ROOFING-BRACKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jane 13, 1916.
Application filed November 15 1915. Serial No. 61,578.
Kewanee, in the county of Henry and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Roofing-Brackets; and I do declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact descr ption of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention is an improved roofing bracket and has for its object to provide a simply constructed and inexpensive device of this class which may staging bars and the like upon roofs which are tightly sheathed, or upon those having the roof boards spaced apart.
With this general object in view, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction and in unique combinations of hereinafter fully described claimed, the descriptive matter being supplemented by the accompanying drawing which constitutes a part of this application and in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of a tightly sheathed roof showing the application of three of the improved devices for securing the staging bars thereon; Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the roof disclosing a side elevation of one of the brackets; Fig. 3 'is a view similar to Fig. 2 but showing the application of one of the brackets to a roof having spaced sheathing boards; and, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the attaching head.
In specifically describing the invention, similar characters will be placed on corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawing above briefly described, and reference will be herein made to the numerous elements by their respective indices. To this end, the numeral 1 indicates a hanger rod preferably arched throughout its length and having on one end a hook 2 which may be of any appropriate length to receive therein one end of a staging bar 3 as shown at the right and left of Fig. 1, or to hold the overlapped ends of such bars as shown at the center of Fig. 1. The opposite end of the hanger rod 1 is bent laterally in a horizontal direction to provide a pivot 4. by means of which an elongated and reversible attaching head 5 is connected to the remainder of the device. The head 5 is shown as formed of a single piece of angle or L- be used for securing iron, one of whose flanges 6 is provided with anopening 7 receiving the pivot 4, which latter is upset at its free end as shown, one end of said flange 6 being shaped to form an attaching hook 8. The other flange 9 of the head 5 is formed with a keyhole slot or the like 10 and is preferably extended beyond the pivot 4 a distance greater than that at which the book 8 is located from such pi-vot. By so doing, the .head will be held in either one of the positions shown in Figs. 2 and 3. In the first named figure, the flange 9 underlies the rod 1 and the head 5 will not tilt even though the device be moved without touching the head. In Fig. 3, the flange 9 overlies the rod and thus also prevents tilting of the head around its pivot when moving the entire bracket from one point on the roof to another.
When the improved brackets are to be used for supporting staging bars or the like upon closely sheathed roofs, as seen in Fig. 1, nails 11 are driven into the latter at proper points, and the heads 5 are so adjusted as to present the flanges 9 thereof downwardly toward the roof, thereby allowing the slots 10 to receive the nails therein to eflectively anchor the brackets. When, however, the devices are used upon a roof having spaced roofing boards, the heads 5 are reversed and the hooks 8 are engaged with the upper edges of such boards as depicted in Fig. 3. Regardless of the manner in which the head is'used, it will be obvious that the improved brackets will be elficient and durable, regardless of their simple and inexpensive construction. In the drawing certain specific details of construction have been shown for accomplishing probably the best results, and I have herein described such details, but it is manifest that a number of minor changes might well be made within the scope of the invention as claimed.
I claim I 1.. A roofing bracket comprising a hanger having means for holding a staging bar or the like, and an elongated angle iron head having one of its flanges pivoted to said hanger, one end of said flange being shaped in the form of a hook to engage the edges of spaced roofing boards, the other flange of the head being formed with a slot to receive an anchoring nail driven in a closely sheathed roof.
2. A roofing bracket comprising a hanger rod having means at one end for holding a staging bar or the like, the other end thereof being bent laterally in a horizontal position to form a pivot, an elongated angle iron reversible head having in one of its flanges an opening receiving said pivot, one end of said flange being shaped in the form, of a hook, While the other flange of the head is formed With a nail receiving slot, the last named flange being adapted either to underlie or overlie the rod according to the position of the head thus limiting the tilting movement of said head.
8. A roofing bracket comprising an elongated hanger to be disposed in an inclined position upon a roof, means at the lower end of said hanger forholding a staging bar or the like, and a reversible elongated head pivoted upon a horizontal axis to the upper end of said hanger, said head having at one end a hook disposed in a vertical plane and having at its other end a slot opening through its upper and lower sides.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
