Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 7, 1906.

Application filed ugust 29,1905. seen 110,276,260.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALERY T. SLAWOS- ZEWSKI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Shade- Bracket and Curtain-Pole Support, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying'drawlngs.

My invention relates to improvements in a combined shade-bracket and curtain-pole withenlarged portions 7, which prevent the support.

The object of my invention is to provide a 1 device of this character in which the shadebracket and pole-support are both vertically and horizontally adjustable, so that :the same can be readily adjusted to fit windows of different width, and also adapted tozsupport shade-rollers of different widths without cutting the shade-roller.

Another \object of my invention is to provide a device-of this character which is more simple, cheap, and effective than any-device of this character and in which the brackets,

may be placed in approximately the proper place and the same adjustment to suit the shade-roller, which is the reverseof the usual method.

Inthe accompanying drawings, Figure 1; is a front elevation ofa-window-fiamashowring my improved bracket for supportingthe f shade-roller and curtain-pole and .also;-show-. ing the bracket applied for supporting the picture-molding. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of Fig. 1, showing more specifically the relative positions of the shade-roller, the curtainpole, and the picture-molding. enlarged perspective view of one of the brackets, showing more specifically the 'cur-' tain pole and shade-roller supporting means.

Referring now to the drawings, 1 repreand injuring the woodwork of the window frame. The said screw-eyes 2,as shown, have Fig. 3 is an;

vertically disposed openings 4, through which passes the pole and shade-roller supaportingrod5,'which is-adapted to be adjusted within the screw-eyes for either vertically or horizontally adjusting both the shade and curtain. The said -screw-eyes are provided with set-screws 6, which pass through the r-screw-eyes andintersect the openings 4 and are adapted to engage the rods 5 and hold them in their adjusted position within the screw-eyes.

The upper ends of the rods 5 areprovided 10, through which the laterally-turned arms :8 pass and upon which the said shadeibraokets are adapted to be oscillated. The lower sides .ofsaid sleeve are provided with set-screws 11, by means of which the sleeve is held in its adjusted position, the said sleeves being=adjustable longitudinallyonthe :arms 8 for bringingthe shade nearer or farther away from the window, asdesired.

Loosely carried by the outer ends of the arms 8 are elongated sleeves '12, which are longitudinally adjustable on the arms and which are held thereon against rotation or longitudinal movement by means :of set :screws 13, which engage the arms 8. The said sleeves, as clearly shown, are externally screw-threaded for holding the curtain-polesupporting arms, whereby the poles of different sizes :and diameters may be readily held in proper position. The pole-supporting brackets consist of two independent memhere '15 and 16, having screw-thr'eadedopenings 17, which are screwed upon the sleeves 12, and said members 15 and 16 are provided with upwardly-extending arms 18 and 19, between which the curtain-pole passes, the poleresting upon the sleeves 12 and the arms preventing of any lateral movement thereof. It will be readily seen that the ro- :tation of either of the members15 or 16 on the sleeve 12 will cause the same to move longitudinally on the sleeve, and thus increase the space between the arms 18 and 19 for receiving poles of different size and also allowing of the arms being oscillated for keeping them in a vertical position when the device is adjusted to receive a shade-roller of greater or less width. The outer arm 16 is provided with a set-screw 20, by means of which the pole is firmly clamped between the arms and 16 and held. against longitudinal movement. The extreme outer ends of the laterally-turned arms 8 have balls carried thereby for ornamentation and also for preventing the sleeve from passing-therefrom when the set-screws are released.

As shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1 of the drawings, the screw-eyes may be relatively angularly adjusted and the rods either ex." tended downward or upward, and thus vertically and horizontally adjusting the shadebracket and the pole-supporting member, the same being adjustable, as heretofore described, so that they may be adjusted in a vertical position, and thus my device is laced approximately in the proper position, but is adjusted to suit the width of the shade to be used and also vertically adjustable, as

desired.

While I have shown my bracket especially applied for supporting the shade-rollerand curtain-pole, it is understood that the same could be readily used in supporting the picture-molding 21, which allows of the ready placing of the molding thereon and also prevents the injury of the wall by the nailing of the molding thereon. These brackets are placed from six to eight feet apart on the wall, but may be placed'any distance apart. As shown in Fig. 2, the brackets 2 and rods 5 are precisely like the form used for supporting the shade-roller and curtain-pole, with the exception that it is not provided with the screw-threaded sleeves 12, but is provided with a sleeve 22, which is slidably mounted .on the laterally-turned end of the bar and is provided with a set-screw 23, by means of which the sleeve is held in its adjusted position. The upper face of said sleeve is provided with an upwardly-extending lug 24, which is adapted to engage the molding 21, and said lug having a set-screw 25, which firmly clamps the same against the vertical portion of the bar, and thus the molding is removably supported. The raising and lowering of the molding is accom plished in precisely the same manner as the raising and lowering of the shade-bracket and curtain-pole supporting means.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a vertical frame, of a member carried by the frame and relato, an arm vertically adjustably supported by the said member, and a shade-bracket horizontally adjustable on said arm and rela tively angularly adjustable in respect to said arm.

2. The combination with a vertical frame, of a member carried by the frame and relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto, an arm vertically adjustably supported by the said member, and pole and shade brackets horizontally adjustable on said arm and relatively angularly adjustable in respect to said arm.

I 3. The combination with a vertical frame,

of members carried by the frame and relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto, arms vertically adjustably supported by the said members, shade and curtain-pole brackets carried by said members and means whereby the curtain-pole and shade brackets may be relatively angularly adjustable in respect to said arms. 1. The combination with a vertical frame, of screw-eyes carried by the frame and relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto, rods vertically adjustable in said screweyes, shade and curtain-pole brackets carried by said rods, and longitudinally adjustable thereon, and relatively angularly adjustable in respect to said rods.

5. The combination with a vertical frame, of screw-eyes carried by the frame and relatively and angularly adjustable in respect thereto, rods adjustably held in said screweyes, said rods having laterally-turned hori zontal lower ends, and shade and curtainpole brackets longitudinally adjustable on the horizontal lower ends, and relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto.

6. The combination with a vertical frame, of screw-eyes carried thereby and relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto, vertically-disposed adjustable rods carried by said eyes, set-screws carried by the eyes for holding said rods in their adjusted position, said rods having laterally-turned horizontal lower ends and shade and curtain-pole brackets longitudinally adjustably held upon said laterally-turned ends of the rods and relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto.

7. The combination with a vertical frame, of screw-eyes relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto, vertically-disposed adjustable rods carried by said eyes, set-screws 1 6 5 tively angularly adjustable in respect thereing said sleeves on the rods, nuts screwed -upon said sleeves and having radially-extending arms between which the curtain-pole is adapted to rest, and set-screws carried by the said radial arms for engaging and holding the curtain-pole.

8. The combination with a vertical frame, of screw-eyes carried thereby and relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto, rods adjustably held in said screw-eyes and having laterally-turned lower ends, a pole sup ported by said laterally-turned ends, and a sliding sleeve carried by the laterally-turned end and having an upwardly-extending lug adapted to engage the pole and clamp the same against the rod and means for holding said sleeve in its adjusted position.

9. The combination with a vertical frame, of screw-eyes carried thereby and relatively angularly adjustable in respect thereto, rods adjustably held in said screw-eyes and hav ing laterally-turned lower ends, a pole supported by said laterally-turned ends, and a sleeve slidably mounted upon the laterallyturned ends on the outside of the poleand adapted to clamp the pole thereon.
