CURTAIN ROD. APPLICATION FILED MAY 6. 1909.

W/ fiupd, J
JOHN W. 'McMAI-ION, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
CURTAIN -ROD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 15, 1910.
Application filed May 6, 1909. Serial No. 494,406.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W. MOMAHON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Rods, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the construction of rods for curtain draperies and the like and has for its object the provision of a contrivance of this class which while susceptible of very cheap construction, may be at the same time strong and durable, of comely appearance, convenient to set up and take own, and instantly adjustable to any width of window before which a curtain is to be suspended.
In addition to the above objects which I attain by my invention, I provide also an adjustable curtain rod upon which two curtains may be suspended one behind the other.
In the drawings hereto annexed which illustrate an exemplification of my invention,-Figure 1 is a perspective view of an extensible or adjustable curtain rod; Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same; and Fig. 3 is a View partly in cross section, taken on line 3 of Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrow.
I provide brackets A which may be of the usual construction, that is to say, made by bending a strip of sheet metal, or which may be of special construction as shown in Fig. 4 and provided with a downwardly offset chair portion A in which the curtain rods and their fastenings may rest.
The curtain rod is doubled and is composed of two telescoping U-shaped members B and B,'the member B having an inside diameter suflicient to admit the member B and to make a fairly free sliding bolt member and the lower member C being the nut member. The bolt head and the nut are in this case made spherical but obviously they may be made of any desired ornamental shape provided they be of such size and configuration as properly to hold the rod members B and B in place upon the brackets. The threaded bolt C passes through an aperture at a (Fig. 3) and the nut C is secured thereto being screwed up until the bearing of the bolt head C upon the upper portion of the rod members is suiiiciently tight to hold the rod members in place. The attachment of the rods to the brackets is therefore very simple all that need be done is to lay the rods upon the brackets and then secure the fastening members. The curved ends of the double rods may, if desired, lie close to the fastening members and bracket, or each of the rods may be so drawn out that the curved ends extend an appreciable distance on either side of the bracket fixture; thus with an arrangement of this character it is not necessary that the brackets A shall be spaced apart a distance equal to the whole width of the space to be covered by the curtain. The curtains may hang wholly from the portions of the rods between the brackets A, or they may partly hang from extending end portions of the rods if the se curement of the latter to the brackets be as above suggested.
I am aware that double telescoping curtain rods and the like have been heretofore known or used, but these have not to my knowledge been applied in the manner above described or with the conveniences resulting therefrom.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a curtain-hanger, the combination of brackets, double curtain rods, composed of a pair of U-shaped telescoping mem bers, each provided with parallel arms, which telescope with the parallel arms of the other, and fasteners to bind the telescoping members to the brackets.
2. In a curtain-hanger, the combination of brackets, double curtain rods composed of a pair of U-shaped telescoping mem- Signed by me at Boston, Massachusetts bers, each provided with pafalllel armst, this twenty eighth day of April 1909. which telescope with the para 1e arms 0' h 1 v the other, and fasteners, passing through JOHN MQMAHO)" the brackets between, and bearing on the Vitnesses: upper surfaces of, the arms of the teieseop- ODUs ROBERTS,
