to the letter L, the horizontal portion of which is recessed to receive the roller
board of the blind, and the vertical portion is flanged or otherwise formed to.
receive screws. I secure a bracket so constructed at each side of the window
frame by means of screws passing through the flange or flanges at the top thereof.
The roller board of the blind rests in the recesses in the bracket, the weight of
the blind keeping it in place.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Venetian Blind Bracket.
I, JAMES CLARK, of 12 Hanover Street, Haverstock Hill, in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer, 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 enable Venetian blinds to be readily secured
in position without attaching the same to the window frames by means of screws
as at present.
Now according to this invention I provide a bracket somewhat similar in shape
to the letter L, the horizontal portion of which is recessed to receive the roller
board of the blind and the vertical portion is flanged or otherwise formed to receive
screws.
I secure a bracket so constructed at each side of the window frame by means of
screws passing through the flange or flanges at the top thereof.
The roller board of the blind rests in the recesses in the bracket, the weight of
the blind keeping it in place.
And in order that my said invention may be fully understood, I will proceed.
to explain the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in
which
Figure 1 represents side view of a Venetian blind bracket constructed according
to this invention.
Figure 2 shews the brackets supporting the roller board.
The same letters denote the same parts in both figures.
a is the bracket which is preferably constructed of metal, either wrought,.
stamped or cast, b is a flange provided with holes c to receive screws for securing
the bracket to the window frame, d is a recess in which rests the roller board f.
As will be seen on referring to Figure 2 the brackets are made in pairs so that
when attached to the frame the flanges & project inwards towards the centre of
the window.

page_text: The weight of the blind is quite sufficient to keep the roller board in its place
and the blinds may be removed and replaced in a few minutes for painting, dusting,
cleaning, repairs, and other purposes without removing any screws
fastenings.
or other
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A bracket a for holding Venetian blinds of approximately L shape, having a
recess in the horizontal portion thereof to receive the roller board, and a flange b
on the vertical portion thereof, for attaching the bracket to the window frame
substantially as described and shewn by the accompanying drawing.
