1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to improvements in combined curtain and shade fixtures.
The principal object of this invention is to provide a fixture which may be attached to the top of the window frame, in contradistinction to the customary front of the window frame.
A further object is to produce a device of this character which is adjustable to take care of shade rollers of various lengths within the capacity of the device.
A further object is to produce a device which is economical to manufacture, one which is pleasing in appearance, and one which is simple to install.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred form of my device as the same would be applied to a window frame,
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of my device and positioned on the window and on a reduced scale,
Fig. 3 is a top-plan view of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4: is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing a modified form of my device.
In positioning a shade roller and drapes adjacent the window opening, it has been customary to secure to the face of the window frame a plate having outwardly and upwardly-extending members over which the curtain rod is hooked. In securing the plate, it has been customary to use nails or screws and to place the plate adjacent the upper corner of the frame. the result being that, as the frame is usually formed by a mitered joint, the nails or screws would cause the ends of the frame to split, presenting an unsightly appearance and also weakening the securing feature, and to support the shade roller, an individual fixture has been employed which also has had to be secured to the window frame by nails or screws.
Applicant has devised a combined curtain and shade roller fixture which may be secured to the window without danger of splitting of the frame and also enabling adjustment of the shade roller portion toward or away from the curtain rod supporting portion so as to accommodate for various lengths of shade rollers.
Referring to the accompanying drawings wherein, for the purpose of illustration, is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates the top portion of the window frame and the numeral 6 one of the sides of the frame which have top and side surfaces, as shown at A and B respectively.
My fixture comprises a strip 1, bent as at 8 and having a downwardly-extending portion 9, which carries an upstanding finger II. This strip is preferably secured to the surfaces A and B1; la; by screws or nails, the screws being shown a The strip 1, is corrugated, as shown at l3, so as to slidably and adjustably position a shade roller bracket M, which is bent outwardly from a strip l6, bent at right angles, as shown at IT, and provided with a corrugated portion l8, overlying the corrugations l3, and having its free end bent under the strip 1, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. l.
A securing screw I9, may be used, if desired, to prevent any possible slippage after adjustment.
In the modified form shown in Fig. 4, the constructions are identical, the only difference being that the strip 2|, is secured to the front of the window frame and has an outstanding portion 22, to which the curtain rod may be attached.
The shade roller bracket, designated, as a whole by the numeral 23, is also provided with corrugations which engage corrugations formed in the strip 2|, similar to that described for the preferred form shown in Fig. 1. a
It will thus be apparent that my fixture may be readily attached to a window and the shade roller bracket can be quickly adjusted to accommodate for the particular length of roller beingused.
It is to be understood that the form of my in-- vention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferredexample of the same, and that various changes relative to the material, size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
A combined curtain and rod holder including a flat strip having corrugations formed substantially midway of its length and adapted to be secured to the top edge of a window frame, said strip having downwardly bent end, engaging the side of the window frame, said downwardly bent end having an upstanding finger protruding beyond the front plane of the window frame, therefrom a rod holder and a second strip having corrugations formed therein and bent upon itself 3 4 to engage the top and bottom of said first men- UNITED STATES PATENTS tioned strip, the corrugations of said second Number Name Date mentioned strip engaging the corrugations of 1,344,298 Fields June 22, 1920 first mentioned strip, and a shade bracket car- 1,501,843 Dumen et a1 July 15, 1924 ried by said second mentioned strip. 5 1,607,792 Lanham Nov. 23, 1926 KRISTEN JENSEN- 2,253,584 Robinson Aug. 26, 1941 REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the
