CURTAIN POLE FIXTURE. APPLICATION rum) JULY 18, 1905.
Witnesses;
FREDERICK NEWELL MARTINDALE, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.
CURTAIN=POLE FIXTURE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. April 17', 1906.
- Application filed July 18, 1905. Serial No. 270,211.
T0 all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK NEwELL MARTINDALE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Curtain-Pole Fixture, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to curtain-poles.
The object of the invention is to provide a novel and simply-constructed form of head or knob for curtain-poles which may readily be positioned upon the pole and be held thereon by frictional contact with the eX- terior thereof, the construction of the article being such as that the employment of screws or internal pole-engaging elements will be not only obviated, but rendered entirely unnecessary.
With the above and other objects in view, as will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction and combination of parts of a knob or head for curtain-poles, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawmgs, forming a.
part of this specification, and in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a view in side elevation, exhibiting a portion of a curtain-pole with a head or knob constructed in accordance with the present invention combined therewith, Fig. 2 is a perspective detail view of the form of head or knob shown in Fig. 1.
The article embodies in its construction an ornamental head. or knob (designated generally 1) and a pole-socket, (designated generally 2.)
The head or knob 1 may be of the orna- .mental type shown or be an ordinary ball or globe, such as is commonly employed, and may be formed in any suitable manner, as by being cast or spun up from sheet metal in the usual manner. The pole-socket Zmay be integral with the head or be secured thereto and consists of a length of cylindrical metal tubing divided into a plurality of poleclamping elements 3 by longitudinal incisions or slits 4, which may extend throughout any preferred length of the socket. To give a finished effect to the socket, the terminals of the clamping elements are preferably rounded, so that they will when combined with the pole present a fluted appearance. In order to increase the frictional contact between the pole-socket and the pole P, each clamping element is provided with one or more inward-projecting teats or teeth. 5, which,
as will be readily understood, will bite into the wood of the pole, and thus accentuate the stability of the coaction between the clamping elements and the pole.
It will be noted that the clamping elements are disposed eXteriorly of the head or knob and project when combined with the pole in the direction of the length thereof, and by this arrangement of the said elements in case the contact between them and the pole is not sufiiciently firm these elements may be fieXed or bent inward to cause them to contact with the pole with the desired degree of firmness.
A feature of advantage inherentin the head or knob of this invention is that the polesocket may be made of such length that when positioned upon the pole and the curtain or drapery is combined therewith the pole will have the appearance of being made of brass, and this fact will be highly appreciated by people of moderate circumstances who desire but cannot afford to have brass curtain-poles.
While it will generally be preferred to have an ornamental head or knob combined with the pole-socket, it is to be understood that this is not essential, as it may be omitted without departing from the scope of the in vention, and as this will be obvious detailed illustration of such modification is deemed unnecessary.
Having thus described the invention, is claimed is As a new article of manufacture, a head or knob for curtain-poles having a cylindrical pole socket projecting therefrom of like cross-diameter throughout its entire length and incised longitudinally to form a plurality of resilient clamping elements each of which is provided with an inward-projecting tooth or prong formed of the metal of the element.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afliXed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
FREDERICK NEWELI; MARTINDALE.
