CURTAINFIXTURE BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 654,152, dated July 24, 1900.

Application iled J'uly 3,1899. Serial No. 722,713. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, Gus HEILIGENSTEIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Bremen, in the county of Auglaize and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Ourtain-Fixture Bracket, of which-the following is a specification.

This invention is a combined curtain roller and pole supporter, the object being to provide an exceedingly cheap and simple device which can be screwed into the window-frame and provide the means for supporting the curtain-shade roller and the large pole to which lace-curtains and other drapery can be attached.

The invention consists in certain details of construction and lnovelties of combination, all of which will be fully described hereinafter and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming part of this specitication, Figure l is a perspective view showing the practical application of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a bracket constrncted in accordance with my invention. Fig. 3 is a front elevation or end view.

ln constructing my improved bracket I employ a single piece of stout wire, one end of which is threaded, as shown at A. The bracket-arm B extends horizon tally for a suitable distance and is then curved downwardly, as shown at O, substantially in the form of a semicircle, in order to provide a suitable rest or seat for the curtain-pole. A suitable expanded ornamental head D is then constructed at right angles to the bracket-arm, and the Wire is then curved downwardly again in the frame of the semicircle, as shown at E, a trifle below and partially under the portion C. The wire is then carried downwardly, as shown at F, to provide the brace-arm. At the end of said brace-arm the Wire is bent back upon itself vertically several times to provide the vertical grooves or notches G and H, which are adapted to receive the journals of the shade-roller, said journals being preferably located in the groove or notch G; but groove or notch H may be employed, if so desired. After constructing the groove or notch Hthe Wire is carried up, as shown at I, and twisted around the bracket-arm B, as shown at K.

A bracket constructed as described can be quickly and easily screwed into the frame of the window, and the curtain-pole will be supported in the seat or rest at the forward end a sufficient distance from the shade-roller, and by constructing the bracket with one or more notches or grooves one or more shaderollers can be supported, if so desired.

By forming the head transverse to the length of the bracket the forward end of said bracket is not only rendered ornamental, but is also greatly stiffened.

It will thus be seen that I provide an eX'- ceedingly cheap and simple form of bracket which will fully carry out all the objects hereinbefore mentioned.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-V A substantially-triangular curtain-fixture bracket formed from a single piece of wire,

one end of which is formed into a loop and the other end into ascreW-point and projecting through the loop, and the intermediate portion is formed into a base, an arm and a brace, the outer ends of the arm and the brace being joined together in an expanded head at right angles thereto and each being bent into a depending curve, the curve of the brace being lower than and partially under the curve of the arm, and the lower end of the brace being doubled upon itself vertically to form vertical notches.
