*ov-dl m. mais :armed w in um@ nimmrasem and making pm mgm To al1 who/mit may concern.- A y I Be it known that I, BnNJAMm Moens, of Brooklyn,

" inthe eonntyof Kings, and State of New York, have invented 'a new and improved Window-Shade Fixture;

and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, dear,fand exact description thereof, which will enable nthens-sklledcin the nrt to make use the same, 'i reference Ibeng had to the accompanying drawings,

turnediwhen it is high4 or low.

The invention consists in the arrangement of parts, as will behereinavfter more fullydeserihed. y

A, in the drawing, represents 'a suitable windowframe. l

Bis the shade-roller.

O, the shade.

Around the' ends ot' the roller B are loosely iitted two sleeves, a a', which are suspended, by means of --ropes D E, respectively, from .pulleys l) c d, 'that are' also fitted to the frame A.

. The cord D is fastened to one sleeve, a, passes over the toproller c, then down towards and over the lower' roller d, and has its other end then also fastened to the sleeve a. I

The other cord, E,vis stened with one end to the other sleeve, a', passes then over the pulleysb and c,

as shown, and is finally either fastened to the othery rope, D, or fitted around d, and secured to the sleeve a.

' The roller B is thus 'suspended in the sleeves a a'-,

and con be raised and lowered by moving the cords- D E together in the desired dire'etion. Within these sleeves the rollervean freely'- i,

F is arrendless cord fitted around two rollers e andf, as shown, and coiled once around the roller B, as in fig. 2. It will, when it is pulled, cause the shade-roller to revolve in its supports a a', thereby winding or unwinding the curtain.

One of the rollers, c or d, should loe up-nnd-down adjustable, to keep the cords DE always tense. Thos, by Ineens ofthe ropes DE, the roller can lie-raised or lowered et will, so as to bringthe sheds opposite any desired part of the window. Time, for example,^the

upper port of the window can be left open, es showinA and only the lower part or the middle covered.

Bymeansof 'the cord F, the' curtain con be wound around or unwound from the roller, iu whatever posi tion the latter may be.

' Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The arrangement ofjthe cords D E, passing laround the pulley d, and Isecured to the curtain-sleeve a, incombination with the pulleys cb, curtain-sleeve @and the cord and pulleys F ef, :is herein described, for the purpose speeied rlhe above specificetionof -my invention signed by v
