Application filed. October 21, 1907. Serial No. 398,445.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RUDOLPH A. BREITEN- 'FELD, a citizen of the United States, residing tain Adjusters, of which the following is a.
specification.
My invention relates to an improved and adjustable method for attaching a shade roller of the ordinary spring acting type, and :1 ourtain rod to the shade and curtain adjuster described in my Letters Patent Number-865,007, issued September third, 1907.
My improvement is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure. 1 is an isometric projection of the vertical adjusting elements described in my former patent above noted, and showing in addition, the adjustable bracket device for attaching the shade roller and curtain rod to the vertical adjuster, and a shade roller and curtain rod. Fig. 2 is an isometric projection of the adj ustable'bracket device. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of an improved device for attaching the free spindle of the shade roller to the bracket. Fig. -l is an isometric projection of the free spindle end of the shade roller, with the free spindle and its fastening device in position. Fig. 5 is a front view of a portion of awindowcasing, with my improved shade and curtain adjuster attached to front face of easing. Fig. 6 is a front view of a portion of a window casing, with my improved shade and curtain adjuster attached to the inner face of easing. Fig. 7 is a side view of the elements shown in Fig. 5, the view being taken from the interior of the casing.
In the several views A is the base plate of the adjuster, along which a hollow sliding block B is vertically guided by grooves. This block B can be adjusted to various heights, carrying the shade roller and curtain rod with it. Block B is secured at any given vertical height by a ratchet spring X, within block B making contact with one of the ratchet notches E E in base plate A. A partial rotation of rod C, by the action of cam Y releases ratchet spring.\ for loweringshade roller and curtain rod.
My improved defiee for attaching the shade roller and curtain rod to the adjuster is shown by Fig. 2, and consists of a portion F, preferably of open side square section, formed as part of which are the projecting arms and H. The preferred construction for these arms is that shown, in which G, which carries the curtain rod I, projects beyond and above II, which carries the shade roller J, thus allowing the shade K to hang between the .curtain L and the window, and close to the latter, as shown by Fig. 'Z..
As shown by Fig. 2, the curtain support arm G has at its outer end a vertical pro ect ing pin N, a similar )in M being formed on the outer end of the shade support arm H.
The curtain rod is provided with two diametral holes, through each of which projects one of the vertical pinsN, thus holding the curtain rod in fixed relation with regard to the attaching device, and therefore with the adjuster, as shown by Figs..1, 5, 6 and 7.
. The spring spindle of the shade roller may be attached to the pin M by one of the clips 0, Fig. 1, illustrated in my Patent Number An improved method for securing the free 3 )indle end of the shade roller to the bracket, F ig. 2, is shown by Figs. 3 and 4 in which the flattened piece P has formed as part of it the spindle Q, projecting through and workin freely in a sleeve R. The spindle Q is heade at its end S, so that it-can not pass through sleeve R.
A hole U is provided in P, through which pin M of bracket II passes, as shown by Fig. 4. Formed as part of sleeve R are radial arms V, each of which is formed in a point T parallel to axis of sleeve R. In assembling, these points'l are driven into the end of shade roller J, as shown by Fig. 4, so that the axis of shade roller J coincides with axis of spindle Q, a ferrule 'W preventing splitting of shade roller, and 'a central hole in end of roller allowing clearance for spindle Q and' sleeve R.
The free spindle device is an improvement on that illustrated in my Patent Number 865,007, in that itis better adapted to manufacturing methods, and easier to assemble.
By the use of the bracket device shown by H to G ll, Fig. 1, bv witlnlrawing the por-,
tion F from its socket in block B, turning it through 90 degrees and again inserting it in j formed in the upper end thereof, with a plug socket. This improvement therefore necessi ates but a single con truction of the vertica adjusting device, in order to make it ap- 5 plicable to either of the described locations on the window casing.
ll lule'the brac et construction described having the squared POI'UOD F, arranged to fit a square socket is )referred, 1 do not desire 10 to be limited to this particular form, as am' plug and socket design which will allow the plug of the bracket to be. locked in 90degree posit-ions will attain the same result.
I do not, therefore, wish to limit myself to 5 the precise forms and construct-ions shown,
but
Having described this form of my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. The combination, in a shade and curtain adjuster, of a vertically guided and adjustable block B having a square socket fitt ng said-socket, and arms G and H ending in pins N and M formed as part of said plug, substantially as described.
2. In a shade and curtain adjuster, the combination of a "ertically adjustable element having a socket therein, a plug ada )ted to said socket, and so formed as to loc in ninety degree positions, with shade and curtain supporting arms forme as part of said )lu and endin in vertical )ins.
3. In a shade and curtain adjuster, the
combination of a vertically guided and adjustable block B, a double armed bracket adjustable to ninety degree positions attached thereto, with a shade roller end formed of spindle piece P Q, sleeve R, radial arms and attaching )oints T.
