IMPROVED STAIR-ROID.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it known that we, HANS IvERsnN and DANlnL AGKER, ofthe city and State of New York, have invented and ina-de a new and useful Improvement in Stair-Rods; and we do herebydeciare the following to be a full and clear description thereof', reference being had to the annexed drawing, making part of this speciticption, wherein- Figure I is a plan of the sockets for the rod and portions ofthe ends ofthe rods, 'and Figure Il is a section longitudinally through the soc-kots, showing also a portion `ot" .theJ rod.

lhc saine letters of reference are 'applied to corresponding parts.

Sockets have before been made for the ends of stairrods, one of the lsockets containing a cork, and the other having a spiral spring and washer, held in place by a screw, so that the rod can be pressed against the washer as one end is slipped into the socket, and then the other end is slipped into the socket containingr the cork. This construction is costly, and the spring is liable to be compressed too much, and become inoperative, and the rod slips out ofthe sockets.

The nature of our invention consists in a sliding bolt combined with the socket for the stair-rod, said sliding bolt being placed through the side ofthe socket, and retaining the rod iu place, but when the bolt is drawn up the rod can he slipped further iut-.o the socket, in order that the other end of the rod may be disconnected from its socket.

In The drawing'- In the socket a, we prefer to introduce the cork c,

and` through the socket I1 the transverse holt fi is introduced, about midway of the depth of' the socket. We prefer that this transverse bolt be placed so as to come upon the top part of the socket as ,it is applied upon the stairs. l

It will now be understood that the sockets are lto be secured to the stairs at such a distance apart that the rod when inserted will be held in the position indicated in g. 2, and iu this condition is very firmly held in place, and there are no parts that are liable to injury.

When the rod is to be removed, the bolt t' is lift-ed, and the rod slipped further into the socket b, to liberate the other end. I

v What we claim, and desireto secure by Letters Patent isrhe transverse sliding bolt t', in combination with the stair-rodsocket b and attachment c, as and for the purposes set forth.

Dated this 20th day of August, A. D, 1869. y
