GUTTER-HANGER CIRCL; v
Application filed November Myr inveution relates to an improvement in gutter hanger clrcles.
Heretoioregutter hauger circles, used,
. as is well known, for Supporting gutters on the roofs of'buildings, have been formed by casting and pressed from sheet metal and such circles have proved satisfactory. However, it has been suggested that circles be formed by hending bars of metal of U or channel cross-section in' the desired circle form and effect the formation of the gutter bead hook and gutter Strap hook by bending over extensions of one of the sides or flanges of the channel bar. Such a structure forms the subject-matter of an application for patent filed by me July lst, 1925, Serial No. 40,720, and While it has been found to be of superior efficiency, it is open to some objection in that the bead and Strap hooks,.
due to the formation' of hending, are liable to'break ofi' if subjected to any great stram.
Now it is the object of my present invention to provide -an improved Ocircle formed from a bar of U or channel section, and more particularly one in which the bead and Strap hooks are formed in such a manner as to insure against breakage under any strain likely to be put upon it and one in which the channel structure of the bar from which the circle is formed is retained, thus giving a circle of maximum strength. p
Having'now indicated, in a general way, the nature and purpose of my invention, I will proceed to a `detaileddescription thereof, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in Which is illustrated a preferred embodiment, and in which- Fig. 1 illustrates a gutter hauger circle rembodying my invention, shown .in relation Vto a Supporting shank indicated by dotted lines. i
F ig.`2 is a detail view of a portion of the circle. e
Fig. 3 is a view of a portion of the circle taken at right angles to its extension..
The circle is formed from a bar of U or lchannel shape and comprises. a Supporting i Web a, a gutter seat b and a bottom flange 0, formed respectivel by the web and flanges of the .bar from which the circle Vis formed.
Adjacent one end the circle is extended lvertically and a rib d formed, by distortion of the web portion, for engagement within the shank e, which is of channel section. The outer and inner flanges c and b extend 1formation of the hook the circle proper is 12, 1925. Serial No. 68,502.
parallel with the rib d, and the rib and Web of the shank are provided With a series of holes f to enable the circle to be Securedto the shank by means of a bolt and nut g.
The gutter SupportingV flange b extends parallel with the fiange c and beyond the end of the vertical'ly extending end of the circle, the extended portion being formed by cutting away the Web and outer flange. Adjacent the juncture of the end of the web With the base of the extended portion of the iange b, the end of the Web is notched as at k, Which permits the extended portion of the flange Z) to be bent over to form a gutter bead hook 4i, Without putting undue tension on the upper surface of the metal forming the hook. I
Adjacent the other or free end of the circle Vis formed a gutter strap hook j, the p being effected by cutting out a section of the outer flange c and of the Web a. The hook j When formed consists, as Will be observed, of a section of the lower flange c joined to the gutter supporting seat by a section of the Web a.
The Strap hook as deseribed requires for its production no deformation of the material of which the circle is formed and neither the hook nor the material Connecting it With under any initial strain and therefore has a maximum resistance to strain put upon it.
Further, the gutter head hook shown is of greatly increased efficiency in that the notch h in the web at the base of the hook enables the hookto be bent without undue strain or tension on the metal of its upper surface.
The circle as a Whole is possessed of maximum strength, since, as Will be observed, the outer flange as well as the seat extend throughout both the free or gutter engaging portion of the circle and that portion which is engaged With the lcircle Supporting shank,
thus insuring strength at the point of greats web, said end of the Supporting web being notched at a point slightly spaeed from the fiunge, whereby subsequent hending of the extending portion of the flange and the por tion of the web between the notlch and the fiange produces :1 gutter engaging hook reinforced at its bend by an inwardly extending web member integral with the supporting web.
In testimony of which invention, I have herennto set Iny hand, ut Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, on this llth day of November,
GEORGE B. GEISER.
