page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
ROBERT MOTAGGART 36 Stevenson drive Crossmyloof in the County of
Renfrewshire Scotland N B and I do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW BLIND ROLLERS AND FITTINGS FOR SAME to be as
follows:-
For the improvement of rasining lowering & fixing blinds on said roller.
The roller D and tube E and drop or botton rod i are all made of tin and can be
extended out to suit various sizes of windows-The tube E is passed through & hem
at top of blind and then slipped inside of roller D the blind hanging through grove
or slit in roller D-thus saving the trouble of tacking the blind on to roller and
also ensuring the certainty of the blind allways hanging fair-The side and end
mountings are all made of brass-The arranginent for raising and lowering are such
that the cord cannot get out of its place and thus prevent the proper working of the
blind-There being no springs or intricate fastenings the whole can be fitted up or
taken down by the most inexperienced person.
I have also dispensed with springs and thereby lessened the possibility of the
mountings getting out of working order.
The end mountings are made of brass & ny arrangement of construction being ao
simple as to save a considerable time in fixing the same on window, and when fixed
in position cannot get out of order.
Fig: A is a front elevation & plan view showing that part of mounting in
position.
Fig: B is a front & plan view with tongue as catch acting upon ratchet wheel.
C, is a front & plan view of ratchet wheel.
D, is a front & end view showing roller closed and extended.
E, is a front & end view of roller for hanging blind on-showing it closed &
extended.
F, is a front & sectional view for winding cord on to roller blind.
G, is a front & side view of end mounting and for covering cord drum,
E is a front view of plate fixed on end of roller for attaching drum roller.
I, is a front & end view of drop rod for blind.
The benefits of my invention of window roller & blind mountings are as follows:-
First-The roller B is made of tin & can be extended out to suit various sizes of
T

which is inserted in roller B with blind hanging therefrom through groove or slit
causing the blind to hang fair & saving time in fixing blind on to roller.
-
The ends A & G are screwed on to side of window & the roller is sliped on to the
centre of plate G ou right hand of window & the left band is lifted up & sliped into
groove in plate A, and when taking down roller to undo blind, lift roller out of
plate A and draw down to remove blind from roller for cleaning-unscrew plate F
and draw out tube E with blind attached, and in fitting up the blind pass tube E
through hem in blind and replace it inside tube D, then screw on plate F & put
roller with blind in position in window as before described.
Drop or button rod for blind is made of tin and extends out in same manner as
tube D, giving the extra advantage to suit various sizes of windows.
Plate G is a box-covering for cord roller to prevent the cord getting out of
position obviating the annoyance of cord jamming the roller, thereby preventing
the blind from working.

Renfrewshire Scotland NB I do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW BLIND ROLLERS AND FITTINGS FOR SAME and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The following is a description of my improvements in window blind rollers and
blind mountings for sides or ends, and for raising lowering and fixing blinds on
said roller, I have also dispensed with springs and thereby lessened the possibility
of the mountings getting out of working order,-The mountings are made of brass
and my arrangements of construction being so simple as to save a considerable time
in fixing the same on windows and when fixed in position cannot get out of order.
Refering to the drawings annexed to my proisional specifaction
Figure A is a front elevation and plan view showing that part of mounting in
position.
Figure B is a front and plan view with tongue as catch acting upon ratchet
wheel.
Figure C is a front and plan view of ratchet.
Figure D is a front and end view showing roller closed and extended, Figure E
is a front and end view of roller for hanging blind on showing it closed and
exteneded.
Figure F is a front and sectional view for winding cord on to roll blind.
Figure G is a front and side view of end mounting and for covering cord drum.
Figure H is a front view of plate fixed in end of roller for attaching drum roller.
Figure I is a front and end view of drop rod for blind showing it closed and
extended.
The benifits of my invention of window roller and blind mountings, are as
follows, first the roller B is made of tin and can be extended out to suit various
sizes of windows, having a grove or slit from end to end with corresponding tin
tube E which is inserted in roller B with blind hanging therefrom through grove
or slit causing the blind to hang fair and saving time in fixing blind on to roller
the ends A and G are screwed on to side of window-and the roller is sliped on to
the centre of plate G on right hand of window and the left hand is lifted up and
sliped into grove in plate A,-and when taking down roller to undo blind lift roller
out of plate A and draw down,-to remove blind from roller for cleaning unscrew
plate F, and draw out tube E with blind attached, and in fitting up the blind pass
tube E through hem in blind, and replace it inside tube D then screw on plate F
and put roller with blind in position in window as before described,-Drop or
bottom rod for blind is made of tin, and extends out in same manner as tube D
giving extra advantge to suit various sizes of windows-plate G is a box-covering
for cord roller to prevent the cord getting out of position obvaiting the annoyance
of cord jamming the roller thereby preventing the blind from working.

page_text: 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
Brass tongue or catch B,-2nd tin telescopice (D) roller with groove or slit,
3rd small telescopice tube (E) for hanging blind, 4th cover G for cord drum
5th telescopice drop rod I.
