REMOVABLE SASH SHADE-BRACKET Filed 001;. 4, 1946 A Ila rneys Patented May 1, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,551,264 REMOVABLE SASH SHADE BRACKET Hans A. Hammerich, North Hackensack, N. J.

. Application October 4, 1946, Serial No. 701,341

1 Claim. 1

This invention appertains to shade brackets, the principal object being to provide an upper sash carried bracket, whereby the upper sash can be opened, thus allowing for the sash roll tobe under the opening, thus affording privacy and a more complete ventilation of a room than is now possible with window frame carried shades.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a sash carried shade bracket which can be readily removed from the sash in the event it is desired that the sashes be made to pass each other.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a removable shade bracket for window sashes which can be readily removed whenever it becomes necessary to clean the same or the window panes of the sash or sashes, or when it is desired to do paint work on the sashes and complemental window frame.

These and various other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following description.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a front elevational view of one of the brackets.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary detailed sectional view taken on line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary side elevational view and partial section of the bracket shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary outside elevational view of the bracket shown in Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary elevational view of the head of the slotted bracket.

Figure 6 is an elevational View of the socket plate.

Referring to the drawing, numeral 5 denotes an upper window sash and numeral 6 generally refers to one of a pair of brackets which is removably secured to the upper portion of said sash.

Figure 7 shows a bracket generally referred to by numeral 1 and which is complemental to the bracket 6, this bracket 1 having a head 8, cupped inwardly as at 9 and this cupped portion has a vertical slot ll! therein from which and obliquely extends an upwardly formed a slot ll, through which the usual shade rod spring lug is insertable.

The bracket 6 has a head l2, cupped inwardly as at l3 and this portion is formed with an opening it for receiving the usual fixed round shade roll pintle.

The arms of each of these brackets is constructed the same, there being a neck portion [5 curved outwardly as shown in Figure 2 and then on a long curve as at l6 to merge with a foot I! which is complemental toa socket plate generally referred to by numeral IS. The socket plate I8 is of general U-shape, having the legs [9, l9, laterally from which apertured bosses 20 project and through which nails are disposed and driven into the sash for securing said socket plate in definite position. The legs l9, l9 are connected as at 2| and projecting inwardly from the portion 2! as well as the legs l9, [9 are overhanging flanges 22, under which the foot I! of either one of the brackets 6, l is disposable. The edge portions of the foot ll engage under the flanges 22, the foot snugly fitting between the flanges and the sash 5.

To strengthen the brackets, the brackets preferably are channeled, as clearly shown in Figures 2 and 4.

In the use of the brackets above described, it is to be understood, that the socket plates I8 are secured in place at the upper corners of the upper sash 5 with the open edge portions of the same in opposed relation, so that the portions 2| of the socket plates act as backings for the foot portion 11 of the brackets 6, 1.

When the brackets have been properly set in the socket plates I8, the round pintle of the shade roll is inserted intothe opening it of the bracket 6, after which the spring lug at the other end of the shade roll is dropped down the slot ll until it seats in the slot ll] of the head 8 of the bracket 1.

The shade can now be pulled down to the desired extent and clear to the sill if privacy is desired. With this privacy, ventilation can also be secured, because the upper sash can be lowered, carrying with it the shade and roll and allowing for a much better ventilation of the room than is possible by means of window frame supported shade rolls.

In the event it is desired to pass the lower sash above the top sash, with the top sash lowered, this is accomplished by simply removing the shade roll and the brackets 6, 1 from their socket plates l8.

While the foregoing description sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and material may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A shade bracket comprising a socket plate formed of a single piece of sheet metal and having a base, a pair of parallel legs each formed integrally with one end of said base and a countersunk apertured ear formed centrally on the outer side of each leg, said legs and said base being provided with inwardly directed flanges together forming a socket, and an arm formed of a single piece of sheet metal and having a shade roll supporting means at one end and a foot plate at the other end, said foot plate being receivable in said socket.
