PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cornice Curtain Poles or Grooves' for Ourtain
Carriers.
I, GEORGE HERBERT REYNOLDS, of No. 3, St. James' Square, Notting Hill,
in the County of London, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in cornice curtain poles and grooves for
curtain carriers, and consists in thickening the up-turned edges of grooves or of poles
which are slotted along their underside, such slot being provided for the dependance
through it of the devices to which the curtain is directly attached.
In carrying the invention into effect, I double the said up-turned edges,
that is, fold each one back upon itself so that the edges upon which the said
devices move are double the usual width and naturally of a convex contour and
smooth surface.
The above mentioned folding or doubling may be effected in any suitable way,
as by drawing, or the strip may be rolled with thickened edges.
Dated this 2nd day of June 1891.

Improvements in Cornice Curtain Poles or Grooves for Curtain
Carriers.
I, GEORGE HERBERT REYNOLDS of No. 3 St. James's Square Notting Hill
in the County of London, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly

This invention relates to improvements in cornice curtain poles or grooves for
curtain carriers; and consists in thickening the up turned edges of poles which are
slotted along their under side, such slot being provided for the dependance
through it of the devices to which the curtain is directly attached.
In carrying my invention into effect I double the said up turned edges (herein-
after called the operative edges) that is, fold each one back upon itself so that the
edges upon which the said devices move are double the usual width and naturally
of a convex contour and smooth surface.
The above mentioned folding or doubling may be effected in any suitable
way as by drawing, or the strip may be rolled with thickened edges.
