CARL T. REISNER, OF WACO, TEXAS.
SHADE AND CURTAIN BRACKET.Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 2,1914.
Application filed October 15, 1913. Serial No. 795,328.
[o all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CART, T. RRISNER, a
citizen of the United States, residing at
Waco, in the county of McLennan and State
5 of Texas, have invented certain new and
useful Improvements in Shade and Curtain
Brackets, of which the following is a specifi-
cation, reference being had to the accom-
panying drawings.
10 This invention relates to certain improve-
ments in shade or curtain brackets and has
for its primary object to provide a very
simple and convenient device of this char-
acter whereby the brackets at opposite sides
15 of the window frame may be quickly and
easily adjusted to receive shade rollers or
curtain poles of various lengths.
Another and more specific object of the
invention resides in the provision of a base
20 plate having flanges formed upon its ends,
spaced parallel rods secured in said flanges,
a bracket member slidable upon said rods
and means for securing said bracket mem-
ber in its adjusted position.
25 My invention has for a further object to
provide a device of the above character
which is simple and inexpensive in con-
struction, neat in appearance and highly
convenient and serviceable in practical use.
30 With the above and other objects in view,
the invention consists in the novel features
of construction and the combination and ar-
rangement of parts to be hereinafter more
fully described, pointed out, in the claim
35 and shown in the accompanying drawing,
in which-
Figure 1 is an elevation of the upper por-
tion of a window frame showing my im-
proved shade bracket applied thereto; Fig.
40 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig.
1; Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of
one of the brackets.
Referring in detail to the drawings, 5
designates a base plate which, for the sake
45 of economy, has its central body portion cut
out, as indicated at 6. This plate is adapted
to be stamped out of a single sheet of metal
and is provided upon its ends with the
flanges 7. The body of the plate adjacent
50 each end thereof is provided with an open-
ing to receive the fastening screws 8.
Parallel longitudinally extending rods 9
are fixed at their ends in the flanges 7 andupon these rods the bracket member, indi-
cated at 11, is loosely mounted for sliding 55
movement. This bracket member may be of
the ordinary construction now in general
use, and the same is provided at its upper
and lower ends with the set screws 12 which
are threaded therein and adapted for bind- 60
ing engagement against the respective
rods 9.
It will be obvious, from the foregoing de-
scription that the brackets at opposite sides
of the frame are capable of quick and easy 65
adjustment by simply sliding the same upon
the rods 9 until the brackets are spaced apart
a sufficient distance to receive the trunnions
in the ends of the shade roller. Of course,
it is obvious that the ordinary curtain pole 70
bracket may be substituted for the brackets
illustrated, in the drawing. After the brack-
ets have been thus adjusted upon the rods 9,
they are securely fixed in position by means
of the set screws 12. 75
From the foregoing it will be seen that I
have produced a very simple and convenient
mounting for the shade bracket whereby the
same may be adjusted when desired without
in any way marring the facings of the frame 80
as is the case in the use of the ordinary
bracket attached by means of screws directly
to the frame.
It will be apparent that the base plate
may be made in various ornamental de- 85
signs and I do not, therefore, desire to be
limited to the specific form of this plate
illustrated in the drawing. It is further to
be understood that the invention is suscep-
tible of a great many other modifications in 90
the form, proportions and arrangements of
the several parts and I, therefore, reserve
the right to resort to all such legitimate
changes as may fairly fall within the spirit
and scope of my invention as claimed. 95
What I claim is-
The hereindescribed bracket holder in-
cluding a base plate having its ends disposed
at right angles to the body portion of the
plate, spaced parallel rods removably mount- 100
ed at their ends in the angular ends of said
plate and in spaced relation to the body
thereof, a bracket member consisting of a
roller supporting body plate having oppo-
sitely extending spaced enlargements formed 105
upon one end and provided with openings1,098,839.
