HARRY WIDLUND, OF MANSON, IOWA.
TEMPORARY BRACKET: FOR SHINGLING ROOFS.
Specification ofLetters Iatent.
Patented Oct. 6,1914.
Application filed March 2, 1914. Serial No. 821,913.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY VIDLUND, citizen of the United States, residing at Mansom: in the county of Calhoun and State of Iowa,
have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Temporary Brackets for Shingle Roofs, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to a temporary bracket or scalfoldwhich is adapted to be applied to a shingle roof for the purpose of supporting a paint bucket or the like in an upright position, the object of the in vention being to provide a bracket of this character which embodies novel features of.
construction whereby itcanbe readily applied to any desired portion of the roof and quickly adjusted to support; the bucket in an upright position regardless of the pitch or inclination of the roof. i a
A further object of the invention is to pro 1 .f reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in
which Figure 1 is a sectional view through a shingle roof, showing the manner of applying. the bracket thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective View of the 'roofplate or basal frame. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the shelf member, and Fig. 1- is a similar View of the prop member.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawing by the same reference characters Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a roof which is covered in the usual manner by rows of overlapping shingles 2. The roof plate 3 of the temporary bracket is designed to fit over the shingles and positively engage the same so as to be held securely in position upon the roof. This suitable material and is shown as being in the form of a rectangular frame. Projecting downwardly from the two lower corners of the frame3 are the sharpened prongs 4 member3 may be formed of metal or other a which are preferably inclinedrearwardly 3 and are adapted to bite into the shingles so as to hold the base or roof plate 3 against slipfping or sliding downwardly upon the roo v An angle strip 5 extends alongthe upper end of the base or roof plate 3, one flange of the angle strip fitting against and being secured to the plate 3 by suitable fastening members 6, while the opposite flange is offa set downwardly from the plateand provides a a lip which projects upwardly and is adapted to be inserted under the lower ends of a row of shingles. It will thus be obvious that this shingle engaging lip holds the plate 3 against swinging outwardly away from the roof, whilethe prongs 5 resist the tendency of the roof. 1 v a The upper and lower ends of the base or roof plate 3 are provided respectively with the transversely disposed elongated opena plate to slide downwardly upon the i ings 7 and 8. The shelf 9 upon which the bucket 10 or other member to be supported rests is provided at one end with a contracted neck 11 which terminates in ahook 12 adapted to fit within theelongated opening 7 and engage the edges thereof soas to form a loose connection with the upper end of the base plate. A clip 13 is fitted to the opposite end of the shelf 9 and projecting outwardly from this clip is a threaded stem 14 upon which a clamping nut 15 is mounted.
A slotted prop member 16 is provided for engagement. with the swinging end ofthe shelf 9 to hold the said shelf in a horizontal position. The lower end of the prop member 16 is formed with. a book 17 which passes through the slot 8 and engages the underside of the plate 3. Projecting laterally from the lower end of the prop member 16 uponopposite sides thereof are the lugs or wings 18 which rest upon and engage the top of the plate 3 to support the prop and prevent it from sliding downwardly through the opening 8 into engagement with the roof. With this construction, it will be apparent thatwhen the prop 16 is swung downwardly into substantial alinement with the plate 3 the book 17 can be disengaged from the opening 8, while when the prop 16 is swung upwardly into operative position the lower end thereof is securely interlocked with the plate 3, since it is held against up ward movement by the hook 17 and against downward movement by the lateral lugs or wings l8.
The threaded stem 1 L carried by the outer end of the shelf 9 passes loosely through the slot 16 of the prop andwhen the clamping nut 15 is loosened can be moved freelyup and down within the slot to bring the shelf 9 to a horizontal position, regardless of the pitch of the roof. The clamping screw 15 is then tightened to lock the parts in an adjusted position, and the temporary bracket can then be employed for the support of a paint bucket or the like. The position of the bracket or scaffold can be readily changed, since in order to disengage it from the roof, it is merely necessary to lift up the lower end thereof and then withdraw the lip of the angle strip 5 from under the shingle. By the reverse operation the bracket can be quickly attached to the roof at any desired point thereon.
- Having thus described the claim,'what I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A temporary bracket for shingle roofs includlng a frame havlng openings in the upper and lower ends thereof, a shingle engag- Gopie: of this patent may be obtained for ing lip at the'upper edge of the roof plate, shingle engaging prongs projecting downwardly from the lower end of the roof plate, a shelf provided at one end thereof with a hooked extension loosely engaging the upper opening of the roof plate, a slotted prop provided at the lower end thereof with a laterally projecting hook member adapted to have theend thereof inserted through the opening in the lower end of the roof plate when'the prop is swung downwardly into inoperative position, but engaging the bottom of the roof plate to prevent withdrawal of the hook member from the opening of the roof plate when the prop is swung upwardly into operative position, a lateral lug projecting from the base of the prop and engaging the top of the roof plate to hold the prop against downward movement through the opening, a threaded stem projecting from the swinging end of the shelf and received loosely within the slotted por tion of the prop, and a clamping nut upon the threaded stem for locking the shelf in I an adjusted position.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
