CURTAIN SHADE HOLDER.
ii TED f STATES PATENT QFFICE.
CHARLES E. DODD, OF WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGN OR TO GEORGE STIGER, OF SAME PLACE.
CURTAlN-SHADE HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 487,211, dated November 29, 1892.
Application filed August 22, 1891. Seiial No. 403,445. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
l 3e it known that I, CHARLES E. DODD, of Williamsport, in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain- Shade Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improvement in curtain-shade holders, the object being to provide a simple and inexpensive device for the support of curtain-roller brackets; and it consists in a strip or bar of Wood or metal provided at its ends with recesses to receive the brackets, in combination with sliding collars or hands constructed to slide over the recesses and embrace the ends or shanks of the brackets inserted therein.
It further consists in an extensible strip or bar, in combination with these other accessories herein named to enable the strip to be adjusted to any-sized window.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective of my improved curtainshade holder. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through one end of the holder. Fig. 3 is an elevation of one end, and Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are modifications.
A represents the strip or bar to which the roller-brackets are attached. This strip is preferably extensible, consisting of two seotions fitted together, as shown in Fig. 1, and provided with bands 1 1, one of which is secured to each section and encircles the other so as to permit the sections to slide apart a limited distance and form stops to prevent their separation. At a short distance from the outer end of each section a vertical recess 2 is out, these recesses being adapted to receive the shanks 3 of the bracket 4:. In this manner a band around the end to form an outer wall for the recess 2is necessary, and furthermore sufficient space is leftoutside of the recesses to receive nails, screws, or other devices (not shown) whereby to fasten the strip in place. Bands 5 5 are loosely mounted to slide on the strip and they are adapted to slide over the shanks, and thus hold the brackets securely and rigidly in place. These bands are generally provided with narrow ends 6 6, adapted to be bent around the ends of the strip where they are secured by one or more nails or other devices 7, as shown. When bent inwardly in this manner, these ends reinforce the ends of the strip and not only give strength at this point, but also tend to prevent splitting of the ends of the bars when nails or screws are driven therein.
By Way of slight modifications the ends 6 6 may be dispensed with, as shown in Fig. 4, and the band may then be held in place by a nail placed at its inside edge, or these ends may be pointed, as shown in Fig. 5, and they may then be bent around and driven into the ends of the strip, as the end of a clinch-nail is treated.
It will be observed that if the width of the strip warrants it the bracket may be adjusted up and down a trifle in case the strip should be carelessly nailed to the window-frame on a slant or the building should cause the window-frame to settle. When thus adjusted the friction of the band against the bracket is sufficient to hold it in place.
A device of this character contributes greatly to the art of curtain-hanging and at the same time is eiiicient and inexpensive.
In the modification illustrated in Fig. 6 the band 5 is made with an elongated slot 8, adapted to align with the recess 2 in the strip Awhen the band 5 isin position on the strip, and thus permit the ready insertion of the shank 3 of the bracket 4.
It is evident that the necessary changes could be made in the construction of the curtain-shade holders to adapt it to different positions as, for instance, to render it attachable to the inside of a window-frame as well as to the ontsidewithout departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to be limited to the exact construction herein set forth; but,
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination, with a strip or strips provided with grooves or recesses formed entirely within the body thereof, adapted each to receive the shank of a curtain-roller bracket ICO and form outer and inner Walls for the latter, of bands loosely mounted on thestrip or strips whereby they are adapted to he slid into a position to overlap said shanks and hold them 5 within the recesses, substantially as set forth. 2. The combination, with a strip or strips provided at or near their outer ends with recesses adapted to receive the shanks of curtain-roller brackets, of bands surrounding the strip or strips and constructed to slide over the shanks of the brackets, whereby the latter are held firmly in place within the recess,
2 aszgn said bands providedwith projecting ends at 'theirouter edges in position to be bent around CHARLES E. DODD.
