EDIATQB HANGER.

Appiication lcd Aprii 5.

To .-fi :Pimm if moy "miem-n Re it known that we. Joni.Y A. lligim' and JAMES l'l. ilmm'. Citizens ot' the Vinted `tiiteei, residing, respectively. at Langdonl County ot',\\'iisliington, and at Ht.. lziiil, in the ioiinty of Ramsey, and State ot Minot Sota. have invented new and uset'ol lmproiiL niente in Radiator Hangers, of whirli the following is a speeitieatioifi.

(hir invention relates to improvements in radiator hangers.

lin hanging radiators from a wall it is preferable from the standpoint otl Seniority and eoonoiii)Y to embed suspension holteA iii the brick or eoiurete as tht` wall is 'efit-eteil. The proper loi-ating of such bolts is difiieidt. however. until the interior finishing has been completed. lf Sneh time be ('hosen Vfor the installation of Suspension means. holes` must. he r-arel'iilly drilled and expansion shieldeor similar boite employed. iieh ii'iethod ie slow. expensive. and ineti'iiieiit. :ind il: ilie` bolts he plated during the ei-eetion of the wall diftifiilty in :diningr thi` hangers` troni the frefpientiy i'nisphiied bolts is experieiiied.

(hir objeit ie to provide a strong and econoniigai hanger possessing novel oleane ior seeuring a radiator in proper alineinent with the wail.

further object is to provide adiufetiihle means for oit-setting a radiator i'ioiii the nali to elear :in obstruction suih ne. ii haar board or moulding.

Another object is to supply means for adjusting radiatore vertically and longitudinali) troni a previously positioned bolt or socket embedded in a brick or ronereirwilli.

These and other objects will more fnili hereinafter appear in the. following specifiiation.

ln the accompanying drawings Figure is an end View ot our hangar Showing it :it-- tached to a wall, supporting a radiator indicated in dotted lines: Fig. .2 is :i front view of the hanger with the retaining holt and dise, removed; Fig. B is a Yertitai Sei-tion through the box frame and :i portion ot the cement vali to which it is attachedwith'ii` portion of one of the tubes ot a radiator shown in dotted lines; Fig. 4 is ii troni View of the retaining dist and holt ti'igether with portionsl ot the adjoining tubes of a radiator; Fig. 5 is a view of the yretaining holt and disc' showing the dist' in the position for in betting it between the tubes of a radiator: Fig. G is a. View of the saine 'in the position 2920, Seriai No. M1292.

toi' engaging the tubes of a rzidiator; Fig. 'i' is a horizontal sei'tiou through the (dieet ideen and rei'iii-ai pipe; :ind Fig. is e. horizontal eeetion oi' the hon franie taken on the line S-S oi" Fig.

Referring to the drawings, we have used the numeral i to indicate :i hox traine. 2 vel'- tii-al siispeneion pipe or rod. 3 iin offset sleeve.` 4 a lower supporting bracket. 5 a retaining boit. and G a retaining disc. The letter B i'eprreents a radiator ot' ordinary type.

The box traine l is suspended from an anchor holt (Figs. 1 and 2V) whii'h passes through n slot T (Fig. '2i in said trarne. :uid has a nut .fi whiih holds the traine 1 against the wall. The ani-hor bolt S i5 Setnred in Suitable manner in the wall. Studs 12 (Figs. l sind 8) are east integral with the trarne 1 and proiftt into reeesses in the wall to Secure Said traine against tilting motion on the wall. The body ot' the Frame 1 is in the shape of :in open box haring a Slot 1li (Fig. 2l to reeeive the inner end of the retaining boit as Shown iii liig. 3, and a slot 11. (Figs. Fi and ii) to ieieive the upper end ot' the vertical pipe The vertical pipe 2 is tl'ireailed at its appui' end to rei'eive a hexagonal nut 15%, passen through the odset sleeve Il :iiid'lsleeie ll of the bracket 4. and is threaded to reeeive ii i'ap 15 at its lower end. The hexagonal nut 13 is supported in n rhannel foi-ined by two groovee4 1G. one on either tside ol` the slot itin the traine. 1 so as to prevent said nut troni turning but allowing longitudinal adpistnient in the jiistzdile 'vertiialiy by sliding on the rod Q.

The flanges 1S abut against. the Wall and the {ianges 19 ahnt against; adjacen radiator tubes. as shown in Fig. 1.

The lower bracket. 4 extends under the lower horizontal pipe of the radiator R to corny the weight of said radiator and is VFormed with the sleevelel through which the vertical 'pipe 2 passes. The sleeve 14 of the lower bracket 4 is slidable on the pipe 2 and Supported by the cap 15 which is screwed over the lower end of Said pipe.

The retziiiiiiig` bolt 5, together with the dise t, (Eiger 5, it. 5 and 6) isi provided to hold the upper portion of the radiator R, from tilting away from the welll The bolt i through n hole in the renter of the disc (i, between tun refill-1to1 tubes, extends through (he Hotel: il! in the boitv frame l, and is secured by e nut :2U within said 'frame 1.` 'Vlie heefl 5 of seid bolt 5 engages the disc' fi to hold Suhl (lise in contact with ailjurent tubes of the rullini tor R.

The dise' 6 is designed to he turned, :is shown inA Fig. 5, to lie substantially in the same plane with the axis of the holt 5 so that it may be easily inserted between the tuhes of a radiator und then turned to' the posi tion shown in Figs. 4 and 6 to'enguge the radiator tubes. After the lise i3 hun hren placed in this. position the nut 2O sere-weil on the inner end of the holt 5, es shown in Fig. 3. thus Securing the radiator B from tilting away from the wall. Two or more of my hangers :1re plm-wl :it intervals tu support radiators of various lengths The slot 7 permits a rvriuin amount oi' vertical adjustment, and further adjustment in this direction is sei'urril hy nmking ii possible to tern the nui 13 e gre-:iter or less Eislnufre on the thremleil upper enel ol' the pipe :2. Leterzlil adjustment is wrmittell ry the slots Thus, any

l0 and 11 in the box frame 1 which allow the retainingbolt 5 and vertical pipe 2, together with the oli'set sleeve 3 und lower bracket et, to be plereil at any desired point. misplaring of the anchor bolt 8 may be counteracted by proper adjustment of om.' hanger.

Having c'lrsl'i'ihenl our invention what we claim :is new enel desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

ln a hangen the combination of a frame arranged to he scoured to :1 Wall, u substantially vertical and transversely adjustable rml suspended from said frame, a bracket for supporting a radiator on the lower end of said roll, en olf-set separate from sairl lu'au'ket :intl Sliqlahly mounted on said rod above said hruelzet adapted to engage said rod above :L hase honra? to maintain its vertical position und e transversely adjustable holt secured in saiil Frame und arranged to holcl u ridiator toniml the wall, the adjustment lifsaid bolt Abeing independent of the :adjustment of seid venfi'ealfrod.

n testimoniY whereof, we have hereunto suhsi'riheil our names to this specification.
