 10 is a View of another spacer plate employed.
Referring to the drawings, the drapery rod is shown to comprise a bracket I which is attached to a window frame by means of screws 2 or the like. On the inner side of the bracket is a spacer plate 3, (see Fig. 9) having bolt holes or openings 4 and a pair of holes to receive cords. On the outer side there is a similar spacer plate 9 having a pair of bolt holes and holes similar to holes 5 in plate 3 through which pass cords 1 and 8.
A male curtain rod member I e has a similar set of holes for bolts and the cords 'I and 8, and on the inside of the channel shaped member I0 is washer plate II', through which pass bolts I2, the bolts holding the spacer plate 3, bracket I plate 9, member I0, and plate I I, together tightly.
Sldable on the male member I0 is a female rod member I3, in one end of which is positioned a short channel Il to which is connected an ornament I5. The channel I4 and member I3 are attached to a clip It on the end of cord 8.
The slidable female member I3 is provided with a plurality of clips or eyelets I1 for supporting draperies.
In operation, to adjust the drapery rod, either of the cords 'I or E is pulled, to move the female member I3 in one direction or the other. For example, a pull on cord 1 will move the member I3 to the right (Fig. 3) and tend to close the window; while a pull on cord 8 will move the member I3 to the left and tend to make the Window appear larger.
It will be seen that there has been provided a simple and effective drapery rod, which can be easily mounted and tend to change the appearance of a window, and also facilitate cleaning of windows, blinds, etc.
The above description is to be considered as illustrative and not limitative of the invention,
of which modifications can be made without de' parting from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
The invention having been described, what is claimed:
1. In a drapery rod, a bracket, a channel male member mounted on the bracket, a first spacer plate provided with a pair of openings interposed between the bracket and the male member, a second spacer plate provided with a pair of openings abutting the inner side of said bracket and secured to the latter, a female member slidably mounted on the male member, and a pair of cords passing through openings in the male member and through the openings in said spacer plates and attached to the ends of the female member.
2. In a drapery rod, a bracket adapted to be atached to a window frame, a male member mounted on the bracket, a first spacer plate provided with a pair of openings secured to said bracket and interposed between the bracket and male member, a second spacer plate provided with a pair of openings abutting the inner side of said bracket and secured to the latter, a female member slidably mounted on said male member, and a pair of cords passing through the openings in said spacer plates and through openings in said male member, said cords being connected to opposite ends of the female member.
3. In a drapery rod, a bracket, a male guide member mounted on the bracket, a first spacer plate provided with a pair of openings secured to said bracket and interposed between said bracket and male member, a second spacer plate provided with a pair of openings abutting the inner side of said bracket and secured to the latter, a female member slidably mounted onthe male member, an ornament mounted in one end of the female member, and a pair of cords passing through openings in the male member and through the openings in said spacer plates, one of said cords being connected to the ornament and one end of the female member, and the other cord being connected to the other end of the female member.
4. In a drapery rod, a bracket, a male guide member mounted on the bracket,'a first spacer plate provided with a pair of openings secured to said bracket and interposed between said bracket and male member, a female member slidably mounted on the male member, an ornament mounted in one end of the female member, cords 4 passing through openings in the male member and through the openings in said spacer plates, one of the cords being attached to the ornament and one end of the female member, the other cord being attached to the other end of the female member, and eyelets on the female member adapted to support draperies.
