PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Bracket for Window Blind Rollers or the like:.
JOSEPH COOк, Ramford Hotel, Parr, St. Helens, Licensed Victualler do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for an improved bracket for window
blind rollers or the like to be as follows:-
An improved adjusting bracket for window blind rollers or the like, having cut-
away slots U shape in the place of the ordinary holes for the purpose of attaching
to window frame. Round headed screws with square shoulders would be preferable
In fixing rollers to windows with the old method of brackets, it is often
the case that the roller is cut too long or too short to fit brackets, or if the roller is
cut to length first and the brackets are adjusted to suit length of roller it is often
the case that the unevenness of the window frame or the rough casting of brackets
cause the brackets when screwed up to bind either too tightly on the roller or
otherwise allowing the roller too much freedom. My bracket is made with
U slots looking right or left top or bottom to allow bracket to move right &.
left top & bottom or with oval or oblong slots.

JOSEPH COOк, Licensed Victualler, Ramford Hotel, Parr, St. Helens,.
Lancashire, 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 :-
An improved adjusting bracket, for window rollers, or the like; which is made
with oblong, oval, or U shaped slots, in the place of the ordinary screw holes,
which is used for the purpose, of attaching bracket to the window frame. In.
attaching brackets to windows, round headed screws, with square shoulders, would
be preferable to use. In fixing rollers to windows, with the old method of brackets,
it is often the case, when the brackets are screwed to the frame, that the roller, is
either cut to long, or to short, to fix in the brackets; or if the roller, is cut to
length first, and the brackets are adjusted, to suit the length of roller, it is often
the case, that the unevenness of the window frame, or the rough casting of brackets,
cause the brackets when screwed up, to bind, either to tightly, on the roller, or
otherwise allowing the roller, to much freedom.
Fig. 1. shows side arm of bracket, A. denoting two oblong slots, crossing each
other, in the shape of a Maltese cross, for the purpose of attaching bracket, to the
side of the window frame, and to allow the saine to be moved, up, or down,..
forwards, or backwards.

page_text: Fig. 2. B. B' shows horizontal oblong slots, in the foot of bracket, for the
purpose of being moved sideways, to right, or to left, in case of the roller, being
cut to long, or to short.
Fig. 4. D. D' shows horizontal U shaped slots, answering the same purpose, as
Fig. 2. slots B. B' only that the brackets, may be removed, from the window frame
without taking the screws, out of the frame.
Fig. 3. shows perpendicular oblong slots C. C' for the purpose of moving the
bracket up, or down, to correct any uneven winding of the blind.
Fig. 5. Perpendicular U shaped slots E. E answers the same purpose, as
slots C. C Fig. 3. in that case the bracket may be removed from the frame,
without taking the screws out of the frame. The slots C. C' Fig. 3. may be made,
crossing slots B. B' Fig. 2. as at A, Fig. 1. in that case the bracket could be
adjusted backwards, or forwards, up, or down. The brackets can be stamped, or
cast, from any suitable material.
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 ;
Window blind roller brackets, made with slots, as shown, on the drawing in
Figs. 1. 2. 3. 4 & 5, in the place of ordinary screw boles, for the purpose of easy
adjustment.
