Description
Dec. 11, 1951 .J. J. SENOGLES CURTAIN GUARD Filed April 10, 1950 INVENTOR. Q/Z/WJ flat 0615.5
Jaw-22g Patented Dec. 11, 1951 CURTAIN GUARD I john Senogles, Iios Angeles, Calif... I ApplicatioriApr-illfl, 1950,S erial No. 154,950 I mat- 1 (o1. ism-its) z A This invention relates to and has for an object the provision of an improved curtain guard of simple form, economical construction and readily adaptable to roller shades for windows so as to prevent snagging of the lower curtain corners in the tie-backs of usual window curtains or drapes when the shades are lowered.
It is well known that conventional window shades have wooden stiifening slats held in seams at the lower edges thereof which as the shades are lowered generally catch on the looped tiebacks which hold the window curtains at opposite sides of a window, and thereby are not only a cause of inconvenience but frequent lowering of the shade causes wear on the tie-backs and occasional mending or pressing in order to afiord neatness and sightliness of the window dressings.
An object is, therefore, to provide a simple onepiece guard formed of metal, wood or plastic material and having an arm curved inwardly from a lateral edge and rearwardly from the front side of a shade so that as the shade is lowered the lower corner of the shade will be guided toward the window glass and will be incapable of hooking onto the curtain tie-backs.
Other objects may appear as the description of my improvements progresses.
I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention in the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of a curtained window having a roller shade equipped with my curtain guard;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view of a roller shade bearing my improved guard; and
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the detached guard of approximately full size.
As shown in Fig. 1, a window W is dressed with a pair of similar curtains or drapes C, C suspended from a cornice r lintel I and are held toward the sides of the window by tie-backs T, T secured at their ends to the window frame and having central loops 2, 2 extended around the curtains at corresponding points between the top and bottom of the window. Frequently a roller shade S is extensibly and retractibly mounted on a roller 3 adjacent cornice I so that the shade may be suspended in a vertical plane between the window and curtains C, C, whereby it may be raised and lowered at will as by means of a pull cord 4.
The lower end of the shade is formed with a seam 5 which is open at its opposite ends to receive a thin wooden slat 5' for stiffening the dematerial and are similarly mounted at opposite lower corners of the shade S. Said guards may have slightly elongated upper sections 6, 6 with perforations l, l therein through which brads or screws may be inserted for attachment to slat 5'. Arms 8, 8 are formed integral with portions 6, 6 and are curved rearwardly toward the window beneath shade S and also inwardly from opposite lateral edges of the shade so that when the shade is lowered to a point where the lower corners of the shade would ordinarily snag or catch onto the loops 2, 2 of the tie-backs T, T, they will freely slide over said loops and permit continued lowering of the shade to a desired extent.
Guards G may be colored to correspond to or contrast to the color of the shade S and curtains C, C, ornamented suitably or otherwise formed or arranged so as not to detract from the decor of a window but in fact augment the decorative effect while still providing a useful function.
It is apparent, therefore, that I have shown and described a nove1 and convenient curtain guard embodying the structural characteristics herein mentioned and which because of its simplicity, effectiveness for the purpose described is readily applicable to roller shades of various size at minimum cost.
I claim:
1. A curtain guard attachable to a roller shade for windows comprising: a body having an arm curved. inwardly from a lateral edge of a shade when attached to a lower corner of said shade and also curved under and rearwardly of the shade to prevent interference of side curtains with the shade as it is lowered to window closing position. i
2. A curtain guard for windows comprising: an integral body having an arm adapted to be secured to a lower corner of a roller shade in a window opening, said arm being curved inwardly from a lateral edge of said shade, for preventing interference with window curtains as the shade is lowered.
3. A curtain guard attachable to a roller shade for windows comprising: a body having an arm curved inwardly from a lateral edge of a shade when attached to a lower corner of said shade and also curved under and rearwardly of the shade to prevent inteference of side curtains with the shade as it is lowered to window closing position, said guard being of substantially flat cross section.
4. A curtain guard for windows comprising: an integral body having an arm adapted to be secured to a lower corner of a roller shade in a 3 window opening, said arm being curved inwardly from a lateral edge of said shade, for preventing interference with window curtains as the shade is lowered, said guard being of substantially fiat cross section.
5. A curtain guard attachable to a roller shade for windows comprising: a body having an arm curved inwardly from a lateral edge of a shade when attached to a lower corner of said shade and also curved under and rearwardly of the shade to prevent interference of side curtains with the shade as it is lowered to window closing position, said guard being of substantially flat cross section and having an attaching portion paralleling a margin of said shade.
6. A curtain guard for windows comprising: an integral body having an arm adapted to be secured to a lower corner of a roller shade in a window opening, said arm being curved inwardly under a lateral edge of said shade, for preventing interference with window curtains as the shade is lowered, said guard being of substantially flat cross section and having an attaching portion joined to said arm at the lower edge of the shade and adapted to overlie the front surface of and for attachment to said shade.
