BRACKET Filed Aug. 5, 1927 [71 cantor B gamma Patented Apr. 2, 1929.

HANS OLSON, OF PONTIAC, MICHIGAN.

BRACKET.

Application filed August 3, 1927. Serial No. 210,365.

The present invention relates to a bracket and aims to provide a structure which is exceedingly simple in its construction, strong and durable, inexpensive to manufacture,

5 thoroughly efficient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

Another very importan vention resides in the pro is 10 of this nature formed from of wire bent over upon itsini L extremities bent laterally in alir ment with each other for engagement in sle so that the bracket may be swung from side to side as may be desired.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds the invention resides in certain novel details of construction as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevation of the bracket showing the same mounted on a wall, and

Figure 2 is a top plan View of the bracket.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes the plate secured to the wall 6 by means of suitable fastening elements 7. This plate 5 is pro vided with a pair of spaced vertically alined sleeves 8 and 9. A single strand of material. is bent over upon itself to provide a bottom arm 10 which is straight, merging at one end in a downwardly extending pintle 11, and at its other end into the bight 12. The bight 12 merges into the upper arm 13 which is formed in sections 1e; and 15.

The section lat is soldered to an intermediate portion of the arm 10. The section 15 jcct of the in n of a hrack t gle strand and having its terminates in. a downwardly directed pintle 40 16 in. alinement with the pintle 11. These pintles 11 and 16 are receivable in the sleeve 9 and 8, respectively.

It will be seen that the member formed by the single strand of material is the bracket proper and may be easily engaged with the plate 5 and disengaged therefrom and also may be swung from side to side in an out of the way position, or to a position extending away from t e wall as may be desired.

The structure is capable of being manufactured at a very low cost,but yetwillbequite cilicient in use and strong and durable. The present embodiment of the invention, however, has been disclosed in detail merely by way of example since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description. t will be apparent that changes in the details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is:

A bracket of the class described comprising a member formed from a single strand of material bent over upon itself intermediate its ends to provide a pair of arms connected by a curved loop-like bight portion, one of the arms being straight having its end terminating in a pintle laterally and downwardly disposed, the other arm being bent intermediate its ends to provide two sections, one of which is soldered on top of the arm adjacent the bi ght portion and the other of which extends upwardly at n acute an gle to the first arm and terminates in a pintle extending in the same direction with the first pintle and in axial alignment therewith, said 0 bight portion being wholly above the first mentioned arm.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.
