WIND OW-FIXTURE.

1 Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 18, 1908. Serial No, 416,525.

Patented June 8, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS J. CoRKEN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Wilmerding, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Fixtures, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawin This invention relates to window tures and more particularly to a combined curtain pole and shade roller support.

The primary object of my invention is to provide a novel fixture for adjustably supporting a curtain pole and shade roller.

Another object of my invention is to provide a simple, durable and inexpensive fixture that can be easily installed in connection With a window frame for supporting curtains.

A further object of this invention is to obviate the necessity of using a step ladder for removing a curtain pole or shade roller from a window frame.

A still further object of this invention is to rovide a fixture that can be easily manipulated to regulate the light admitted by a window.

With these and other objects in view, which will'more readily appear as the invention is better understood, the same consists of a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be presently described and then specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my fixture. Fig. 2 is a lan of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation.

ig. 4 is a similar vlew partly in section. Fig. 5 is an enlarged end view of one of the frames forming part of my invention. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a curtain pole clasp, and Fig. 7 is a erspective view of a portion of a curtain p0 e.

In the accompanying drawings 1 designates a window frame, provided with slotted brackets 2 for adjustable arms 3, these arms bein adjusted through the medium of revoluble eyelets 4. The arms 3 are provided with bearin s 5 for spring drum 6 having grooved pu eys or sheaves 7 at its ends, one of the said sheaves being provided with outwardly extending pins or protuberances 8. Adapted to engage these pins is a pivoted dog 9, carried by one of said bearings, the dog being manipulated by a depending cable 10. The object of this dog is to lock the spring drum from rotation. The spring drum is similar to an ordinary curtain shade roller, wherein dogs 11 are employed for retaining the spring under tension.

Attached to the sheaves 7 and adapted to Wind thereon are belts or stra s 12, these belts or straps carrying meta ic resilient clips 13, for supporting a curtain pole 14. The clips 13 are provided with diametrically opposed openings 15 to receive the ends of pins 16 mounted in the pole 14. The pole 14 can be provided with curtain rings 17 for supporting curtains or drapery 18.

The window frame between the brackets 2 is provided with brackets 19 for a spring drum 20 having sheaves 21, similar to the sheaves 7. The operation of the spring drum 20 is controlled through the medium of a dog 22 and the cable 23.

Attached to the sheaves 21 are belts or straps 24, these belts or straps being attached to auxiliary brackets 25, slidably mounted upon guide rods 26, fixed to the window frame 1 in close proximity to the brackets 19. The auxiliary brackets 25 supporting a shade roller 27 of a conventional form.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings, it will be observed that I have devised a novel fixture for adjustably su porting a curtain pole and curtain shade rol er, and while I have herein described a preferred form of construction, I reserve the right to make such changes in my invention as are permissible by the appended claims.

Having now described my invention what I claim as new, is

1. The combination with a window frame 1 and a curtain pole provided with a plurality of pins, of a pair of brackets secured to the frame, a sprmg drum rotatably carried by said brackets, sheaves upon the drum, belts attached to said sheaves, and adapted to Wind thereon a clasp connected to eacli of the belts and provided with openingsada ted to receive the pins on the pole where by longitudinal movement of the pole is prevented, and means for limiting the movement of said drum.

2. A curtain pole support comprising the construction with'a curtain pole, of a pair of adjustable brackets adapted to be fixed to a frame, a spring drum mounted in said brackets, sheaves carried by said drum, 5 supportthe pole, and means for limiting belts attached to said sheaves and adapted the movement of said drum. 10 to Wind thereon, olasps carried by said belts In testimony whereof I aflix my signature for connecting the pole to the latter, said in the presence of two witnesses.

clasps provided With openings, means ear- THOMAS J. CORKEN.
