APJUSTABLE BRACKET FOR SHADE OR OTHER ROLLERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 527,951, dated October 23,1894. Application filed January 18, 1890- Serial No. 337.402. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHNA. DWYER, acitizen of the United States, and a residentof the city of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Adjustable Brackets for Shade or other Rollers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in brackets for shade or other rollers, whereby the brackets or arms supporting the roller, can be arranged or adjusted for different lengths of roller by being arranged on a plate and secured in position thereon by means of serrations or indentations provided upon the back of said plate so formed as to hold in engagement a part of the bracket or arm which is formed to correspond with the said serrations or indentations on the plate, one of which is secured by screws to the window or door frame, or wherever desirable, at each end of the shade roller. The indentations on the plates holding the brackets or arms, are so divided or spaced that the brackets or arms may be moved slightly or extensively laterally Without disturbing the plates, which may be permanently fastened by screws or nails to the casing. It may be seen that by these means a roller of unsuitable length may be readily placed in position and secured lengthwise in its brackets, obviating the necessity of shortening the roller, or withdrawing nails or screws to readjust the brackets that are in general use at present, and as may be readily understood save destruction of the window and door casings, &c. I attain these accompanying this specification in which similarletters have reference to similar parts, and in which Figure 1 represents a part front view of a window frame and casing with a shade roller adjusted in position. Fig. 2 is aperspective ably located on the same. Fig. .3 is a part sectional plan of plate and bracket showing the engagement of the hook on the bracket with indentations or serrations on back of plate. Fig. 4 is a side of bracket showing hook with its angled face to engage indentations on plate and hole for pivot of shade roller.

I will now proceed to describe the construction of my newly invented adjustable bracket.

a represents a plate preferably of malleable iron or steel having at each end formed on its upper edge offsets and lips I), b in which holes 0' are formed so as to secure the same by screws 0 to the window casing A as in Fig. 1. On the back of the plate a are formed a number of indentations or serrations a arranged at regular-intervals vertically or at right angles with the length of the plate a so formed that any one indentation may receive and engage firmly the angle faced hook at by its edges 6 which is formed on thebracket at when the same is hooked on to the plate a. Wings d 61 extend outwardly on each side of the bracket 61 and are located on the same in such a manner that they hold and sustain the bracket d firmly at right angles upon the plate a when the same is located thereon as in Figs. 2 and 3.

In use or operation the plates a, at by their offsets or lips b, b are secured by suitable screws 0 on each side of the window frame A a suitable distance apart the shade and roller B having a bracket 01 with the holef formed at its outer end, placed on its pivotf and a bracket (:1 provided with the slot d engaged to the spring rodf is then lifted on to the plates at, a so that the hooks d with the angle edges 2 engage with the serrations or indentations a a, at the back of the plates a, a, and the wings 01 d press against the front face of the plates at, a as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. It will be seen that by engaging certain indentations a a by the books at d with their angle faces 6, e, the brackets d, d may be so located on the plates 9,, a. that the shade may be hung centrally with the window opening or doorway, and any variable length of roller used without cutting or altering the pivots, 850.; also wider or narrower blinds or curtains used.

Having described the construction and use of my newly-invented adjustable bracket for shade and other rollers, what I claim, and de sire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. A plate a having indentations or serrations a formed on the back of said plate 0&- set lips b b formed on the upper edge andat each end of said plate, said lips I), I), provided with holes a c in combination with a bracket 01 provided with a hook d engaging face or angle tooth e lateral bearingwings (l d and" an engaging slot 01 substantially as specified.

2. A plate a having indentations or serrations a formed on the back of said plate 0&- set lips b 19' formed on the upper edge and at each end of said plate, lips I) I) having countersunk holes formed in the said lips in combination with a bracket d provided with a hook d havingan angled face 6, bearing wings d d on each side of the bracket d and extending laterally, outwardly pivot hole f formed in outer bars 01 of bracket 01 substantially as specified.-

3. An adjustable bracket consisting of a specified.
