POLE TIP. I No. 349,525. PatentedSept; 21, 1886.-
UNITED t STATES PATENT GEEIOE.
SAMUEL E.. sOOTTEON, OE BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
POLE-TIP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,525, dated September 21,1886.
Application filed February 11, 1886. Serial No. 191,569. (No model.)
To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be itknown that I, SAMUEL R. SOOTTRON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPole-Tips, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to end ornaments for curtain-poles, or what are technically known as curtain-pole tips7 and it consists of a piece of metal or other suitable material, made ornamental by embossing or other process, adapted to cover or hide the end of the pole by belng retained in position at the side thereof. For this purpose the ornament is provided with a clamping-ring which embraces the pole, and is held thereon by the resilience of the ring, or by a screw passed through its free ends, thus adapting the ring to firmly clasp poles of diii'erent diameters, and securely hold the ornament in -position. This ornamental tip, by being adjustable on the ends of curtainpoles, obviates the necessity of making the poles of exact lengths to suit the width of windows, &c., as the end ofthe pole may be anywhere behind the ornament, so as to be hidden by it. The amount of adjustment is therefore determined by the length of the ornament.
' My invention also contemplates supporting the pole by means of these end ornaments or t1ps,-which I accomplish by bending out the ends of the clamping-rings, and forming holes through them, so as to set the same over hooks or upwardly-projecting points or brackets secured to the frame or wall.
To describe my invention more particularly, I will now refer to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a front View of my improved curtain-pole ornament or tip. Fig. 2 is an end vlew showing the clamping device as an open spring-ring. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the clamping device or ring provided with a tightening screw. Fig. 4 is an end view showing the open ring adapted to act as a supportor the pole, and Fig. 5 is a plan view-of In all the figures of the drawings, a repre,-V
sents a plain cylindrical curtain-pole,andb the ornamental end or tip, which may be made of any metal or other suitable material, carved, embossed, or igured in any desired manner. One end of the ornament b is provided with a clamping-ring, either forming a part thereof or connected thereto,which admits of thelongitudnal and angular adjustment of the tip on the pole. In Figure l this clamping-ring is simply an open elastic ring, c, which by its resilience embraces the pole a withsuiiicient grip to retain the ornamentb in position, so as to cover or hide the end of the pole a. It `is adapted to embrace poles of different sizes, thus avoiding the necessity of making the tips -specially for each siz`e of pole, and is free to slide longitudinally on the pole, thus providing for adjustment as to length of completed pole, and saving the trouble of tting the poles to suit specialcases.
In some cases,where the ornament bis made of heavy material, it may be desirable to provide for more gripping or holding power than would be due to the open springring. I then propose to form bent ends c c on the ring c, and clamp them together by means of the screw d, which turns freely in 011e of the bent ends and works in a tapped hole in the other one. This form also has adj ustability as to gripping poles of different sizes, and as to the longit udinal position of the tip on the pole.
An end ornament or pole tip made according to this invention may beutilized to support the pole by setting the bent ends c c of the ring c over a hook or upwardly-projecting pin or stud of a bracket. In Figs. 4 and 5 a cornice-hook, e, is represented, the end e of which passes through the holes formed in the bent ends c c'of the ring c. This end e is bent backward slightly from the vertical to provide for more securely holding the ring c, and the pole a resting therein,with its paraphernalia, it being observed that by this arrangement and form of supporting-hook the greater the weight of the pole, Src., the more securely will the pole-tips be retained on the hooks.
End ornaments have heretofore been connected to poles or cornices, so as to be capable of occupying different positions thereon. English Patent No. 8,471 of 1840 shows such devices. This I do not broadly claim.
Having now described my invention, what I IOC 3. In combination, a curtain-pole, pole-tips, r 5 each composed of a side ornament, and an adjustable clamping-ring having perforated bent ends, and supporting devices each provided with an inclined projecting pin or stud which passes through the bent ends of a elainping- 2o ring.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, this 29th day of January, 1886.
