To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, GREGORY MOLEAN, a

I citizen of the United States of America, re-

means whereby the lace easy reach of a siding at Atlanta, in the county of Montmorencyand State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in lace curtain hangers and the like.

One object of the invention is to provide curtains can be lowered or raised on the window, so that the upper half of the window can be cleaned without removing the curtains or interfering in any manner. I Another object is to provide a socket for holding the pole by means of which the curtains are usually hung, and which can swung around and away from the window, leaving the entire window free. for cleaning, and it will be evident that it is not necessary to climb ona chair or other sup port to remove the said curtains, as the cords for controlling the height are within person standing on the oor. V

Still another object is to so arrange the device so that it can be easily and quickly removed and installed when moving from one house to another.

With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the com bination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and moreparticularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportion and minor details without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window showing the improved curtain holder applied thereto.

Fig. 2, is a plan view of the improved holder.

Fig. 3, is a sectional view of a Window showing the improved holder in edge elevation, and
