Improvements in Brackets and Sockets thereto for Carrying Curtain
Rods Attached to Doors and their Frames or Architraves.
JOHN SAUNDERS 23 Coxwell Street Cirencester Builder & Contractor do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A socket of metal having its upper and lower ends finished at the angle of forty-five
degrees or thereabout with its edges is fixed on the lock stile of a panel door, or in a
similar position on any kind of door; which socket receives a bracket of metal,
fitting in and rotating in the said socket its shoulder formed by the bent arm resting
on the bevil end of socket, rises or falls as the bracket turns, the said bracket is bent
sufficiently for a pin formed on its upper end to pass vertically through the curtain
rod-and travel sufficient distance in rotating in the socket and rod to allow of the
free use of the door-the bevel of socket rises the bracket & rod, thus freeing the
curtain from friction on the floor.
The fixed bracket on frame is provided with a bevil shoulder, against which an
inclined socket on rod rotates & rises the rod & curtain at this end.
Dated this 23rd day of September 1886.

JOHN SAUNDERS 23 Coxwell Street Cirencester Builder & Contractor 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 :-
A socket of metal A having its upper and lower ends finished at the angle of
forty-five degrees or thereabout with its edges is fixed on the lock stile of a panel
door, or in a similar position on any kind of door, which socket A receives a bracket
of metal B fitting in and rotating in the said socket A its shoulder a (formed by the
bent arm) resting on the bevil end 6 of socket A, rises or falls as the bracket B turns.
The said bracket B is bent sufficiently for a pin c formed on its upper end to pass
vertically through the curtain rod C and travel sufficient distance in rotating in the
socket A and rod C to allow of the free use of the door, the bevil b of socket A rises
the bracket B and rod thus freeing the curtain from friction on the floor.
The fixed bracket D on frame is provided with a bevil shoulder d against which
an inclined socket E on rod Crotates and rises the rod C and curtain at this end.
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. The rotating bracket B as described.
2. The bevil end socket A receiving same.
3. The fixed bracket D with bevil shoulders d & inclined socket E fitting same,
the whole used in combination with wood or metal lath or rod for carrying a curtain
for preventing draft round door.
