A. R. TULLY. CANOPY TOP GURTAINPASTENING.
1%. 440,074. Patented Nov. 4, 1890.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ANDREYV R. TULLY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOHN H. EGGERS, OF SAME PLACE.
CANOPY-TOP-CU RTAIN FASTENING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 440,074, dated November 4, 1890. Application filed January 25, 1890. Serial No. 338,098. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANDREW R. TULLY, a resident of New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Canopy-Top-Ourtain Fastenings; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, 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.
My invention relates to an improvement in canopy-top-curtain fastenings.
The object of my invention is to provide a neat appearing and quite ornamental means of attachment, and a durable and economical one in which the parts that do show all add to the beauty and general appearance of the vehicle, and those which are less ornamental are hid from view and yet arranged where they are easily accessible.
A further object is to provide a fastening comprising few and simple parts, which are capable of easy and quick attachment and dctachment.
With these ends in view my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a rear elevation of a vehicle-top, showing my invention applied. Fig. 2 is a front elevation, a portion being broken away. Fig. 3 is a transverse section, and Fig. 4 is a detached view of the metal strap or valance.
A A represent hooks made, preferably, of thin narrow pieces of tough metal-such, for instance, as Chinese metal-and secured fast in recesses l 1, formed for them in the rear edge of the roof-rail 2 of the top by means of one or more nails or screws 3 3, inserted through holes formed for them. The hook end is turned inward and located just far enough below the roof-rail 2 to receive the staple or eyelets 4 4 on the edge of the curtain 5, by which the attachmentis effected. These hooks of course difier in number, according to the size of the curtain. Over the hooks a metal valance or strap 6 is secured, so that the hooks and staples are hidden from view at the rear and the joint formed between them is covered, so that any rain or water which might otherwise find its way in is excluded. A molding 7 is generally secured in place over the upper edge of the valance to give a finish to the top and also shed the water. The trimming 8 then, which is usually tacked on the rear edge of the roof-rail 2, I secure on the inner edge, thus placing it where it is out of the way and much more ornamental than before and at the same time where it will hide the hooks and eyes.
The curtain may be rolled up if desired, and for this purpose it is furnished with straps 9 9. These straps are secured to the edge of the curtain close to the staples or eyelets 4 4 and over the shanks of the latter, which by the way extend laterally in each direction for considerable distance, the object being to provide a rigid support for the curtain when rolled up, and thus prevent sagging at the upper edge, which would otherwise result. When the curtain is rolled up, the ends of the straps are passed around it and buckled together.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, with the rear roof-rail of a carriage-top and a metal valance secured to the rail, of hooks secured to the rear edge of said rail beneath the valance and projecting down to a point below the lower edge of the roof-rail and the valance, and a curtain having eyelets or staples by which it is removably secured on the hooks, and having straps secured over the shanks of the staples and adapted to pass around the curtain and have their ends secured together, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, with the rear roof-rail of a carriage-top and a metal valance secured to the rail, of hooks secured to the rear edge of said rail beneath the valance and projecting down to a point between the lower edges of the roof-rail and the valance, a molding secured outside of the valance,a trim- In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscrlbing witnesses.
ANDRE W R. TULLY.
Witnesses: their ends secured together, substantially as l P. M. HOUGH, set forth. V. E. HODGES.
