CURTAIN-FIXTURE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 642,247, dated January 30, 1900. Application filed October 20, 1898. Serial No. 694,098. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CHARLES T. MORRIS and ADAM KUNKLE, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Monaca, in the county of Beaver and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Fixtures; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference bein g had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in curtain-fixtures.
The invention has for its object the provision of a means whereby the curtain may be lowered without having to mount a step .ladder or chair and also hold the same at various heights.
With the above object in view the invention finallyconsists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described in detail.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, wherein like numerals of reference designatelike parts throughout both views, in which Figure 1 is a front view of our improved device attached to a window-frame. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.
Referring to the drawings by referencenumerals, 1 indicates the window-frame, from which is supported a pair of vertical guiderods 2 and 2. These guide-rods are bent at their upper ends to form hangers and eyes for the reception of the screws 3, by means of which the rods are fastened to the windowframe, and upon the turned-under end of the rod 2 we mount the pulley 4,and upon the like end of the rod 2 is mounted the double pulley 5 for the reception of the operating-cords, as will be hereinafter described. The rods 2 and 2 are supported at their lower ends in the brackets 6 and (5, which are secured to the window-frame by screws or other suitable means. The rods 2 and 2' have mounted to slide vertically thereon the guide-clips 7 and '7, which are attached to and form a support for the horizontal bar 8, which projects a slight distance beyond each side of the window-frame and has secured thereto blocks 9 and 9, each suitably apertured to receive the pintle in the ends of the shade-roller 10. These blocks have secured thereto suitable brackets 11 and 11, extending outwardly and forming the support for the curtain-pole.
For holding the supporting-bar S elevated at the top of the window-frame we secure to the said frame a pair of spring- brackets 12 and 12, having connected thereto the upper ends of the cords or chains 13 and 13, which pass through eyes 14 at the sides of the win- (low-frame, and when the brackets are not desired for use in supporting the bar they may be held in the position shown by fastening the lower ends of the cords or chains 13 and 13 in the brackets 6 and 6.
Operating cords or chains 16 and 17 are connected to a common tassel 15, the cord or chain 16 being carried over the double pulley 5 and then downward to the bar 8, where it is connected to an eye 17, carried by said bar. The operatingcord 17 is also carried over the double pulley 5 and across the top of the frame, where it is Wound around the pulley 4, being then extended downward to the bar 8, where it is connected to an eye 18, carried by said bar.
The operation is as follows: To elevate the bar 8 to the top of the frame, the tassel 15 is grasped and pulled downwardly, simultaneously operating the cords 16 and 17 and cansing the same to elevate the bar. When this bar has been elevated above the springbrackets 12 and 12, the cords 13 and 13 are released from their fastening with the brack ets 6 and 6, allowing the brackets 12 and 12 to spring outwardly and be in a position to support the bar 8. To lower the bar, the cords 13 13 are fastened as before, which compresses the springs and allows the bar to be lowered to the position shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
The weight of the bar 8, together with that of the shade-pole and the curtain-pole, will cause the guide-clips to have a tendency to bind upon the guide-rods 2 and 2, and thus prevent the bar 8 from descending rapidly when the supports therefor are removed.
Having thus fully shown and described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-,
In a curtain-fixture, the combination with the window-frame, of a pair of vertical guiderods bent downwardlyat their upper ends forming hangers, and eyes which are adapted to receive fastening means for securing the upper ends of the rods to the Window-frame, a single pulley connected to one of the said hangers, a double pulley connected to the opposite hanger, a bracket 6, secured to each side of the Window-frame for supporting the lower end of each of the guide-rods, a supporting-bar, means connected to the said bar for supporting a shade or curtain, a guideclip secured to each end of the said bar and operating on said guide-rods, a spring-bracket connected to each side of the Window-frame for normally supporting the said bar in an
