PHILLIPP DRINKAUS, SR,

OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

CURTAIN-FIXTURE To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Piiinnire DRlNKAUS, 512, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of lVayne ud State of Michigan, have invented ceispective of fixture embodying features of the invention. 1g. is a view in detail T bracket thereof. 3 is a similar view in detail, ot a modification ot the racket suitable for a middle support. Fig.

t is a view of a separate rod guide plate. tit'errmo; to the drawings, 1, 2 indicate brackets or wood. meal, or the like, adapted to be secured on each side of a window casing. The b. ickets have corresponding concave upper faces 3 at the bottom of which are a pair of downwardly extending grooves r and 5, the inner one 4 of which terminates above the outer one both forming guides and sockets for an inner rod (3 and outer rod respectively the concave faces 3 being so lisposcd that the rods, when placed on them roll down and drop into the gains. The latter preferably run into one opening having the width of a single gain, as shown in Fig. or they may be disposed in parallel relation as indicated in Fig. 3. In both instances the inner rod grooves t terminate above the outer rod groove 5 so that a horizontal row of buttons 8 or the like on the inner face of each bracket extends in from the lower ends of the outer groove beneath the inner groove, allo ving a curtain or drape on the outer rod to be turned in and hooked thereon beneath the inner rod, without conflicting with a curtain on the latter. l A. cornice front or shield 5'1 is detachably secured at the ends in gains 10 in the brackets i l so to conceal the rods 6 and 7, ornamental caps or heads 11 being afterward inserted in suitable dowel pin holes 12 or the ends 13 ot the shield may be extended through trans- I verse slots in the brackets as in Fig. 3 to j Specification of Letters Patent.

make a suitable finish. The latter form of bracket is also available for use in the center of a double window across which it is desired to carry a single cornice. in such c0nstruction the rod grooves or gains l and 5 are either extended entirely through the bod of the bracket or else a pair is formed on each of the bracket sides to accommodate the rods of each window. Instead of formin the groove, gains or guides in the body ot the brackets, they may be made as indicated in Fig. 4 in suitable ribs 1% on a plate 15 which is attached to the side of the bracket.

3y this construction a. suitable combined lambrequin and curtain holder and cornice obtained which may be readily taken down or remounted without the use of tools, and which is ornamental and easily made. l urthermore, the inner rod being used for the inner curtain and the outer rod being in tended :tor the lambrequin, drop curtain or outer drapery to slip over, there is no need of buttons or hooks on the cornice front or shield, and this enables the lambrequin or drop curtain to be placed on the rod and the latter then raised up into place.

Obviously, changes in the details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and I do not care to limit myself to any particular form or arrangement of parts.

hat I claim as my invention is 1. A curtain fixture comprising brackets having concave upper guide surfaces terminating in gains extending partly down the inner faces of the brackets, a horizontal row of curtain supporters extending from the lower end of each outer gain below the inner gain, rods removably seated in the said gains, a horizontal row of curtain supporters in the inner tace of each bracket and a front shield detachably interlocking at its ends with the brackets.

2. A curtain fixture comprising brackets having recesses in the outer ends and having concave upper guide surfaces terminating in gains extending partly down the inner faces of the brackets, a horizontal row of curtain supporters extending from the lower end of each outer gain below the inner gain, rods removably seated in the said gains, and a. front shield removably secured at its ends in the recesses in the brackets.

3. A curtain fixture comprising brackets adapted to be secured to a window casing,

Cir

the proximate faces of the bracket having gains extending from their upper edges partially across the faces toward the lower edges, and the upper faces having concave guide surfaces from whose lowest points the gains open, a horizontal row of curtain supporters extending from the lower end of each outer gain below the inner gain, rods detachably seated in the gains, and a shield strip removably secured at its ends to the brackets in front of the rods.

i. A curtain fixture comprising brackets having recesses in their outer ends and adapted to be secured to a window casing, the proximate faces of the bracket having gains extending from their upper edges partially across the faces toward the lower edges, and the upper faces having concave guide surfaces from whose lowest points the gains open, a horizontal row of curtain supporters extending from the lower end of each outer gain below the inner gain, rods 'detachably seated in the gains, and a shield strip whose ends are removably seated in the recesses in the brackets in front of the rods.

5. A curtain fixture comprising brackets having upper concave surfaces with a pair of gains extending down the inner faces of the brackets from the lowest partof the con cave surfaces, the inner gains terminating above the outer gains, a horizontal row of curtain supporters extending from the lower end. of each outer gain below the inner gain, rods removably seated in the said gains, and a front shield detachably interlocking at its ends with the brackets.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
