t
Improvements in Blinds for Inside the Angles of Shop Windows and
the like,
I, GEORGE HENRY CREEK, of London House, Combmartin, in the County of
Devonshire, Draper and Outfitter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in blinds for inside the angles of shop
windows and the like.
Great trouble has been caused with inside blinds to shop windows by the sun
coming between the two blinds at the angle where it is impossible to get the two
blinds to meet, thus there is an opening where the sun comes in and spoil the
goods exposed to view. All this may be avoided by my invention which is a blind
which clips around the outside of the corners of the other blinds and it is pulled up
and let down without disturbing the windows.
At the top of the angle of shop windows I fix an angle iron and to this angle iron
I attach the top of the blind, the said blind being made of any suitable material,
and to the bottom of the blind I enclose another angle iron this said angle iron is
used to keep the blind down by its weight to the shape of the angle of the window,
also as a weight to pull it down in its place or to draw it up by means of a cord or
line. The cord or line runs through pulleys or screwed eyelets and may be fastened
to a cleat.
The top iron has to be the same shape with the holes for cords or lines to run
them on, not exactly the same distance from the outer point of irons but sufficient
to allow the under one to run up easily to the top one inch difference would do,
this inch keeps the 'under iron from rubbing up and down and prevents its
hitching. These iron angles will be made in the form of hinges tightly fitted or
otherwise so that they may be adjusted to any window or pulled out straight and
used in the middle of two blinds in a large window where the windows takes two
rollers and the blinds cannot be made to meet. The angle and stopchink blind
runs on two strings or pieces of wire from top to bottom as a guide, the holes
in the material would be about one inch apart and may be worked holes like a
piece of embroidery only at the two edges in order to make the blind run up
and down easily. The top iron is secured to the angle bar of window frame close
up to the brackets for rollers of other blinds, making them easy to pass and
repass each other.
If preferable the angle irons may be made with any suitable hinge with set or
thumb screws and of any shape with attachments for fixing or adjustments, or I
may make either of the angle irons without hinges.

I, GEORGE HENRY CREEK, of London House, Combmartin, in the County of Devon-
shire, Draper and Outfitter, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in blinds for inside the angles of shop
windows and the like.
Great trouble has been caused with inside blinds to shop windows by the sun
coming between the two blinds at the angle where it is impossible to get the two blinds
to meet, thus there is an opening where the sun comes in and spoil the goods
exposed to view. All this may be avoided by my invention which is a blind which
clips around the outside of the corners of the other blinds and it is pulled up and let
down without disturbing the window.
At the top of the angle of shop windows in the accompanying drawing I fix an
angle iron a and to this angle iron I attach the top of the blind, 8 the said blind 8
being made of any suitable material, and to the bottom of the blind I enclose
another augle iron a the said angle iron is used to keep the blind down by its weight
to the shape of the angle of the window, also as a weight to pull it down in its place
or to draw it up by means of a cord 4 or line. The cord or line runs through pulleys
or screwed eyelets 5, and 6, and may be fastened to a cleat 7.
The top iron has to be the same shape with the holes for cords or lines to run
them on, not exactly the same distance from the outer point of irons but sufficient to
allow the under one to run up easily to the top one, inch difference would do, this
inch keeps the under iron from rubbing up and down and prevents its hitching.
These iron angles will be made in the form of hinges tightly fitted or otherwise so
that they may be adjusted to any window or pulled out straight and used in the
middle of two blinds g in a large window where the windows takes two rollers and
the blinds cannot be made to meet. The angle and stop chink blind 8 runs on two
strings or pieces of wire b (herein termed the guide lines) from top to bottom as a
guide, the holes in the material would be about one inch apart and may be worked
holes like a piece of embroidery only at the two edges in order to make the blind run
up and down easily. The top iron frame 1 is secured to the angle bar 11 of window
frame close up to the brackets for rollers of other blinds, making them easy to pass
and repass each other.
The top iron frame 1 which is fixed to the angle bar 11 of the window is provided
with arms a, attached together by means of hinges 3 and thumb screws 10 so that ;
the said arms may be set at any angle by the aforesaid thumb serews.
The arms a a of the bottom angle plate are also hinged together and may also be
set with a thumb screw or by means of a slightly tightened hinge 3.
Two eyelets 2 are fixed to the floor c, and an eyelet is screwed into the ceiling d.
A cleat 7 and eyelet 6 is fixed to a wood casing e in any convenient position.
The apparatus is fixed and operated in the following manner :-
4
The iron frame 1 is screwed to the corner at the top of the window bar 11 the arms a
are then adjusted almost tight to the glass by the thumb screws 10. Eyelets 2 are
screwed to the floor c and the guide lines 6 are fastened thereto with their ends
attached to the arms a at the top. Adjust the angle iron at the base as at the top 4
and fix the blind 8 to both angle plates. Fasten one end of the hauling line 4 to
the bottom angle iron pass the line 4 through eyelets 5 and 6, and fasten same to the
cleat 7.

page_text: The blind 8 and the bottom angle iron is drawn up or lowered by means of the
hauling line 4.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the position of the blind down.
If preferable the angle irons may be made with any suitable hinge with set or
thumb screws and of any shape with attachments for fixing or adjustments, or I may
make either of the angle irons without hinges.
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. In blinds for inside the angles of shop windows, the combination of the various
parts, substantially as herein above described in this specification for the purpose
specified and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In blinds for inside the angles of shop windows, the combination of the parts,
substantially as above described.
