CUR' TTTTTTTTTT E.
No. 337,043. Patented Mar. 2, 1886.
UNITED STATES PATENT OEErcE.
'GEORGE HENRY BAKER, OF MORENOI, MICHIGAN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,043, dated March 2, 1886.
Application led November 13, 1885. Serial No. 182,737. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE HENRY BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Morenci, in the county of Lenawee and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Curtain-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to an improvement in curtain-fixtures; and it consists in the peculiar construction of the devices that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a curtain provided with my improved xtures. Figs. 2 and 3 are detailed perspective views of the fixtures.
A represents the curtain-rod, having a reel, B, at one end, both ends ofthe rod being provided With projecting bearingspindles C.
D represents the lixture or bracket for the right end of the curtain-rod. This bracket is formed from a single piece of wire, which is bent in the form shown in Fig. 2, and provided with the projecting threaded shank d, to secure the bracket to the window casing, the outwardly-extending arm d, having the open bearing d2, and the depending brace-arm d3, having the eye d4 at its lower end. The brace-arm bears vertically against the windowcasing, and thus serves to support the bracket, and stiffens the outwardly extending arm thereof, and prevents it from bending under the weight and strain of the curtain-roller. This construction is also advantageous, in that only one shank is required to enter the window-casing in order to secure the bracket thereto, which admits of the bracket being very readily and quickly applied to a window-frame or removed therefrom, and renders the bracket further extremely cheap and simple. The bracket E, which is shown at Fig. 3, is likewise made from a single piece of wire, and consists of the projecting threaded shank 4e, the outwardly-extending arm e', having the closed bearing e2, and the depending angular brace or arm e3. One of the spindles of the curtain-rod is journaled in the closed bearing e, and the other spindle is journaled in the open bearing d2. The upper end of the curtain is secured to the curtain-rod, and secured to and wound on the reel of the latter is a cord, F, which passes through the eye d* and has a weight, G, attached to its depending end. This weight just counterbalances the curtain. When the weight is lowered to unreel the cord, the curtain is rolled up ou the rod, and when the curtain is lowered the cord is wound and the weight raised. As the Weight is a counter-balance forthe curtain, it follows that the latter will remain at any point desired when raised or lowered.
No claim is made herein to the curtain hav ing the counterbalancing cord and weight, as this I am aware is not broadly new.
The eye d4, with which the bracket D is provided, serves as afriction-brake on the cord.
I disclaim a curtain-bracket formed of a single piece of wire, as this, I am aware, is not broadly novel; neither do I claim, broadly, a curtain-bracket having an eye for the counterbalancing-weight cord.
Having thus described my invention, I claim*- 1. The curtain-bracket made of a single piece of wire bent to form the arm, having the extended shank at its rear end to secure the bracket to the window-casing, the bearing at the outer end of the arm to receive the spindle of the roller, and the brace-arm bearing vertically against the casing, to stiften the bearingarm and support the bracket, substantially as described.
2. The curtain-bracket D, made of a single piece of wire bent to form the arm d', having the extended shank d to enter the windowframe and secure the bracket thereto, the bearing d2 for the spindle of the curtain-roller, and the depending brace-arm d3, bearing vertically against the window-frame, to support and stiften the arm d', the said arm d3 having the eye d* formed at its lower end, for the purpose set forth, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE HENRY BAKER.

WM. W. COLE, HARRY ARMsTRoNe.
