THOMAS 1*. BYRON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO WILLIAM B. LEDDY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

DRAPERY-FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 23, 1907.

Application filed July 10, 1905. Serial No. 263,950.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, 'lHoMAs F. BYRON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Drapery-Fixture, of which the following is a l specification.

My invention relates particularly to drapery fixtures adapted for use in connection with dressers, and the like; and my primaryobject is to provide cheap and simple fixtures which may be readily employed without injury to the chamber walls.

My invention is illustrated in its prefeired embodiment in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a broken perspective view of a dresser and drapery fixtures designed for use in connection therewith; Fig. 2, a perspective view of one portion of the hanger shown in Fig. l, in reversed position; and Fig. 3, a broken rear perspective view of the dresser and one of the bracket arms connected therewith.

In the drawing, A represents a dresser equipped with standards A supporting a mirror A B, a pair of bracket arms connected with the standards A; B a hanger having an adjustable bracket-arm B and B drapery, or a throw, supported by the bracket-arms B, B

Each bracket-arm B comprises a forwardly projecting arm b terminating in an ornamental end I), and an inturned end b forming substantially a right-angle with the arm b. Each arm b is provided with a series of screw-receiving perforations b and each arm is connected with a standard A by screws 1). Each arm I) is provided with nicks, or cuts, 1), enabling the arm to be broken off so as not to interfere with the mirror when the bracket-arms B are adjusted to lessen:the distance between them.

The hanger comprises preferably a bar I) equipped at its upper end with a hook I) and provided with a plurality of perforations b and the bracket B having a horizontal member b and a brace member b The member I) has an ornamental front end I) and is equipped at its rear end with a loop b slidable upon the vertical member I). The brace member b has a vertical portion b at its lower inner end which is adapted to bear against the vertical member b and which is equipped with a stud 1) adapted to enter any desired one of the perforations b Thus, ready adjustment of the bracket B is provided for. In the illustration shown, the hook b is shown in engagement with the molding C of a chamber wall. However, the member b may be supported on a hook, or it may be secured at its lower end by means of screws to the upper portion of the mirror frame.

It will be observed that different effects in the drapery may be secured by adjusting the brackets B and the bracket B with relation to each other.

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

A hanger for the purpose set forth, comprising a vertical member provided at its upper end with a molding hook and having a plurality of perforations, and a bracket comprising a horizontal member slidably connected with said vertical member and a brace-member having a pin adapted to enter any desired perforation.

THOMAS F. BYRON.
