This invention relates to new and useful improvements in curtain and shade brackets, and is primarily designed to be attached to a window frame'without objectionable dew I curtain and shade bracket,

5, facing or marring thereof. j I

The-primary object of the-invention 1S to provide va bracket of the abovementioned type which may be easily and quickly placed I in practical use and Other objects of the invention willbe apparent during the course of the following description.

reference. numeral 5 designates a fragmentary portion of a window frame havin'g the 'upperand lower flanges 6 and 7 respectively;

The S-shaped curtain and shade bracket 8' lsadapted to beconnected to thiswindow frame; between the flanges 6 and 7', without the use of any screws or the like which I,

would deface or mar tliesa id frame. This bracket 8 ,is provided with a rigid spur 9 which is ntended to engage the edgeflange 7 and to be embedded therein by movement of the angle spl rg lQ freely received-"within the apertured lugs 11, 12 and 13 formedin the rear side of the bracket 8. II The; spur 1O is'threaded at 10 =for the receptionof a wing. nut 14;, the proper rotation of which spulflO in the opposite direction tothe spur '9 for securely'fastening the bracket 8'to the frame 5. The bracket 8' has an enlarge -ment 8 formed at its upper end for holding a curtain pole 15 inthe manner illustrate d in ig. 1. The bracket is further provided with shade pint'l'e receiving sockets will cause longitudinal movement of they 16 and 17 for supporting the shade 18, shown I in Fig.

In the form of the inventionshownlin v Figs. 3 to 5 inclusive, thebracket 19 has formed at its lower portion the'spurs, 20 whic'h'are adapted for being embedded in the'lowerfiang-e 7,of the window frame 5; Thebracket 19 carries the apertured' lugs 21 and 22 Within; the apertures of which is positioned the spur 23. This spur is threaded at 2-1 for engagement with the wing nut 25 which may be rotated upon the spur for causing the same to force against the lug 22 for causing the upper end of the spur 23, with the spurs 20 to be embedded in the flanges 6 and 7 respectively of the window frame.

Each bracket 19 has formed thereon the i laterally projecting ears 26 having extensions 27. These ears are intended for receiving the extension curtain poles 28 and the shade pintle receiving arm 29, as bes illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4. V

. In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 6 and7, the S-shaped bracket 80 is provided with an angular shoulder 31 adapted forresting against the upper outer edge of the window frame and to be held thereagainst by the spur 82 which is loosely received in bearings 33 and 34 carried by the bracket and is to be tightened or drawn toward the shoulder 31 by the wing nut 35 wh ch is threaded upon the outer end 36 of the spur 32 and bears'against the bearing 34. This $-shaped bracket 30 is provided with an'upwardly hooked extension 3G having a shade pintle receiving socket 37 formed in the outer end thereof. The bracket 30 is further provided with pintle sockets 38 and 39 and an enlargement 40 for holding in place a curtain pole, s'milar to the structure described in connection with Figs. 1 and 2.

In Figs. 8 to 10 inclusive there is shown a further modified form of curtain and shade bracket which is designated by the reference numeral 41. The upper end of this bracket 41 is formed with an apertured ear 42 adapted to be received between the spaced fingers 43 of a lug 44 hav ng an aperture i5formed therein A spur 46, similar to the spur32 shown in Fig. 6, is 'to be received within the apertures in the ear 42 and lug 44 and carries a wing nut 47 for drawing the lug and ear toward the front face of the window frame 5, see Fig. 10. This bracket 41 is further provided with struck-up ears 4-8 having extensions 49 at the upper ends there of for connecting extension curtain poles and shade roller pintle supporting arms similar to those illustrated in'Figs. 3 and 4.

In Fig. 11 there is shown the upper end portion of a bracket 50 which is formed of sheet metal and has an inverted U-shaped flange 51 projecting laterally therefrom. This bracket is apertured at 52 for the recept on of a spur 53 by means of which the bracket 51 may be attached to a window frame similar to the frame5 shown in Figs. 6 and 10. V

The bracket 54 shown in Fig. 12 provided with a series of apertures 55 adapted for receiving aspur similar to the spur 53 shown in Fig. 11, by .means 01. which the turn buckle 57 by means of which the outer ends of thespurs 56 may be drawn toward or forced away from each other. These spurs 56 may be used in combination with the S-shaped bracket 8 shownfinFigs. 1

and 2. I v 7 I In Fig. 14 there is shown a bracket 58 having an ear 59 projecting laterally'therefrom which is provided with an extens on 60; The shade roller pintle receiving arm 61 is shown connected to this gear 59 and extension 60 by means of the apertured, U shaped base 62. 7 It is now believed that the method of constructing and the manner of operating the various types of curtainand shade'brackets shown herein will be understoodrfrom the abovedetail description of the same. It is to be understood that the forms of this invention herewith shown and described are to be taken as preferred examples of the 1. In a device of the type described, a

curtain and a shade bracket having a ledge, a spur depending from the bracket, a second spur loosely-carried by said bracket and projecting upwardly therefrom, and a wing nut threaded on the'second spur and bearing against said bracket ledge for moving the second spur away' from the rigid spur to cause said-spurs to be embedded ina window frame. 7

2. In a device of thetype described, a

curtain and-shade bracket, a spur rigid" therewith, a plurality of bearings carried by said bracket, asecond spur loosely carried by said bearings, and a wing nut threaded on the second spur and forcing against one of said bearings for moving the second spur away from the rigid spur to secure the bracket to a window frame.

In testimony whereof I affix my'signature.
