Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents an L-shaped member formed from a strip offiat material, and in the outstanding arm 10 of which is formed an opening 11 for one of the pintle ends of a shade roller. One end of the member 10, that is the end remote from the shade pintlereoeivingend, is .rebent upon itself to confine the lower end of the vertical member12, said member having its lower end extended rearwardly, as at 13, to form a window casing engaging jaw. Formed in the member 12 is a longitudinal slot 14: which receives a bolt 15'carried by the lower end,

fixture of the adjustable curtain pole supporting bracket member 16, a nut 16 being engaged on the bolt for clamping the bracket so that its rearwardly turned end 17 will cooperate with the portion 13, to clamp the fixture to the window casing. A band 18 is disposed around the transverse portion of the member 10, and the bent end of the same, townfine the latter against the rear face of the body of the member.

Embracing the .said transverse portion of the member 10, adjacent the outturned portion thereof, is a band 19, which also embraces the horizontal portion 20, of avertical and forwardly extending split bracket 21, said split bracket being adapted to frictionally engage within the angularly turned end of a conventional tubular extension rod for curtains or draperies.

edge portion of the band 19, and extending outwardly and upwardly, are two prongs 22, which are adapted to be received in the pair of openings in the conventional fiat exten sion rod for curtains or draperies.

It will be noted that the rearwardly extended ends of the Vertical member 12, and of the bracket 16, are inclined, to a slight degree, toward each other so that when engaged with the lower and upper faces of the heading of a window casing, respectively, and the member and bracket moved inwardly toward each other, a firm clamping acion will be produced on the said heading,

and when the nut 16 is tightened, the fixture will be properly secured to the Window casing without the use of nails or screws, which would damage or mar the casing.

In'Figure 3 there is shown a removable curtain pole bracket, wherein the same is provided with an opening 23 for receiving the struck-up tongue 24, of the vertical member 12.

When a curtain pole is not used, this bracket may be removed and the conventional extension curtain rods used on the member 22 or the member 21. The curtain pole brackets are adapted to be adjusted inwardly or outwardly, so that the curtain may hang at the desired distance from the window.

The members 13 and 17 are terminally formed'with the teeth 23,which are adapted to' bite into the window frame, and thereby firmly clamp the fixture to the window.

What is claimed is: A shade and curtain hanger comprising a vertical flexible member having terminal,

jaws adapted to be sprung into engagement with a window frame, a laterally extending arm secured to the lower portion of said flexible member and having its outer end extended forwardly at an angle thereto, said angularly extending portion being formed to receive a shade roller pintle, a collar slid- .able on the said arm and having forwardly and upwardly extending drapery rod engaging fingers, and an angle member having one end retained by said collar and having its other end twisted and extending vertically and forwardly at the outer end of said arm and being terminally formed with divergent resilient fingers.
