PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
Improved Bracket for Window Blind Rollers.
:
GEORGE BENSON, Linen Warehouseman, 159, New Bond Street, London, W.,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
A bracket for carrying the plain end of a window blind mounting provided
with a vertical slot in its downwardly extending arm; a bar pivotally mounted
upon said arm and adapted to project across said slot and form a bearing seat;
and a supporting foot or device for sustaining said pivoted bar in. opérative
position.
I illustrate my invention by the drawings of Fig. A, and Fig. A 1...
Fig. A is the bracket with bar in position to form a bearing. Fig. A 1 is the
bracket with the bar swung up out of the way so that the pivot of the blind
mounting roller can be inserted in the slot.
In Figures and A 1, B is the slot between the two arms of the bracket,
C is the foot on which the bar 1 rests when in position as a bearing, and
E is a stop for keeping the bar D perpendicular and in line with the near arm
of the bracket, thus leaving the slot 1 free for the entrance of the pivot of the
blind roller.
The pivot having been placed in the slot B, the bar D is allowed to fall into
a horizontal position and becomes a bearing.
My object is to provide a bracket which will support the pivoted end of a
blind roller and allow it to revolve freely; and will also be one in which the
mounting can be placed in position or withdrawn easily and rapidly.

GEORGE BENSON, Linen Warehouseman, 159, New Bond Street, London, W.,
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:-
A bracket for carrying the plain end of a window blind mounting provided
with a vertical slot in its downwardly extending arm; a bar pivotally mounted
upon said arm and adapted to project across said slot and form a bearing seat;
and a supporting foot or device for sustaining said pivoted bar in operative
position.

page_text: I illustrate my invention by the drawings of Fig. A and Fig. A 1-filed with
my Provisional Specification.
"Fig. A shows the bracket with the bar D in position to form a bearing,
C is the supporting foot for the bar D, and E is a stop curved to fit the bearing
hollow on the bar D placed on the front arm of the bracket so that the bar D,
when swung up, comes exactly in line with said arm.
Fig. A 1 shows the bar D swung up, thereby leaving the slot B clear for the
entrance of the pivot of the blind roller. The slot B is made long enough for
the bar D to clear the blind pivot easily when falling into position.
To insert the blind pivot place it at the bottom of the slot B and push
it up to the top. This will swing up the bar D. When the pivot has reached
the top of the slot B the bar D will fall into position and form a bearing.
To take out the pivot push it up to the top of the slot B; then, by its pro-
jecting end, swing up the bar D as shown in Fig. A 1, and withdraw the pivot
out of the slot B.
My object is to provide a bracket which will take up little room, can not get
out of order, provides a suitable bearing for the pivot of a blind roller, and
allows the blind roller to be easily and rapidly placed in, or taken out of, the
bracket.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A carrying bracket having a downwardly extending arm with a vertical slot
in its end portion; a bar pivotally mounted upon said arm and adapted to project
across said slot and form a hearing seat; and a supporting foot, or device, for
sustaining said pivoted bar in operative position; substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.
