SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,775, dated August 28, 1888.

Application filed April il), 1858. Serial No. QILlG. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that LTI-ioni as GORSUCII, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Gorsuch, in the county of Huntingdon and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tindow- ShadeBrackcts, and I do hereby declare the following` to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theacconipanying drawings, and to letters er ligures of reference marked thereon, which forni a part of this specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in adjustable window-shade brackets and lanibrcquin-holders, the object thereof being to provide an adjustable bracket for supporting window-shade rollers and lanibrequin supports or rods, so that the same device can be used in windows of different widths; and it consists in the construction and combination ofthe parts, which will be hereinafter fully set forth, and speciiicallypointcd out in the claim.

In the accompanying` drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing` iny improvement applied to a window. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view, and Fig. 3 a vertical section.

A refers lo the back piece of the bracket, provided at its ends with rectangular sockets B and B', to which are rigidly secured outwardly-projecting arms C C, provided with openings c and c', for the reception of the out wardly-projecting pins ol' the curtain-rol1er, and with openings d and d, for the reception of the pins of the curtain-rod, to which the lambrequin or lace curtain may be attached by means of suitable rings or fastening devices. The curtain-roller D and the lainbrequin or curtain rod Ill are each provided at their ends with circular sockets, so that they can be drawn outwardly and still support the hangings and curtains attached thereto, and when a spring curtain-roller is used the opening c will be in the form of a slot, and both the openings d and d may be in the form of slots, so that headed pins may be employed, which will prevent the rods becoming detached from the supports or brackets C C should the same become spread slightly.

The sockets of the rollers D may have a suit` able liuc of perforations, to which the rolling shade Inay be secured by tacks or other suitable fastening means.

The socket B, to which one of the brackets C is secured, has a thumb-screw for securing the saine rigidly to the support A, which lits in said socket when properly adjusted, and in practice the socket at the opposite end will be rigidly secured to the piece A..

The back piece, comprising the support A. and sockets B and B', is adapted to beattaelied to the window-frame by hooksff, which will securely hold thendcvice in position.

The hereinbefore-described device is coniparativel y simple and cheap vin construction, and is a great saving to tenants or parties nieving to residences having differentsized windows, and the variation of size is usually such as will permit this device to be used, whereas a small variation renders ordinary curtainrollers and corniceerods of no value.

I ain aware that window shade brackets have heretofore been constructed with a single central solid rod movable in end tubular sections held by brackets; with two flat bars extensibly movable one upon the other; with a forward roll mounted in the forward part of the end brackets and a rear upwardlyprojecting frame carrying a roll extending over the aforesaid roll; with a grooved center piece, into which the end pieces are adj ust-ably litted; with a central non adjustable spring roller having extensible rods in front and rear thereof, and with a bar or rod carrying the curtainroll brackets and sliding rack-bars operated by pinions to laterally extend the same. Such constructions I disclaim; but what I consider as new and hereinafter claim is a dat back piece consisting of adj ustahle hollow sections on a flat solid sectional support having bracketarms projecting outwardly from the ends thereof at right angles and carrying two adjustable rollers consisting of tubular outer sections mounted upon solid cylindrical inner sections.

Vhat I claim as new is- In a window-bracket, a back consisting of two Hab hollow sections, B and B', movably sections movably mounted on aninelosed solid mounted on an inelosed solid fiat supportiugbearingrod, substantially as described.
