Application filed April 20, 1909. Serial N0? 481,123.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS E. JOHNSON, of Fort North, Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Supports and Brackets for Shadeliollers and Curtains, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to supports for roller shades and curtains, and the object is to provide simple devices which are adjustable to the facings of windows of any ordinary construction and which consist of leteraliy extensible supports which carry their own attaching devices and of brackets which are movably attached to the -supports.

Other objects and advantages will be fully explained in the following description and the invention will be more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Reference is had to' the accompanying drawings which form a part of this appiica- Figure l is a perspective view of the sup ports and brackets. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a hill size blank for forming one of the supbinder 13 integral with the base. The binder 13 is connected to the base 12 by a. neck 14 and the binder incloses a portion of the support 1 between the binder and the base. The binder is further secured to the support 1 by a tongue 15 which is integral with the binder and is bent throu h the slot 16 and then bent down on the ase. The brackets 7 and 8 could be made rigid on the support by clamping the tongue 16 firmly on the base, but it is sufiicient to leave the base loose enough to be movable on the support. By reason of the slot 2 in the support the base 12 can be moved to difi'erent positions. The brackets are thus adjustable for different lengths of shade rollers.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,-

1. Roller shade and curtain brackets and bracket supports comprising laterally extensihlc slotted supporting bars, means for attuching said. bars to the window facings. means or connecting the inner ends of said burs together, brackets mounted on said bars,

ports. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the supports and binders on the opposite sides of said V Fig. 5 l

curing the supports to dow. Fig. 4 is a bro taken along the line w w of Fig. 1. V is a. plan view of a. blank which is to form n bracket. 1 Similar characters of reference are used l to indicate the same parts throughout the l several views. The bracket supports include bars 1 which i have slots 2 therein and spurs 3 on one end and a. clamp 4 provided with a bolt 5 and l nut 6. The bolt 5 passes through the slots i 2. The supports 1 can thus .be clamped toother to hold the supports on window fuc- 1 mgs of difl'ercnt sizes of windows. The} spurs 3 are first driven in the outer edges l of the facings. The clamp and the bolt and nut are then adjusted on the lapped ends of 1 the supports. The brackets 7 and 8 have hooks 9 for supporting a curtain pole and i bearings 10 and ll for the roller of the l shade. Euch bracket has' a base 12 and a i window fucin s. means burs from said bru-izkcts and having necks said bars'und integral with said brackets said brackets to said bars.

:2. Roller shade and curtain brackets and bracket supports comprising laterally exten sible slotted bars provided with hooked spurs to be driven into the outer edges of for connecting the inner ends 0 said slotted bars together, brackets provided with buses movably mounted on said slotted burs, und binders integral with said bases and connected therewith by necks running through the slots of said bars.

3. Roller shade and curtain brackets and bracket supports comprisin v laterally extensible slotted bars provided with hooks on their outer ends to be driven into the outer edges of window facings. means for connectng the inner ends of said burs together,

on the opgosite sides of said slotted bars the resence of two witnesses, this 16th day from said ases and integral with said bases of pril, 1909. and connected therewith by necks running through the slots in said bars, said binders THOMAS JOHNSON s havin tongues projecting through the slots Witnesses:

In testimony whereof, I set my hand in I J. W. STETT.
