Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 9, 1906.
Application filed April 3,1906. Serial No. 309,679.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. QUITT- MEYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, county of Fairfield, State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Curtain-Bracket, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the class of ourtam-fixtures in which one or two shades and, if required, a curtain-pole are carried by brackets which are adjustable in'an attaching-plate; and my present invention has for its object to provide fixtures of this charac .ter the parts of which may be blanked out and formed complete from sheet metal, which shall be so constructed that relatively light sheet metal may be used and will still give the requisite strength and rigidity, which shall be simple and easy to attach in place and to adjust in use, andwhich shall be so constructed as to reduce the cost of construction both in metal and die work to the minimum.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain parts, improvements, and combinations, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, reference characters being used to indicate the several parts.
Figure 1 is an elevation illustrating one form of my novel bracket as in use; Fig. 2, a
section of the attaching-plate, on an enlarged scale, on the line 2 2 in Fig. 1, a left hand bracket adapted to receive inner and outer shades and a curtain-pole being shown in elevation; Fig. 3, a similar view showing a right-hand bracket adapted to receive one shade and a curtain-pole in elevation; Fig. 4, a similar View showing a left-hand bracket adapted to receive one shade only in elevation Fig. 5., a top edge view of the bracket in Fig. 4 detached and Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6 6 in Fig. 4 looking in the direction of the arrow.
10 denotes outer shade-brackets, 11 either single orinner shade-brackets, and 12 ourtain-pole brackets, it being wholly unimportant, so far as the present invention is concerned, which style of brackets is used with the attaching-plates, which are indicated by 13. The right-hand bracket in each pair is provided with a round hole 14 and the lefthand bracket in each pair with an angular opening 15 to receive the respective attaching ends of self-winding shade-rollers. Where single shades only are to be used, the form of bracket illustrated in Figs. 4, 5, and 6 is preferably used. Where a single shade is used with lace or other curtains supported by a pole, the form of bracket illustrated in Fig. 3 is used, and in sleeping-apartments where inner and outer shades are required or where they are required as a protection for delicately-covered furniture and in connection with lace or other curtains the form of bracket illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 may be used. In order to give strength and rigidity to the brackets and at the same time enable me to use a light sheet metal, I preferably provide the brackets with ribs or corrugae tions, (indicated by 16.) These I find in practice give ample strength and rigidity and enable me to use very much lighter metal than has heretofore been possible. Each bracket is provided with a base-plate, (indicated by 17,) which is bent at a right angle thereto and is provided with a depressed wide longitudinal rib, (indicated by 18.)
The attaching plates are formed from strips of'sheet metal, the edges of which are turned upward and then inward to form longitudinal grooves 19, which receive the edges of the base-plates of the brackets.
The attaching-plates are secured in place by screws 20, passing through holes near the ends thereof.
In use the attaching-plates are first secured in place on the opposite casings of a window and need never be removed after being once attached in place. The baseplates of the brackets are then slid into the grooves. The edges of the base-plates are sprung slightly as they are slid to place, so that the outer faces of the ribs 18 thereon are forced against the inner faces of the baseplates, thus retaining the brackets securely in place by friction, but enabling them to be moved in or out as may be required in adjusting them to different len ths of shades. The curtain-pole when use merely rests upon the pole-brackets and requires no adjustment. In Fig. 1 the position of a curtain-pole and an outer shade is indicated by dotted lines.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. An adjustable curtain-bracket comprising an attaching-plate having its edges tured upward and inward tov form longitudinal grooves, and a bracket having a base-plate provided with a longitudinal depressed rib,
the edges of the base-plate bein sprung into I the grooves so as to force the rib against the inner face of the attaching-plate, whereby the bracket is securely held in place by friction but is adjustable in or out to accommodate diflerent lengths of shades. v
2. An adjustable curtain-bracket comprising an attaching-plate having its edges turned {upward and inward to form longitudinal grooves and a bracket formed from relatively light metal and provided With strengtheningl ribs to give rigidity and having formed inte- 1 gral therewith a base-plate Whose edges lie in the grooves and which is provided with a longitudinal depressed rib Which bears against the inner face of the attaching-plate, sub- ?itantially as described, for the purpose speci- In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
