FRANK FURNESS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
DEVICE FOR HOLDING THE CURTAINS OF CAR-WINDOWS.
' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,535, dated March 25, 1884.
Application filed December 6. 1883; (N0 model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it knownthat I, FRANK FURNEss,of the city and county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Holding the Curtains of Oar-Windows, &c.
The following is a specification of my improvements, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure l is a view infront elevation of a car-window to the curtain of which my improvements are applied. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section,,on an enlarged scale, of the same, on a line through the bottom strip of the curtain. Fig. 3 is a similar cross-section, showing a modification of the window-moldings by means of which the device is operated.
In the construction of railwaycars, especially where the windows are fitted with double sashes, theuse of curtains instead of the slattedshade blinds formerly employed is largely increasing. The chief drawback, however, to such use lies in the tendency of the curtain to flap violently about when the window is raised and the curtain down, which flapping is disagreeable to the occupant of the seat, and destructive to the curtain itself. Furthermore, when spring or balanced rollers are used for supporting the curtain, the jarring causes it to slip upward by releasing the springs.
It is the object of my invention to avoid these objections by providing a means for readily and efficiently holding the curtain against flapping, and also against rising through sudden jars, &c., the device requiring but little change in the ordinary construction of the curtain and of the window-frame, and when applied being easily managed by the passenger.
In the drawings, A represents the sash of an ordinary car-window, andD the interior sash-bead of the same. .13 is the curtain, hung;
preferably, upon a spring-roller, E, and having at its lower end a weighted strip, 0, usually of metal. To the slightly-projecting ends of this strip 0, I secure, by means of rivets or screws (1, convex pads c, of vulcanized rubber or similar durable and elastic material, the length of the strip, with the end pads attached, being somewhat greater-say by a half inch-than the distance between the opposite sash-beads D D. In the adjacent faces of these heads I form vertical grooves a, conforming in section to the shape of the pads c, and sufficicntly deep to hold them the pads a will jam in the grooves, and thus enable the friction catches of the roller to again take hold. To free the curtain, the strip should be pushed lengthwise with sufficient force to compress the pad at one end,-when the other one can be readily sprung out.
If desired, an additional molding, D, hav
ing a similar groove, a, may be secured to the window-frame, (as shown in Fig. 3,) in which case the curtain-strip may be made longer than the width of the window, the other elements of my device remaining the same and operating in the same manner as before.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination of the window curtain and the grooved beads arranged on each side thereof with the strip 0, having elastic end pads, the length of said strip and pads being greater than the distance between said beads, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
