I JOHN HENRY WESTON of 12 Piermont Road, East Dulwich, Surrey, Gas
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
--
The object of my invention is to manufacture articles, such as curtain holders, stair
rods, shop window rods, wardrobe or other hangers, towel holders and for general
purposes from a springy wire coiled to the requisite size and shape and of any
desired length to suit the purposes intended the coils or windings of the wire being
stretched and secured to studs or buttons or to frames.
The wire may be coiled flat, oval, circular, or of other form and be used in com-
bination with bars, bands, cords or other material, end loops, hooks or other
appliance so that it can be fixed or be attached to the wire by screwing in or other-
wise. The coiled wire may support a bar or band or the coiled wire may be used
as end pieces only to keep the other part or parts extended by its springyness.

I, JOHN HENRY WESTON of 12 Piermont Road, East Dulwich, Surrey, Gas
Engineer, 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 object of my invention, is to manufacture articles such as curtain holders, stair
rods, shop window rods, wardrobe and other hangers, towel holders and bands for
sewing machines, lathes and for general purposes from a springy wire coiled to the
requisito size, and shape and of any desired length capable of being extended to suit
the purposes intended, the coils or windings of the wire being stretched at the ends
and secured to studs or buttons on frames or sashes or in any. suitable manner.
The coiled wire may be of flat, oval, circular, or of other form and be used in
combination with bars, bands, cords, or other suitable end loops, hooks or any other
appliance so that it can be fixed or attached to the wire by screwing in or otherwise.
The coiled wire may support a bar or band, or may be used as end pieces only to keep
the other part or parts extended by its springyness.
My invention will be clearly understood by reference. to the annexed drawings.
Figure 1 represents one end of a curtain holder or similar rod or bar made of a coiled
spring a bent at the end to fit over the stud or projection on the window sash or
other frame or support c. Figure 2 shows the coil a with end coils d stretched with a
suitable end loop e (shown separately at Figure 3) screwed into it, said end loop e
taking over a hook on the frame or support c. Figures 3, 4, and 5 represent
modified arrangements for end loops or hooks, the two first being of flat metal with
teeth or projections g, g, arranged as shown to screw into the coils of the spring, and
Figure 5 being screw threaded.
Figure 6 shows the coiled spring as it would appear when stretched to suit a larger
window or wider opening. Figure 7 shows half a shop window rod (which might
contain one or two springs) formed by a tube / containing a spring a attached to the
sliding end piece i and to a hook j fixed near the centre of the tube h.
Figure 8 shows the arrangement represented at Figure 1 enclosed in a tube h, and
would be applicable to round towel holders and the like.
In Figure 9 the spring a is screwed to hooks or loops e which are connected by a
cord or string to prevent overstretching the spring a which is held by a pin 7 at the
centre of an outside tube m. Figure 10 represents the coiled spring a supporting a
bar n. Figure 11 shows the application of a coiled spring to form the belt of a lathe
or any other similar machine.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The employment of coiled springs and their fittings for general adaptation in
domestic, trade and other purposes substantially in the manner described.
