holders which may be aitached to the framework of a chair or sofa or bedstead or
to a wall or pillar or any other securo fixing, the positions of auch slots or holders,
and, consequently, the design of the carrier, to bo determined by the shape &

We do not confine ourselves to the number of upright standards nor to the
number of feet nor to the number of joints.
We claim to have invented a screen curtain carrier which is adaptable for its
purpose to chairs, sofas beds open spaces corners or angles of rooms and which can
be used in such a way that a curtain will intercept draughts on every side.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what wo
clain is―
The shape of the carrier in conjunction with the positions of the joints, the two
together (ie., the shape and the positions of the joints), enabling an article of
furniture, or a space, or a person to be protected from draughts in an easy and
effectual manner.
