Description

PATENTBD JULY 16, 1907.
J. W. FREEMAN. CURTAIN POLE.
APPLIOATION FILED MAR. 16, 1907.
JOSEPH \VILLIAM FREEMAN, OF LUCASVILLE, OHIO.
CURTAIN-POLE Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 16, 1907.
Application filed March 16. 1907. Serial No. 362,637.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH WILLIAM FREEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lucasville, in the county of Scioto and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain- Poles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is a curtain pole and has for its object an extensible pole, together with improved means for fastening the curtain thereto.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the retaining strip hereinafter referred to. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the pole showing the initial position of the retaining strip. Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing the final position of the retaining strip within the pole.
Referring specifically to the drawing, the pole 5 is tubular, being made of sheet metal and cylindrical in form. The pole is slotted lengthwise as at 6, and at one edge of said slot is a continuous upstanding flange 7 which is formed by bending said edge upwardly into the pole.
At 8 is indicated a retaining strip around which the top edge of the curtain is adapted to be looped or folded as indicated at 10. The strip is made of sheet metal which is folded or doubled to obtain the necessary stiffness.
The curtain is hung on the pole by folding its top edge over the top of the retaining strip 8 as shown in Fig. 2. The strip with the curtain thereon is then inserted into the pole through the slot 6 as shown in Fig. 3 and turned over behind the flange 7 as shown in Fig. 4. When in this position the curtain is securely held in place, any pull on it causing its folded end to bind between the strip 8 and the flange 7. The curtain can be readily removed by reversing the operation just described. A curtain fastened to the pole in this manner requires no pins or other fastening means and can be readily put up and taken down without danger of injury. The invention is therefore especially adapted for fine lace curtains which are frequently subject to injury upon being secured to a curtain pole by the ordinary curtain pins. To adapt the pole for windows and curtains of different widths it has at its ends telescoping extension pieces 11 which are fitted with ornamental knobs 12.
I claim A tubular curtain pole having a longitudinal slot through which the curtain enters the pole, a flange inside the pole adjacent the slot, and a strip behind the flange around which the curtain is looped.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
.TOSEPII \VILLIAM FREEMAN.
