ALBERT M. LIVELSBERGER, OF KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR OF ONETHIRD TO GEORGE A. SCHODORF, OF KILLBUCK, OHIO.

cu RTAIN-FIX'IQ'URE'.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 1'7, 1906.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT M. LIvELs- BERGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kalamazoo, in the county of Kalamazoo, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ourtain-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in curtain-fixtures.

The objects of this invention are, first, to provide an improved combination curtain or shade roller and curtain-pole support second, to provide an improved curtain or shade roller support which may be adjusted to accommodate rollers of varying lengths, and, third, to provide an improved curtain-fixture which is simple and economical in structure and very easily attached and adjusted.

Further objects and objects relating to structural details will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure embodying the features of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a detail elevation of a structure embodying the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged View of one of the wall-plates B with a curtain or shade roller bracket 0 in position thereon. Fig. 8 is a section taken on a line corresponding to line 3 3 of Fig. 2, with the curtain-pole bracket D in position. Fig. 4 is a detail transverse section taken on a line corresponding to line 4 4 of Fig. 2 the curtainpole bracket D being shown in position. Fig. 5 is a detail rear elevation of the plate B with the curtain or shade roller bracket O in position.

In the drawings the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section-lines, and similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the upper portion of a window-casing with my improved, curtain -fixture in position thereon. The wall-plate .B is formed of a single piece of sheet metal having a longitudinal slot B therein dividing the same into bars I). At each end the plate is turned inwardly to form the bases-0r feet B, which are suitably perforated to receive the securingscrews 8. The bars of the vided with notches b, which makes the bars I) rack-bars, having relatively long teeth or serrations. The rollerbracket 0 is also formed of sheet metal and is provided with extensions or projections on its rear end which may be slipped into the notches b of the rackbars, as clearly appears from the drawings. The bracket C is provided with laterallyturned fingers c on its rear end, which engage the rear faces of the rack-bars. By thus forming the parts the brackets C may be adjusted longitudinally on the wall-plate simply by inserting in the desired slots or notches b. It is evident that this may be done very quickly.

The curtain-pole bracket D is provided with a pair of rearwardly-projecting s ringarms D D, adapted to embrace the rac bars of the wall-plate. The rear ends of these arms are turned inwardly, as at d d. It is evident that the curtain-pole bracket can be quickly attached or detached from the wallplate. It is also evident that it does not in any manner interfere with the curtain or shade roller bracket C.

I have described one only of my improved fixtures, although in practice I preferably employ two for each window. One of my improved detachable fixtures could, however, be utilized with a fixed bracket for one end of the curtain or shade roller.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of a wall-plate formed of a single plate of sheet metal, having a horizontal slot therein, and a pair of upwardlyfacing ofiset racks thereon; a roller-bracket having a pair of rearwardly-projecting rackengaging members, provided with laterallyturned In S or fingers at their rear ends and a pole-brac et having a pair of spring-arms, said arms having inturned rear ends adapted to embrace the racks of said wall-plate, for the purpose specified.

2. The combination of a wa1l-plate formed of a single plate of sheet metal, having a horizontal s 0t therein, and a pair of upwardly-facing offset racks thereon; and a plate are pro' roller-bracket having a pair of rearwardlyprojecting rack-engaging members, provided with laterally-turned lugs or fingers at their rear ends, for the purpose specified.

3. The combination of a wall-plate having a pair of upwardly-facing offset racks thereon; a roller-bracket having a pair of rearwardlyprojecting rack-enga ing members, provided with laterall -turne lugs or fingers at their rear ends; and a pole-bracket having a pair of spring-arms, said arms having inturned rear ends adapted to embrace the racks of said wall-plate, for the purpose specified.

4. The combination of a wall-plate having a pair of upwardly-facing ofiset racks thereon; and a roller-bracket having a pair of rearwardly-projectin rack-engaging members, provided with aterally-turned lugs or fingers at their rear ends, for the purpose specified.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two witnesses.
