Description

Oct. 24, 1950 R. J. CHARBONNEAU WINDOW CORNICE BOARD ASSEMBLY Filed Feb. 9-, 1949 INVEN TOR. R050??- JEAN O/ARaoAM-AU Patented Oct. 24, 1950 UNITED STATES ATENT OFFICE Claims.
This invention relates to an improved cornice board assembly for a window opening.
An object is to provide a cornice board assembly of neat and attractive appearance, of simple inexpensive construction, and of a character which is adaptable to be fitted to window openings of different widths.
Another object is to provide a cornice board assembly of the character described which includes a pair of supporting brackets adapted to be secured to the complementary jambs of a window opening and a cornice board structure proper which is adapted to be removably mounted upon the brackets and to be engaged with brackets spaced different distances apart.
Another object is to provide a cornice board assembly which includes the cornice board structure and supporting brackets and a. drape support likewise carried by the brackets.
Other objects, advantages and meritorius features of the construction will more fully appear from the following claims, specification and accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the upper portion of a window opening provided with my improved cornice board assembly;
Fig; 2 is a transverse sectional View taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view, partly in elevation, taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a sectional view, partly in elevation, taken on the line 4--4 of Fig. 3; and
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective of a modification.
In the drawing a window opening is illustrated in Fig. 1 framed by a pair of complementary jamb members H] and a header l2. The opening shown in Fig. 1 is provided with a Venetion blind l4. My invention relates to the cornice board assembly which is commonly used in connection with window opening and particularly where Venetian blinds are employed to conceal the header of the blind and its operating parts.
This cornice board assembly includes a pair of complementary brackets, each of which is indicated as I6. Each bracket may be secured to a jamb member ID by screws I8. Each bracket projects outwardly beyond the jamb member. These brackets support a cornice board 26 which extends between the brackets and has end portions 22 turned rearwardly toward the wall as shown particularly in Fig. 2. The cornice board may be fluted lengthwise as at 24 for the sake of appearance and increased rigidity as shown in Fig. 2.
The upper margin and the lower margin of the cornice board are turned over forming marginal flanges which arechannel shaped in crosssection and indicated as 2%. These upper and lower marginal channels are adapted to slidably receive the opposite ends of a pair of supporting plates 23. One plate is provided for each end of the cornice board. Each plate has its end turned over as at 30 so that the intermediate portion of of the plate which extends transversely of the board is spaced rearwardly away from the board as shown in Fig. 3. Each plate is slidably adjustable lengthwise of the board within the marginal channels.
Each plate is provided with a pair of openings 32 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Each bracket is provided along its outer margin with a pair of outwardly and upwardly projecting hooks 34. These hooks are adapted to be received through the openings 32 in the plates 28 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 so that the cornice board will be supported to extend along between and in front of the brackets as shown in Fig. 1. Due to the permitted slidable adjustment of the two plates 28 within the marginal channels of the cornice board, the assembly is adapted to be secured to window openings which vary somewhat in width.
Each bracket is provided with a slot 38 that extends upwardly from its lower margin and is in the shape of an inverted L. A drape supporting rod 40 is adapted to extend between the brackets and be seated within the ends of the slot. The ends of this rod 4! are bent inwardly toward the wall as shown in Fig. 2. The rod or at least those portions thereof seated within the slots is shaped in cross-section to seat within the slots and be held against turning as shown in Fig. 3. This rod is adapted to carry drapes 42. It is apparent that the drapes may extend through the major portion of the slot as shown in Fig. 3 and be folded over the rod 40 to be supported thereby throughout the end portions of the rod as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
In Fig. 5 the cornice board is illustrated as built up of two telescoping end sections indicated as 20a and 20b. One of these sections telescopes within the other through the interengagement of their channel margins so that the two sections may be extended or contracted so as to fit window openings of increased width beyond that provided for by the adjustment of the plates 28 as shown in the construction of Figs. 1 and 2.
What I claim is:
1. A cornice board assembly comprising, in
combination, a pair of complementary jamb brackets, each bracket having a margin provided with an outwardly projecting hook, a cornice board provided upon its rear face with spaced apart upper and lower trackways facing each other, a pair of supporting plates one for each end of the board, each plate extending transversely of the board and having its ends engaged within said trackways and being slidably adjustable along said trackways lengthwise of the board, each plate having an opening adapted to engage over a hook of the bracket to support the board between the brackets.
2. A cornice board assembly comprising, in combination, a pair of complementary jamb brackets, each bracket having an upright margin provided with upper and lower outwardly and upwardly projecting hooks, a cornice board provided upon its rear face with facing spaced apart upper and lower guide channels extending along the upper and lower margins of the board, a pair of supporting plates one for each end portion of the board extending transversely of the board and having their ends slidably supported within said guide channels of the board for adjustment of the plates-lengthwise of the board, each plate supported within the channels of the board with the transversely extending portion of the plate spaced away from the board, each plate provided with upper and lower openings adapted to receive the hooks of the bracket to support the board to extend between the brackets.
3. A cornice board assembly comprising, in combination, a pair of complementary jamb brackets, each bracket having an upright margin provided with upper and lower outwardly and upwardly projecting hooks, a cornice board having its upper and lower margins turned over forming complementary opposed marginal guide channels on the rear face of the board, said board divided into two end sections, one end section telescopingly received within the guide channels of the other end section, a pair of supporting plates one for each end section of the board slidably supported within the guide channels of the board for adjustment lengthwise thereover through the channels, each plate having its intermediate transverse portion spaced from the board and provided with upper and lower openings adapted to receive the upper and lower hooks of the bracket to support the board to extend between the brackets.
4. A cornice board assembly comprising, in combination, a pair of complementary jamb brackets, each bracket having an inverted L- shaped slot extending upwardly thereinto from its lower margin, a drape supporting rod extending between the brackets and seated within the upper ends of said slots to support a drape disposed within the upright portion of the slot, a cornice board adapted to extend between the brackets, said brackets and board provided with cooperating means whereby the board is removably supported upon the brackets.
5. An assembly of the character described comprising, in combination, a pair of complementary jamb brackets, each bracket provided with an inverted L-shaped slot extending upwardly thereinto from its lower margin, a drape supporting rod extending between the brackets receivable through said slots and seated within the upper ends of the slots, said slots and rod shaped in cross-section to interengage each other to hold the rod against rotation about a linear axis, said rod having its ends bent inwardly beyond the brackets, each end portion of the rod adapted to support a drape extending along the rod and through said slot in the bracket.
