, CURTAIN R DRAPEYRY PROTECTOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. rA761,293, dated May 31, 1904.
Application filed September 16, 1903, Serial No. 173,423. (No model.)l
To all whom it may conceiva:l
able length of time or when it is desired to sweep the room.
It consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts, having reference to the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l shows the application of my de-A vice. Fig. 2 shows the bag when in' elevated position.
A represents a bag having an open mouth and supported by the cords 2 2', which pass over pulleys 3 3 at the top of the windowframe. 'f
Pulley 8 is preferably Vdouble and both cords pass through it, cord 2 running directly down to connect with one end of the rectan` gular wire frame 4, to which the open end of the bag is attached and by which the end is always kept distended. Cord 2 is supported intermediate of the pulleys by means o f the rings 5, attached to a iiexibletape 6, and from pulley 3 passes down and connects with the opposite end of frame 4.
By employing a tape, as 6, and sewing or otherwise suitably attaching rings to it I pro- Y vide a convenient cord-support, which may be made in any length originally and be cut off subsequently to it any width of window, the tape being quickly secured to the woodwork by means of a few tacks. yThe bag is of a `width corresponding with that of the windowupper end of the curtains and prevent' any in- 50 gressof dust. Any suitable means may be` employed to cause V'this iinal closing of the bag. I have shown stops 7 rigid on the window-frame, disposed in the path of the bagframe 4 below and adjacent to pulleys 3 3', 55 whereby the inner side of the frame is engaged as the bag is drawn up, causingthe open end of the bag to turn outward from a horizontal plane and tolie approximately parallel'with and against the wall-surface, in 60, which position little, if any, dirt can get .into the bag. The bag is held with the enfolded vcurtains in elevated position by engaging the connected ends of the cords over a hook, as l0, or other suitable Vfastening device.V The 65. bag is. provided' with a central diagonal slit 9, through which the operators hand may pass to straighten out the-folds of the curtain in the bottom of the bag as the latter is raised and so prevent the curtains being rumpled By disposing the slit diagonally, as shown, all liability of the curtains catching on the edges of the opening and protruding is obviated, "since the pocket is self-closing.
When the sweeping is done, or when the room is once more opened up for occupancy, the bag is lowered and detached by any wellknown method, or the entire device may be removed from the window-frame by remov- 8O ing the tape and lifting the cords from the pulleys, and the curtains shaken out, having been completely protected from the dust and the usual rough handling incident on housecleaning. f
I do not limit my invention to a bag of any particular shape and size, as the dimensions of the bag and itsshape will often depend upon the shape of the window or the arrangement of the curtain or drapery.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl. The combination with a curtain or drapery, of a receiver including a receptacle closed at the bottom, ends, and sides-and open at the top, and pull-cords connected to the receptacle whereby saiddreceptacle is movable in the vertical plane of the drapery to progressively inclose, or uncover, the same as it is moved in relation thereto.
2. rlhe combination with avertically-pendent curtain or drapery, of a bag-like structure with closed sides, bottom and ends and unattached to the drapery, and means whereby the said structure is movable vertically to progressively inclose, or uncover, the drapery as it is moved in relation thereto.
3. The combination with a curtain or drapery, of a protector therefor comprising an open-mouth bag pen dent in the line of the curtain or drapery and means for raising and lowering the bag.
4. The combination with a curtain or drapery, of a protector therefor comprising an open-mouth bag pendent in the line of the curtain or drapery and means for raising and lowering the bag and for holding it at any desired elevation.
5. The combinationwith a curtain or drapery, of a protector therefor comprising an open-mouth bag pendent in the line of the curtain or drapery means for raising and lowering the bag, and means by which the open end of the bag is closed over the top of the curtain or drapery.
6. rlhe combination with a curtain or drapery, of a protector therefor comprising a pendent open-mouth bag, pull-cords for the same whereby the curtain or drapery is progressively inelosed by and evenly folded within the bag, and a support for said cords including a exible tape and rings secured thereto.
7. The combination with a curtain or drapery, of a protector therefor comprising a bag disposed in the line of the curtain or drapery and means for raising and lowering the bag, the latter having adiagonally-disposed slit in one side for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
