' I Description Injthe drawings, I have 'illustrated the usual form of window frame 1, and upper sash 2 and lower sash 3, slidable within said frame. I 7

It has heretofore been necessary to mount the shade andshade brackets at the sides of the window frame 1, above the sashes, but I have devised an improved and efi'icient form Patent of the United States is:

of shade hanger which may be mounted on the side pieces of the sashes, and may be removedbodily, or swung out of the way, when itis desired to slide one sash by the other. I have provided a U shape supporting member 4, having laterally extending fasten,- ing wings 5, which in turn are provided with openings" 6, through which fastening screws may be placed. The bottom or intermediate v portion of the member 4 extends parallel With L the fastening Wings 5, but lies in a plane spaced from the plane of said wings. A locking slot T is formed in the member 4, extend ing approximately half the depth of said member, and in the connecting portion between said intermediate portion and a fastening wing. a I The shade hanger proper comprises a base member 8 having a slot 9 formed therein and adapted to be received within the supporting member 4;, behind the bottom portion there of, with the slots 7 and 9 cooperating with each other. The hanger is bent forwardly at right angles to the base 8 and is provided with the usual notch 10 adjacent its free end to receive the pintle of a shade roller. A latch 11, of substantially U-shape in cross section is pivoted to the forwardly extending portion of the hanger and is adapted to lock down over the notch 10 to retain the roller in fixed position therein, while a tab 12 extends outwardly from the free end thereof to enable one to grip the latch to manipulate the same. 8 Many minor changes in detail of construction may be resorted to without departure from the spirit of the invention. j
