Description
BENJAMIN IIANDFORTH, 0F CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVED CURTAIN-FIXTURE.
Specilcation forming part of Letters Patent No. 59,009, dated October 23, 15566.
marked thereon, which form part of this speci' fcation.
To enable those skilled in the art to construct and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the same with particularity, making reference in so doing to the aforesaid drawings, in which- Figure l represents a front elevation ot' my invention; Fig. 2, a side view ofthe same; Fig. 3, atletached view of the sheave or grooved roller E, and Fig. 4 a transverse section ot' the roller It.
My said invention consists, first, in a novel arrangement whereby the curtain may be raised and lowered and secured in any desired position; second, in a novel support or bearlng for the roller, upon which the curtain or shade is arranged, whereby the same may be used with equal facility upon the right or left hand side ofthe window; and, third,iu a novel mode of securing the curtain or shade to the roller upon which it is wound or rolled up.
A represents any ordinary curtain or shade, secured to a roller, R, as hereinafter described, which is sustaincdin suitable bearings or snpports at each end, one of said supports, B, bemg provided with a socket, into which one end of the roller enters, and the other support be ing provided with an open slot, c, upon which the other end of the said roller Ris laid, as seen in Fig, 2, there being a similar slot, c', upon the lower side of said support C, so that said support may be arranged in an inverted position upon the opposite side of the window with equal facility and advantage.
The roller Ris divided longitudinally in two parts, between which is arranged the curtain A, as shown in Fig. 4, and is secured to said roller by means of the bolts, screws, or rivets s, or their equivalent. The drawings represent the roller as being dividedinto two equal parts 3 but this is not necessary, as any two parts fastened together in substantially the same way would answer the same purpose.
I am aware that the curtain has been fastened to the roller by having a groove arranged upon said roller, and securin the curtain therein by forcing a corresponding strip into said groove; but from the fact that the thickness of curtains vary, in many instances the said strip lits so loosely' into the groove as to aiord no reliable means of fastening the curtain to the roller, and sometimes it will not enter at all without being diminished in diameter, and therefore this mode of securing the curtain to the roller is very inconvenient and undesirable; whereas by my method above described the operation is always sure, effectual, and reliable.
D represents a cord, one endof which is secured to the roller 1t, and the other, passing under the grooved wheel or sheave E, hangs down so as to be readily reached when desired.
flicn the curtain is drawn down the said cord is wound upon the roller, so that by pulling upon said cord the curtain is rolled up. When the cord D is held in such a position as to lie under or in the groove a, it slides or moves freely; but upon being drawn in to ward one side and slacked slightly, the retrograde movement ofthe said roller E draws the cord into an oblique groove, b, opening ont rom the groove aand running out toward the surface, so as to gradually become shallower toward its outer end, and thus wedges or secures the cord to the face ot' the window-casing and holds the curtain in the position desired. When the curtain is to be readjusted, a slight pull upon the cord will disengage it, when it is held parallel with the groove a and operates as before.
Having described the construction and operation of my invention, I will now specify what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent In combination with the curtain A, roller R, and cord D, thearran gement of the sheave E, provided with the groove a and one or more oblique grooves, b, operating substantially as and for the purposes specified.
