Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 30, 1%15.
Application filed April 14, 1914. Serial No. 831,861.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN R. CASPER, citizen of the United States of America, residing at the city of Washington, District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade-Brackets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in rod supports par ticularly adapted for use as supporting brackets for shade rollers, window curtains and the like.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple, eli'icient and economical device of this character which may be readily secured to the side of a window casing, dispensing with the usual fastening means, as nails, screws etc.
Another object of the invention is to provide a flexible bracket support which may be adjusted to accommodate rollers of different lengths with an equal degree of service.
Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claims.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation of a shade roller, with a portion of the window frame adjacent thereto in section; Fig. 2 is a side view of the device; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the brackets; Fig. -l is a similar view of the other bracket; and Fig. 5 is a plan of the blank from which the bracket is formed.
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in the several figures of the drawings.
My improved shade roller bracket may be made from a substantially rectangular blank of resilient metal of any suitable weight and is provided at one end with serrations or teeth 10, the blank being bent adjacent its toothed end at substantially right angles thereto to form the upwardly extending portion 11 and thence downwardly to form a pintle engaging member 12 lying appr0Ximately parallel to the plane of the portion 11. As is clearly apparent in the drawing, the lower extremity of the portion 12 terminates at a point above the plane within which the serrated end of the device lies, the purpose of which will be later set forth. T he portion 12 of one of the brackets is pro vided with a suitable open slot 13, as shown in Fig. 8, to receive the fiatted stationary pintle 1 1 of the shade roller 15, while the portion 12 of the other bracket is provided with the usual round aperture 16 for the rotating spindle 17.
The brackets are driven into the wood of the window casing in a suitable position so that the portions 11 extend upwardly. The lower extremity of the portion 12, terminating above the plane of the teeth, affords a hammer surface whereby the brackets may readily be forced into the wood.
This invention presents an extremely simple, neat form of shade roller supporting bracket occupying a minimum amount of space and one which eliminates the objectionable feature of separate fastening means. Due to the flexibility of the device, the angularity of the portions 11 and 12 may be easily varied simply by bending outwardly to afford supports for rollers of different lengths. As will be readily appreciated the greater the downward stress brought to bear upon the brackets, the greater will become the holding inclination thereof as the tendency of such stress would be to force the teeth farther into the casing. After the proper adjustment has been secured for the length of roller, further movement of the portions 11 and 12 will be prevented by the bracing action of the roller itself.
What is claimed is 1. A shade roller bracket comprising a body portion adapted to fit against the vertical frame of a window or door, having at its lower end a portion bent at right angles and provided with means to enter the wood work of the frame, said body portion at its upper end being bent downwardly and having formed therein a roller pintle receiving aperture.
2. A shade roller bracket comprising a body portion adapted to fit against the vertical frame of a window or door, having at its lower end. a portion bent at right angles and serrated to form teeth to enter the Woodwork of the frame, said body portion at its upper end being bent downwardly and having formed therein a rollerpintle receiving aperture, said doWnbent portion terminating short of the bottom of the body portion as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two wltnesses.
JOHN R. CASPER.
