EAVES-TROUGE HANGER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Ano'. 2, 1921.
Application filed June 29, 1920. Serial No. 392,817.
To all ifi/tom t may concern.'
Be it known that JONATHAN P. Aano'r'r, citizen of the United States, residing at Painesville, in the county of Lake and lState of Ohio, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bayes-Trough Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
The invention herein and as represented in the accompanying drawings consists in an improvement in eaves trough hangers of which Figure l is a side elevation complete and ready for sale, and F ig. E2 is a bottoni or inside view thereof and as otherwise shown in Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross section of the hanger shown as bent or fashioned to suspend an eaves trough therein. Fig. 4 is a cross section on line l-1l, F ig. 3. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a preferred form or style of reinforcing piece in the hanger, and Fig. 6 is a modification of said reinforcing piece or strip.
The hanger as thus shown is made eX- clusively of sheet metal both for economy in manufacture and sale and convenience in use, and in order that it may have the requisite strength to bear the weight of the trough with its possible accumulations of snow and ice and where the hanger is supported from the roof, various expedients have been tried from time to time for such reinforcement, but the present medium is deemed of surpassing adaptation and value for the reason that it supplies the maximum strength directly for the hanger Aand also serves as a lateral brace and support for the sides thereof, thereby overcoming any possible tendency in the hanger to buckle or bend under strain.
Referring to the drawings, the hanger proper as a complete and unitary article comprises, first, the member indicated by h and featured by the extended tapered tongue 2 adapted to be bent into bow shape from the loop or bend 3 and engaged at its en` tremity in the slot 4 in the larger end 5, which is bent transversely inward in approximately U-shape and has said slot in its top. The said tongue or extension Q finally is bent at its end to make hook engagement in this slot and support the trough, not shown.
Intermediate of the two bends 3 and 5 at the respective end portions of the body of part 7L the sides of the said body have these distinguishing peculiarities, being tapered longitudinally from the end to the bend and providing flanges 7 which flare uniformly outward their entire length and are of uniform depth from end to end. The baclr of the body /L is somewhat rounded transversely from side to side and this with the flanges of course makes considerably for its strength under a load or strain on the trough. vrowever, such strength is not alone found suflicient, and hence l have conceived y the reinforcing or strengthening member or part (l, shown in cross section Fig. fl and detail Fig. 5. This part or portion of the hanger is about two thirds the length of the body thereof and has the longitudinal taper of said body above described and laterally flaring side flanges llat against the flanges 7 on theirl inside but relatively of about twice the depth thereof their entire length. This doubles the side flange strength of the hanger, lengthwise as far as need be, to sustain the hanger under any occasion of abnormal strain. The side support which the flanges afford each other and the strip Z which are held laterally in, bracing and sustaining relations is especially advantageous and desirable. Finally, the said reinforcing strip orpieced is united with the body of the hanger as a fixed portion thereof by a rivet l0 permanently engaging said parts together with the roof strap or strip c which has right angled end l2 with a hole therein and secured by said rivet through said hole. rlhis completes the structure as an article or" manufacture and use, and the hanger goes to the trade and is 8 lying handled with the portions thereof folded as Y seen in Figs. l and 2.
ln Fig. 6 l show a reinforcing piece d which is similar in construction and func.- tion to strip al excepting that it has a single side flange Y llhat l claim is:
l. An eaves trough hanger having a straight tapered body portion with inwardly extending flanges flared outwardly, a reinforcing piece fitted snugly inside between said flanges against the back thereof and flanged at its side to a greater' depth than the flanges on said body and riveted thereto at its middle port-ion` 2. en eaves trough hanger fomprising a body having inwardly extending flanges along its sides flared outwardly, a reinforcing piece having side flanges of greater depth than the flanges on said body and lying flat against the Satine their entire length, a root Strap and a rivet engaged through the smid reinforcing piece and said strop and body and Securing the saine rigidly together.
3. An eaves trough hanger Constructed of sheet metal and comprising' si Straight body portion tapered between its ends and pro- Vvided With laterally flaring flanges along each side, and n sheet metal reinforcing JONATHAN P. ABBOTT.
