ADJUSTABLE HANGER OE SUPPORT.
Application filed March 13, 1926.
The object of this invention is to provide a new and improved form of spring supporting devices for various objects more especially small objects.
' This and other objects of the invention will be fully illustrated in the drawing, de scribed in the specification and pointed out in the claims at the end thereof.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 shows a spring support for an incandescent lamp when used as a floor lamp.
Figure 2 shows a modification of the same invention fastened to a picture frame tor the purpose of supporting it from a mold ing. etc.
Figure 3 is another modification of the spring support applied to a picture frame for the purpose of supporting it from a molding.
In the drawings like reference numerals indicate like parts.
In the drawings reference numeral 1 indi cates a spring sheet metal support of my invention which is adapted to engage with a round rod and hold itself in place thereon, or hold the rod supported thereby. For this purpose the spring support comprises two members A and B joined together at the base C and formed so as to be suitably spaced apart at the outer ends. At the outer ends they are suitably perforated so to receive the rod 2 in this case which is attached to a pedestal 3 by which the rod is ield in an upright position from the floor. The rod 2 may be round which will permit the support to swing sideways or may be square or oval with perforations in the support to correspond in which case the support will be held against swinging, To this support is attached a suitable yoke that engages with the socketof an incandescent lamp so that the lamp is supported thereby. This yoke is made in one piece and the two sides of it are held together so as to closely cmbra co the lamp by the clips t and 5 which are of the shape of a fork and slid down over the two side members of the yoke so as to hold them closely together. T he base of the yoke is fastened to the base of the support by a small bolt and nut. By pressing the outer ends of the two members A and B of the support together it is released irom the upright so that it can be moved along the upright and when the members A and B are released they spring apart and enga. ,rc the'upright so as to hold themselves securely Serial No. 9l,623.
thereon. The holes in the supporting members A and ii are sl ghtly larger than the i but so as to grip the rod when. they are spread apari and slightly inclined thereto. The more th v are spread the tighter tucy will grip.
b. In Figure 2 T have shown the spring Il1CUlbers T and 8 fastened together by a bolt 2) and attached to an a ugle bracket 10. rat the outer ends, the spring menmers are bent apart and are si'iitably perforated to receive the rods ll and 1:2 with which they engage and lock. The angle bracket 1tis attachcd to a picture frame for example and by this device the picture iii me is supported. upper ends of the ro ll and 12 are joined together and bent over in the form of a heel; that will engage a picture molding or any other suitable support. By bringing till loose ends of the springs 7 and 8 together l rods 11 and 12 are released and may be moved up or down as may be desired and the picture may be hung to correspond. This permits the adjustment to be made before the picture hung.
In Figure 3 l have show another type o? support in which the spring members are joined together by the base 15. To this base is attached the lniacket l6 whichis bent in the opposite direction from the spring incur bers and is parallel to the sides of them. This bracket can also be rttached to a picture frame at d the spring members can cua suppmtiag rod ii, the upper end to of this red is hook shaped and is adapted to engage a molding or any other suitable 4 ipport. l have shown the bracket it; attachdd to the picture frame with two screws. This prevents it from swinging. One screw only may be used which will permit it to saw and this will rather increase its grippingeifeet on the rod l7.
Spring srupporting devices made in this way adapt themselves to a great variety oi? uses aside from those shown. Two of the devices shown in liigures l and 2 can be adapted to support a shelt. one 0t them can be used to support a mirror. The evi .1 of Fhrures 2 and 3 can be used to support a sash, etc. and so on indefinitely.
I claim:
1. A spring supporting device comprising two plates formed of spring meta normally standing apart at both ends and joined totlt) gether between the ends, each plate having a hole therein at each end, a pair of rods held fixed with relation to each other passing through the holes of both plates at each end thereof, the plates being adapted to slide on the rods when pressed together and being adapted to grip the rods when sprung apart.
2. A spring supporting device comprising two plates formed of spring metal normally standing apart at both ends and joined together between the ends, each plate having a hole therein 7 at each end, rods passing through the holes of both plates at each end thereof said rods being joined together at one end. the plates being adapted to slide on the rods when pressed together and being adapted to grip the rods when sprung apart, a. bracket attached to said plates by which it 'gether back to back in the "middle thereof,
egch end of said how shaped plates having a hole therein, the holes of one bow shaped 1 plate bein normally slightly out of line with 3 the holes of the other how shaped plate, a
pair of rods passing thru the opposing pair of holes of said how shaped plates. a hook 30 formed at one end of each of said pair of rods. and a link connecting the free ends of said hooks.
In testimony whereof l afiix n'iysignatnre.
