Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Get. 12, 1909.

Application filed September 2, 1908. Serial No. 451,332.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we. CONSTAN'HKIC Donavon ant Hester? A. Tarnon, both eili Zens of the United States, and residents of lilorris, Illinois, hare invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Window Curtain Fielding ldechanisnn of which the following a full and correct specification, reference being had to the hereto accompanying; sheet out"drawings forming a part hereof, and in which- Figure 1 shows on; said construction in top plan View, the window frame being out by a. horizontal plane below the top of the window-frame showing the sash below it, and the wall in section on each vertical sashedge. Fig. 2 shows the two window-sash and a fragment of the wall beyond, the near part of the wall being removed. liig. shows a detail oi a part of our mechanism.

Like reference letters denote like parts throughout.

Our object is to construct a curtain-holding mechanism in which the upper sash car-- ries the curtaiii-supporting mechani. n, that the curtain may be adjustable to and trom the plane of the sash as well as in the three tion of its axis, and both upward and downward. To attain said desirable ends we construct our said new device in, substantially the following manner, namely:

At the top of the upper and outer or rearsash we attach a pair of tubular posts 0 which reach inward beyond the inner sash 7), and beyond the windowazasing. Said posts are provided with bases 1: which screwed to the sash a, as shown, and into said hollow posts are passed adjustable right-angled arms which point horizontally and from each other butwhich may also point toward each other, or both may point in the same direction thus giving great latitude in placing a curtain, and on said horizontal parts of said arms are placed short sleeves c whereof one is provided with an arm c and the other with an arm 0 the former to receive the roumlcd end of a ClllflilllklOllOl axle and the other a rm to receive the flattened end or marrotatable end of a curtain-roller axle. .The arm is provided with opposit'enotchcs r" For the purpose of supplying anoteh for any position of the many in which said parts may be placed. Set-screws on the posts r; and sleeves e hind the parts to their respectively ad jusl'ed places. lhe right angled arms d are square in cross-section and the hollows of the parts 0 and 0 correspond therewith because the structure is then more easily operated than if said parts were round, but the results aimed at by us would be identical in either case. 'The curtainroller 5 curtain l1. and axle-ends f and f are all of a familiar variety.

5y means of our said construction the curtain roller may be lowered down to the top oi the sash Z) and ventilation obtained in that way wl'iereby the curtain is out of the way oi the wind and so saved from its injury thereby.

lVhat we claim is:

The combination with a window-sash provided with hollow studs, of right-angled arms in said studs, said arms, reversible to opposite directions, in the same horizontal plane, adjustable sleeves on said arms, said sleeves adjustable parallel to the plane of the sash and curtain-roller holding mechanon said sleeves.
