WINDOW-SHADE FIXTURE.

Application filed July 30, 1923.

My intention is an improved shade mounting particularly applicable to en closed automobiles, but may also be applied to the usual type of double hung windows. The object of my intention. is to provide a mounting of simple and inexpensive construction, and which may be readily applied or removed from the window.

With the present method of hanging a curtain it is soon torn by the action of the wind coming through the window. My mounting entirely obviates this ditliculty, since it is secured to the top of the window and raises ()1 lowers with it.

Other objects and advantages will be more specifically pointed out and described in the following detailed description.

In the annexed drawing in which my in veution is illustrated:

Figure l is a side view or my mounting positioned on the door of a closed automobile.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 a side View of my mounting.

Figure 4: is an end view of the same.

Referring more particularly to the drawin r, my shade mounting comprisesa channeled clannging member l, which is adapted to rest upon the top ol the window 2, as shown in Figures 1 and :2. Brackets 3 and 4 are secured to the ends of the member 1 in which the shade 5 is mounted. When my mounting is used upon the doors of an automobile, the brackets 3 and 4.- are positioned below the top of the member 1 to permit the glass and the top of said member to enter the top recess in the door.

To further lighten my mounting the Serial No. 854,628.

member 1 is cut away in the center, sutiicient 40 metal being retained to properly grip the window and provide a rigid mounting. The member 1 is prete ably formed of a single piece of material which is cut and then bent into shape. It will'be seen thatthe window may be raised or lowered any desired distance, and the shade adjusted to lreep out the sun without any danger of the shade being torn by the wind.

It is obvious that the brackets 3 and 2t may be used to support a bar from which to drape a curtain. instead of hanging a shade. it is also obvious that the central part of the channeled member 1 may be omitted, in which case the brackets would be secured to a short channel for each bracket.

Having described my invention, it claim:

1. In combination, a window frame, window pane slidable therein and set back from the front face thereof, a strip of material bent into U shape in cross section straddling the upper edge of the pane, brackets extending in parallel relation from one outer face of the strip at opposite ends thereof, and a shade supported in the brackets in immediate proximity to the pane, the shade being conlined between the face of the pane and the front plane of the llllllli.

i-r combination as defined in claim 1 in which the U shaped strip is coextensive with the width of the window pane and is made to fit against the edges of a groove formed in the frame above the pane for etl'ecting a tight closure when the pane is pushed upwardly.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.

CHARLES H. WOOD.
