Claims.
This invention relates to a bracket or fixture of novel construction adapted to be secured :to 'a window casing or wall adjacent thetop thereof. The primaryobject of this inventlon'is to'provide a bracket or fixture including means "for simultaneously supporting and retaining a Vene tian blind .head rail, drape rods, and a valance. Another objectof this invention is to provide a bracket .or fixture which is relatively simple in design and construction, cheap to manufacture, extremely easy to secure orattach to :a window casing or wall, and attractive inxappearance.
A further object of this inventionis to provide a bracket or fixture which will make it unnecessary to provide separate brackets :for supporting a Venetian blind head rail, drape rods and a valance as is conventionally done at the present time.
These, together with various ancillary objects and features of the invention which will later become apparent as the following description proceeds, are attained by the device, a preferred em.- bodiment of which has been illustrated by way of example only in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair'o'fbrackets of one modification of'the present invention shown secured to a window casing and supporting the Venetian blind head rail, the drape rods, and the valance;
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken substantially on the plane of section line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of one of the brackets shown in Figures 1 and 2 and illustrating the manner in which it is attached to the window casing;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of another modification of the bracket of the instant invention shown secured to a window casing and supporting the Venetian blind head rail, the drape rods, and the valance;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the bracket itself, and
Figure 6 is a sectional view taken substantially in the plane of section line 66 of Figure 4.
Specific reference is now made to the drawings. In the several views in the accompanying drawings and in the following specification reference characters indicate corresponding elements throughout.
In the modification shown in Figures 1 to 3, there is indicated generally at ill a wall to which is secured a window casing 12 having an inner wall section l4 and an outer wall section Hi. The bracket or fixture is generally indicated at H! and as will be readily understood'two such brackets will be required for each window casing to properly support the head rail, the drape rods, and the valance.
In the description which follows hereinafter, only one fixture or bracket 18 will he described; it being understoodthat the other fixture or bracket is identical in construction and design to the one described. The bracket 18 consists of an L-shaped plate or member 20 having an innerleg portion '22, an outer leg portion 24 and a web portion '26 connecting the leg portions. The leg portionfl is positioned against the outer wall section lb of the casing l2 and is provided with a laterally vextending plate 28 positioned against :the inner wall section M of the casing. The plate 2-8 is apertured to receive a fastening means snchas 'screws'flfl', for securing the plate 28 to the casing wall '14.
Secured as by welding or riveting 32 to the plate 28 isan L-shaped or angle bracket 3'4-which igapertured as at '35 to receive a fastening pin 38 attaching the Venetianblind head rail 40 to the angle bracket-34.
An L-shaped bracket-"Alfie provided which has adepending-extension M which is secured as by welding or riveting 46 tothe web portion 28 of the fixture 18. The vertically extending leg portion 48 of'the L-shaped bracket 42 isprov'ided with spaced slotsor notches 50 for removably retaining drape rods -52.
The outer leg 24 of the fixture I8 is off-set as at 54 to provide an extension 56. Suitably secured to the inner surface of the leg 24 is a vertically extending plate 58 which is provided with a forwardly extending lateral projection 6|! at its bottom edge adapted to underlie the bottom edge of the extension 56 and to form therewith a channel 62 for slidably receiving a valance 64.
In the modification shown in Figures 4 to 6, the bracket is shown at 66 and is similar in general construction to the bracket I8 except that the laterally extending plate 28 is dispensed with so that the bracket is secured directly to the outer wall section It.
The bracket 66 is generally U-shaped and has an inner leg portion 68 and an outer leg portion 10 interconnected by a web portion i2. As shown clearly in the drawings, the leg portion 68 is seblind head rail 4!! which is secured to the bracket- 80 by means of suitable screws 82 depending through suitable apertures 84 in the bottom leg of the bracket 80.
A bracket 86 identical in construction and design to the L-shaped bracket 42 is riveted to the web portion 72 of the bracket 65 and is provided with the spaced slots or notches 88 for receiving and removably retaining the drape rods 52.
The outer leg of the bracket 66 is also off-set as at 90 to provide an extension 92. Suitably secured to the inner surface of the leg 70 is a vertically extending plate 94 which is provided with a forwardly extending lateral projection 96 at its bottom edge adapted to underlie the exten-- sion 92 and form therewith a channel 98 for slidably receiving a valance 64.
The fixtures or brackets l8 and 66 may be fab first-named means including fastening pins for securing said one leg to a window casing, said third-named means including an L-shaped plate,
- 3 an extension on one leg of said plate secured to ricated of any suitable material but preferably of a rigid metal that may be attractively painted as desired.
In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of the device will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
- It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described and the scope of the appended claims.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A supporting bracket comprising a U-shaped member, a lateral extension carried by one leg of said member and adapted to be secured to a window casing, means carried by said extension for supporting a Venetian blind head rail, means carried by the web portion of said U-shaped member for supporting drape rods, and means carried by the other leg of said U-shaped member for retaining a valance.
2. A supporting bracket comprising a U-shaped member, means for securing said member to a window casing, means carried by one leg of said member for supporting a Venetian blind head rail, means carried by the web portion of said U-shaped member for supporting drape rods, and means carried by the other leg of said U-shaped member for removably retaining a valance.
the web portion of said U-shaped member, and spaced notches in the other leg of said L-shaped member adapted to receive drape rods.
5. A supporting bracket comprising a U-shaped member, means for securing said member to a window casing, means carried by one leg of said member for supporting a Venetian blind head rail, means carried by the web portion of said U- REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
