DEVICE FOR SUSPENDING CURTAINS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 572,616, dated December 8, 1896.
' Application filed May' 19, 1896.
T0 at whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN PURSELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Suspending Curtains; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive device for suspending curtains from poles which will take the place of ordinary curtain-rings, will slide freely along the pole, may be IBDIOVGdflODl the pole without taking the latter down, and which shall present a neater and more ornamental appearance than ordinary curtain-rings.
With these ends in view Ihave devised the novel construction, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, letters and numbers being used to designate the several parts.
Figure 1is an elevation of my novel device in position on a pole, which is shown in section; Fig. 2, a side elevation as seen from the left in Fig. 1, showing the front of the ornamental shield; and Fig. 3 is a side elevation as seen from the right in Fig. 1, showing the back of the ornamental shield and the mode in which it is attached in place.
A denotes a curtain-pole, and B my novel suspending device as a whole. This device consists of abody 1, the lower portion of which is provided with a loop 2 to receive a curtainpin or other device by which the curtain is attached to the suspending device. At the top of the device is a bar 3, which carries a roller 4, adapted to travel on the pole. I preferably curve the wire and bend it backward upon itself at the intersection of the bar with the body proper, so as to form a coil 5 to serve The opposite end of the bar is adapted to engage an eye 6, formed at the opposite end of the blank of wire from which the device is formed. Either round, square,
or polygonal wire may be used, as preferred,
Serial No. 592,201. (No model.)
and either brass or iron wire. It is desirable, however, that the wire have suflicient resiliency to permit the device to be readily removed from or attached to a pole without taking the pole down or without even detaching the curtain from the device unless preferred. To remove the suspending device from the pole, the operator simply springs eye 6 away from the bar and opens out the two ends of the device, thus permitting it to be readily slipped off from the pole. When the pole is up and it is desired to place a number of my suspending devices thereon without taking down the pole, the bar is detached from the eye, as already stated, the ends sprung outward and slipped over the pole, and then the bar is placed in engagement with the eye again.
7 denotes an ornamental shield which is blanked out from sheet metal and is provided with attaching-lugs 8, which are struck out from the metal of the shield and turned backward, so as to inclose one side of the body, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
It will be apparent that different styles of shields may be formed to correspond with different styles of interior decoration.
Having thus described my invention, I claimtains formed from a single piece of wire and provided with a loop to receive a curtain-pole, a horizontal bar which carries a roller to engage a pole and an eye which is engaged by the bar to retain the device in place on the pole.
2. A removable device for suspending curtains formed from a single piece of wire and consisting of a loop to receive a curtain-pole, a horizontal bar which carries a roller to engage the pole, a coil at the intersection of the bar with the loop and an eye which is engaged by the bar as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN PURSELL.
