Patented Dec. 14, 1969. 413,930.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD GABEL, of I Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Combination Curtain and Shade Fixture, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has for its object the production of a particularly simple and effective fixture for supporting the contiguous portions of a curtain pole and a window shade; and to this end it consists in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawing in which like cha-racters designate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my fixture. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on line A-A, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the base member taken on line B4B, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view showing a modified means for securing parts of my fixture together.

This fixture includes a curtain pole bracket of the usual form consisting of an upright arm 1 and a horizontal arm 2 having a hookshaped outer end 3.

Supported upon the bracket arm l is a base member 4 having a transverse passage 5, and also an upwardly-extending arm 6 fixed to the arm l of the bracket by any desirable means, as a riveted lug 7, Fig. 2, formed integral with the arm 6. The back face of the base member 4 is provided with parallel shoulders 8 engaging the contiguous portions of the upright edges of the bracket arm 1.

A shade-supporting bar 9 slides longitudinally in the passage 5 and is formed with a forwardly-projecting extension having a journal 10 for the shade roller. The upper edge of this bar 9 is formed with suitable teeth 11 which are engaged by a depending tooth provided on one end of a locking' part or pawl 12 having its opposite end pivoted above the passage 5 upon the arm 6. The pivot for this locking part 12 may consist either of a riveted lug 13 formed integral with the arm 6, as seen in Fig. 2, or of a screw 14, Fig. 4, extending through, or engaged with, said arm 6.

A brace 15 is fixed at one end to the horizontal arm 2 of the curtain pole bracket,

l i l and is provided with a downturned ear 16 engaged with' the outer face of the arm 6 above the locking' part 12. Suitable fastening means serves to fix together the bracket arm 1, the arm 6, and the ear 16 of the brace 15. This fastening means may consist of riveted lugs 1T provided on opposite faces of the arm 6, as seen in Fic'. 2, or of a screw 18, Fig'. 4, 'extending' through said ear 15 and the arms 6 and 1.

T he fixture is secured to the window casing by nails or screws passing through per- .orated ears 19 (Figs. 1 and 2) into the easing.

That I claim is 1. In a curtain fixture, the combination of a curtain pole bracket, a fixed base member having a transverse passage, said base membei' being fixed to the bracket, a shade-supporting' bar slidable in the passage and provided with teeth, and a locking part pivoted to the base member and coacting with said teeth, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In a curtain fixture, the combination of a curtain pole bracket, a fixed base member having a transverse passage, said base member being fixed to the bracket and having shoulders engaged with the contiguous portions of the upright edges of the bracket, a shade-supporting bar slidable in the passage and provided with teeth, and a locking part pivoted to the base member and coacting with said teeth, substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. In a curtain fixture, the combination of a .curtain pole bracket, a fixed base member having' a transverse passage, said base member being fixed to the bracket and having' an upwardly projecting arm above the passage, a shade-supporting' bar slidable in the passage and provided with teeth, and a locking part pivoted to the upwardly rojecting arm and coacting with said teeth, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

4. In a curtain fixture, the combination of a curtain pole bracket, a fixed base member having a transverse passage, said base member having' an upwardly projecting' arm above the passage, a brace having one end secured to the horizontal arm of the bracket and its other end engaged with the upwardly projecting' arm of the base member, means for securing said bracket, base member and brace together, a shade-supporting bar slidable in said passage, and a locking part pivoted to the base member and coacting with said bar, substantially as and for I the purpose specified.

In a curtain fixture, the combination of a curtain pole bracket, a fixed base member having a transverse passage, said base inember having-its rear face provided with shoull ders engaging the side edges of the upright arm of the bracket, and said base member also having an upwardly projecting arm above the passage, a brace having one engl secured to the horizontal arm of the bracket and its other end engaged with the upwardly projecting arm of the base member, means for securing said bracket, base niem l ber and brace together, a shade-supporting bar slidable in said passage and provided with teeth, and a locking part pivoted to the upwardly projecting arm of the base member beneath the brace and coacting with said teeth, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two attesting witnesses, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, this 29th day of January, 1908.
