llniiTnn PATENT WINDOW SHADE AND CURTAIN HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent'No. 617,303, dated January 3, 1899.
Application filed October 2'7, 1897. Serial No. 656,647. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JACOB ABRAHAMS, of Rutland, in the county of Rutland and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window Shade and Curtain Holders; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in window shade and curtain holders.
The object of my invention is to provide a means for supporting window shades and ourtains upon the casing of windows or the cornerbloeks of casings in such a manner that the bracket which supports the shade-rollers and the curtain-poles may be moved laterally, thereby accommodating shade-rollers and curtain-poles of varying lengths.
Figure 1 presents a top view of my inVen tion in its place upon the window-casing. Fig. 2 represents a side view of the left-hand bracket, curtain-pole, and windowcasing. Fig. 3 presents a top view of the bracket and the attachment which I provide for fixing to the bracket in order to form the support for the curtain-pole, the view showing the one at the left hand in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 shows a front view of the left-hand bracket and curtain-pole attachment, with the cylinder in which the bracket is supported. Fig. 5 shows a front view of the cylinder 0 which is shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4. Fig. 6 is a cross-section of the cylinder. Fig. 7 shows a side view of the right-hand bracket shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 8 shows a front view of the same bracket, the curtain-pole attachment being removed, however.
In the accompanying drawings, V represents a window, supported on either side by the window-jainb.
W represents the architrave of the window or the casing about the window. It may be deemed to represent the corner-block of the window-casing or any portion of the woodwork about the window or attached to the casing to which my appliance may be fitted. Into this block or woodwork is bored the hole shown at J on either hand of Fig. 1. Into these openings J are inserted tin or metal cylinders 0. (Shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.) The cylinder 0 has cut away from it a portion of one side, as shown by g in Figs. 4, 5, and 6, so as to admit the shank of the bracket A or a, respectively, in the said opening 9 and allow it to move therein laterally. The cylinder 0 is also provided with a small hole It, Figs. 4 and 5, so as to provide means for withdrawing it from the hole J. The block or casing \Vis also cut away horizontally on the line of the opening J to the same width as the opening 9 in the cylinder 0, so as to permit the shank A to move laterally in the cylinder 0 when the cylinder is inserted in the opening J. The bracket is shown by A in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 and by a in Figs. 1, 7, and 8, the former bein g the left-hand and the latter the right-hand bracket. The brackets A and a, are each provided with a screw or spring supporting projection E, (shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8,) which runs in a direction transverse to the plane of the bracket and which is intended to fit into and slide laterally in the'cylinder C,
the shank moving in the slot When in place, the visible portion of the brackets A and a are in a perpendicular plane and the screw portion is in a horizontal plane.
The brackets A and Cb are each provided with suitable recesses or holes cut in their lower and outer portions and shown by F in Figs. 2, 3, and 4 and G in Figs. 7 and S, which are prepared to receive the pinions of the shade-roller X. (Shown in Fig. 1.) These brackets A and CL are cast with two ears upon the side of each, so that the bracket is made of sufficient thickness to permit the boring of recesses in them, in which are to be set the ends of the curtain-pole supports. The thickened portions or ears of the brackets A and on are shown by f in Figs. 3, 4, and 8. The recesses are shown by letter 6 in Figs. 2, 8, 4,
7, and 8. The brackets A are made in pairs,
right and left, so that the ears or thicknesses are on the outer side and the screws are toward the inside. It is manifest, however, that the ears f may be cast upon the other side and the screws may be turned outwardly, so as to operate with the springs hereinafter referred to instead of in the manner as shown, or the ears and the screws may be cast on the same side, as may be desired.
The cylinder C is adapted to receive a coilspring which may be fastened at one end by clips k. (Shown in Figs. 4 and 5.) These clips are made by partially cutting tongues out of the cylinder 0 and bending them so as to catch the coil-spring and hold it securely in place or by other suitable means. The other end of the coil-spring is secured to the screws of the brackets A and a.
The brackets A and or may be moved outwardly along the cylinder 0, so as to receive the pivots of the shade-roller X, the tension of the spring 0 drawing the brackets A and a together again when they are released, so as to hold the shade-roller firmly in position. The screws on the bracket A may be of course turned outwardly, and the springs efiect the same purpose by expansion as the drawings show them to accomplish by contraction.
As before stated, the brackets A and a are bored in their thickened portions in the manner shown by e in Figs.- 2, 3, 4, 7, and S, and in these sockets are set the shanks of the curtain-pole support, (shown by B and bin Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4.) The curtain-support wire B and b is bent, so that it has two arms crossed, as shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4, the arm which is nearer to the bracket being inserted in the socket which is nearest to the casin g and the other arm being inserted in the socket farthest from the casing, so that the two arms of the support are crossed, as shown at I in Figs. 1, 3, and 4. At that point one of the crossing wires is bent so as receive and confine the other arm, as shown at I in Fig. 4, which prevents the curtain-support from being shaken sidewise. This object is also aided by cutting out the brackets A and a on one side of the openings 6 to form the recesses II in Fig. '7, in which the arms of the curtain-pole support are held from turning in the sockets, and may rest. This arrangement tends to hold each arm of the curtain-pole support firmly in position, and these two arms being fastened or held together, as shown at I in Fig. 4, practically all side movement of the supports B and Z) is prevented. The ends of these supports are curved, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, so as to receive and support the curtain-pole Y.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a window shade and curtain holder, a pair of brackets provided with openings to receive the pivots of the shade-rolls; recesses and grooves at different places in the brackets to receive the free ends of thecurtainpole supports; curtain-pole supports consisting of wires returning on themselves with two angle bends in each wire forming a curtainpole support and the free end of each wire secured in recesses and grooves of the bracket, substantially as set forth.
2. In a window shade and curtain holder, a pair of brackets horizontally adjustable, provided with openings to receive the pivots of the shade-rolls; recesses at different places in the brackets to receive the ends of the curtain-pole supports, in combination with the curtain-pole supports consisting of wires returning on themselves with two angle bends in each wire, and the free ends of each wire secured in recesses of the bracket, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
3. In a shade-holder the following elements in combination: the pair of shade-holding brackets each provided with spring-supporting projections; slotted cylinders horizontally disposed on the window-casing, coiled springs engaging the brackets and thecylinders and so arranged as to draw and sustain the brackets in contact with the pivots on the shaderolls, substantially as set forth.
4. In a window shade and curtain holder, the combination of a cylinder set on the window-casing and provided with a horizontallydisposed slot; the bracket provided with a shank and a spring-supporting projection adapted to move horizontally in the direction of the length of the cylinder and a coil spring located within the cylinder or chamber, so arranged as to be held at one end, while it engages the projection on the bracket at the op posite end of the spring, substantially as de scribed.
5. In a window-shade, the combination of a bracket having a spring-supporting projection, the bracket being adapted to move horizontally in a chamber fitted to receive it, providing bearings for the support of the bracket; the cylinder provided with a chamber, a spring fastened at one end of the chamber and attached to the spring-supporting projections on the bracket at the opposite end, substantially as set forth.
6. In a window-shade holder, the combination of a pair of horizontally-disposed slotted cylinders supported on the window-casing; brackets each provided with a shank fitted to move loosely in the slotted cylinder, provided with a screw-threaded projection arranged to move within the cylinder; a coil-spring in each cylinder fitted at one end to the screwthreaded projection on each bracket and at the opposite end connected to the cylinder and drawing the brackets into engagement with the pivots on the roll, substantially as set forth.
7. A pair of window-shade brackets having lugs perforated vertically and grooves opening outwardly, in combination with a wire curtain-pole support returning upon itself,
cylinders, and springs acting on the adjust- 1'0 able brackets, substantially as set forth.
In witness whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
