DAVID MACDONALD REID, OF ASHTABULA, OHIO.
CURTAIN-POLE AND BRACKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 576,153, dated February 2, 1897. Application filed August 17, 1896. Serial No. 603,031, (No model.)
To aZZ whom it 17mg concern.-
Be it known that I, DAVID MACDONALD REID, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ashtabula, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Poles and Brackets; 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in curtain-poles and brackets;
and it consists in the construction and arrangements of parts, as hereinafter fully set upon the curtain to retain it in position,which object is attained by the construction illustrated in the accompanying; drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a portion of a window-casin g having my improved curtainpole mounted thereon. Fig. 2 is transverse section through the pole and one of the supporting-brackets, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective View of one of the brackets.
Referring to the figures of reference, 1 represents the pole proper, which is preferably cylindrical in form and which may be of any desired diameter and length.
2 represents a capping or clamping-strip, the inner surface of which is made to conform to the upper surface of the pole, and 3 indicates the brackets, which are preferably of the form shown in Fig. 3, which consist of the securing-plate 4, an extension-arm at, and the depending bracket 3, which is reversely bent and projects upward and is formed into a spindle 3, the upper end of the spindle 3 being threaded, and an ornamental nut, as 5, is adapted to be screwed upon said threaded end. '2 represents an ornamental piece which is secured along the upper edge of the clamping-strip 2.
The operation of hanging a curtain upon this improved pole is as follows: The brackets 3, which are made right and left handed, are secured one upon each side of a window, door, or other place where it is desired to hang a curtain. lVhen the brackets have been so placed, the pole 1, which has a series of perforations projecting upward therethrough near each end, is set down over the spindle 3 and the curtain draped over said pole in the desired manner, or as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and when the curtain has thus been arranged the capping, which also has a series of perforations near each of its ends, is placed upon the spindles 3, resting upon said ourtain, when the ornamental nuts 5 are screwed down upon the upper threaded ends of said spindles, whereby the portion of the curtain lying between said strip or capping and pole is securely clamped, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
It will thus be seen that by the employment of this improved pole, clamp, and brackets a curtain may be hung without the use of fastening devices which are usually employed and with which the curtain is usually pierced and by the use of which the texture or fabric of said curtain is mutilated or impaired by hanging from such a small support. This improved clarnp securely holds the curtain in perfect order, and the device as a whole comprising an article not only of considerable superiority over the ordinary bracket, but producing a holder that is ornamental and attractive. It will be understood that instead of having the nuts 5 in the form of a ball they may be made to represent a bird, butterfly, or other figure of ornamentation.
Having thus fully set forth my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a curtain pole and bracket, the pole adapted to form a support for the curtain, the clamping-strip formed to fit the contour of the upper side of said pole, the bracket adapted to be fastened to a window-casing, the spindle on said bracket, the apertures through said pole, the clamping-strip adapted to receive said spindle and said pole and clamping-strip adapted to be clamped thereon by a suitable nut, asset forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
DAVID MACDONALD REID.
