STAES EDWARD F. CARPENTER, OF MILLERSPORT, OHIO.
WALL-SUPPORTED INCUBATOR.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, EDWARD F. CARPEN- TER, citizen of the United States, residing at Millersport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVall-Supported Incubators, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to incubators, and particularly to an improved construction of incubator whereby it is adapted to be hung against the wall.
An object of this invention is to so peculiarly construct the body of an incubator that it may be suspended from a specially designed support, that it will lie flat against the wall and be held from tilting while in such position, and that it also serves in the capacity of a cabinet to accommodate a number of shelves for supporting various articles used in connection with the incubator or otherwise.
The invention further designs to produce a device of this nature which is of comparatively simple construction of relatively few parts, a device which occupies but small space and which may be hung in an out-ofthe-way position, and a device which may be economically produced.
A still further object of this invention is to provide an incubator which may be con- -veniently positioned at a considerable height above the floor so that children cannot gain access to it, and so that it cannot be reached by dogs, cats, and other animals to destroy the eggs. The hanging of the incubator high against the wall relieves the incubator from the vibrations of the floor and disposes the same in such position that it cannot be accidentally struck by chairs, or other objects moved about the room. It is apparent that the lamp and other fixtures of the incubator may be removed so that the device may be employed in the capacity of a cabinet or like article of furniture.
For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved incubator showing the support strip detached therefrom; and, Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the device hung against a wall.
Specification of Iietters Patent.
Application filed April 19, 1911.
Patented Feb. 13, 1912.
Serial No. 622,063.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indi-' cated in all the views of the drawing by the same reference characters.
Referring to the drawing, 10 designates a wall strip or support having a straight lower edge providing a longitudinal shoulder 11, and having its upper edge of any suitable and fanciful configuration. Midway of the ends of the strip 10 the upper edge is provided with a flat portion or rest 12 upon which a level is adapted to be placed when securing the strip 10 to the wall to determine the correct positioning of the strip. The support 10 is attached to the wall by screws 13 having hook-heads 14, the screws 13 engaging through the support 10 adjacent to its opposite ends.
The improved body of the incubator has a back 15 resting snugly against the wall and provided with an upper straight edge or shoulder 16 engaging against the shoulder 11 of the strip or support 10. Sides 17 are arranged in vertical parallelism at the opposite edges of the back 15 and are given any suitable fanciful form. A top 18 is fitted between the upper ends of the sides 17, and has its upper face flush with the shoulder 16 of the back 15. A bottom 19 is arranged in horizontal parallelism beneath the top 18 and is secured at its ends against the inner faces of the sides 17. A front 20, of common construction to incubators, is disposed across the outer edges of the top 18 and bottom 19, and engages at its ends against the inner opposite faces of the sides 17. One or more shelves 21 are disposed beneath the body of the incubator between the lower ends of the sides 17 to support various articles as desired.
The incubator body is detachably hung from the support 10 by a pair of forwardly offset straps, the lower ends 22 of which are suitably secured, preferably in countersunk relation as shown, against the rear side of the back 15. The intermediate portions 23 of the straps extend forwardly across the shoulder 16 at which point the strap is upturned, as at 24 for engagement against the forward side of the support 10. The straps are arranged in registration with the hooks 14, and the upturned portions 24 thereof are provided with eyes or openings 25 for the reception of the hooks 14. This peculiar shaping of the straps supports the body fiat against the wall, and brings the edges or shoulders 11 and 16 together, holding the body steady and preventing its tilting or sagging when a greater weight is placed on one side than on the other.
It is readily seen that the body may be removed from the wall by raisin the lowerend thereof away from the walfi when the upturned portions 24 of the straps are swung into a substantially horizontal position and are removed from the hooks 1% by then raising the body.
The incubator is arranged in a true horizontal plane by the use of a spirit level which is placed upon the rest 12 when the support or strap 10 is secured to the wall.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
1. A device of the character described comprising a wall strip for attachment to a wall and having a straight lower edge and spaced outstanding hooks, a body arranged beneath the wall strip and having an upper straight edge engaging against the edge of the wall strip and having straps upon its upper end engaging over the hooks, the straps being offset forwardly to suspend the body flat against the wall and beneath the strip.
2. A device as specified comprising a wall strip, screws engaging through the wall strip to support the same against a wall and having outstanding hook-heads, a body having a back resting snugly against the wall beneath the wall strip, and a pair of forwardly offset straps secured against the back and having eyes in their upper ends for engagement over the hook-heads.
8. A wall incubator comprising a back resting against the wall, sides outstanding in parallelism from the edges of the back, a top fitting between the upper ends of the sides, a bottom fitting between the sides and being spaced below the top, a front engaging acrossthe forward edges of the top and bottom and engaging against the inner opposite faces of the sides, a wall strip having attachment to the wall directly above the back and engaging against the upper edge thereof, screws engaging through the ends of the wall strip for securing the same to the wall and having outstanding hook-heads, and forwardly ofiset straps carried by the back and having openings in their upper ends for engagement over the hook-heads.
4:. A wall incubator comprising a body having a back for engagement against the wall, forwardly offset straps countersunk in the rear face of the back at its upper end, a wall strip secured above the back and having a lower straight edge engaging therewith, screws engaging through the wall strip for holding the same in position and having outstanding hook-heads receiving the upper ends of the straps, and a rest carried upon the upper edge of the wall strip for the reception of a level to determine the position of the wall strip.
In testimony whereof, I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
