Abstract: 20,274. Widdicombe, M. E. Sept. 26. [Cognate Application No. 20,922, A.D. 1908, dated Oct. 3.] Curtains, drawing and suspending.-In means for raising and lowering curtains bodily, the curtainpole A normally rests in brackets B with the lower part turned towards the wall as shown. The usual cords D, D<1> for lifting and guiding the pole to and from the brackets may be attached to the pole by an eyelet A<1> and pass over pulleys C, C<1> on the brackets. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the lower part B<1> of the bracket is hinged so as to allow the pole to drop. The pole rests, when raised, partly on the hinged part and partly on the fixed part of the bracket. The brackets and lifting-cords may be fitted to a detachable box cornice. In a modified arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the curtain is carried by the usual rings on cords, wires, &c. K, one end of the cord being fastened to a bracket L and the other passing over a guide or pulley M to within reach of the operator, or the cords may be free at each end. In another arrangement for more than one curtain intermediate guides or pulleys are employed so that the cord drops in one or more loops to lower the curtain. The cord arrangement may be fitted to a cornice so as to conceal the fittings from view.
