Improvements in Window Roller-blind Brackets and Roller Ends
and Fittings.
I, JOHN HART SANKEY, of Essex Wharf, Canning Town, in the County of Essex,
Lime and Cement Merchant, 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 improvements consist in making roller blind brackets and roller ends and filling
in two or more parts whereby those parts of the brackets and roller ends which are
most liable to wear out can be removed and replaced by similar parts when worn out,
thus obviating the necessity of taking down and removing the whole bracket or roller
end and refixing a complete and entire new bracket or roller end. The improvements
consist in making one part of the bracket a permanent fixture to the window frame,
such part containing a frame or socket for the other or removable part to fit into.
The other or removable part contains the hole or slot in which the pin or projecting
part of the roller end revolves and is made to fit into the frame, or socket of the part
permanently fixed, so as to be removable and easily replaced by another similar part
when worn out.
The pin or projecting part of the roller end upon which the roller revolves is also
made to be removable by means of a screw end with a large thread which can be
removed and replaced by another when worn out. The brackets and the framework
or sockets on them as well as the parts to fit into them are made in various shapes,
