SHADE GUIDE (No Model.)
No. 536,517.. Patented Mar. 26, 1895.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.-
JOHN J. HAHN, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-THIRD TO GEORGE B. ALLEN, OF KANSAS CITY, KANSAS.
SHADE-GUIDE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 536,517, dated March 26, 1895.
Application filed June 28, 1994.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN J. HAHN, of Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Fixtures;
. and I do hereby declare that the following is from the interior of the car.
a full, clear, and exact description'of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use tures of construction and in combinations of parts more fully and particularly described hereinafter and pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1, is an elevation of the curtain taken Fig. 2, is a cross sectional view on the line 22, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows in perspective one of the. hooked heads and also the device for attaching the curtain thereto detached from the head and curtain. edge of the curtain detached from the hooked head, showing the tab and fastening device thereon which slips into the hooked head, dotted lines showing the hem at the edge of the curtain. Fig. 5 is a detail elevation of a portion of the curtain, looking at the op'po-- site side to that seen in Fig. 4, and showing the hooked head and cross bar thereof, dotted lines showing the hem at the edge of the curtain.
In the drawings, a, is the curtain. This curtain can he mounted on a suitable spring roller, if desired, or other means can be employed for operating the curtain.
Suitable means, such as guides, can be provided for the vertical edges of the curtain and the curtain is secured to means extending into and confined in said guides. In the present instance where the curtain is shown Fig. 4, is a-detailed elevation of one 7 Serial No. 516,014. (No model.)
applied to a summer car, the vertical guides b, are secured to the sides of the posts or uprights 0, arranged at the ends of the car seats and supporting the roof. The curtain is adapted to close the space between these uprights or posts.
Each guide way is preferably composed of a tube having the lateral flange d, by which it is secured to the upright so that the inner edge of the tube is located a short distance from the edge of the upright. This inner edge of the tube next to said flange is provided with a longitudinal slot 6. The guide Ways are longitudinally secured on the uprights usually throughout the entire length thereof traversed by the curtain. Each guide way can be suitably bent or otherwise formed from a single piece of metal.
The loweredge of the curtain is provided with a rigid cross bar f, forming a handle. The curtain is secured on this cross bar.
The ends of the cross bar can be formed of metal and hooked or U-shaped in cross section, see h, so as to partially embrace the guide tube and fit between the same and the upright a, and extend through the slot into the "tube so that both ends of the cross bar of the curtain are confined to slide on said guide ways and extend into the same.
The inner end. or edge of each head h,
within the guide can have avertical opening 2'.
Thevertical edges of the curtain are formed with heavy hemsj. At the lower end of the curtain these'hems are separated from the body of the curtain for a short distance by vertical slits, thus leaving the lower ends of the hems at the bottom corners of the curtain free to form tabs or tapes 70. Each tab isprovided with a metal binding strip Z. longitudinally arranged on the outer edge thereof. Each metal binding strip is preferably composed of a strip of U -shaped sheet metal clamped on a tab and then inserted through the opening 2', in the inner end of the hook h.
The curtain is secured in the heads of the cross bar by means of these metal binding strips on 'the tabs. Each strip is clamped within the hook h, in any suitable manner as byhaving its lower end bent or expanded so as to prevent its pulling out of the head when downward strain is exerted.
ICO
The upper portion of the binding and clamping strip Z, is provided with a hook Z, above the hook it, and parallel therewith to act as a guide for the curtain. The curtain extends into the groove over the outer face of the hooks. The hems at the edges of the curtain are thus confined within the guide way and a slot in the guide way is preferably so narrow as to prevent the edges of the curtain pulling out because of the thick hems.
The curtain covers one side of the guide way and passes between the cross bar head and the guide way so that the edge of the curtain is confined to the guide way during the vertical movement of the curtain and the cross bar holds it firmly in place-and yet permits free and easy vertical movement therein.
0, is a stop secured to the upper portion of each guide way and extends into the path of the cross bar so as to prevent the cross bar heads moving out of the confined guide way.
By means of the metal binding strip the curtains can be easily attached to thehooked heads of the cross bars and can be detached therefrom when necessary.
It is evident that various changes might be made in the forms, arrangements and constructions of the parts described, without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention. Hence I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction herein set forth, but consider myself entitled to all such changes as fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. In combination, vertical supports, the inclosing guide tubes thereon having the lateral flanges supporting the inner face of the tube a distance from the support, said inner face of the tube toward the support having the longitudinal slot, the vertically movable curtain at its edges partially embracing said tubes and provided with the edge enlargevertically movable curtain between said tubes and fitting the exteriors thereof and extending around the same through said slots with its longitudinal edges confined in the tubes, and heads traveling and confined in said tubes, and to which the lower portions of the curtain are secured, substantially as described.
3. The combination of vertical inclosing guide tubes, the curtain, the hook shaped traveling heads attached to thelower portion of the curtain and confined in said tubes, and the metal binding strips secured on the lower portions of the edges of said curtain within the tubes and secured to said heads within the tubes, substantially as described.
4. The combination of the slotted guide tubes, the vertically movable curtain, the cross bar of the curtain having the hooked ends confined in said tubes with the openings in their inner ends in the tubes, and the metal strips in the tubes and confined in said openings and secured on the lower portions of the curtain edges, said strips provided with the guides Z at their upper ends, as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN J. IIAIIN.
