COMBINED CURTAIN AND SHADE SUPPORT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 30, 1912.
Application filed. April 13, 1911. Serial No. 620,847.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J osnrr Esonnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Curtain and Shade Supports, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a combined window shade and curtain bracket; and the object of the invention is to provide a bracket of the above character which, after being secured to the window casing, is susceptible of adjustment in order to accommodate window shade rollers of different lengths, so that the bracket need not be changed, thereby preventing the woodwork of t e window casing from being marred by the repeated necessary changes with the old style brackets.
A further object of the invention consists in the provision of a combined window shade and curtain bracket of the above character whereby suitable accommodation is made for an additional pole when it is desired to use a velvet curtain in connection with the usual window shade and lace curtain.
I accomplished the above objects of the invention b means of the combined window shade an curtain bracket illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in Wl11Ch Figure 1 is a perspective view of my combined window shade and curtain bracket, the window casing being omitted. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary detail sectional view, on an enlarged scale, showing the arrangement and construction of the bracket support by which the bracket may be adjusted laterally to accommodate window shades of difi'erent widths; said view being taken on the line 22 in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, 10 represents the base or support for the bracket which is permanently secured to the window casing by means of screws which pass through the apertures 11, and the base 10 is bent so that its central portion will be removed from the face of the window casing, thus allowing lateral movement of the bracket. The bracket 12 is formed out of a piece of flat material, preferably brass, and bent into the shape of a right-angle triangle. The bracket 12 is held in an upright position against the base 10 by means of a guide plate 14 which rests against the rear surface of the base lO, said plate having its upper and lower edge bent at a right-angle to form the ears 17 which ride upon the upper and lower edges of the base 10. The central portions of the rightangle ears of the plate 14 are cut away to receive the vertical portion of the bracket 12, the right-angle bent ears of the plate 14 serving tohold the bracket in an upright position. A clamp-bolt 13 rigidly secured to the plate 14 passes through a longitudinal slot 15 in the base 10 and through the vertieally disposed portion of the bracket 12 and,
by means of the wing-nut 16, may be clamped tightly after being adjusted against the base plate 10. The lower portion of the bracket 12 is formed to provide a crescent shaped holder 20 which acts as a seat for a curtain pole adapted to receive a velvet curtain, to be suspended between the shade roller and the lace curtain. The lower portion of the bracket 12 also provides a rest for the bearing 22 adapted to receive the spindle of the shade roller 23. The bearing 22 is cylindrical at one end adapted to receive a like shaped spindle in one end of a shade roller and the other end of said bearing is slotted, as shown, to receive the flat spindle on the spring-end of an ordinary Hartshorn roller. This construction of the bearing 22 enables the bracket to be used on either side of the window casing. The upper portion of the bracket 12 occupies a horizontal position, with reference to the window casing when said bracket is in operati've position, and forms a guide for the extension bracket 25 which forms a support for suspending the lace curtain, allowing said latter curtain to be moved toward and away from the shade and velvet curtain to secure the desired eifect, well known to those employed in the art of hanging and arranging draperies. The extension bracket consist-s of a round rod provided at its forward end with a hook 26 which forms a recess for the curtain pole, and the rear end of said rod is secured to a laterally disposed clip 28 having its ends bent up and around the horizontal portion of the bracket 12, said portion of the bracket 12 operating as a guide for the rear end of the extension bracket 25 and the clip 28 preventing displacement of the rear end of said extension bracket. After the extension bracket has been adjusted to occupy the desired position it is locked by means of the clamp-screw 30.
The use of the bracket herein described not only prevents the woodwork from being marred by changing the position of the bracket. but it enables the bracket to be adjusted to accommodate shades of different widths and also forms a support for the curtain poles that support both the lace curtain and the curtain intermediate the lace curtain and shade, which latter curtain may be composed of velvet or other fabric having a tendency to add to the artistic and general appearance of the room.
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A combined curtain and shade support comprising a base-plate provided with a longitudinal slot, a support adapted to be supported by said base, a guide-plate ar ranged on the said base, ears bent from the upper and lower edges of said guide-plate to ride on the edges of said base-plate and forming a rest for holding the support in upright position on said base, a screw-bolt secured to said guide-plate and projecting through the longitudinal slot and support, and a nut on said bolt to rigidly clamp said support on said base-plate.
2. A combined curtain and shade support comprising a base-plate provided with a longitudinal siot, a support adapted to be supported by said base, a guide-plate arranged on the said base, ears bent from the upper and lower edges of said guide-plate to ride on the edges of said base-plate and forming a rest for holding the support in upright. position on said base, a screw-bolt secured to said guide-plate and projecting through the longitudinal slot and support, a nut on said bolt to rigidly clamp said support on said base, an extension curtain bracket adjustably mounted on said support, means to hold said extension bracket in alinement with said support, and means for holding the extension bracket in rigid relation with said support.
3. A combined curtain and shade support comprising a base-plate bent to remove the central portion of said plate away from the plane on which the ends of said plate are formed, said plate being provided with a longitudinal slot, a support formed to provide a recess to receive one of the curtain poles, a shade roller bearing mounted on and carried by said support, a guide-plate arranged on said base-plate, ears bent from the upper and lower edges of said guideplate to ride upon the edges of said baseplate and forming a rest for holding the support in upright position on said baseplate, a screw-bolt secured to said guideplate and projecting through the 1ongitudinal slot and support, a nut on said bolt to rigidly clamp said support on said base, an extension curtain bracket adjustably mounted on said support, means to hold said extension bracket in alinement with said support, and means for holding said extension bracket in rigid relation with said support.
In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Indianapolis, Indiana, this, 8th day of April, A. D. one thousand nine hundred and eleven.
JOSEPF ESOl-IER.
