0. G. VOSBURGH. CURTAIN POLE ORNAMENT.
No. 566,488. Patented Aug. 25, 1896.
. UNITED STATES CHARLES C. VOSBURGH, OF AMSTERDAM, NEW YORK.
CURTAIN-POLE ORNAIVI E NT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 566,488, dated August 25, 1896.
A plication filed November 23, 1895. Serial No. 569,915. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known thatI, CHARLES C. Vosnunen, a citizen of the United States, residing at Amsterdam, county of Montgomery, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Pole Ornaments, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to such improvements; and it consists of the novel construc tion and combination of parts hereinafter described and subsequently claimed.
Reference may be had to the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. o
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several figures therein.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a side view of one end of a curtain-pole provided with my improved ornament. Fig. 2 is an end view of the pole provided with an exteriorly-threaded cap. Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section of the same on the broken line 3 3 in Fig. 2. Fig. i is a top plan view of the attachingbase.. Fig. 5 is a side view of the knob ornament. Fig. 6 is a central longitudinal section of the base and part of the knob ornament.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple, durable, and efficient construction for securing a knob or other ornament upon the end of a wooden curtain-pole.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a portion of a curtain-pole, made, preferably, of wood and provided at its end with a metal cap A, fixed thereon and exteriorly screwthreaded. The cap may be made of sheet metal, when desired, and is shown in Figs. 2 and 3 fixed on the end of the pole by a tack or nail A inserted through the center of its end wall into the end of the pole. The cap is further secured to the pole end to prevent its rotation thereon by means of the spurs A struck up from the end wall of the cap and adapted to be embedded in the end of the pole.
B is a knob ornament, and C the base for.
such ornament, by means of which it is attached to the pole. The knob ornament may be of any desired form and is preferably formed of sheet metal, as is also the base 0.
The base 0 is open at its lower end and interiorly screwthreaded .to form a socket adapted to receive the threaded cap secured on the pole end.
The knob ornament and its base are preferably connected by means of a plurality of lips struck up from the sheet metal forming the knob to project outwardly therefrom and inserted, respectively, through apertures 0 formed in the end of the base, after which the lips B are upset upon the inner surface of the end wall of the base, as shown in Fig. 6, to securely hold the parts together.
The operation of the device is as follows: The wooden pole being cut to the desired length, the exteriorly-threaded cap is applied thereto and fixed thereon in the manner above described. The knob and base are supplied to the trade as a single article, being permanently secured together by the lip connections, and it is onlynecessary to screw abase, with its attached knob ornament, upon the exteriorly-threaded cap fixed on the end of the pole to complete the ornamentation of the pole end.
I am aware that poles have heretofore been provided with ornamented tips screwed or otherwise fastened thereon, and also that tubular rollers have been provided with screwthreaded extensions adapted to receive a screw-threaded cup having a pintle soldered thereto, and such matters are not broadly claimed herein. By the present improvement the pole is provided with a cap tacked or otherwise directly secured to and covering its end in manner to preclude rotation of said. cap, which is provided with exterior threads to receive an internally-threaded part intermediate the cap and the ornament, said intermediate part constituting a base for the ornament and providing means for its attachment to the immovable cap. Both the cap and the base are approximately cup-shaped and. have closed bottoms, the bottoms of the former being tacked to the pole end and that of the latter secured by clenched or upset lips to a corresponding part of the ornament.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- V 1. In combination with a curtain-pole, an exteriorly-threaded cap fitting the pole circumferentially and also transversely at its an end ornament, said base and ornament having parallel contiguous faces secured together by lips formed in one entering perforations in the other said lips being upset or clenched, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of November, 1895.
CHAS. O. VOSBURGH.
