PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Appliance for Attaching Curtains to Curtain
.t
Rods.
We, FRANCIS HENRY GALLOWAY and GEORGE EDWARD GALLOWAY, both of
Park Place, Leeds, in the County of York, Merchants, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention refers to an appliance for attaching curtains to curtain rods, and
our object is to provide an appliance that may be readily attached to the curtain,
and which may then be raised with the curtain and attached to the rod without
the necessity of removing the said rod.
According to our invention, we employ a spring clasp of a form to embrace
the curtain rod, and one side of the spring is prolonged 'so as to form a clip
surface at its lower end. A clip having teeth at its lower end is fulcrumed to
the prolongation on the clasp, in such a manner that when the clip is attached
to the upper part of a curtain, the clasp is in a 'suitable position for attachment
to the curtain rod.
The centre brackets for the clip may be stamped or otherwise raised out of the
sides of the clip and the prolongation, and the back of the clip may be elongated
and bent back so as to form the spring for actuating the clip.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Appliance for Attaching Curtains to Curtain
Rods.
We, FRANCIS HENRY GALLOWAY and GEORGE EDWARD GALLOWAY, both of
Park Place, Leeds, in the County of York, Merchants, 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:-
This invention refers to an appliance for attaching curtains to curtain rods, and
our object is to provide an appliance that may be readily attached to the curtain,
and which may then be raised with the curtain and attached to the rod without
the necessity of removing the said rod.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood we will proceed to describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which similar letters
refer to like parts in all the figures.

page_text: Figure 1 is a side elevation, Figure 2 is a front elevation, and Figure 3 is an
inverted plan of a curtain attachment constructed in accordance with our inven-
tion.
According to our invention, we employ a spring hook A of a form and size
suitable to embrace the curtain rod, and one side of the spring hook A is pro-
Fonged at B so as to form a clip surface C at its lower end. Brackets D are
formed on the prolongation B of the hook A, onto which is fulcrumed a spring
clip E having a clip surface F at its lower end which engages with the clip
surface C of the hook A, and these clip surfaces C and F are preferably of teeth-
like formation as seen at Figure 3.
In employing the appliance above described, the upper portion of the curtain
is placed between the two clip surfaces C and F which firmly hold it in position,
when the spring hook A is passed over the curtain rod from which it is to be
suspended.
The centre brackets of the clip may be stamped or otherwise raised out of the
sides of the prolongation B and the clip E respectively, and the back of the
clip E may be elongated and bent back as shown so as to form the spring for
actuating the clip.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
"
The spring hook A, and prolongation B, having the clip surface C and
brackets D on same, in combination with a spring clip E having a clip surface F
substantially as described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
