CURTAIN ROD Nov. 26, 1940.
Filed April 6, 1939 INVENTOR PlfPlPf ED011151? ATTORNEYS Patented Nov. 26, 1940 PATENT orr cej CURTAIN ROD Pierre F. Dover, Rye, N. Y., assignor to H. L. Judd Company, Inc., New York, N. Y., a corporation of Delaware Application April 6, 1939, Serial No. 266,263
2 Claims.
of angular positions relatively to the support.
A more specific object is to provide a bowed'or arched curtain rod, together with means for supa porting .the same in a plurality of different positions to vary the effective extent of thearch or bow. l
Other objects and various features of improvement will be hereinafter pointed out or will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
In the drawing which shows, for illustrative purposes only, a preferred form of the invention- 1 Fig. 1 is a view in front elevation .of a windo casing or other support having my improved rod support in an upper angular position;
Fig. 2 is an end view of the parts shown in Fig. 1 as viewed from the left; r
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but illustrating the rod in a different angular position;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary detail view in elevation of a rod end;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged top plan view of the rod end of Fig. 4..
The invention will be described as embodied in an extending curtain rod of the so-called flat rod type. However, the invention is of broader application and may be embodied in rods of other form.
The. curtain rod may comprise two telescopic sections 5-6, each section. being of generally channel form or C-shaped cross-section, as illustrated in Fig. 4. The mid-portion of the rod when the sections 5-6 are assembled is prefer ably outwardly bowed or arched, as illustrated. Each section at its outer end has an angularly bent offset portion 1, which offset portions or elbowed ends are adapted to be mounted on brackets for holding the rod either horizontally or tilted so as to change the elevation of the mid-portion of said rod.
The rod in the form illustrated is supported on brackets of well known form, including a wall plate 8 and an offset upstanding pin 9 secured thereto. Each offset or elbow l is provided at one of its walls, such as the bottom wall, with a pin receiving opening I andis provided in the other wall (in this case the top wall) with a pin receiving opening II. The openings l0ll, as will be observed, are opposite each other and are near the extremities of the elbowed ends and are also in substantially the same transverse plane so that when the curtain rod is supported on the bracket by means of the pin 9 passing through the holes l0ll in the rod, the ends and mid-.- portion of the rod will be supported in a substantially horizontal plane, as will be clear from Fig.
3. The elbow or olfset I is further provided with another opening l2 in one wall, such as the top 7 wall, and this opening-l2 is spaced from the opening II, that is, it is in a transverse plane spaced apart from the transverse plane of the openings Ill-ll and somewhat further from the 10 extremity of the elbowed end. When the rod is supported by the bracket pin 9 passing through the openings l0 and I2, the rod will be tilted upwardly in a dilierent angular position, as illustrated in Fig. 2. In order to make the rod reversible I preferably provide another opening E3 in substantially the same transverse plane as the opening [2. Thus, by reversing the rod end for end, theopening ll becomes a bottom opening and the bracket pin 9 maybe engaged'through the opening and through either of the openings lill3 so as to supporltthe rod in either. of the two angular positions illustrated.
Thus, with the rod supported by means of the bracket pin extending through the openings 10-! l, the mid-portion of the rod. will extend outwardly or away from the window casing in a horizontal plane and one visual effect of the drapery or curtain will be produced, While with l the rod supported in the tilted position as illustrated in Fig. 2, the mid-portion of the rod will still be spaced away from the window casing and will also be arched upwardly so that a wholly different visual effect will be produced.
It will be noted that I have provided a curtain rod with very simple means for supporting the same in a plurality of different angular positions.
A particular form of rod has been illustrated and a'particular form of bracket. However, it is to be observed that both rod and bracket may be 4 varied within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. I
I claim:
1. A hollow curtain rod having set back elbowed ends to be supported by brackets, each of said elbowed ends having a pair of opposed pin receiving openings, one opening being in the upper wall and the other in the lower wall of said elbowed end, each of said ends having a second pair of opposed pin receiving openings, one of said second pair of openings being in the upper wall and the other opening of saidsecond pair being in the lower wall of said end, said second pair of openings being spaced longitudinally of said ends from said first pair of openings, where- 10 per wall'and the other of said pair of openings being in the lower wall of the elbowed end, one of said walls having a second pin receiving opening ofiset longitudinally along said end from the first mentioned opening therein, whereby an upturned pin on the supporting bracket may be received in either of the openings in said one wall and simultaneously in the opening in the other of said walls, for the purpose described.
