CURTAIN- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 518,918, dated April .24, 1 894.
Application filed June 20, 1893.
Fixtures, of which the following is a specifi-' cation.
The object of our invention is to providea curtain supporting bracket which can be taken down and put up with the curtain rod and curtain draped thereon byaperson standing on the floor, avoiding the use of steps or ladders.
Another object is to make a neat ornamental device on which the curtain rods are hinged so as to swing outward away from the windows in order that the windows can be washed or cleaned without taking down the curtains if desired.
The features of our invention are set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings making a part of the specification, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective elevation of a curtain and bracket in position as used. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional plan view, omitting the curtain and a portion of the curtain rod support. Fig. 3 is a detail plan view of the rotatable rod-support and the adjustable curtain rod. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view of the lower bracket support. Fig. 5 isa sectional perspective view of a modified construction; and Fig. 6 is a detail perspective view looking at the under side of the rotatable rod support exhibitedin Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
In the drawings, A indicates the side of a window frame, B the window sill, and O the top of the frame.
D represents the bracket on which the curtain rod g is supported.
E represents a rotatable support adapted to support the curtain rod, and having a platezresting on the bracketD and connected therewith by a pivot which journals in said bracket. The rotatable rod support is preferably provided with an ornamental'cap' or knob b, and the curtain rod has a sliding connection with the rod support, whereby the curtain rod may Serial No. 478,243. (No man be adjusted to suit the conditions required for windows of difierent width.
We have shown two forms of extension rods. In Fig. 3 c representsa rod support, g a tube fitting-and sliding thereon. In Fig. 5 the knob b is provided with a hole and the curtain rod rests therein and may slide out or in to correspond with the width of window, 71. represents a set screw for holding rod g in any adj u'sted position.
The bracket is designed to be held rigidly with its arm projecting out into the room at right angles to the frame of the window. This is accomplished by .means of the angular socket strap I-I into which the top of the bracket projects and is held.
I represents a stud affixed to the window frame above the window sill. It is provided with a recessor orifice i in which the foot of the bracket rests.
K represents a handle attached to the leg of the bracket.
L represents the window curtain, M a cord attached to the curtain rod so as to enable a person standing on the floor to swing the curtain outward away from thewindow.
To confine the rotary movement of the rotatable rod-support E within certain limits, the plate c may be provided with stops m, adapted to strike the bracket D. The stops are preferably formed by providing a projecting segmental flange depending from the margin or periphery of the plate 2', as clearly shown in Fig. 6.
Mode of operation: The curtain rod is adjusted on its hinge and the curtain draped on the rod, the socket strap H and stud I are fixed to the window frame. The operator takes hold of the lIandleK and the leg of the bracket, inserts the top of the bracket in the strap H and raises it up until the foot will enter the recess or orifice in stud I. Its weight will hold it in position.
We have shown only one bracket, but we preferably employ a pair, one attached to each 5 support having a rotatable plate pivoted to the bracket, and a curtain rod engaged with the rotatable plate, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto set I 5 our hands.
