No. 600,862. Patsnted MELT. 22,1898.

PORTFERE OR CURTAIN POLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 600,852, dated March 22, 1898.
Application filed October 9, 1897.
Serial No. 654,650. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern! Be itknown that I, JOHN FRANCIS BAISLEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State-of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portiere or Curtain Poles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, inwhich similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to that class of portiere and curtain poles which are arranged in sections between which the portiere or ourtain is adapted to be bound or clamped.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and improved pole of this class which will possess advantages in point of convenience, adaptability, ease of operation, effectiveness, and general efficiency.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pole embodying my improvements, it being shown in normal closed position. Fig. 2 is a perspective View showing the pole open. Figs. 3 and 4 are transverse detail sectional views taken, respectively, on the lines 1 1 and 2 2 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a transverse detail sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, but with the hinged parts closed.
Referring to the drawings, A A designate the two half-sections of my improved pole, which are preferably of semicircular contour in cross-section and are hinged together at their ends, as at a, preferably at the top, the end portions at the hinge-joint being of solid construction, as shown at a.
In the inner face of each section A A is provided a longitudinal recess a extending between the end portions ct a and of suitable width. The recesses a preferably extend in width from a point near the top of the polesection to the bottom of the latter, and these corresponding recessesin thetwo pole-sections conjointly form an intermediate space for the accommodation of the portiere or curtain fabric when the pole is closed, while their outer ends conjointly form a longitudinal slot or opening a at the bottom of the pole, through which the portiere or curtain fabric projects.
At the top of one of the recesses a is provided a longitudinal series of projecting pinsb, upon which the top edge of the curtain fabric is adapted to be secured or plaited, and in the opposite face of the other pole-section is formed a corresponding longitudinal series of holes or recesses b", adapted to respectively receive the ends of the projecting pins 1) when the pole is closed.
In one of the recesses 61. is provided, preferably at approximately a central point withv respect to the width of the recess, a longitudinal projecting tongue or rib O, which may be formed of any suitable or adapted material and which is secured in position in any suitable manner. This longitudinal tongue or rib is preferably formed of vulcanized or hard rubber, and it may be of semicircular contour in cross-section, as herein shown, or provided with any suitable form of rounded or convex outer edge. In the wall of the other recess a of the other pole-section is provided a longitudinal groove or channel O,corresponding to the tongue or rib O and adapted to receive the same when the pole-sections are closed together, the groove being preferably slightly larger in width and depth than the tongue to accommodate the plaits or thicknesses of the portiere or curtain fabric when the latter is compressed within the groove by the tongue.
When the pole-sections are closed together in normal position, with the portiere or ourtain fabric secured upon the pins 1) and pressed between the pole-sections by operation of the tongue 0 and the groove O, the pole-sections may be retained in this closed operative position by means of the cylindrical caps D, inserted over the ends of the pole. To further brace or secure the pole-sections in relatively-closed position, I may provide a bolt E, adapted to pass transversely through the pole-sections, preferably at acentral position and at a point just above the tongue and groove, said bolt having a rectangular and cylindrical portion e and 6, respectively, accommodated in corresponding openings 0 and o in the respective pole-sections, the bolt being provided at its front end with an ornamental rosette e forming a head and having a thumb-nut f and washer f at its other end for securing it in position.
The operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood- The polesections may be quickly and conveniently opened to enable the ready attachment or d etachment of the portiere or curtain fabric in the mannerhereinbefore set forth, and when the pole is closed it operates to securely retain the top edge of the fabric interiorly and at the same time permit the fabric to project and hang from the pole in the usual manner.
For service as a portiere-pole or in connection with heavy fabrics the device may be constructed in large or strong form, while for use as a lace-curtain pole or in connection with light fabrics its diameter or general size can be greatly reduced without affecting its efficiency.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. An improved portiere and curtain pole, comprising two half-sections provided in their adjoining faces with relative longitudinal recesses, the opposite faces of said sections being respectively provided with a longitudinal series of projecting pins and a series of holes or openings adapted to receive the latter, and with a longitudinal projecting tongue or rib arranged in one of the recesses below said series of pins or holes and a corresponding longitudinal groove or channel in the other section adapted to receive said tongue or rib, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The herein-described improved portiere and curtain pole, comprising the two halfsections hinged together and having their adjoining inner faces provided With a longitudinal recess eXtending to the bottom and forming a slot or opening at the lower edge, one
I of said sections having a longitudinal series of projecting pins below which is arranged a longitudinal groove or channel and the other section having a series of holes or openings adapted to receive said pins and a longitudinal projecting rib or tongue arranged in its longitudinal recess and adapted to enter said groove or channel, and means for securing or locking. the polesections in closed position, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. An improved curtain-pole, comprising two half-sections hinged together and having their adjoining inner faces provided with a longitudinal recess extending to the bottom and forming a slot or opening at the lower edge, one of said sections having a longitudinal series of projecting pins below which is arranged a longitudinal groove or channel and the other section having a series of holes or openings adapted to receive said pins, a longitudinal projecting rib or tongue arranged in its longitudinal recess and adapted to enter said groove or channel, cylindrical caps adapted to lock the pole-sections in closed position, and clamping-bolts and thumb-nuts adapted to prevent the sections from springing outwardly, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1 have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 5th day of October, 1897.
JOHN FRANCIS BAISLEY.
