the same may be plain or otherwise orna-
mented if desired, is mounted upon a screw-
threaded portion 32 of each of the bar ends
29 and 30 after the manner best illustrated
5 in Fig. 7 of the drawings. The threaded
portions 32 of the bar ends are positioned
inwardly of the free ends 33 of the said
bars and the bars are reduced as at 34 out-
wardly of the screw-threaded portions 32.
10 The bore 35 of the extension nuts 31 is
closely journaled upon the ends 29 inwardly
of the threads 36 of the said nuts while the
threads 36 being projectingly formed inte-
riorly of the nuts, are adapted to engage
15 the annular shoulder 37 formed upon the
bar ends 33 by overturning or heading such
ends after the nuts are screw-threaded there-
upon. It will thus be.evident that the nuts
31 are prevented from being removed from
20 the bar ends 29 and 30 but are capable of
a limited longitudinal movement thereof by
reason of the aforementioned screw-threads.
With one of the present devices arranged
at the opposite sides of the window frame 10,
25 the shade brackets 17 and curtain supports
16 will be adjusted by means of the screws
25 the required distance apart for accornmo-
dating the shade roller 24 upon the two
shade brackets 17 of the device. A curtain
30 supporting pole or rod 38 is provided for
each of the goose-necks 29 and 30, each be-
ing of the same length substantially equal to
the distance between the opposite faces 33
of the pairs of ends 30 and 29 which are ar-
35 ranged in axial alinement with each other
at the opposite sides of the window. Upon
positioning one end of a rod 38 adjacent one
of the bar ends 33, the extension nut upon
such bar is turned upon the screw-threads
40 32 for moving the nut inwardly overlying
the bar shoulder 37 and thereby receiving
and retaining the rod end as best illustrated
in Fig. 1 of the drawings. With two rods
38 so supported by the bars 27 and 28, a
45 curtain may be positioned over the inner rod
carried by the bar ends 30 while an outer
drapery may be mounted upon the rod 38
which is supported by the ends 29 of .the
outer bars 27, a shade being arranged upon
50 the roller 24 inwardly of the curtain when
the device is in use. It will thus be seen that
a readily adjustable combined shade roller
bracket and curtain support is provided to
which the curtain poles and shade roller may
55 be readily attached as well as removed there-
from when desired, while the device pre-
sents an ornamental appearance as well as
possesses great utility.While the form of the invention herein
shown and described is what is believed to 60
be the preferred embodiment thereof, it is
nevertheless to be understood that various
forms, modifications and arrangements of
the parts may be made without departing
from the spirit and scope of the invention 65
as claimed.
What I claim as new is:-
1. A device of the class described, com-
prising a window plate having opposite in-
wardly projecting side flanges, a curtain sup- 70
port comprising a slide having opposite mar-
ginal feet shiftably arranged within the said
flanges and having a channeled body-por-
tion, an angular shade bracket having a foot
slidably arranged upon the said plate.with- 75
in the channel of said slide, limiting lugs
carried by the said foot, a set screw upon the
said slide adjustably engaging the said
bracket foot when the device is operatively
positioned, and goose necks of different 80
lengths outwardly projecting from the said
slide, and adjustable curtain rod retaining
extension nuts upon the free ends of the
said goose necks.
2. In a curtain rod support, a bar having 85
a screw-threaded portion in spaced relations
with the overturned free end thereof, the
said bar being reduced between the said
screw-threads and its end, and- an extension
nut having inwardly - extending centrally 90
arranged threads engaging the said bar
threads and having one end thereof jour-
naled upon the cylindrical portion of the
bar inwardly of the screw-threaded portion.
3. A combined shade roller and curtain 95
pole bracket comprising a plate adapted to
be fixed to a window frame and having op-
posite slide ways, a channeled slide shiftably
mounted in the said ways, an angular shade
bracket having a foot portion slidably 100
mounted upon the said plate within the
channel of the said slide, a, locking screw
carried by said slide in engagement with the
said bracket foot when the bracket and slide
are in their adjusted positions, goose necks 105
outwardly-extending from the said slide in
substantial parallelism and having their free
ends extending inwardly of the window
frame and provided with overturned shoul-
ders at their free ends, and extension nuts 110
threaded upon the said goose-necks adjacent
the said shoulders and having limited longi-
tudinal movements thereon.
in testimony whereof I affix my signature.
