H. FARLBY. GURTAIN SUPPORT.
No. 453,631. Patented June 9,1891.
Nnesses; aamywk support applied thereto.
UNITED STATES IPATENT" OFFICE.
HUGH FARLEY, QF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
SPECIFICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No. 453,631, dated J une `9, 1891.
` Application led June 3, 1890. Serial No. 354,(l92. (No model.)
To all whom it may'concern:
Be it' known that I, IIUGH FARLEY, of the .,city'and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Curtain-Supports, ot' which the following is a speciiication.
My invention relates to cin'tain-supports; and it consists of certain improvements, which are fully set forth in the following specification and shownv in' the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof.
The object of my invention is to construct a curtain-support which may be adjusted so as to suit windows or doors of diierent sizes without the necessity of measuring' and cut ting the stick l'or support, and one which, while possessing` this adjustable or extensible feature, shall be inexpensive to manufacture and not liable to get ont of order or lose-.its adjustment.
My invention also relates to the means for supporting the adjustable or extensible ourtain-rod in the Window or door.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of awindow having my improved curtain- Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View of the curtain-rods and curtain through the lino c of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved curtain-rod. Fig. 4 is aisideelevation of the curtain-rod, illustratinga modification of my invention, having part shown in section; and Fig. 5 is a plan view of a modiiied'form iof the bracket for supporting the rod, with the Window-frame and rod in section.
A is the frame ot' the window or door.l B is the curtain.
The curtain-rod consists of the parts C and D, which are extensible with reference to each other to lengthen or shorten the rod as an entirety. One of these rods is hollow ortubw,
lar and adapted to receive the other; The inner portion D may be moved within the hollow or tubular portion C to any extent desired to suit the particular window or door to which the support is to be attached.
E is a spring carried by the end of the inner rod D, which presses against the inner tubular' surface of the hollow rod C for the purpose of holding the rods in the positions in which they have been adjusted andto prevent accidental collapsing ot the curtain-rods.
It will be seen that the tension of t-he spring may be made as great as desired, so that when the rods have been adjusted there will be no possibility that they shall become accidentally displaced. I prefer to employ a double spring, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, pressing upon opi posite sides of the inner surface of `the tube C. In Fig.'3`b'oth' of these rods C and D are shown formed ot-hollow tubes, the rod D being provided at its inner end with a plug F to vcarry Y the spring E, while in Fig. 4 the rdd Dis shown formed of a solid piece of wood or metal.
j I do not limit myself tothe tubular form shown, as it is apparent that the particular form of the rods C and Dmaybe varied withl ont in any,r way departing from the principles of my invention, one of therods being pro vided wit-h a recess or opening in which the other rod is adapted to move, and the inner Willgbe apparent that a curtain-support of tlr'rs construction may be placed in position in a window or door with great ease. The supports G are screwed or otherwise attached to the frame in proper position, and the curtain-support with the curtain placed upon it is slightly collapsed beyond the normal adjustment, and one end is fitted over the projection of the support 'G and the other end brought in line with the projection ot the other support, and is then extended so as to t over the projection. Therod is then in place, and the spring E holds the two parts fixed with reference to each other and prevents any accidental collapsing. To remove the support it is necessary simply to collapse the rods sufiiciently. to withdraw one of the ends from the projection of the support G.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new,-and desire to secure by Letters Patent,.is
IOO
l. In a curtain-rod, the combination of two workings,` within the interior olf the rod of large'r diameter to create a friction between said rods andv maintain them in position, and large shouldered bearings fitting within the @nds ol' the-tubes and secured to thix Framework olf the window or sash.
'3. In a curtain-rod, the combination olf two rod-sections, onesliding within the other for extensibility, and a spring; carried by one of said rod-sections and actingF upon the adjacent lnoe ot the other seo-tion to create a friution between the parts, whereby one see-tion has an unlimited extensibility upon theother,
and the spring, while permitting' said ext-ension, will normally hold said/sections together. In testimony oi. whivh invention I have' hereunto set my hand.
