ALANSON J. BARNES, OF VIOKSBURG, MICHIGAN.
||v|PRovEMENT IN gAvEs-TROUGH HANGERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 148,402, dated March 10, 1874 application filed December 6, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALANsoN J. BARNES, of Vicksburg, in the county of Kalamazoo and State of Michigan, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Eaves-Trough Hangers, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference an upper suspension-arm, in combination with a connecting-tie of wire, or its equivalent, as will be hereinafter explained.
The following is a description of my invention:
In the annexed drawing, A represents an eaves-trough, which is constructed, in the usual manner, with an outer head, a. B represents the improved hanger, which may be made of wrought or cast metal, and whichis constructed with two parallel portions, b b1, and two arms, bZ b3, which latter are connected by a wire, C, that passes beneath the trough A, and assists in holding` this trough in its place. The arm b2 is a curved extension of the portion b1, and has an eye, b4, formed in its end, to which the wirev O is fastened. The arm b3 springs from the angle at the lower extremity of the portion b, and has an eye through its upper extremity for the attachment of the wire C. The two portions b b1 of the hanger constitute a clasp for embracing the eaves of a roof, as shown in Fig. 2, and the portion b is perforated to re ceive nails or screws, by which the hanger is firmly secured to the roof. The angle formed by the'two portions b1 b2 receives that edge of the trough A which is next the building, and prevents the trough from being twisted or tilted by the weight of ice or snow in it. E represents a spike having forks E formed on one end. IThis spike is driven into the wall of the building in a proper position to receive the down spout D, which the forks E embrace. The spout is conned between the forks E by means of a wire tie, F, which is fastened to hooks e c. v
By simply removing tlie nails or screws which hold the hangers they can be readily detached from the roof together with the tibigh A.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The eaves-trough hanger B, consisting of the clasping portions b b1, the curved arm b2, and the overhanging arm b3, substantially as described. l
2. The supporting-tie C, combined with arms b2 b3 and clasp b b, and vwith the eavesgtrough A, substantially as set forth. l'
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
ALANSON J. BARNES.
