CURTAIN-BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 255,773, dated April 4, 1882. Application filed August 8, 1881. (No model.)

upon the curtain-roller; second, to so arrange l the arms that they will slide parallel with each other, causing' such an extension or contraction of the lengthvof the bracket as the width of the curtain requires; third, to fasten themthat is, the arms-at any point desired; fourth,

to solarrange holes for thereception of the roller-spindles that it would render it impossible for the roller to spring out. To attain these objects I propose to use the following mechanism, as shown in the drawings.

Figure l is a center or head piece, A, made of wood or metal; Fig. 2, the arms B and O, made of wood or metal, Fig. 3, a side view ot' the center or head piece, A, showing the slot D and thumb-.screw E. Fig. 4 shows front view of bracket when complete.

Similar letters referto similar parts throughout the several views represented in the drawings hereunto attached.

Heretot'ore brackets have been fastened to the casing at each end ot' the curtain-roller, from which fact many difficulties are encoun. tered, such as having the molding upon the casing come just where the brackets need to be placed; also, ot' having them true and level with each other, so as to avoid friction, and allow the curtain to roll up easy and true. Another source ot' trouble arising from the nature of all brackets now in use is the open slot at one end allowing the spindle to spring out. This invention obviates all these difculties, besides having the additional advantage of extension or contraction, as can. be seen by referring to the drawings, therebyr adapting itself' to different widths of curtains. The

arms may be fastened at any point desired by the thumb-screw E. The bracket may be used either side, so that the thumb-screw E will be upon the top or bottom, as convenience may demand. The peculiar shaped zhole in arm B adapts itselt' to the ilattened spindle upon spring-rollers as well as round ones upon all rollers.

Mode oi' operating: Put the head-piece A with the arms B and C, already introduced, into the slot D upon the point 011 the casing desired, and introduce the screw F at the top, or, if desired to use the other side up, put the 'screwF in the bottom. When fastened, loosen thumb-screw E, extend or contract arms B and C sufliciently to insert roller. When the arms B and G close upon the spindles fasten arms B and U with thumb-screw E, and put screws in H and I.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

The adjustable shade-roller support herein described, consisting of the single supportingblock adapted to be secured to the casing, and the lapping arms adjustably supported and held in or upon said block and having at their outwardly-turned ends means for supporting the roller, substantially as described.
