IMPROVEMENT IN EAVES-TRO'UGH HANGERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 158,419, dated January 5,1875; application filed November 14, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD KIRK, J r., of Sheridan, in the county of La Salle and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Eaves-Trough Hanger, of which the following is a specification:
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a vertical transverse section through the eaves-trough and hanger, taken on the line 0 c, Fig. 2, showing its connection to the roof; Fig. 2, a top view of the same and Fig. 3 a side view of the same, showinga modified form of the hanger as attached to overhanging roofs.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
My invention relates to a strong, simple, and reliable eavestrough hanger, for securing the eaves trough or gutter in substantial manner to the roof; and it consists of a lateral brace, with forked ends or prongs, which are driven in horizontal direction through the gutter near its inner edge into the frame of the roof, being bolted to a metallic band or strap, arranged to embrace with one end the outer rim or head of the same, while its upwardly-inclined rear part is attached to the shingles and roof-frame.
In the drawing, A represents an eavestrough or gutter, of the usual semicircular construction, and with the common outer rim or head. These gutters have hitherto been fastened by means of numerous braces and straps, or by various hanger constructions,
which have not iven for different reasons 7 entire satisfaction, as they have been either too weak, so as to break away and become useless, or complicated and expensive.
My fastening or hanger consists of only two pieces, and provides a two-fold support at the inner and outer part of the gutter, by means of the lateral brace B, with forked or pointed ends being placed in horizontal direction across the upper part of the gutter, and driven through the inner part near the edge of the same, and bolted to the main band or strap, 0, that is applied by an outer rim, embracing the sleeve part a to the gutter, and nailed by its upward-inclined and rearward-extending upper part 1) onto the roof-frame. The brace and strap connecting bolt cl passes through a hole of the strap and a slot, at, of the brace B, the slot being arranged for the purpose of allowing the ready adjustment of \the outer curved part c of the strap over gutterrims of varying sizes. When the brace and strap hangings are applied to the gutter the projecting teeth of the brace are driven into the roof-frame, and the upper end of the strap is nailed to the roof, so that a solid or permanent support for back and front of the gut ter is obtained, which maintains the proper and steady position and shape of the gutter.
I11 cases where the roofs overhang so far as to prevent the driving in of the braceteeth as interior support, the same are clinched over the gutter, and an additional strap bolted through a hole of the brace near the inner edge of the gutter, and attached to the roof and main strap in suitable manner, as indicated in Fig. 3, in which case, however, one of the main advantages of my hangername- ]y,' the support at the back of the gutter-is not made available.
Havingthus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination, with the brace B, slotted at d, and the strap 0, having sleeve a of the nutted bolt (1, as and for the purpose described.
