SUPPORTING AND ALINING DEVICE FOR CASINGS FOR STEAM-PIPES.
Specification f Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. t6, 1915.
Application led April 13, 1911.'` Serial N0. 620,769.
T0 all whoma't may concern.
Be it known that I, GLnNDoN A. RICH- Anus, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Grand Rapids, in thev county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supporting and Alining Devices for Casings for Steam-Pipes; 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 appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in supporting and' alining devices for casings for steam pipes and more particularly to such devices used in connection with casings which are to be laid under ground or in other places exposed to moisture and its object is to provide the same with suitable drainage to carry away any water that may accumulate near the same; to provide a suitable support to maintain the casing in alinement and to provide the same with various new and useful features hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the claim reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure l is a side elevation of a device embodying my invention having a pipe covering or 'casing mounted thereon; Fig. 2 a longitudinal vertical section of the same; and Fig. 3 a transverse section of the same on the line 3--3 of Fig. l.
To convey away any water that may accumulate about the casing by condensation or seepage, and to support the casing in alinement, I provide a chair 3 having a broad base, inwardly sloping sides and a concave upper surface in which the pipe casing 1 is supported and alined. This chair is strengthened by a middle rib 3a dividing the interior into tile like conducting passages through which any accumulated water may escape. These chairs are made in sections, each section having the same length as a section of the casing 1, and a transverse concave recess 4 is provided in the center of the same to receive the enlarged connecting flange of the casing 1. These chairs are preferably made ofun glazed or porous material which will permit moisture to penetrate them and be conveyed away through the passages in the body of the chairs. It will be observed that there is a great advantage in arranging the lengths of the casing 1, and the chairs 3, so that the joints of the casing are firmly supported from each end by that portion of the chair whichv extends each side from the depression 4, and likewise the load is balanced upon each chair in such a way that there will be no sa-g in the casing 1 to break or' open up the joints. The joints of the casing and of the chairs are staggered, thus malntaining a perfect alinement and level of the casing 1, and at the same time a tile is provided which will convey away any water or moisture that may accumulate.
The combination with a plurality of connected up casings having circumferentially enlarged connecting flanges, of a plurality of hollow supporting members disposed below said pipe casings end to end with their hollow portions in alinement, said hollow members having concaved upper sides for receiving said pipe sections, said members having horizontal bases and slanting side walls extending upwardly to said concave portions, each of said sections having transversely extending recesses for receiving the connecting flanges of the pipe casings, said recesses being greater in width than the width of the connecting flanges or permitting of a slight longitudinal movement of the pipe casings, and said recesses having their bottoms disposed parallel to the bases of the supporting members and the ends of said recesses opening through the sides of the supporting members whereby any foreign object entering said recesses can be readily removed therefrom, and a longitudinally extending connecting web disposed in each of said supporting members.
In testimony whereof I alix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
