Various Angles (for Curtain and other Rods).
I SAMUEL RICHARDSON of No. 14 Tabernacle Strect in the City of Bangor North
Wales (Tin & Coppersmith) do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A knee-joint, the two ends of which being of smaller diameter than the joint itself,
allowing of their being inserted into hollow tubes and form an easy surface for
rings to run easy over the tube and the joints when fixed together, and so form curtain
rods or poles, to follow the bends and surfaces of Bay-windows, at any angle that may
be required.
The joint will be made in Brass, Iron, or any other material, and of all sizes suitable
for the work it is or may be adapted for.

Various Angles for Curtain and other Rods.
I SAMUEL RICHARDSON of Number 14 Tabernacle Street in the City of Bangor,
North Wales, Tinian and Brazier 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 :-
My said invention relates to improvements in the construction of poles, or rods
which are designed for carrying curtains, and other purposes in any angle, corner, or
bend where such a pole may be required.

page_text: The said Knee Joint is constructed in such a manner, that it can easily be attached
to the ends of Rods or poles, and when attached will form a level surface at any angle
for the easy running of Rings over the Joint. Straight Rods or Poles with my
improved Knee Joint, will make the required angle to suit any bend, or corner, in
any window or room where a pole or Rod can be used for carrying curtains or any
other purpose.
Having explained the nature of my invention I shall now proceed to describe it by
reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1. is a plan of the Joint, which I use showing the extended ends which may
be fixed to the Rods or Poles to form with then a level surface round bends, or
corners.
Fig. 2. is a plan of the Joint which I use bent to form an angle, the Joint will
form any angle.
Fig. 3. is a side view of the Joint which I use showing the pin or Axis in dotted
lines, and the manner in which the Joint is formed.
of
Fig. 4. is a section of the Joint which I use taken at A. B. in Fig. 3.
Fig. 5. is a section of the Joint which I use taken at C. D. in Fig. 3.
Now I wish it to be understood, that I do not bind myself to use in the construction
uly invention a Joint exactly like the one described and shown in my drawings.
My invention is equally for any kind of Joint applied to a bend in a pole or Rod for
any corner or angle, for carrying curtains and other purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
1. The application of a Knee or other Joint to Rods and poles for carrying curtains
and other purposes.
2. The construction and attaching of a Knee Joint to straight or bent poles or
Rods for carrying curtains and other purposes, in such a manner that the Joint shall
form part of the pole or Rod, and shall present a level and even surface at any angle,
to allow of the easy running of the rings over the Joint.
Dated this 8th day of March 1887.
SAMUEL RICHARDSON.
