This invention relates to adjustablebraclc ets for supporting shade rollers and curtain poles, and the objects of my invention are, rst,.to provide novel brackets having pivoted supports for holding a curtain shade roller and a curtain pole; second, to obviate the necessity of using step ladders or similar structures placing curtains in position before-a window frame, al'c ove or doorway; and third, to provide a simple; durable and inexpensive window fixturecfor supporting curtains at any desired elevation;

I attain the above objects bya structure that will be presently described and then specifically pointed out in the appendedv clalms.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a bracket constructed in accordance with my invention, illustrating the same in a lowered or adjusted position by dotted lines, Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, and Fig. 3 is across sectional view taken on the-line ac-a; of Fig. 2.

To put my invention into practice, I provide a window frame or similar support 1 with a plate 2 having a central longitudinally disposed segment shaped rack?) having an aperture 4 at the upper end thereof for a purpose that will hereinafter appear.- The .plate 2 is secured to the window frame' or support 1 by screws 5, and when used inconnection with a window frame a plate .2," is mounted at each side thereofadjacent to the corner-pieces or cornice blocks of a window frame. i

Pivotally connectedto the rack 3 by a pin 6 passing through the aperture 4. thereof-is the bifurcatedend ofa channel shaped sup; port 7, said support having its outer; end bifurcated, enlarged and a'pertured' to receiveone of the pintles or ends 8 of a curtainpole 9, upon which curtains 10 can be hung and dra ed. 1

The support 7intermediate the ends thereof is provided with openings 16 to receive one of the pintles 17 of a curtain shade roller 18.

'I/Vith the support 7 in the position illustrated in dotted lines of Fig. 1 of the drawing, the curtain pole 9 and shade roller 18 can be easily placedin position, and if desired, supported in close proximity to the window frame or support 1. I My improvement presents a neat appearance in connection with a window frame and while in thedrawin forming a part of this application I have i ustrated the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that the same are susceptible to structural changes without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having now described myzinvention what I claim as new, is
