SI-IINGLING-IBRACKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed February 12, 1913, Seria1 No. 747,944. Renewed April 6, 1914. Serial No. 830,087.
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, GEORGE BONENBERGER, a cit1zen of the United States, residing at Evansville, county of Vanderburgh, and
combined with the bracket in such manner that when the piece of timber is applied thereto, the timber will be held against detachment and the weight of the shingler on the piece of timber will tend to very firmly secure the bracket in position on shingles already placed on the roof, two or more of the brackets being used in connection with a single piece of timber in actual practice.
The invention is fully set forth hereinafter and the novel features are recited in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view showing how the invention is used; and Fig. 2, a detail perspective of the shingling bracket.
The bracket has a metallic base 1 which at one end is provided with a more or less flattened part 2 having a beveled edge 3 to permit it to be readily inserted under the lower end of the uppermost shingle. The other end of the base has downwardly turned prongs or teeth 4: constituting a claw adapt ed to enter another shingle.
Riveted or suitably secured at 5 to the base 1 is a hook 6 which overhangs the flattened part 2 and is adapted to overlap the piece of timber 7 used when the bracket is applied to a roof, as shown in Fig. 1, from which it will appear that two or more of the brackets are used to hold opposite ends of the piece of timber.
Pivoted at 8 to the hook 6 is a claw abutment 9 having teeth or prongs 10. This claw abutment, as shown in Fig. 1, is of such length that it is adapted to engage the lower part of the uppermost shingle and to be forced thereinto by the pressure exerted against it by the piece of timber 7, the arrangement being such that the weight of the shin-gler on the piece of timber tends to press the teeth of the claw abutment into the shingle and also the teeth a into another shingle. The weight of the shingler on the timber 7 also causes the shingle to be firmly clamped between the base. and the claw abutment, all of which will be apparent from Fig. 1.
Having inserted the part 2 of two or more of the brackets underneath the uppermost row of shingles, the pie-cc of timber 7 is inserted under the hooks and against the claw abutment. The shingler then rests upon the piece of timber while nailing other shingles on the roof. From time to time, the piece of timber is removed, the claw abutments knocked out of engagement with the shingles and the shingling brackets brought to a higher point on the roof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
A shingling bracket embodying a base having means adapted to engage a shingle, a hook secured to the'base and arranged in overhanging relation thereto in'position to embrace a piece of timber, and an abutment pivoted to the bill of the hook intermediate the ends of the latter with its free end eX- tending toward the free end of the hook in abruptly inclined or angular relation to the hook and base and in position to be pressed by the timber into engagement with a shingle.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE BONENBERGER.
