BELL CORD HANGER. AFPLicATIoN man MAY lo. 1911.
Patented Oct. 8,1918 2 SHEETS-SHEET 2 head 1.0` The lower end of the rod. 17 is. Provided with a short threaded stem 19 which is fitted to a threaded socket Yfr )rrned ina short,
shank 2O at the upper Yend of the hanger proper, the said hanger proper comprising a memberv 21 having openings 22 and23 'tore- @Brive thev two Cords to be Supported 4" From the foregoing it will be understood that normally the hangerw-ill occupy the positionshown in Fig. 1 of the drawin However, should the: hanger be struck'sy baggage or scenery or vany other lobject or should the bell cord be pulled laterally, the hanger will swing or yield in such direction, the boss 11 partly leaving the opening 8 and the spring `6 bein; placed under tension. However, when the anger is freed it will'be promptly swung` to its normal position' dueVA to the action of the spring 6.
That formk of the. invention 'shown in Fig. 2 off the drawings is substantially thesame as the form shown in Fig. 1 except that the rigid rod 17' is replaced by a semi-exible connection between thehead 10 and hanger 21. In this form of the invention the head 10 is provided at its lower end with an eye 24 to .which is connected the upper end off a chain 25, the lower end of said chain being connected to an eye 26 located at the upper end of the shank of the hanger-proper. Surrounding the saidk chain is. a coil spring 27 connectedat its upper end to ther lowerend of the headv 10,4 as at 28, and at its lower end t0 the shank 2O of the hanger 21, as indicated by the numeral 29. The spring' 27 is so tensioned that normally the chain 25 will be slightly slack, as shownV in Fig. 2, and, furthermore, the spring 27 is ,sufliciently stiiy to yinsure of the. hanger as a whole normally maintaining a perpendicular position. This particular form of hanger is especially desirable for use n baggage and scenery cars due to the.y fact that it is yieldable to a greater degree than the hanger previously described, thek rigid rod; 27 being,-as stated, replaced by the semi-flexible connection comi prising the chain 25 and spring 27;. It will beunderstood that the chain 25 limitsv longi-v tudinal expansionl of the spring 2.7 so, thatif the bell cordis'sharply pulledfdownwardly the spring may yield Soas to prevent breaks ing *of` the cord and'y yet this'yielding movement is limited by the chain. 0n the ,other hand', the spring 27is, as rstated,relatively stiffr so that theA hanger asa whole. normally That form of the'invention shown 1n Fig.
5 of the drawings is extremely simple in construction and may be manufactured'more cheaply than the previously described forms. It comprises a'base 30 of any suitable design which is to be secured to the car ceiling and connected at its upper end .to` this base and ,depending therefrom is achain 31 core responding to the chain 25, the said .chain 31 beingV connected at its lower end to an eye 32 corresponding to. the eye 26.` A spring 33 correspondingto the sprin'g27 is connected at its upper end to the base 30 and at its lower end to the shank of' the hanger proper. Ofc0urse,vin this form of' the invention there is anv absence of the spring 6 and its associated parts andvyet the structure possesses all of the advantages possessed by the two previously described forms of the invention. y i
Havingthusdescribed theinvention, what is claimed as new isi: f 1'; In av bell 'cord hanger, ahousing having an opening in its lower end, a spring ardow nward movement.
Y2. Inl va bell cord hanger, a housin having anV opening in its lowerv end, a anger;
member having a boss normally seating in said opening, and: a spring connectedl at its upper end to the top of the housing and exy tending within the housing and. connected atits lower end to the said hanger member and yieldably supporting they same. against 'downward' movement. v
3. In abell cord hanger, a hanger member, amember-agai'nst which the upper end of the hanger membernormally seats, and a spring connected to the hanger member and yieldably holding the same in engagement with said abutment member, and yieldably supporting the same against downward movement, 4
