J. LALLY WALL HANGER Utt. 30 1923.

WALL HANGER.

Application filed January 19, 1923. Serial No. 613,666.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN LALLY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Sufiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wall Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

My invent-ion relates to hangers intended to carry joists on brick or masonry walls. It is my object to produce a hanger of rolled stock which can 'be made up in quantities and carried to the building ready for use and which will have the maximum carrying capacity with the minimum of material.

In the drawing Fig. l is a side view of my hanger carrying a joist; Fig. 2 an end View of the structure of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 a View of a modified form of hanger, partly in section.

The complete hanger comprises a pair of pieces of inverted T-

beam

1 and 2 and a depending stirrup preferably formed of round rolled stock and having a bottom bar 3 carrying the joist a, side bars H between which the joist lies and top bars 55. The side bars 4.-& are bent outwardly near their hottoms and the bend between a side bar and its top bar is substantially a right angle. The top edge of the web of a T-beam is welded to a top bar of the stirrup and the end edge of the web of the T-beam is welded to the right-angled portion of a side bar. The other piece of T-beam is likewise welded to a top and sidebar thus producing a unitary hanger with a broad, flat lower face formed of the head of the T-beam ready to be built into or laid on a masonry wall.

This construction raises the right-angled bend in the side bar so far above the point of load that it does not pull down on the outside corner of the brick or masonry as would be the case if only a flat plate were used with the bend resting on it. As the major portions of the side bars are vertical dangerous pulling out strains are avoided and a pulling down strain is produced. The hanger is also easily set as it lies closely against the side of the wall.

Where narrow joists are used, the form shown in Fig. 3 may be employed wherein the inverted T-beam pieces are set with edges of their heads touching and welded together at 6. By using T-beams with wide heads this construction may also be used with wide joists.

In use the hanger is built into the wall and a joist having a bearing plate 7 secured to its under side is set in the hanger with the bottom bar 3 under the plate to avoid cutting the joists. Stops 8-8 of any suitable form may be driven into the joists at the bends in the side bars 4-4: to prevent the vertical port-ions of the side bars pulling away from the wall.

By this construction adequate bearing surface is provided on the hanger where it contacts with the wall to properly distribute the load and prevent breaking out of the wall under load.

I claim 1. A hanger for masonry walls comprising a pair of rolled sections having a bearing face adapted to be built into a wall, a stirrup composed of a bottom bar adapted to carry ajoist, side bars between which a joist is adapted to lie and top bars Welded to the rolled sections.

2. A hanger for masonry walls comprising a pair of rolled sections having a flat bearing face adapted to be built into a wall, a stirrup composed of a bottom bar adapted to carry a joist, side bars between which a joist is adapted to lie and top bars, the top and side bars being welded to the rolled sections.

3. A hanger for masonry walls comprising a pair of inverted T-beams adapted to be built into a wall, a stirrup composed of a bottom bar adapted to carry a joist, side bars between which a joist is adapted to lie and top bars welded to the top edges of the webs of the T-beams.

4. A hanger for masonry walls comprising a pair of inverted T-beams adapted to be built into a wall, a stirrup composed of a bottom bar adapted to carry a oist, side bars between which a joist is adapted to lie and top bars welded to the top edges of the T- beams, the side bars being welded to the end edges of the webs of the T-beams.

5. A hanger for masonry walls comprising a pair of inverted T-beams with the edges of the heads welded together, a stirrup com posed of a bottom bar adapted to carry a joist, side bars between which a joist is adapted to lie and top bars, the stirrup being welded to the T-beams.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.

JOHN LALLY.
