UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.

DANIEL H. ISEMINGER, OF BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS.

WINDOW-BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 495,810, dated April 18, 1893.

Application filed November 1, 1892. Serial No. 450,664. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DANIEL H. ISEMINGER, of Bloomington, in the county of McLean and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WVindow-Brack ets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this speciiication.

My invention relates to an improvement in window brackets; and it consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will be fully described hereinafter, and more especially referred to in the claims.

The object of my invention is to construct and provide an improved bracket or support whereby the cleaning of the outer sides of windows will be rendered comparatively safe, and which will also afford asupport for painters while decorating the window frames and sashes.

Referring to the accompanying drawings;- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved bracket showing it in position in a window. Fig. 2, is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a detached view of the transverse bar for holding the bracket in position.

A, designates the window frame, B, the platform of the bracket which is adapted to rest on and extend outward from the window sill and O, a transverse bar which is secured to the inner end of the platform and which engages the opposite sides of the inner face of the frame. Secured to this bar are the loops D, and adapted to move longitudinally therein are the bars E, which when extended elongate the said bar and adapt it for use in wide frames. The opposite sides of the platform B, are slotted longitudinally as shown at E and adapted to move therein are the clamping screws F, which extend through the cross piece G which is thus made movable and adjustable on the under side of the platform. Secured at their upper ends to the strip G, are the downwardly extendingbraces I-I,which together with dependingstandards I, clamp the blocks J. Projecting inward toward the wall of the house from the inner faces of these blocks are the pins K, and supported by said pins are the vertically slotted bearing blocks L which are covered with rubber or other soft material and which rest against the wall of the house. Now when the weight of the operator is on the outer portion of the bracket the same is apt to sag down or have a slight vertical vibration. This latter is accommodated by the pins K, moving in the slots of the blocks L, while the latter remain in one position on the'wall. Thus the latter is not rubbed by the vibration of the bracket as it would be were there no provision for taking up the said motion before it reached thewall. The upper ends of the blocks are turned horizontally as shown and extending downward therethrough from the slots E, are the clamping bolts M. Thus the braces are securely held in position and rendered very strong by the standards so that a great amount of weight can be supported on their outer ends. As will be understood the said braces and standards may be adjusted longitudi nally on the platform, thus varying the width between the bar 0, and blocks L, and adapting it for use on walls of greater or less thickness. A hand rail N, is placed around the platform and depending therefrom is the curtain 0, thus securing at once to the operator safety and privacy.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A window bracket comprising a longitudinally slotted platform,'a means for securing its inner end within a window frame, a transverse strip on the under-side of theplatform, clamping screws extending from the strip through the slots, and braces carried by the strip, substantially as shown and described.

2. A window bracket comprising a longitudinally slotted platform, a transverse bar secured to one end thereof, a strip extending across the under sides of said slots, clamping screws projecting therefromthrough the slots, and braces carried by said strip, substantially as shown and described.

3. A window bracket comprising a slotted platform, a bar on its rear end, strip G, clamping screws extending therefrom through the slots of the platform, depending braces seends of said braces, pins projecting inward from said blocks, and vertically slotted bearing blocks adapted to move on said pins and cured to the strip, standards I, and a hearing which latter confine the said movable blocks 15 5 block which is held by said standards and braces, substantially as shown and described.

4. The combination of a bracket platform which is adapted to project through a window frame and to which it is secured at its inner IO end, braces depending from the under side of said platform, blocks secured to the lower in place, substantially as shown and described. In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
