nature whereby the free end of the circle and the rolled edge of the guttermay be securely e and -rigidly interlocked, which linterlocking maintains the parts practically as a unitary i structure but'which is of such nature as will permit of theready disengagement of these parts when required.
A further object of the invention is to p rovide means of the character stated embodying such structure that the operations of bring?"l tremely simple and yd o not require the exercise of special skill or tools.
A still further and particular object is to so construct the outer end of the circle and vthe parts associated therewith as not to detract from the efficiency either of the circle or thegutter, which "enables the inventive idea to be carried out at a minimum ofcost and yet which will prove highlypractical and. effective in use. 4
With these objects in view, together with others which will appear as the description proceeds, the-invention consists inthe novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, all as will be described more fully Y hereinafter, illustrated in the drawings Aand particularly pointed out in the claims.
Fig. 1 is aside elevation of a circle constructed in accordance with the invention and illustrating a gutter applied tliereto.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary front elevation of the outerY end of the circle.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. l and illustrating a slight modification of the invention.
Fig. 4 is a detail view ofa preferred form of securing strap or cleat, and.
Fig. 5 is a detailed perspective View of a circle and embodying a slight modification of the invention.
In the drawing,
6 indicates generally the v gutter supporting circle, formed preferably ing about the interlocked condition are ex-V of sheet metal and of` U-shape in cross section whereby webs 7 depend from the longitudinal edges of the supporting portion ofthe circle in spaced parallel'relation., The 4inner` end of the circle may be attached to a shankl in any preferred manner, and may be equipped with any desiredvmeans for attaching the'inner edge of the gutter thereto. i The outer` extremity ofthe circle is formed Vwith a prong`8 projectingforwardly there- 50 from to engage and wedge beneath the roll portion 9 of the gutter, in 'a manner generally understood. The outer extremities Of the l webs 7 are cut and bent inwardly toward each Y other toprovide a wall l0 constituting the 65 upper or outer extremity of'a' pocket'. 11. This pocket is formed between the webs 7 vand y the wall 10, and it is preferredthat the metal constituting the wall 10 be cut sothat when the said portions are bent inwardly into enl gagement with each' other, the wall will be disposed at al downwardly and outwardly inv clining angle to thefree end ofthe circle.` This wall, furthermore7 ispositioneda sub! stantial distance belowthe free endfof the 75- v prong/8. The means for tyingthe rolled `portion ofthe gutter. to theendof the Circle includes a strapor'cleat l2 formed of strong but pliable metal, one end of'which is dis-M posed at an angle to provide a tongue lto" engage beneath the walll lO. The cleat or strap is of such length as to reach up froml the pocket and around the roll 9 of the gutter as shown. To lend rigidity lto thecleat or strap, it is proposed to incline the longitudinal edges thereof 14 at a substantial angle to n the body 'portion of the cleat.
lt has been proposed'heretofore to provide a tongue near the end of thecircle and to, have a flexible strap with an opening therein to engagevwith said tongue and then be formed around the roll ina manner similar tothat above described. VA serious objection to this practice, however, is that once the tongue be-l comes broken, which veryfrequently occurs, e'
the circle is useless'and must be abandoned.
By providing the pocket in the manner stated y above and hav-ing the-cleatequipped withjthe v tongue, no damage whatever'can ,occur to the circle in the applying operation but if the Y retaining tongue 13 becomes broken, it is only necessary to provide a new cleat, which may be-readily done .at `Very small cost. By disposing the Wall 10 at the angle described, it Will ybe impossible for Water to accumulate beneath the sameto cause corrosion, and furthermore, such inclination of the Wall permits of the tongue 13 being disposed at such angle toits bodygportion'as to minimize theopp-ortunity for breaking away or bending straight. The distance from the base of the tongue to the inner end of the Wall 10 is greaterV than `al sliglitmodification ofthe invention, wherc in the 'circle is pro'vldedln flits base immediaten i bility t type wvherein but a single flange or webv ,provde df,The y'vvebis represented at7 and 'maydepend froineither edge or the middle 1y' beneath the wall l0 with; an aperture orVV l Openiii 0 15j to receiyefa hook, or vprojection' 16; tte Afriet?.endofthe tongue y13 Y`By pro-V vidi'ng' sfl'icha hook, additional securing means arethusI p'rti'fidedfiO'r theltai'ning end of the v 'cleat andafcci'dental disengagement is posipYide tjliebaseof the Cilfe With a longitudinally disposed depression `17 to permit tively prevented., I-'t-has`` been customaryto 'ofthe circulatien o f air between theocircle fx and the'gutterandgtopermit of drainage, andv the aperture lfkina'y'be located in the bottom ofsuch Vdepres sion and thus permitV ofthe Ahook 1 6"engaging with the base of the circle VWithout coming into injuriouscontact-With th. glitter.
#lil/Figg there isillustrated a .modifica-iV tion ofthe invention which shows the adapta-A of the linve'entive 'idea to circles ofthat portion of the circle. The outer end of the web mavbecutand bent inwardly to provide the Wall 1 0 and downwardlyto provide l side locklS tovpreventthe tongue 13 becoming disengagedfrom beneath thewwall. In. this form ofthe inventiontheopening 15 may be use dif desired, or eliminated. l
Frointhe foregoing it 1s apparent thative have h provided extremely simple yet fully effective means' for bringing about alockns action 'between the outer end lof the lcircle. andthe gutterjroll.v The circles, of WhateverA eP'PQVed design employed', may beaslif cui? and bent at their Router 4 endsto provide the retaining.
