EEICE,
PATENT JAMES B. OASADY, OF TOLEDO, OHIO.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 731,544, dated. June 23, 1903.
Application filed March 26, 1902.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that 1, JAMES B. CAsADY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Ourtain'and Shade Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as 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 theletters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in extensible curtain and shade holders;and its primary object is to provide a simple and efiicient means of support for curtains and shades that is light and durablein its construction and may be easily folded in a compact form and that may be readily adjusted in width to adapt it to be secured to a window-frame of any desired size.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front perspective view of my invention as it appears when secured to the window-frame in position to receive the curtain and shade, and Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the adjustable bar of my device and shows the manner in which the same is secured and retained in rigid adjustment.
Proceeding to describe in detail the invention, A A represent flat adjustable strips having their outer ends bent to form tongues and being interposed between and secured to the rear and upper portions of the brackets B B by the bolts h h, which pass through suitable apertures provided in said tongues and brackets. Each of the said strips A and A has at its inner end the sleeve 2', which is adapted to fit over or surround and slide upon the adjacent strip, and thus form a longitudinally- Either one or both of the sleeves 2' i may be provided with a threaded aperture to receive and permit the bindingscrew d to bear against the adjacent sliding strip, and thus hold the same rigidly in a given position of adjustment.
On the rear of and near the outer tongued ends of the bars A A, I rivet or secure in any suitable manner the ears 0 c, which are provided with inverted-V-shaped slots to adapt Serial No. 100,144. (No model.)
them to receive the heads of screws or nails secured in the window-frame, and thus provide means for hanging the device thereto in such manner as to make its removal easy and simple.
l) I) represent hearings or journals provided in the outwardly-projecting portions of the bracketsB B, in which the cu rtain-pole, which comprises the rod e and the tubular telescoping section e, is adapted to be looselyinserted, thus providing means for preventing the said curtain-pole from being displaced from said brackets by reason of anyjar or pulling of the curtain thereto attached. The outer ends of the said parts a and e of the curtainpole are formed with balls or enlarged portionsff, which are adapted to abut against the outer faces of the journals 1) b of the brackets BBand limit the inward movement of the said parts 6 and e therein. It will be obvious that by having the said parts of the curtain-pole mounted loosely in the said journals they may be easily withdrawn, and thereby greatly facilitate the adjustment of the curtain thereon.
It will be noticed that one of the brackets B B near its central portion is provided with an aperture g, which forms a bearing or box for the reception of one of the ends of ashaderoller or pole, and the other bracket is provided with a vertical elongated slot g to permit of the other end of said shade-roller being dropped therein and has its lower portion enlarged to form a suitable bearing-surface for the said roller.
It is obvious that this device when properly adjusted to the size of the window to which it is to be attached is hung upon suitable supports secured in the Window-casing for that purpose, the bearings of the windowshade roller are mounted in the aperture g and the slot g, and the curtain is draped upon the rod or pole formed by the sections e and e-. It will also be apparent that this device can be easily taken apart and folded in a compact form for shipping or packing the same away.
It will of course be understood that I have merely described the perferred form of c011- struction of my adjustable curtain and shadeholder and that the same may be varied in its construction without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing any of the numerous advantages arising therefrom.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In an adjustable curtain and drapery holder, the combination, with a pair of brackets, an adjustable barinterposed between and secured to said brackets, a telescoping curtain-rod, a series of cars having inverted-V- shaped slots secured to said bar, and bearings provided in the central portion of said brackets for the reception of the ends of a shade-roller, of the bearings 19, b provided at the outer extremity of said brackets and adapted to receive said telescoping curtainrod and retain the same in rigid lateral relation to said brackets.
