EMILY SARAH THOMSON, no occupation, 143 Asylum Road, Peckham, London, S.E.,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improvement in the manufacture of window roller blind brackets.
Our invention relates to a method of making blind roller brackets which are
constructed in themselves in such a manner so as to enable them to be fixed to any
window without the use of any additional screws or nails.
At
To accomplish this we make the bracket partly of the same form as that now in
use, but instead of the arm terminating in a plate with screw holes, we continue it
through a circular or semicircular washer or shoulder, and such continuation has a
thread cut or made upon it in the same way as the gimblet pointed wood screw.
the other end of the before mentioned arm is the eye in which the end of the blind
roller revolves, when such bracket is to be fixed it is only necessary that it should
be screwed into the woodwork in the same manner as a screw hook is, until the
shoulder is home in such wood, so as to give the bracket the necessary firmness.

EMILY SARAH THOMSON no occupation 143 Asylum Road Peckham London S.E.
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:-
Our invention relates to a method of making blind roller brackets which are
constructed in themselves in such a manner as to enable them to be fixed to any
windows, wooden partitions, doors &c. without the use of additional screws or nails.
To accomplish this we make the brackets partly of the same form as those now in
use but instead of the arm terminating in a plate with screw holes we attach to a
circular or semicircular washer or shoulder a gimblet pointed screw. When such
bracket is fixed it is only necessary that it should be screwed into the woodwork
in the same manner as an ordinary screw hook until the shoulder is home so as to
give the bracket necessary firmness in fixture. Our invention is also applicable for
brackets to roller jack towels on doors &c., cornice poles, & cornices, and any other
articles requiring brackets for suspension.
In the annexed drawing
Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations of a pair of our improved blind roller brackets,
Figure 3 being a plan view.
The gimlet pointed screw a is formed with, or attached to, the shoulder piece b
of the blind roller or other suspension bracket A.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we wish it to be under-
stood that we make no claim in respect of the manufacture and use of a gimlet
pointed screw per se but what we claim is :-
In window roller blind and other suspension brackets the application thereto of a
