Description
Aug. 9, 1960 W. WISZUK v MAGNETIC CURTAIN AND DRAPERY RODS Filed May 18. 1959 1' 4 v 11'' Il I INVENTOR.
WALTER WISZUK I Bygqitgww United States 2,948,407 MAGNETIC CURTAIN AND DRAPERY RODS Walter Wiszuk, 209 E. 58th St., New York, N.Y. Filed May 18, 1959, Ser. No. 813,961 2 Claims. (Cl. 211-1053) adhere to a window frame or plate formed of magnetic material.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is an elevational view of a telescopic curtain rod embodying the invention, mounted on a window frame;
Fig. 2 is a perspective View of a portion of the rod of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is an elevational view similar to Fig. 1 of a fiat telescopic rod embodying the invention.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 4, of the rod per se.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view on an enlarged scale of a portion of the rod of Fig. 4.
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a portion of a magnetized bracket according to a further form of the-invention.
Fig. 8 is an elevational view similar to Figs. 1 and 4 showing the bracket of Fig. 7 in use.
Referring to Figs. 1-3, there is shown a rod 10 consisting of a first cylindrical section 12 telecopically disposed in a tubular outer section 14. At the ends of the sections 12 and 14 are secured cylindrical magnetized plugs 16. The plugs may be attached by screws such as shown at 18 in Figs. 2 and 3 extending through bores 20 in the plugs and engaged in end walls 19 in the several rod sections. Each plug has a fiat outer end wall 22 which can be fit flush against an inner side 24 of a permanent magnetic metal window frame 26 as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The heads 23 of screws 18 are seated in recesses 21 in the plugs.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 4-6, the
2,948,487 Patented Aug. 9, 1960 5 gral piece of permanent magnetized metal. Pedestal 49 has a cut-out 46 formed with a plurality of sections 48, 50, 52 of different widths. Section 48 is narrower than section 50 and both sections have spaced arcuate sides. Section 52 is rather narrow and deep with flat sides. It extends from the bottom of section 48. The cutout 46 extends from the upper edge 54 of the pedestal. The sections 48 and 50 are adapted to hold round rods of different diameters, and section 52 can hold a rather flat rod like the channel-shaped rod 30.
Fig. 8 shows a cylindrical rod 56 supported in two brackets 45 located between the outer ends of the rod and between the outer sides of window frame 26*. This window frame is not magnetic so two flat permanent magnetic plates 58 are attached to the frame by screws 60. The flat bases 47 of the brackets adhere readily to the plates. The rod 56 can easily be mounted on the pedestals 49 of the brackets. The rod rests in the sections of the cut-outs 46 in which it best fits. The use of the brackets 45 makes it possible to support a rod thereon which is longer than the window frame as shown in Fig. 8. If the window frame 26 is formed of permanent magnetic metal then the magnetic plates 58 will be omitted and the brackets can adhere to the window frame in a manner similar to plates 42 on side 44 as shown in Figs. 4-6.
While I have illustrated and described the perferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and that various changes and modifications may be made Within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United State Letters Patent 1. A curtain or drapery rod, comprising an elongated telescopic body removably mounted on a pair of supports, said supports being permanently magnetized members, adapted to be mounted on permanently magnetic plates; each of said members being a bracket having a flat base with a pedestal extending perpendicular thereto centrally thereof, said pedestal having a cut-out extending from the top edge thereof, said cut-out having a plurality of concentric sections of different widths and depths.
2. In a one-piece support for a curtain or drapery rod, a permanently magnetized bracket having a flat base, an integral flat pedestal extending perpendicular to said base centrally thereof, said pedestal having a cut-out extending from the top edge thereof, said cut-out having a plurality of sections of different widths, certain of said sections having spaced arcuate walls, said latter sections being concentrically arranged, and another of said sections being narrow and deep and furthest from said top edge.
