To' all whoin it may concern: I Be it known that we, AVERY M. TRUES- I DALE and ERNIE A. THOMPSON, citizens of I the United States, residing at Jefferson, in the county of Ashtabulaand State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Curtain and Shade Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

's invention relates to a curtain and shade holder of that ty e comprising a. pair l apted to be applied independently to the window casing so that they can be used in connection with win- The invention has for one of its objects to the construction of of substantial design and readily applied.

A further object of the invention is the brackets each comprising an integral struciu the desired position on the window frame without the use of special tools and in a A still further object is to provide a pair of upwardly extending arms that are curved laterally and upwardly from the shank )ortions so that the curtain can be ated between the arms on the curtain rod that is supported upon the extrempermit the curtain to be of greater width than the shade which is a curtain.

With these 0 jects in view and others as and arrangement of arts which will be more fully described ereinafter and set forth with particularity hereto.

window frame according to theusual is arranged a curtainrod 11 of In the eyes 7 ordinary form for supporting a curtain and since the distance "between the. brackets at greater of the bracket, the curtain can be stretched considthe terminal portions is considerabl than the distance between the sham erably wider than the shade so that the curtain will cover not only the shade but a portion of-the window frame, thus'adding to the appearance of the window andfurthermore, the curtain'will be hung from a .point somewhat above the shade. Since-the fastening screws are rigidly secured to the brackets, the latter can be quickly and convenientl pla'e byusing the bracket itsel as a handle or driver, thus enabling any one to secure the brackets without the aid of tools. The brackets .are of substantial construction and neat in appearance andcoiver so little of the'window' frame that they'do not have to be taken down in repainting the window frame.

From' the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing,

the advantages. .of the construction'will be readily understood and while we have described the principle of operation of the invention together with the device which we now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, we desire to have it understood that is merely illustrative and desired the device shown that such changes may be made when as are the scope of the claims.

Having thus described the invention, what we claim as new is 1. A bracket having a combined curtain and shade supporter comprising a-shank havidly secured to one end of the shank, an outwardly extending arm integrally connected with the shank at the opposite end and curving upwardly and laterally therefrom and provided with an eye at its extremity.

2. A bracket comprising a shank having recesses in one of its side surfaces and suitably spaced apart, a fastening device rigidly mg recessesin one of its side surfaces extendmg partially through the same, a screw rig secured to one end of the shank, an out- 15 wardly extending arm curved laterally and upwardly so as to be horizontally and vertically out of the plane of the shank and parallel therewith, the said shank forming a head to permit the fastening to be driven 20 into a support.

In testimony whereof, we aflEix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
