SHADE AND CURTAIN-POLE SUPPORT.

Application filed April 17, 1913.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN NEUBERGER and James F. HINEs, citizens of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade and Curtain-Pole Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to shade and curtain pole supports or hangers, and has for its object to provide an improved and simple device which will hold a shade roller and curtain pole in position on a window casing, in such manner that they may be swung out or away from the casing to permit convenient access to the window when desired.

The supporting devices are pivoted at one side of the casing to swing horizontally, by means of a support or bracket having a depending pivot pin which fits in a socket piece or fixture attached to the window casing.

In the accompanying drawings-Figure l is a front elevation illustrating the device. Fig. 2 is a side view of the keeperfor the free end of the pole. Figs. 3, at and 5, are side and top views of a fixture for holding the shade roller. Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of the pivoted fixture for the curtain pole. Fig. 7 is a top view of the same.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 20 indicates the window casing, to one side of which is attached a socket fixture 8 which receives the pivot pin 7 depending from the underside of the pole fixture 7. This fixture comprises a curved plate having at one end a loop or ring 7 through which the pole (3 is inserted, and at the other end a hole 7 to receive a screw to fasten the pole to the plate. The pole may be swung on the pin 7 as a pivot to swing toward or from the window. The free end of the pole, when it is swung to the window is received between Specification of Letters latent.

the forked arms of a fixture 11 screwed into the opposite side of the window. A chain 9 is attached on the free end of the pole for convenience of manipulation.

The pole supports the shade fixtures 10, each of which consists of an arm projecting from a curved part 10 which fits over the top of the pole and may be held in place by screws in notches 10 in the plate. The shade roller is indicated at 21. The shade fixture may be made with two arms, as shown in Fig. 8, for the purpose of supporting two curtains if desired.

The shade fixtures being mounted onthe pole swing therewith.- Accordingly when swung out with the pole the shade and the curtain are removed from the window permitting convenient access for cleaning or washing and also for ventilation and avoiding the trouble of taking down the curtain when the windows are washed, or the room is to be ventilated. The fixture 7 will support a pole of any length, and to put the device in place it is only necessary to attach the fixtures 7 and 10 to the pole, attach the socket piece 8 to the casing, put up the keeper 11, and set the pole in place. The curtain and shade can be completely removed by lifting the pole to remove the pivot pin from the socket.

lVhat we claim is:

The combination of a socket piece adapted for attachment to one side of a window casing, a plate having a depending pivot pin fitting in the socket, a pole attached to the plate, and shade holding fixtures secured to the pole.

In testimony whereof we do alfix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
