PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Combined Blind Roller, Curtain Rod, and Cornice.
I, JAMES ALEXANDER WALKER, trading as Falet, Walker & Co., of 20 Worship
Street, London, Artistic Upholsterer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of this invention, is to combine in one article, a blind roller, curtain
rod or rods and a cornice in a novel manner, so that the whole can be easily affixed
to a window by screws, or otherwise.
For the purpose of my invention, I form a kind of box for containing a blind
roller at the back part of a cornice.
The box has a narrow opening at its under part, through which the blind passes,
so that when the blind is drawn up into the box it is kept clean and free from dust.
and dirt, and concealed from view.
The curtain rod or rods are attached to the underside of the cornice, or to a
backing, or to end pieces, and the front of the cornice may be ornamented as
desired.
The combined blind roller, curtain rod, and cornice can be used for various sized
windows by simply making the blind to the size of the window.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Combined Blind Roller, Curtain Rod, and Cornice.
I JAMES ALEXANDER WALKER, trading as Falet Walker & Co., of 20 Worship
Street, London, Artistic Upholsterer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to combine a blind roller, curtain rod or rods and
a cornice in a novel manner so that the whole can be easily affixed as one article to
a window by screws or otherwise.
My invention will be clearly understood by reference to the annexed drawings,
in which
Figure 1 is a part perspective section of a combined blind roller, curtain rod and
cornice, the blind roller being under the cornice.
Figure 2 is a part perspective section of a combined blind roller, curtain rods and
cornice, in which the blind roller is above the cornice.
Figure 3, is an underside view of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is an underside view of Figure 2.
For the purpose of my invention I form a kind of box A for containing a blind
roller B at the back part of a cornice. The box A has a narrow opening Dat
its under part through which the blind E passes so that when the blind is drawn up
into the box it is kept clean and free from dust and dirt and concealed from
view.
The curtain rod or rods F are attached to the underside of the cornice C or to a
backing G as shown or to end pieces and the front H of the cornice C may be
ornamented as desired.

page_text: The combined blind roller, curtain rod and cornice when made up can be used for
various widths of windows the blind alone being fitted to the size of the particular
window to which my invention is applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
Combining a blind roller, with curtain rod or rods, and a cornice so that they can
be fitted as one article as described and substantially in the manner shown in the
drawings.
