I ATTACHMENT FOR HOT AIR PIPES OR THE LIKE Filed Jan 20, 1928 Patented Jan. 7, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CLARENCE GEORGE MOORE AND CLAUDE MOORE, F INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA ATTACHMENT FOR HOT-AIR PIPES OR THE LIKE Application filed January 20, 1928. Serial No. 248,259.

This invention relates to attachments for air pipes and registers and the like, and one feature of the invention is the provision of a screen structure so arranged that it will prevent articles from descending into hot air pipes when properly arranged in the register associated therewith, orin the end of the pipe.

A further feature of the invention is in so arranging the same that it may be used in connection with a pipe entering through the floor or wall of a building.

A further feature of the invention is the provision of means for reinforcing the edges of the attachment to protect it from destruction and to hold it in rigid position.

A further feature of the invention is the provision of means for readily introducing or removing the attachment from engagement with the pipes and registers. 7

Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter more fully set forth and pointed out in the accompanying specification.

In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application,

Figure 1 is a plan View of the attachment.

Figure 2 is a perspective view thereof and,

Figure 3 is a sectional view as seen on line 33, Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates a section of woven wire, preferably galvanized, the mesh of which is of such size as to prevent articles passing therethrough and entering a pipe (not shown) beneath or in the rear thereof, at the same time permitting a free flow of air through the register (not shown) normally placed over the end of the pipe.

Surrounding the edges of the section of wire 1 is a reinforcing means 2, preferably in the form of a channeled frame, into which the 4 selvage edges of the wire section 1 are secured, said frame being shaped to fit the register box (not shown) or the mouth of the pipe over which it is placed.

In order to readily introduce the attachment into position or remove the same therefrom, handle members 3 are attached to the section of woven wire in any approved manner, so that they may be grasped for trans porting or otherwise handling the attachment.

Some forms of register boxes or pipes, especially those placed in the wall of a building, require means for retaining the attachment in proper position, and to this end stay wires 4 are connected to the woven fabric 1, one end of the wire being passed through the wire fabric,-and this portion then bent'along the face of the fabric a distance, the extreme end thereof being again passed through the fabric and crimped over the opposite face thereof, as indicated at M Fig. 3. The unsecured portions of the stay wires 4 are extended outwardly a distance from the face of the woven wire fabric 1 and the extreme outer ends thereof then extended at right, angles to form means for holding the attachment in proper spaced relation with the end of the pipe over which it is placed and the register cooperating therewith.

In applying the attachment the register is first removed from the register box and the attachment then introduced over the end of the air pipe entering the register box, after which the register is returned to position over the box and secured thereover in'the usual manner. The mesh of the fabric 1 is sufficiently small as to prevent objects passing into the pipe over which the attachment is placed, but permitting free flow ofthe heated air therethrough.

The stay wires 1, when used, rest against the inner face of the register or the box in which it is placed and consequently retains the attachment in close proximity to the end of the pipe, this being expressly applicable to wall registers where the attachment rests in a vertical position.

What we claim is:

1. An attachment for hot air pipes or the like comprising a section of woven wire fabric adapted to be positioned over the end of a pipe, a channelled frame surrounding the edges, of the fabric, and stay wires having one portion extended parallel with one face of said fabric and resting thereagainst, said paralleling portion having right angularly extending portions at its ends and projecting through said fabric, one of which is bent over and engaged with, the opposite face of the fabric and the other extended a distance 'be- L100 yond the face of the fabric, said extended portion having a laterally extending end adapted to engage an object and hold said attachment in fixed position.

2. An attachment for hot air pipes or the like comprising a section of Woven Wire fabric adapted to be positioned over the end of a pipe, a channelled frame surrounding the edges of the fabric, and stay Wires having one portion extended parallel with one face" of said fabric and restingt he'r'eagainst, said paralleling portion havingright angularly extending portions at its ends and projecting through said fabric, one of which is bent over and engaged with theopposite face of the fabric and the othergextendeda distance'beyond the face of the fabric, said extended portion having a laterally extending end adapted to engage an object andhold said attachment in fixed position, and handle I members attached to the fabric, whereby the attachment may be readily applied to or removed froln position; I v H CLARENCE GEORGE MOO E.
