CHARLES A. WILLIAMS, OF WARREN, INDIANA.
HANGER FOR WIN DOW-CURTAINS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,329, dated August 21, 1888.
Application filed April 16, 1888. Serial No. 270,803. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES A. WILLIAMS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Warren, in the county of Huntington and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hangers for Window-Curtains; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure l is a perspective top view of my improved device for hanging window-curtains. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, seen from the under side. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the corner of the hanger-frame detached from the wall or window-casing to which it is affixed; and Fig. 4 is a cross-section on line as m, Fig. 2.
Like letters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several figures.
My invention has relation to devices for hanging window-curtains, shade rollers,Venetian blinds, &c., in suchamanner that they may be readily placed in position and again taken down whenever desired with little trouble and labor, and has also for its object to provide means for opening or closing the curtains or shades and for protecting the same at their point of attachment to the fastening from dust or dirt.
To this end myinvention consists in the improved hanging frame or device, which will be hereinafter more'fully described and claimed.
Reference being had to the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the back board, upon which the hanger-frame (shown at B) is secured removably, and which is itself permanently secured to the wall or windowcasing above the window. This back board is provided with a central screw-eye, O, and a little lower down and on opposite sides with two screw-eyes or staples, D D, setin horizon tal planes, while the central upper screw-eye, G, is preferably set in a vertical plane or at right angles to the two eyes D and D. These three eyes or staples D, O, and D form the means of attachment forthe removable ha ngerframe, which I shall now proceed to describe. This frame is in the nature of an ornamental cornice, consisting of the front piece, B, and two side pieces, B B. the side pieces, B, are provided with downwardly-projecting pins E, adapted to engage the screw-eyes D, which project from the permanent back board. Upon the middle part of the front piece, B, is pivoted a hook or similar fastening device, F, adapted in like manner to engage and interlock with the central project ing screw-eye, 0. Thus it will be seen that by these means the cornice-frame may readily be secured upon the buck board, A, in a moment of time, and again as readily removed, without the use of nails, screws, or other means of fastening.
The curtain-rod G has a hook, H, at one end, by means of which it is fastened in an eye, I, projectinginwardly from one of the side pieces B while its other straight end is inserted into an aperture or recess, J, bored in the side piece B opposite. To prevent rod G from becoming accidentally unhooked, a small screw, K, is inserted into the back part of the front piece, B, just about the hooked end of the rod; but by giving this screw a few turns with a screwdriver, so as to drive it farther into the wood of the frame and cause it to clear rod G, the latter may readily be unhooked and withdrawn from the frame.
The curtains are fastened upon rod G by means of rings or slides L in the usual manner,
At their inner ends one pair of curtains being hung upon the rod and each curtain being provided with a cord, M, which is inserted through a small screweye, N, on the opposite side of the frame, so that by pulling these cords the curtains may be drawn together or separated at will in the well-understood manner.
By making the detachable corniceframo B B B of sufficient size it may be adapted not only as a support for the curtains, but also as a support for the window-shade rollers, Venetian blinds, lambrequins, and other appurtenances, all of which are secured thereto in the usual manner and may be taken down together and instantly simply by unhooking the frame from the back board to which it is attached.
Having thus described my invention, I desire to secure and claim by Letters Patent ofl tiallyin the manner and forthe purpose herein to the United States shown and set forth.
