CURTAIN-POLE BRACKET.

SPCIFICATIN forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,151, dated August 21, 1888.

Application filed June Q3, 1888. Serial No. 978,012.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, HENRY REUBEL, of the city, county, and State of New York, and THEoDoRE LINDEERG, of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ourtain-Pole Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved cur 1o tain-pole bracket of that class which can be extended forward,so as to be adjustable at any desired distance from the wall, said extensible bracket being of simple construction and eapable of being locked securely in position :5 Without the use of clampingscrews,which are liable to get lost or broken, so as to render the bracket useless.

The invention consists of an extensible curtain-pole bracket composed ot' a V-shaped snp 2o porting-bracket that is attached to the wall and provided in its upper horizontal portion with holes, and of an adjustable pole-carrying arm, the shank of which is guided in the bracket and locked thereto by a pin which engages one of the holes oi' the same, the arm being retained in position on the bracket by a spring attached to the saine and bearing on the under side of the shank.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l 3o represents a side elevation, partly in section,

of our improved extensible curtain pole bracket. Fig. 2 is a top view of a part ofthe same. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on line .t a', Fig. ,l5 and Fig. 4 is avertical longitudinal section oi' a portion oI'ou r bracket, showing a modified construction of the saine.

Similar letters of relbrence indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a 4o V-shaped bracket, which is preferably made ot' one piece and provided with bent-up and perforated ends for receiving screws, by which the bracket is screwed to the wood-work of the door or window-casing.

The bracket Ais provided in its upper horizontal portion with holes a, which are engaged by a pin, Z), at the rear end ofthe shank B of the pole'supporting arm B, said shank being guided in an opening, d, at the front end of (No model.)

the bracket A, and acted upon by the free end 5o cfa spring, O, which is riveted to the inner front part of the bracket A. The spring C serves to press the shank B iu upward direction against the perforated horizontal part of the bracket A, so that the pin b is firmly re- 5 5 tained in the hole a,into which it has been iu serted. The pin b may either be riveted to the arm B or dropped loosely through one of the holes a into a hole of the arm B,as shown respectively in Figs. l and 4.

For adjusting the supporting arm B, the shank .B is pressed downward against the tension of the spring C until its pin b is released from the hole t of the bracket A, after which it is moved either forward or backwardin the bracket A, according to the distance at which the pole is to be supported from the wall. The pin b is then inserted into one of the next holes ci, and the arm B retained in position by the pressure of the spring O on the shank B and the locking action of the spring.

Our extensible curtain-pole bracket has the advantage that, with the exception of the usual pole-retaining screw at the front end of the bowl of the supporting-arm, it has no detachable parts at all, so that it is always ready for adjustment and cannot get out of order by the loss ofthe clampngscrews heretofore used with brackets of this class.

Having thus described our invention, we S0 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with a bracket having holes in its horizontal portion, of a pole-sup porting arm guided in said bracket, a pin for connecting the supporting-arm to one of said holes, and a spring attached to the bracket and retaining the supporting-arm firmly in position, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as 9c our invention we have signed our names in presence `of two subscribing witnesses.

HENRY REUBEL. THEODORE LTNDBERG.
