We illustrate herewith an improved curtain fixture, which may be
adjusted to windows or curtains of different widths, and is adapted
for use in connection with different means for raising and lowering
the curtain. Fig. 1 represents the device in place, a portion of the
cornice being broken away to exhibit it; and Fig. 2 shows the same in
detail.
[Illustration: Improved Curtain Fixture Figs. 1 and 2]
Attached to the cornice are guides, A, in which are sliding loops, B.
The latter may be adjusted to suit the position of the hooks placed in
the window case to sustain the cornice, so that said hooks need not be
set with any particularity. The curtain roller, C, has both its ends
screw-threaded, to receive hollow pulleys, as shown. The spindles
projecting from these pulleys are inclosed in coiled springs which
press against the bearings, D, and so hold the shade in any position
in which it may be placed. The bearings, D, are clasped in the ways,
A, and are laterally adjustable. Sliding blocks are also arranged in
said ways, and through each block passes a set screw, E. It will be
perceived that the bearings may be readily adjusted to curtains of
different widths, and the parts may afterward be locked in position by
the set screws, E. The curtain may be raised or lowered by cords wound
on the hollow pulleys.
Patented December 5, 1876, by Mr. K. J. Pospisil. For further
