V l I 1mmmmmmmunm n ENOGH P. STEVENS, OI CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
HANGER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
. Patented June 19, 1917.
Application filed June 14, 1915. Serial No. 33,938.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it knownthat I, ENOCH P. S'rnvENs, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to hangers, and re fers particularly, although not exclusively, to hangers which are adapted to support bricks or othersimilar articles forming an arch or the like. It is one of the objects of my invention to provide a hanger which may be quickly and easily adjusted in desired vertical position with relation to the member which carries or supports the hanger. This object is preferably accomplished by providing the hanger with an adjustable portion having one or more ratchets which may be engaged by suitable locking pawls.
A further .object of my inventionv consists in so constructing the hangers that they may readily be adjusted to various angular positions of the units, such as bricks or the like, which they support.
These and other objects and advantages of m invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section through a brick arch to which my improved hangers are applied;
Flg. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectionand elevation showing a portion of the supporting I-beam and one of the hangers and supported brick in end elevation;
F'g. 3 is a vertical section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section taken on the line 44 of Fig. 2.
In the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanyin drawings an I- beam 5 extends between t e walls 6, 6 in which the ends of the I-beam 5 are supported. The I-beam 5 serves in turn to support a clplurality of hangers 7 from which the bri s 8 of the arch 9 are hung. The detailed construction of each of the hangers 7 is most clearly shown in Figs. 2,3 .and 4:. Each of-the hangers 7 consists of a pair of carrier members 10 and a pair of adjustable members 11. Each of the carrier members 10 is of angular shape, and issupported by the lower ange of the I-beam 5. Toward its lower portion each carrier member 10 has an aperture 12 through which asses the shaft 13 threaded at its ends. As est shown in Fig. 3, each of the adjustable members 11 has a slot 14 extending downwardly from its up er edge, one side of this slot being provided with teeth to form the ratchet 15.
pawl being located in the slot 14 of each of the adjustable members 11. The pawls 16 are held in position against lateral movement by the carrier members 10 on one side and by the washers 17 engaging the inner surfaces of the adjustable members 11 on the other. The washers 17 areheld in engagement with the inner surfaces of the members 11 by the nuts 18. A wing nut 19 has threaded engagement with each end of the shaft 13, and when screwed home these nuts 19 engage the outer surfaces'of the carrier members 10 and hold the carrier members 10 and the adjustable members 11in close engagement with each other.
The lower edge of each of the adjustable members 11 is bent inwardly to form a lip 20, these lips serving to engage the boss or tongue 21' on a brick 8.
As most clearly shown in Fig. 1, the adjustable members 11 of the hangers 7 may be placed at any desired height and at any desired angle with respect to the carrier members 10. These features of adjustability are of particular advantage, inasmuch as in an arch of ordinary construction the bricks near the end of the arch are at a considerably lower level than those at the center, and these bricks also occupy a diiferent'angular position. By my construction the lower adjustable members 11 supported by the pawls 16 readily adjust themselves at any desired angular position, and may also be adjusted at any desired height.
The latter is readily accomplished, as will be obvious, either by lifting the adjustable members 11 so as to cause engagement by the pawls 16 of the proper teeth of the ratchets 15, or by releasing these pawls 16 so that the adjustable members 11 may be lowered to the desired position and then engaging the proper teeth of the ratchets 15 by the pawls 16. If desired, the two adjustable members 11 may be readily adjusted at diflerent heights or at different angles. In securing the adjustment of the adjustable members 11, the wing nuts '19 are slightly loosened, and after the proper ad ustment has been obtained these wing nuts are then tightened up so that. the parts may be maintained in the desired relation. a
It will be evident that by my construction the hangers engage the bricks in an amls transverse to the arch. This is a construe tion of particular advantage, since the angular relations of the front andrear portions of a brick in an arch are ordinarily the same with respect to a true horizontal or vertical plane.
In the construction oi? arch which I have shown in Fig. 1 I have illustrated the bricks as formed with shoulders so that the bricks directly supported by hangers serve to support intermediate bricks. This feature, however, forms no part of the present invention. s
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes can be made in the detailed construction which I have described without departing from the spirit or scope of my invention.
What I claim isz 1. in a hanger, the combination with a air of carrier members, of a pair of ad- 311St3-bl81118111b81'S, each of said adjustable members being provided with a plurality of adjustment surfaces, and locking means carried by said carrier members, whereby said adjustable members may be supported in a plurality of positions with relation to said carrier members.
2. In a hanger, the combination of a pair of carrier members, a shaft extending be- 7 mamma tween said carrier members, a pair of pawls mounted on said shaft adjacent to said carrier members, and a pair of adjustable members having ratchets adapted to be engaged by said pawls, whereby said adjustable members may be supported in predetermined positions.
3. In a hanger, the combination of a pair of carrier members, a shaft extending between said carrier members, a pair of pawls mounted on said shaft adjacent to said carrier members, a pair of adjustable members having ratchets adapted to be engaged by said pawls, whereby said adjustable members may be supported in predetermined positions, and means for clamping each of said adjustable members to a oorresponding carrier member.
4:. In a supporting device, the combination with a beam having. a flange on its lower edge, of a hanger comprising a pair of angularly disposed carrier members supported by said flange, and a pair of adjustable 7 members carried by said carrier members and adjustable with respect thereto, both angularly and in a vertical plane, said ad justable members having means thereon for engaging an object to be supported.
In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 11th day of June, A. D. 1915. p ENOOH P. STEVENS.
