ECTR F. MARCEAU, OF EAST HARY'EFOBD, .CONNECTICUT CURTAIN-SUPPORT.
specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 14., 1909.
Application -led June 22, 1909. Serial No. 503,622.
To aZZwhO/m it may concern: j n
Be it known that I, ECTon F. MARCEAU, a citizen of the United States, residin at East Hartford, in the county of Hartiord and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Curtain-Supports, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an article which is designed t0 be removably attached to a window or door casing for the purpose of supporting sash and drapery curtains and portires.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple and convenient article which can be quickly attached to and removed from a door casing or window casing, at any height in such manner that it will hold firmly without marring any exposed portion of the wood-l work of the casing.
Figure l of the accompanying drawings shows a portion of the upper part of a window sash and casing withl a support lelnbodying this invention applied to the casing. Fig. 2 shows a sectional view of the casing and sash and a plan of the curtain support. Fig. 8 shows on-larger scale a view looking at the back of one of the ends of the support. Fig. 4 shows a view of one of the ends of the support with the parts separated.
The body lof the support -is made of a tube of any desired` length, diameter and weight. This tube may be formed of brass or other metal, and may be polished, plated or treated, las necessary to give it the desired surface finish. Near each end the tube has a longitudinal slot 2, extending'laterally from which are one or more locking notches 8. Inserted into each end of the' tube is a sleeve 4 that has a head 5, by means of which it may be grasped and turned, and a projecting pin 6. The sleeve is thrust into the tube and the pin Amoved alongthe slot and turned into the -proper locking notch to` adjust the total length of the support to the width of the door casing or window cas? ing to which it is to be applied. v Extending through each sleeve is a rod 7. Fastened on the inner end of each rod is a washer 8,
.and thrusting between this washer and the end of the sleeve is a spiral spring 9. The outer end of the rod is bent backwardly and attached to a plate 10 having teeth 11.
In assembling this vstructure, the sleeves are'frst placed on the rods, then after the springs are slipped on the washers are appiled so as to provide bearings for the inner ends of the springs. The sleeves, rods and springs are then thrust intoy the ends of the tube and the sleeves turned so that the pins will engage with the proper locking notches, When the pins are turned into the notches, the sleeves cannot be and then any outward pull on the rods is resisted by the springs between the washers and the ends of the sleeves. With the parts assembled in this manner, 'the rods are drawn out and the teeth on the plates at the pulled from the tubes,V
ends are placed against the outer edges of the casing ofthe door or wlndow in connection with which the support isto be used.
A support made in this manner may be applied to the outer edges near the top of a door casing or a window casing, or atany height on a door or window casing, depending upon whether it is to be used to support a portire, rapery curtain or sash curtain. This support is easily and quickly applied where desired, and the tension of the springs draws the teeth into the outer edges of the casing in such manner that the support cannot t1p down, nor slide along the casing. This construction not only provides a ready and secure means for attaching the support to a window or door casing at any height, but also engages the casing in such manner that any exposed part of the-woodwork is not marred. A support arranged in this manner projects out in front of the casing so as to hold the curtain in a desired position, and it does not interfere with the free move- 'ment or use of a shade applied to the window.
l The invention claimed is:
1. A curtain support having a tube, sleeves adjustably connected'with the ends of the tube, rods extending through the sleeves, springs arranged between the ends of the rods and the ends of the sleeves, and plates applied to the ends of the rodsA and adapted to engage the outer edges of a casmeans at the end of the rod for engaging ing. A h the outer edge of a casing.
2. curtain support avn a tu e, a sleeve adjustably connected Wth the end ECTOR F MARCEAU, 5 of the tube, a rod extending through the Witnesses:
sleeve, a sprin thrusting between the end H. R. WILLIAMS, of the rod an the end of the sleeve, and JOSEPHINE M. STREMPFER.
