CURTAIN-BRACKET.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW E. KYLLo- NEN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Monessen, in the county of Westmoreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Brackets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. 7

This invention relates to a curtain pole bracket, and the primary object of my in vention is to provide a simple and inexpensive device that can be easily and quickly clamped in engagement with a window frame for supporting a curtain pole relatively to the frame, without resorting to the use of nails, screws or other devices that would be injurious and mar the exposed surface of a window frame.

A further object of this invention is to provide a strong and durable curtain pole bracket consisting of comparatively few parts that can be easily and quickly assembled upon a window frame to firmly support a curtain pole.

I attain the above objects by a mechanical construction that willbe hereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and referones will now be had to the drawing, where- 1n:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bracket'as applied to a window frame, and Fig. 2 is'a perspective View of a portion of the bracket.

A bracket in accordance with this invention is made of two pieces of strong and rigid wire and one part of the bracket is substantially L-shaped and comprises two arms 1 and 2 having hook shaped ends 3 and 4 respectively. In bending the piece of wire to form these arms, an eye 5 is formed at the juncture of said arms and the hook shaped ends of said arms are adapted to engage the upper and lower edges of the rail 6 forming the top of a win- Specification of Letters Patent.

do-w frame 7. The hook shaped end 3 of the arm 1 extends into the upper edge of the rail 6 and the hook shaped end 4: of the arm 2 extends into the lower edge of said rail, whereby the arms 1 and 2 will be held in front of the rail 6 with the eye 5 at a point approximately intermediate the edges of the window frame.

The other part of the bracket it made of a single piece of strong and rigid wire and comprises an angle member adapted to extend through the eye 5 carried by the arms 1 and 2. One end of the member 8 terminates in a hook 9 adapted toengage in the outer edge of the window frame and the opposite end of the member 8 terminates in a U-shaped support 10 adapted to receive the end of a curtain pole 11.

The arms 1 and 2 cooperate with the member 8 in supporting the support 10 a desired distance from the window frame 7 and at such an angle that the pole 11 can be supported in position to accommodate curtains, draperies and portieres. With the two part bracket in position, the curtain pole 11 can be safely supported and the same results obtained just as though an eX- pensive fixture was used.

What I claim is A curtain pole bracket comprising arms having hook shaped ends adapted to engage in the edges of a frame, an integral eye at the juncture of said arm, and an angle member extending'through the eye of said arm and having one end thereof hook shaped to engage in the edge of a window frame and the opposite end thereof provided with a U-shaped support adapted to hold'an end of a curtain pole.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
