CURTAIN BATTEN Filed Feb.-2'T, 1929 XX Q ' lNVEbLTOR ATTORNEY Patented June 24, 1930 UNITED STATES masses PATENT JOHN F. LEVAN, OF ELKHAET, INDIANA, ASSIGNGR T EXCEL CURTAIN COMPANY, OF ELKHART, INDIANA, A CORIPGEATIQN 0F DELAVJARE CURTAIN BATTEI'I Application filed February 2?, 19?:
This invention has for its object a particularly simple and economical curtain rod or batten construction and more particularly a construction by which guides at the ends of the batten or rod are economically and in most instances, when desired, adjustably connected to the rod or mandrel.
The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding partsin all the views.
Figure 1 is an elevation,partly broken away of a curtain batten embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional View, partly in elevation, of one end of the batten illustrating one construction by which the curtain guide is attached to or interlocked with the mandrel or rod.
Figure 3 is a View similar to Figure 2 illustrating another adaptation of the in 5 vention.
This curtain rod or batten is particularly designed for curtains for the windows of motor vehicles where the free end of the curtain is held from flapping by cords extending through the eyes at the ends of. the curtain rod. It will be understood that the curtain rod or batten extends through a passage or hem at the free end of the curtain.
This curtain batten or rod comprises a tubular mandrel 1 having guides or screw eyes 2 at one or both ends, each guide having a shank 3 extending into the end of the mandrel, the shanks of the guides being interlocked with the end-portions of the rod. As illustrated, the shanks are provided with peripheral projections and each end. portion 4 of the mandrel is contracted or clamped onto the shank 3 to interlock therewith and hold the guides from displacement. The guides are preferably commercial screw eyes and the projections on the shanks are provided by threads 5.
The contracted end of the mandrel interlocks in most instances with the threads, as
Serial No. 343,176.
shown in Figure 2, so that the guide or screw eye can be adjusted easily within limits to the width of the curtain or the width between the cords along which the screw eyes run, during the openin and closing of thecurtain.
In contracting the end portion 4:, a tool with a serrated working face is used to form depressions 6 on the outside of the contracted portion, which depressions cause corresponding projections 7 on the inner face of the contracted end portion of the mandrel, which projections interlock with the threaded shank of the screw eye, all as seen in F igure 2.
In some instances, if an adjustment is not desired, the contracted end 4, Figure 3, may be contracted on the unthreaded portion of the shank so that the threads are located entirely within the body of the mandrel and the end thread interlocks with or thrusts against the inner end wall of the contracted end as shown at 8.
Preferably, the mandrel is formed up of sheet metal and is thereby provided with a lengthwise split 9 extending thefull length thereof and this split contributes to the contracting of the end portion tightly on the shank of the screw eye, although insofar as the contracting is concerned, the split may extend through the end portion only or not the entire length of the mandrel.
This batten or curtain rod is particularly economical and substantial in construction and finish and neat in appearance.
What I claim is:
l. A curtain batten comprising a hollow mandrel, an eye member having a shank extending into the end of the mandrel, the shank being formed with peripheral projections and the end of the mandrel around the shank being contracted on the shank, the inner wall of the contracted portion interlocking with the projections.
2. A curtain batten comprising a mandrel having a contracted portion at one end, an eye member having a threaded shank extending into the contracted portion, the inner wall of the contracted portion being interlocked with the threads of the shank.
3. A curtain batten comprising a tubular mandrel, a guide member having a shank extending into the end of the mandrel, the shank being formed With a peripheral projection and the end of the mandrel around the shank being contracted on the shank, the inner Wall of the contracted portion interlocking With the projection.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name, at Elkhart, in the county of Elkhart and in the State of Indiana, this 18th day of February, 1929.
JOHN F. LEVAN.
