WINDOW-SHADE-ROLLER FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 10, 1909.

Application filed November '27, 1908. Serial No. 464,622.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ANGA MoCANNE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Greene, State of Missouri, have invented. certain new anduseful Improvements in Window-Shade-R oller Fixtures and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of vide a simply constructed device which may be applied to windows of various widths, and

by means of which shade rollers of various lengths may be applied without structural changes therein.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a front view of a portion of a window casing and frame, with the improved devices a plied. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. ig. 3 is a perspective view of the portion of the improved device which is attached permanently to the window casing. Fig. 4 1s a perspective view of one of the roller supporting brackets. Fig. 5 isa perspective view of the blank from which the right hand roller bracket is formed. Fig. 6 is a erspective view of the blank from which the left hand roller bracket is formed.

The improved device comprises two su porting portions adapted to be permanent y attached to the window casing at opposite sides, and roller supporting brackets adjustably engaging the permanent supports. The permanent supporting portions are precisely alike, while the brackets are likewise duplicates except that they are arranged in pairs, one bracket of each pair provided with a slot to receive the flat pin of the shade roller, and the other bracket provided with a circular socket or bearing to receive the round pin of the roller.

The supporting portions of the device being precise y alike the description of one will sufiice for both. Each supporting device is formed from a single iece of metal, preferably of sheet metal, ob ong in shape and with a longitudinal slot formed therein, whereby spaced guide bars 1011 are formed and bent laterally at the ends to form end members 1213, the latter provided with apertures to receive the ho ding screws 14L15 or other fastening means. By this arrangement the bars 10-11 are maintained in spaced relations from each other, and likewise spaced from the adjacent face of the casing represented at 16. Directed inwardly from the bars 1011 are studs 1718, preferably with one edge at right angles to the bars and the other edge inclined, as shown.

The roller supporting brackets, as above noted, are'substantially alike and consist of the body portions 19, a central tongue 20 extending from one end and spaced side tongues 2122 opposite the central tongue 20. Apertures 2324 are formed between the central tongue and the side tongues, and

the side tongues are adapted to be bent at right angles to the body of the bracket, as shown. The central tongue 20 is of suflicient width to substantially fill the space between the bars l011 and to bear against the studs 17-18 when the bracket is arranged at' right angles to the bars, and when thus arranged the apertures 23-24 engage over the bars with the right angled tongues 2122 bearing against the inner faces of the bars. By this arrangement it will be obvious that the brackets may be adjusted longitudinally of the bars and adapted to be supported rigidly at right angles to the bars, as shown. By this simple means the brackets may be adjusted to adapt the improved device to curtain rollers of various lengths within the range of the guide bars. One of the brackets is provided with an open slot 25 to receive the flat pin 26 of the curtain roller 27, while the other bracket is provided with a circular aperture or bearing 28 to receive the round pin 29 of the roller, as shown.

When it is desired to adjust the brackets, the latter are turned inwardly to bring the inner faces of the brackets parallel to the 1 bars l011, which movement will release the tongue 20 from its position between the bars and enable the bracket to be moved longitudinally of the bars to the desired position, and then by again arranging the bracket at right angles to the bars, the tongue 20 will pass between the bars and against the next opposite pair of the projeca c What is claimed, is:

1. A shade roller support comprising guide bars s aced apart and provided with studs extending inwardly from their confronting edges, and brackets having sockets near one end for receiving shade roller bearings, each bracket having a central tongue adapted to extend between the guide bars and into the spaces between the studs and with spaced side tongues bent at right angles to the brackets and bearing over the outer edges and the inner faces of the guide bars, whereby the brackets may be adjusted longitudinally of the guide bars.

2( A shade roller su port comprising a metal late provided witli a longitudinal slot where y spaced guide bars are formed, the guide, bars having inwardly extending studs with a central tongue adapted to extend between the guide bars and into the spaces between the studs and spaced side tongues bent at right angles to the brackets and bearing over the outer edges and the inner faces of the guide bars.

3. A shade roller support comprising guide bars s aced apart and provided with studs exten ing inwardly from their confronting edges, and brackets having sockets near one end for receiving shade roller bearings, each bracket having a central tongue adapted to extend between the guide bars and into. the spaces between the studs and with spaced clefts communicating with spaced apertures to produce inwardly directed tongues, the last mentioned tongues being bent at right angles to the bracket and bearing over the outer edges and against the inner faces of the guide bars.

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

ANGA MCOANNE.
