SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 658,006, dated September 18, 1 900 Application filed July 20, 1900.

To aZZwhom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES- E. FULLER- TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Helena, in the county of Phillips and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Pole Brackets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The present invention has for its object to provide a bracket for curtain-poles that is capable for use either upon the inner sides or front of a door or window frame or upon a wall or any other stationary object to which it is desired to suspend the curtain-pole, the bracket being adapted to support the pole at any angle desired.

The invention consists in a. curtain-pole bracket constructed substantially as shown in the drawings and hereinafter described and claimed.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a front elevation of the upper portion of a door or window frame,showing the brackets and curtainpole applied to the front thereof; Fig. 2, a similar View showing the brackets and ourtain-pole applied to the inner side of the door or window frame; Fig. 3, a perspective view, on an enlarged scale, of the bracket, showing the segmental support for the end of the pole in two positionsin full and dotted lines.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the upper portion of a door or window frame to show the application thereto of my improved bracket, as indicatedat B.

The essential feature of the-invention resides in the segmental support O,and therefore the bracket proper, as indicated at B, may be of any desirable construction and constructed of cast or sheet'metal, as found most desirable. In the present instance I have shown the bracket formed of a strip of sheet metal of the desired width and thickness and bent to the form shown more clearly in Fig. 3 of the drawings, the rear ends of the bracket having outwardly-extending flanges a, which are perforated to receive suitable screws for Serial No. 24,255. l lo model.)

securing the bracket in position to the door or window frame or other object.

The segmental support 0 may be formed of cast or sheet metal, withits outer end I) curved outwardly to facilitate engaging the curtain-pole D with the support or removing it therefrom. This segmental support 0 is not rigidly secured to the bracket, but is pivoted to the bracket by the pivot-pin c or by any other well-known means, so that the support can be turned at any angle with relation to the bracket to adapt it to the different positions required to suspend the curtain-pole, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.

The support 0 has a longitudinal slot d, so that the support may be moved lengthwise to more conveniently remove the end of thecurtain-pole where the position of the pole will not admit of its being lifted out of the segmental support in a vertical direction. In using a pair of the brackets one of the segmental supports only need to have the longitudinal slot, as when one end of the curtain-pole is disconnected from the support the opposite end is very readily removed. In having the segmental support 0 with the longitudinal slot d it enables the brackets to be secured as close to the top of the-door or window frame as desired and admit'of the curtain e pole being'conveniently removed trouble, thereby providing asupport for the ends of the curtain-pole that is capable of.

two adjustments-viz., on the are of a circle in a longitudinal direction and an adjustment on its pivotal connection with the bracket.

Having now fully described .my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A curtain-pole bracket and a segmental support for the end of the pole, means connecting the support and bracket, and means on the support cooperating with said con necting means for permitting adjustment of the support on an arc of a circle longitudinal of said support and coincident with the are thereof, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A curtain-pole bracket and segmental support for the end of the pole, a vertical pivot connecting the support to the bracket, and means embodied in the support for permitting its adjustment longitudinally and on an arc coincident with the arc of said support, substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. A curtain-pole bracket and a segmental Support for the end of the pole, said support having a longitudinal slot therethrough, and .7

a suitable pivot-fastening extending "ertically through the slot and secured to the 5 bracket, whereby said support is capable of l a horizontal and a lateral adjustment and i also a longitudinal ad justm-ent, substantially as and for the pin-pose specified.

4. A curtain-pole bracket comprising two arms joined at their outer ends and the rear ends of said arms terminating in outwardlyextending perforated flanges, a segmental support having a longitudinal slot therethrough, and a vertical pivot connecting the support to the bracket and extending through the slot of the support, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES E. FULLERTON.
