PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or connected with Rings for Supporting
Curtains and the like.
I, EDWIN BOWYER GAZE, of 7 Faufax Road, Hornsey, in the County of
London, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
Rings for supporting curtains and the like are generally composed of the main.
ring through which the pole of iod passes, and a second ring or loop set in a plaue
at light angles to the main ung, to which latter it is attached by rivetting o
the like
This construction presents disadvantages in that it is expensive to
manufacture and the second ring is able to become detached from the main
Ling.
Now according to my invcution, and to obviate the disadvantages of the
foregoing constinction, I form both the main and second rings from one piece of
metal, say of wire, either solid, tubular, or other wise, by bending or twisting the
said material in such manner that the second ring is formed or divided from the
main ring by twisting a part of the said main ing upon itself, so that the said
smaller second ring is divided from the main ring by the aforesaid twisted part;
the second ring may thus be set in a plane at right angles to the first as usual, or
In the same plane as the first, and 18 adapted to receive the hook of the ordinary
curtain suspenders or safety pins
Such a construction of ring is also particularly well adapted for use with what
18 known as the "Ideal" suspending hook, composed of a wire folded upon itself
and again partially folded, so that tho two separated onds may be passed through
the material to be supported, which latter rests at the loop end while the
separate bent points are passed through the second loop of the curtain ring
hei cubefore described

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or connected with Rings for Supporting
Curtains and the like.
I, EDWIN BOWYER GAZE, of 7 Fan fax Road, Hornsey in the County of
London Gentleman, 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, that is to say
Rings for supporting curtains and the like are generally composed of the main
ring though which the pole or rod passes, and a second ng or loop set in a plane
at right angles to the main ring, to which latter it is attached by rivetting or
the like. This construction presonts disadvantages in that it is expensive to

page_text: manufacture and the second ring is liable to become detached from the main
ring.
Now according to my invention, and to obviate the disadvantages of the
foregoing construction, I form both the main and second rings from one piece of
metal, and in order that my said invention may be readily understood I will
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 showing
rings, so formed, applied to a curtain pole, and Figs 2 and 3 are respectively end
and front elevations of such rings drawn to a larger scale than the pievious figure
to more exactly shew the construction.
The device is formed from endless wire either sold, tubular, or otherwise, by
bending or twisting same to form the aforesaid main ring A and second ring B.
The second ng B is formed or divided from the main ring A as shown by twisting
a part of the said main ring A upon itself so that the said smaller second ring B is
divided from the main ng A, by the aforesaid twisted part; the second ring B
may thus be set in a plane at right angles to the first, as shewn, or in the same
plane as the first, and is adapted to receive the hook of any usual or ordinary
curtain suspenders, such as at C Fig. 1; or safety pins of the like may be
employed with such rings.
Such a construction of ring, is also particularly well adapted for use, with what
is known as the "Ideal" suspending hook, such as is indicated at D Fig. 1
composed of a wire folded upon itself aud again partially folded as clearly shown
at Figs. 2 and 3, so that the two separated end D' may be passed through the
material to be supported which latter est at the loop end D while the separate
bent points D'aie passed through the second ng B of the curtain ring herein-
before described.
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 18-
1. A ring for supporting curtains and the like formed from a continuous or
endless wire of desued section, either hollow or solid, such being twisted or bent
upon itself to produco a main ing A and a second smaller ing B substantially as
set forth.
2. The construction of mngs for supporting curtains and the like from poles oi
rode, adapted to be employed in conjunction with bent we hooks or "Ideal"
fasteners or with other hooks or fasteners all substantially as aud for the purposes
described and illustrated with reference to the accompanying diawings
