IMPROVEMENTS IN HOLDERS FOR STAIR AND OTHER RODS
Year: 1885

I WILLIAM DICK of Raven Villa Wiseton Road, Wandsworth in the County of
Surrey, Upholsterer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN HOLDERS FOR STAIR AND OTHER RODS to be as follows:-
In carrying my invention into effect, I form the holder as heretofore of two
parts, the lower or fixed part of which is formed with a recess or groove to receive
the rod whilst the upper or moveable part is so formed as to securely hold the rod
in the recess in the lower or fixed part of the holder.
In such class of rod holder as heretofore coustructed these two parts have been
pivotted together and the upward thrust of the rod has been borne exclusively by
such pivot whilst the outward thrust against the upper part of the holder by acting
against the lower end thereof has been liable to bend the same and to break it away
from its pivot.
According to my present invention I obviate these objections by forming the two
parts of the holder with corresponding guides or parts of such shape as to enable
the upper or moveable part to be slidden into and out of position for securing or
releasing the rod and the fitting parts are so constructed that when the two parts
are in the position for securing the rod, the fixed or lower part of the holder shall
afford support to the upper or moveable part in both an upward and outward
direction.
In order to prevent the loss of the moveable part I fix a pin in one corner of the
upper part thereof and I form the fixed part of the holder with a slot to receive
such pin or stud and yet to permit of the sliding to and fro of the moveable part of
the holder which latter has its upper part so shaped that when it is slidden out
from its guides it can be turned up on the said pin or stud away from the rod.
The pin or stud and the slot are formed loosely to fit each other so that no strain
is borne thereby.
The outer side of the fixed part of the holder may be enclosed by a side plate
where it is necessary or desirable to prevent the rod sliding through or extending
beyond the holder as for example, in the case of rods for supporting dwarf window
curtains.

I WILLIAM DICK of Raven Villa Wiseton Road, Wandsworth Common in the
Common in the County of Surrey, Upholsterer 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:-
In carrying my invention into effect I form the holder as heretofore of two parts
the lower or fixed part of which is formed with a recess or groove to receive the
rod whilst the upper or moveable part is so formed as to securely hold the rod in
the recess in the lower or fixed part of the holder.
In such class of rod holder as heretofore constructed, these two parts have been
pivotted together and the upward thrust of the rod has been borne exclusively by
such pivot whilst the outward thrust against the upper part of the holder by acting
against the lower end thereof has been liable to bend the same and to break it
away from its pivot.
According to my present invention I obviate these objections by forming the two
parts of the holder. with corresponding guides or parts of such shape as to enable
the upper or moveable part to be slidden into and out of position for securing or
releasing the rod and the fitting parts are so constructed that when the two parts
are in the position for securing the rod, the fixed or lower part of the holder shall
afford support to the upper or moveable part in both an upward and outward
direction.
In order to prevent the loss of the moveable part I fix a pin in one corner of the
upper part thereof and I form the fixed part of the holder with a slot to receive
such pin or stud and yet to permit of the sliding to and fro of the moveable part of
tlie holder which latter has its upper part so shaped that when it is slidden out
from its guides it can be turned up on the said pin or stud away from the rod.
The pin or stud and the slot are formed loosely to fit each other so that no strain
is borne thereby.
The outer side of the fixed part of the holder may be enclosed by a side plate
where it is necessary or desirable to prevent the rod sliding through or extending
beyond the holder as for example in the case of rods for supporting dwarf window
curtains.
And in order that my said invention may be more clearly understood and readily
carried into effect I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings more fully to
describe the same
.
DRAM

page_text: In carrying my invention into effect I form the holder of two parts A, B, the
lower or fixed part A of which is formed with a recess or groove a to receive the
the rod X whilst the upper or moveable part B is so formed as to securely hold
the rod X in the recess a in the lower or fixed part A of the holder.
In such class of rod holder as heretofore constructed these two parts have been
connected together by a rivetted pin or pivot and the upward thrust of the stair
rod has been borne exclusively by such pin or pivot whilst the outward thrust
against the upper part of the holder by acting against the lower end thereof has
been liable to bend the same and to break it away from its pin or pivot.
In order to obviate these objections I form the two parts of the holder with
corresponding guides or parts a¹ b. and a³ a³ and b¹ which parts are so shaped as to
enable the upper or moveable part B to be slidden into and out of position for
securing or releasing the rod X and the said fitting parts are so constructed that
when the two parts A, B, are in the position for securing the rod, the fixed or lower
part A of the holder shall afford support to the upper or moveable part in both an
upward and outward direction the groove or slot a¹ affording support in an outward
direction to the part b and the angular part a³ affording support both in an upward
and outward direction to the part b¹.
In order to prevent the loss of the moveable part B, I fix a pin 62 in one corner
of the upper part 6 thereof and I form the fixed part A of the holder with a slot a
to receive such pin or stud 62 and yet to permit of the sliding to and fro of the
moveable part B of the holder which latter has its upper part b₁ so shaped, as
shown in the drawings, that when it is slidden out from its guides it can be turned
up on the said pin or stud b' away from the rod X.
The pin or stud 63 and the slot a* are formed loosely to fit each other so that no
strain is borne thereby.
As shown in Figures 8 to 14 the outer side of the fixed part A of the holder may
be enclosed by a side plate a where it is necessary or desirable to prevent the rod X
from sliding through or extending beyond the holder,
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 :-
The construction of holders for stair and other rods of two parts A, B, connected
together by pin and slot and formed with corresponding guides or parts so shaped
as to enable the upper or moveable part B to be slidden into and out of position,
and when the two parts are in position for securing the rod to afford support to the
upper or moveable part B in both an upward and outward direction substantially
as herein shown and described.
