2lb all 'whom it ymay concern:

Be it known that ll, ZEPHIR J. Renner, a citizen ot the United States, residing at en' Bedford, in the county of Bristol and Estate of ldassachusetts, have invented .new and useful improvements in VVindoW-Cuiltain Brackets7 of which the following is a speciiication. y

This invention vrelates to Window curtain brackets, and has for an object to provide a bracket of this character which will be constructed so as to enable the` shade supporting element to be adjusted to accommodate ior its use in connection With Windonr frames olz various sizes and shade rollers of various sizes.

still further object of my invention is to provide a device of this character that will be so constructed -as to permit of the attachment of the shade upon the space between the side members of a Window trame or to assume a point upon the outer taf-.es ot the said side members.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent as the nature of the invention is bet ter set forth, and it Will be understood that changes within the scope oi. the claims may be resorted to without departing' from the spirit ot' the invention.

In the drawing7 forming a portion of this specification and in which like numerals ot' reference indicate similar parts in the sev.

Fie. 3 is an end view looking toward the arrouY in lig. 1 showing shade roller supporting means intended to be operatively positioned with the bracket shown in Fig. 1 -for supporting` the shade roller. Fig. 4 is a detail transverse section taken on the line ot Fi 2 showing shaderoller supporting means intended to be' operatively positioned with the bracket shown in Fig; l for supporting the shade roller..

'Referring now more particularly to the drawing, my improved Window curtain bracket comprises a plate or body portion l provided upon its loiver edge with a longitiulinally extending spaced .guide flange 2 and u pon its upper edge with a right angularlyextendingy flange or shoulderf beneath which is disposed a leaf spring 4 which .lies immediately above the guide iiange and in spaced relation thereto. The

plate or body portion 1 is provided atone end with a rightangularly disposed portion 5 which is adapted to be secured to one of the side faces of one of the side bars A oi' a Window traine. The plate or body portion 1 is provided With an outwardlyiextending shade roller supporting element or arm 6 having a portion 7 disposed in spaced relation to the portion 5 of the `plate or body portion-1. The portion 7 as shown in Fig. 1 has formed therein a vertically disposed elongated slot- 8 arranged to receive the correspondinglyshaped pintle upon one end of a shade roller7 the other end'ot the roller being provided in the usual` manner with a circular pintle 'which may be engaged in a correspondingly shaped passage 9 formed in the portion 10 `of a shade .sup-

'porting element 11 similar otherwiseiin its construction to the element G hereinbefore mentioned. As shown? the element 6 has its longitudinal edges disposed between the guidev flange 2 and the flange 3 upon the plate or body portion 1 and the upper edge portion of the said element. is disposed beneath one extremity of the spring 4. .Any

suitable 'fastening means can be employed for securing the spring and the element 6 to the plate or body 1, but as herein illustrated7 I employ a rivet or fastening device 12. A pole supporting arm 13 is 'carried by the bracket and is provide with a right angularly extending portion 14 having its end portions disposed between the flanges 2 and 3. The upper end of the portion 14 is dis posed upon. one of the extremities of the spring 4and secured thereto' and to the body or plate 1 by means of a rivet 15 or other suitable fasteningdevice. A

The plate or body portion 1 of the bracket has formed therein a horizontally disposed series of spaced Aperforations 1G which are adapted to receive the `stud or projection 17 stamped. iroin the portion 18 of4 a shade supporting element 19. The shade supporting element 19 extends outwardly and has formed therein a vertically disposed elongated slot' 20 for receiving the correspondingly shaped pintle at one end of a shade roller. The lower extremity or edge of the portion 18 of the shade support'- ing element 19 is slidable in the guideway 21 :formed by the guidel flange 2 and the upper extremity of the portion 18 of the shade supporting element is disposed behind way 21 -formed by the iange 2 to permit 1o inentioned also yieldiugly engages the por- `dessired adjusted position.
