SPECIFICATION forming'part of LettersPatent 1}!0. 518,208, dated April 10, 1894. Application filed December 21, 1893. Serial No 494.306. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE COOK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Newark, county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Adjustable Shade-Roller Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in longitudinally adjustable shade roller brack- IO ets and more particularly to my former invention for which Letters Patent of the United States were issued on December 19, 1893, N 0. 510,894.

The object of my invention is to improve upon the said former device covered by the Letters Patent just mentioned and to carry forward the same to a higher degree of perfection in construction and details.

The invention consists in the mechanism hereinafter described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

In the said drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention complete. Fig. 2 shows one end of the roller in position with the z 5 bracket. Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig. 2.

A represents the base plate of the bracket,

having perforations g in each end for the reception of the fastening screws. The said base plate is provided with longitudinal ribs 0 k on each side thereof, formed by being upset on the body.

The bracket proper is represented by B. and B. This is a continuous metallic piece comprising the pivot bearing end B and the 3 5 serrated strip portion 13.

This bracket proper as distinguished from the base plate is adapted to slide in the track formed by the ribs 10, thus giving the adj ustment required. A gravity pawl d is pivoted 4c on the upper portion of the base plate which engages with the toothed strip portion of the bracket proper. A cam lever c is pivoted above the said pawl 01 being adapted to hold the latter in locked position when thrown for- 5 ward and to release the same when thrown backward, that is, in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 1. A plate coinciding with bearing portion B of the bracket proper.

thereof s extending through the bearing portion of the bracket proper.

The brackets usually go in parts of rights and lefts and it is generally preferable to have the roller inserted from the inside of the It can however be used from the opposite side if desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and thus desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. A shade roller bracket comprising a base plate having longitudinal ribs thereon, the

strip portion adapted to slide in the said base plate, a gravity pawl d engaging with the said strip portion and a cam lever c engaging with the said pawl, the bracket proper having its neck or bend narrower than the strip portion thereof, all substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.

3. In an adjustable shade roller bracket the combination of a sliding bracket proper having serrated edge, a gravity pawl, and a cam lever all arranged as shown and for the purpose substantially as set forth and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing'as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 1st day of December, 1893.

I GEORGE 000K.
