GUTTER HANGER.

Application filed January 27, 1921. Serial N0. 440,368.

Be it known that 1, WooLr Pmnnz, a citizen oi the United States, and resident oi the city of New York, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Gutter Hangers, of which the fol-- provide a gutter hanger, including means made integral therewith for anchoring the gutter to the wall of the building.

Another object of the invention is to provide a gutter hanger of the type mentioned which is simple in construction, eiilcient in operation, durable in use and capable of manufacture on a commercial scale, or in other words one which is not so dificult to make as to be beyond the reasonable cost of such a contrivance.

With these and other objects in view, which will more fully appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the combination, arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter described, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that many changes may be made in the size and proportion of the several parts and details of construction within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

One of the many possible embodiments of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gutter hanger constructed in accordance with the present invention; and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a portion thereof.

In the drawings, the numeral 10 indicates a roof gutter, the outer edge of which is provided with a bead 11, asusual in constructions of this type, while its inneredge 12, adjacent the wall of the building, is plain. For supporting this gutter in proper relation to the roof 13 of the building, there is provided a plurality of hangers, spaced apart a suitable distance, each of said hangers including a gutter embracing strap 14, a transversely extending bar 15 and a i'erred gage and united by rivets or other suitable fastening means.

The bar 15 includes an outer hook-shaped section 17, fitting over the bead 11 01 the gutter, its opposite end 18 being bent over the plain edge 12 of the gutter, as clearly shown'in Fig. 1 of the drawings. To the hook-shaped end 17 of the said bar is fixed, for instance by means of a rivet 19, the gutter embracing strap 14:, one end of said strap, denoted by the numeral 20, project ing into the bead 11 for a purpose hereinafter to be described, while its other end extends through a slot 21 in the bent portion 18 of the bar 15, and being then bent downwardly into contact with the wall of the building, as shown at 22. The downwardly bent portion 22 of the strap extends below the gutter and is secured to the building wall by a nail 23 or otherwise, to form an anchor for the gutter. 1n the bent portion 18 of the strap 15 is formed an aperture 2 1, through which a nail 25 may be driven into the adjacent portion of the wall oi the building, in order to secure and hold the gutter in position.

The bracket 16 is joined with the bar 15 by a rivet 26 or otherwise, it including an upwardly extending portion 27 and an outwardly projecting section 28, which is secured by nails 29, or otherwise, to the roof 13, from which the rain water is to be carried off.

In use, the hook-shaped end 17 of the bar 15 is engaged with the bead 11 of the gutter, the end 20 off the gutter embracing strap 14 inserted into the said bead, and the bent portion 18 of the bar 15 engaged with the plain edge 12 of the gutter. After this the strap 14 is bent around the gutter and extended through the slot 21 in the bar 15. The strap is then bent downwards into engagement with the building wall and the nail 23 driven into the wall. The nail 25 is then driven through the bar 15, and, finally, the bracket 16 fastened to the roof.

Inasmuch as the bars and straps wholly surround the gutter and both the ends of the 20 of the straps 14 are engaged with the bead 11 of the gutter in order to hold the hook-shaped ends 17 of the bars 15 in contact with the bead throughout the lengths of the said hooks.

What I claim is 1. A gutter hanger comprising a bar extending transverse y of the gutter and provided at its outer end with ahook-shaped section fitting over the bead of the tter, the opposite end of said bar being Eedly attached to the opposite edge of the gutter, a strap member engageable with the ends of the transversely extending bar and tightly embracing the under surface of the gutter,

said strap member having an extension at its outer end adapted for insertion within the beaded edge of the gutter to effectively lock the hook-shaped section in position.

2. A gutter hanger comprising a bar extending transversely of the gutter and provided at its outer end with a hook-shaped section fitting over the bead of the *utter, the opposite end of said bar bein r fixedly attuched to the opposite edge of tie gutter, a

strapimember engageable with the ends oi'lthe transversely extending bar and tightly embracing the under surface of the gutter and terminating at its inner end in a depending portion projecting below the gutter, said strap member bein provided at its opposite end with an extension adapted for insertion within the beaded edge of the gutter.

Signed at New York. in the county of New York and State of New York, this 25th day of January, A. D. 1921.
