ANNIE MARR, OF INVEROARGILL, NEW ZEALAND.
CURTAIN-POLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 2, 1908.
Application filed September 18, 1905. Serial No. 278,999.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANNIE MARR, a British subject, and resident in Invercargill, in the British Colony of New Zealand, married woman, have invented new and useful Imrovements in and Relating to Curtainoles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to curtain poles, in particular to means for raising and lowering the poles so that the curtains can be attached or detached from the pole by a person on the floor without the necessity of obtaining or mounting a ladder or the like.
The invention provides a device which is more advantageous than those at present known, inasmuch as it is more simple of con struction and manipulation, the working parts are practically hidden from view, therey making the apparatus more sightly in a room and means are provided for placing the poles on supports when drawn up so as to relieve the cords of the weight of the pole and curtains.
The invention consists of these features and in the combination andarrangement of arts hereafter described all more particuarly pointed out in the claim.
It will be readily understood that besides the above object gained by the invention it provides a speedy means of lowering curtains should they catch fire, it prevents accidents with steps and ladders, also the hood or other parts may be made as plain or ornamental as desired.
' In the accompanying drawings the same reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts.
Figure 1 is a front view of the invention with the pole lowered. Fig. 2 is a plan of the invention. .Fig. 3 is 'a cross sectional view taken through the center of Fig. 2.
There is a fixture such as a cornice, over window or hood (1) which is adapted to be placed in a desired position and which may be made plain or ornamental. Pulleys (2) (3) (4) are mounted in the hood (1). A hauling cord (5) has one end attached to the pole (6) at (7) and its free end is passed over the pulleys (2) and (3) and brought down by the side of the window to a suitable position.
Another hauling cord (8) has one end attached to the pole (6) at (9) and its free end is passed over the pulley (4) and brought down by the side of the window next the other cord. The cords (5) and (8) are of suitable length so that when the pole is lowered the free ends of the cords are at a convenient height for manipulation from the ground and the cords can be secured by a holdfast (10). The foregoing indicates the parts used in raising and lowering the pole ut in order to take the weight of the ole and curtains ofl the cords when the po e is raised, brackets (11) are placed under or attached to the hood (1). To provide means to place the pole on or remove it from the brackets one end of a cord (18) is attached to the middle of the pole (6) the other end being passed up through a hole or eye (19) in the hood (1) near'the front edge and down through a hole or eye (13) to a convenient osition. When the pole (6) is to be reeased from the brackets (11) it is raised by the cords (5) and (8) the cord (18) is then pulled which action draws the pole forward clear of the brackets (11) as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3. The pulleys (2) and (4) being placed vertically over the brackets (11) it naturally follows that when drawn u the pole will come into a position suitab e for lowering directly into the brackets (11).
I do not confine myself to the particular shape of the various parts in the drawings,
but any other forms and materials which will answer my purpose may be used.
Having now described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is In combination, a cornice or hood, pulleys carried thereby, a curtain pole, a pair of cords attached to said pole and passing over the pulleys, brackets for supporting said pole, the arms of the brackets extending out beyond the vertical plane of the pulleys so that the pole when raised will fall in said brackets and a third cord for pulling said pole out of the brackets substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses, this twentyfirst day of August 1905.
ANNIE MARE.

CHARLES HENRY RoBER'rs, EDWIN DU'RRY.
