Improvements in Suspending Window or other Curtains.
I, JOHN CORBLUTII, Manufacturer, of 300 Tabard Street, Borough, in the
County of Surrey, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention for improvements in suspending window or other curtains has
for its object to facilitate the putting up or taking down of window and other
curtains and consists essentially in suspending the curtain from a rod or pole which
can be raised or lowered by means of cords passing over pulleys.
In one arrangement of window apparatus according to this invention the pole
brackets, secured to the window frame with their jaws turned downwards, have
mounted at their tops in the plane of the window, pulleys over which cords pass
and are secured to the curtain pole so that the pole can be drawn tightly up against
the jaws of the brackets. Both cords are of course brought to the same side of
the window and fastened.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Suspending Window or other Curtains.
1 JOHN CORBLUTH, Manufacturer, late of 300 Tabard Street, Borough, in the
County of Surrey, but now of 17 Holywell Row, Curtain Road, in the County
of London, 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 :-
This invention for improvements in suspending window or other curtains has for
its object to facilitate the putting up or taking down of window and other curtains
and consists essentially in suspending the curtain from a rod or pole which can be
raised or lowered by means of cords passing over pulleys.
In one arrangement of window apparatus according to this invention the pole
brackets secured to the window frame with their jaws turned downwards have
mounted at their tops, in the plane of the curtain, pulleys over which cords
secured to the curtain pole pass so that the pole can be drawn tightly up against
the jaws of the brackets. Both cords are of course brought to the same side of
the window and fastened.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings:-Fig. 1 is a front view of
a window curtain apparatus constructed according to this invention and Figs. 2
and 3 are end views of the right and left brackets respectively.
The curtain pole a is secured at its left end to the cord b passing over the
pulley of the left bracket d, thence over the pulley e of the right bracket f and
thence down the right side of the window frame. The right end of the curtain
pole a is secured to a cord 9 passing over a pulley h at the side of the pulley e
of the right bracket and thence passing down the right side of the window
frame. The two cords 6 and g are secured together at a suitable point at the
right side so that both cords are operated simultaneously to raise or lower the
[ Porn 1

page_text: curtain pole. Any suitable known form of catch can be employed for holding
the cords in the desired position. If desired to secure the cord g to the pole at
the right of the bracket f a second guide pulley may be employed below the
pulley e, the cord passing between the pulleys before being secured to the pole.
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 :-
1. Suspending the curtain pole or rod from the window frame by cords passing
over guide pulleys so that the pole can be readily raised or lowered as desired,
substantially as described.
2. The window curtain pole apparatus substantially as described with reference
to the drawings.
