W'ILLIAM G. HAMNETT, OF TOLEDO, OHIO.
ADJUSTABLE WINDOW CORNlCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 270,425, dated January 9, 188
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. HAMNETT, of Toledo,in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Adjustable Window-Cornice, of which the following is a lull, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved window-cornice which can be adjusted to fit windows of any size, and also niches or bay-windows.
The invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement ofthe parts, asherematter more fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l is a plan view of two of my improved window-corniees, showing one adjusted for a bay-window and the other foran ordinary window. Fig.2 is an enlarged detail crosssectional elevation of the cornice. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail cross-sectional elevation of the 4 25 joint. Fig. 4 is an innerelevation of a part of Fig. 5 is a perspective view of,
the cornice. the fixed center piece and a movable slide-piece, showing them detached. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the check-clip.
Two slides, B, slide in a center piece, A, and proiect from the ends of the same, and to the outer ends of the slides 8 slides of another cornice or end wings, D, are hinged. The back of the fixed center piece, A, is provided with a longitudinal groove, E, having longitudinal tongues a in the top and bottom, and below the groove E a parallel groove, F, is formed in the rear surface of the center piece, A. The slides 13 arerach provided at the inner ends with a longitudinal recess or slot, G, which forms two parallel tongues, G G of which the former is adapted to pass into the groove 1*) and the latter into the groove F. The tongue G is provided in its top and bottom with longitudinal grooves b, adapted to receive the tongues a. Screws H pass through the top of the center piece, A, and bind the slides B in place by pressing in the upper edges of the same. The'outer ends of the slides B and the inner ends of the end ings, D, are provided with vertical concave grooves adapted to fit against spools J, placed between the meeting Application filed September 2,1882. (N0 model.)
ends of the said slides or slides and end wings. Apertured clips 61, secured to the upper and lower edges of the slides B and the end wings, D, rest on the ends of the spools 'J. A rod, K, of which one passes vertically through each of the spools J, passes through the apertures in the free ends of the clips d, and ornamental nuts L are secured on the top and bottom projecting ends of the rods K. The
free ends of the end wings, D, are either bev eled or cut off at right angles, as the circumstances may require. held at the desired inclination to the slides B by means of stop-clips M, which have curved ends,which rest against the spools J, as shown, and can also, if desired, be secured to the spools, thus preventing the end wings from swinging out of place. If two slides B are hinged together, they are held at the desired inclination in the same manner. The center piece, A, is held and supported from the window-casing by means of hooks g or any other devices.
The corniceis adjusted asfollows: The slides B are drawn out ofthe center piece, A, until the cornice has the desired length, and are then looked in place by means of the screws H. The wings D are then adjusted in the proper position, and are locked in place by means of check-clips'M. The curtains can easily be attached to the lower edge of the cornice. It the cornice is to be secured in a bay-window or niche, as shown in Fig. 1, the outer ends of the inner slides of the side window cornices must be pivoted to the outer ends of the slides of the middle window cornice. The outerends of the outer slides of the side window cornices are then provided with wings D, which have their outer ends beveled, as shown in Fig. 1. The slides and end wings are then looked at the desired inclination to each other by means of the check-clips M; but other devices may be used for the same purpose, if desired. The double groove and slot keeps the face of the slide from rubbing against the back of the center piece when the slides are drawn in or out. I leave space for that reason, and also make the space F broader than the tongues G so as not to mar the lower edges of the slides.
Having thus fully describedmy'invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The end Wings,D, are
substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a window-cornice, the check-clips M, having one end curved, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
4. In a window-cornice, the combination, with the hinged parts of the same,of the hinge spools J and the check-clips M, having one end rounded to lit against the hinge-spool J,
substantially as herein shown and described, 20
and for the purpose set forth.
