HANGER FOR WALL RADIATOR-S.
Application led January 13, V1922. Serial No. 529,058.
To all whom t may concern.' I Be it known that I, MnuwrN C. TATE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a cert-ain new and useful Improvement in Hangers for 1Vall Radiators, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a han-ger for wall io radiators, and has for its object to provide a hanger which is inexpensive to construct and install, and which while simple in construction is very eliicient, the design being such that the load is directly supi5 ported, and without any 'liability of sagging or breakage.
The invention lmay be briefly summarized as consisting in certain novel details of construction, and combinations and arrange- A2o ments of parts which will be described in the specification and set forth in the appended claims.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Fig. 1 is a side view of my improved radiator hanger applied to a wall and showing the radiator by dotted lines; Fig. 2 is a face view of the same with the radiator removed; Fig. 3 is a top plan view showing the top of the strap to which the upper clamp is SU designedto be hooked; Fig. 'el is a top plan vie-w of the seat which is engaged bythe bottom of the radiator; and Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the .same 'along the line v5 5 of Fig. 1l.
My improved radiator like those in use heretofore, involves a lower radiator seat or support, and an upper holding or clamping portion, but the construction which I employ is radically different from that em- 10 ployed in any prior hanger of which I am aware, and the parts are constructed and arranged to perform their respective functions, but in a more eicient and direct manner, particularly in supporting the load or i5 weight of the radiator.
This novel construction which I have provided, comprises a two-part body or bracket having a lower part 10 and an upper part 11. I
The upper part 11 is in the form of a strap produced from so-called fiat or strap iron, the top of which is bent outwardly as shown at 11a and provided with an elongated hole 11b to accommodate a hook 12 having at its outer end a clamping plate 12a designed to hold the radiator which is indicated at R, against the end of the outwardly turned portion 11*iL ofthe strap 11. The opening 11b is elongated-to facilitate assembly and permit the radiator -t-obe clamped against the outwardly turned end of 4the strap irrespective of 60 the locati-on of the sections of the radiator with respect tothe hanger. As this Vmember 11 carries no part of the load, it can be formed of relatively light and inexpensive material, and for that reason is inthe form of a' stra-p as above stated. i
The part 10 which is subjected to the bend-4 ing stress created by the weightof the radiator R, is in the form of an angle and consists preferably of a short section of a rolled steel angle, and in producing the parts l0 I can take a standard size angle and simply cut it into sections of appropriate length equal substantially tothe width of the stra-p iron from which the part 11 is formed.
To permit the parts 10 and 11 to be properly tted together and held'flush against the wall WV, the lower part of the strap is offset as shown in Fig. 1, and lies flat against the upright flange of the lower part 10. rIhe two parts 10 and 11 are held together by one of two wall bolts 13, one passing through the overlapped portions ofthe parts lO'and 11, and one passing through the upper part of the strap 11.
By forming the lower .part 10 from a seetion of standard rolled steel angle -or `angle iron, the part 10 is capable of sustaining without bending or breakage, not only the weight of the radiator, but any additional load which ordinarily may be placed on it.
y Itis a-further feature of my improved radiator that the load is supported and transmitted in a direct manner to the hori- Y zontal flange of the angle or lower part 10 95 ofthe hanger, by means of a vertically ad'- justable part 14, preferably in the form of acap screw.v In the embodiment shown, the upper or head end of the screw is provided with a curved seat 15, also formed out of a short section of a strap or strap iron and suitably curved as shown, to conform somewhatV tothe'bottoin of the radiator. At the middle of the seat there is an opening, through 'which the screw entends, this opening beingY preferably countersunk to take the head of the screw. Preferably the seat is held and clamped between the head of the screw and a nut 14a on the body of the screw as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Additionally I provide on the body of the screw above and below the horizontal flange .of
the angle or part l0 a pair of nuts 14th, the upper of which transmits thev load to the horizontal fiange of the angle, the lower nut simply serving as a clamp Vto fasten the parts rigidly in place after the screw has been adjusted to the desired height, it being understood that the screw passes freely through an opening in the horizontal part of the angle or part lO. Thus this screw which is directly beneath and in line with the radiator takes the load and transmits it in the direction of its axis to the horizontal fiange of the angle 10, but it also in conjunction with the nuts forms a very convenient means of adjusting the height of the seat and of the radiator with reference to the flange of the angle.
Radiator hangers made in accordance with the above description have proven by practice to be very effective for the purpose intended, not only because of the excellent design or in so far as load supporting rfunctions are concerned, but because of the lack of complications or complicated parts, and ease of assembling, and ease of adjustment. Additionally the construction is such that the radiator may move relative to the seat as it expands and contracts, due to changes in temperature. .It is to be understood that a series of these hangers, two or more, will be utilized to support a radiator, the num ber depending upon the length of the radiator. Y'
lhile I have shown the preferred construction, I do not desire to be confined to the exact details shown, as certain changes may be made without departing from the spirit a-nd scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having described my invention, I claim:
l. A hanger for a wall radiator comprising a lower part in the form of' an angle, having a vertically disposed flange and a laterally extending lia-nge, and a radiator seat comprising a screw or bolt supported by said laterally extending flange at right angles thereto and at a substantial distance from the vertical fiange so as to be directly beneath the radiator, and having a radiator engaging part at its upper end.
Y 2. A hanger for a wall radiator comprising a lower part in the form of an angle, having a laterally extending flange, and a radiator seat comprising a vertically dis-V posed screw passing through and adjustably supported b-y said flange adjacent its outer edge, said screw being provided at its upper end with a radiator engaging part adapted to support a radiator directly upon .the upper end of the screw.
8. A hanger for a wall radiator comprising a load supporting part in the form 'of an angle, and an upwardly extending strap connected thereto, the upper part of the strap having a clamp adapted toextend through the radiator tohold the radiator substantially parallel to the wall, and the angle or load supporting part having an upstanding radiator supporting member which is directly beneath and in line with the radiator when the latter is supported by the hanger, said member having a radiator engaging part at its upper end.
4. Ahanger for a Wall radiator comprisingV a lower load supporting part in the form of an angle, and an upper strap, both adapted to be secured to the wall, the lower part of the strap overlapping the vertical flange of the angle, the upper part of the strap having means adapted to extend there through and clamp the radiator thereto, and the angle having a laterally projecting flange provided with a vertically adjustable threaded member having a radiator seat at the top thereof, said member being directly beneath and in line with the radiator when the latter is supported by the hanger.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
MERWIN C. TATE.
