ROOFING BRACKET.
Application filed January 23, 1926. Serial No. 83,368.
This invention relates to brackets for use in laying pitched roofs to support the workmen and prevent them from slipping off the roof.
The aim of the invention is to provide a device of this sort having various features of n proved roofing bracket is formed from strip metal, the parts of, which are bent to shape and riveted together, and the parts being so arranged and constructed that while the structure is relatively light, the bracket is rigid and sufficiently 'strongto stand the strains to which it is subjected when in use.
Other objects of the invention will be in'. part obvious and in part pointed out more in detail hereinafter.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which will be eXemplied in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, wherein I have shown for illustrative purposes one of the many embodiments which the present invention may take:
Fig. 1 is a side View of my roofing bracket applied to a roof shown in cross section;
Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the bracket looking in the direction of arrow A, of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on a line 3-3 of Fig. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrow. f
Referring to the drawing in detail, my imy proved bracket is provided with a forwardly extending tang 10 having at its forward end means for hooking the same about a nail or tack C employed for securing in place the roofing elements D, such as shingles, or roofing strips. Extending outwardly from and preferably formed integrally with the lower end of the tang, is a shelf 11, the outer end of which is bent upwardly as of 12 and then over and inwardly as at 13 so to provide a hooked portion for preventing lateral displacement of a board or strip 14 positioned on the shelf. It is understood, ofcourse, that the board 14 'will be supported by two or more of my improved brackets and that the workman will stand on this board or lay full length on the roof with his vfeet on the board.l The board may also be used to supporta ready supply of roofing elements. My improved bracket further includes a brace for this shelf. This brace may be formed of one or more strips of metal suitably bent to shape. vIn the present instance the brace comprises 'two' strips and has a roof engaging portion 17 secured to the shelf 11, and one or more struts 18, the opposite ends of which are respectively secured to the shelf and the portion 17. In the present illustrative disclosure, two such struts are illustrated. The roofing engaging portion 17 has its forward end turned outwardlyv asiat 2O and this 'outwardlyturned end is secured to the shelf by a rivet 21 or the like. The lower or rear end of the portion 17 is turned upwardly and forwardly into the form of a hook 22, the purpose of this hook being to provide an anvil, so to speak, which may be given a blow when it is desired to dicengage the tank from the nail or tack over which it is hooked. rlhe struts 18 are preferably formed from a single strip of metal, one end of the strip being turned inwardly as at 23 and secured'to the shelf by a rivet 24,. The other end of the strip, which forms the upper end of theouter strut, engages the portion 12 of the shelf and is secured thereto by a rivet Between the struts is portion 27 which overlies the portion 17 and is secured thereto by rivets 28 and 29. In order to hold the brace iu an upright position and to prevent lateral swaying of the sin port, there is secured to the portion 17, a lateral extending strip 33, the ends of which constitute feet adapted to engage the roofing element with which the portion 17 is an engagement. This strip is preferably secured in place by the rivet 29.
The forward end of the tang 10 is beveled as at 85 to facilitate insertion of the tang beneath rooting elements which have already been laid. The tang is provided with spaced slots 36 which extend inwardly and forwardly from one edge of the tang.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that my improved rooting bracket comprises a relatively-few number of parts, each of which is formed of stripA metal. The bends in these strips may be readily'elected 'andthe parte are easily assembled. The brace effectively vprevents bending or distortion of the shelf, and the brace, itself, is so constructed and secured to the shelf that it will retain its shape altio it is subjected to'extremely rough usage. To remove the bracket from place, it is merely necessary to strike'vvith a hammer or l,other tool, the loiver end of'the hook 22,
fthereby forcing the tang forwardlyv and as 'the slot-s 36 are inclined in' the manner described, the tang Will be cammed out of engagement with nail C over which it is hooked. The bracket can then Abe slid dovn- 'Wardly .to Withdraw 'the tan'g'from beneath the'iooiing element, then the support is moved to aI position' higher up on thereof.,
vand ythey beveled end of the tang is inserted `lbeneath a roofing element to a position Where provided with means for anchoring the same, A
a shelf extending outwardly from said tang', and a brace for said shelf having a root engaging portion and a strut between the roof engaging portion and shelf, the rear end of said roor" engaging portion eitending beyond said strut and being hooked to provide an anvil Whi ch may be struck When disengaging 1'Clie tang from the member to which it is anchored.
