- Figure 15'is ato plan showing the inner or attaching end,'il. lustrating a modification of the type of bracket shown in Figure 13.:
My invention relates to a bracket which. maybe readilyapplied and supported from the hinge-pin of the ordinary door hinge, 0
thereby obviating the necessity of employing screws 'or other special means for fastening thebracket in place; my improved bracket -beingespe.cially intended for pendently sup flirting objects, such as baby-cribs and the e. My improved brackets are particularly 89 adaptable for usein small apartments where floorspace for ordinary cribs or beds is notreadily available; the invention at the same I a time including the elements of strength and safety which is not obtainable in ordinary brackets adapted to be secured in place by means of screws; a type of bracket wherein the strains aremore or less of a pulling nathe upper horizontally disposed arm .21
which is formed with an inverted T-shape,
with the rearwardly declining compression member 23, uniting at its lower end with the hinge engaging base portion 24 of the bracket and which portion is preferably also formed integral with the inner or attaching end of the arm 21 and. is disposed at right angles thereto. The base portion 24 on its outer side is concaved to properly fit about the round butt-end of the hinge shown at 25 while the inner end of the top arm 21 extends somewhat beyond the base portion 24, as shown at 26, and is apertured to receive the hinge-pin 27.
The slot-way 22 in the arm 21 is provided with an extension rod or plate 28 adapted to slide in said slot-way; the inner end of the plate or rod 28 being provided with an upstanding threaded pin 29 adapted to receive butterfly or other suitable nut 30. The threaded pin or stud 29, before the nut 30 is applied thereto, is preferably provided with a washer as at 31 adapted to bear on the upper surface of arm 21 when nut 30 is screwed into place. It is apparent that by screwing nut 30 downwardly, extension arm or rod 28 will be firmly clamped in its adjusted or distended position. The outer end of rod or arm 28 is preferably provided with an eye-hook 32 shown secured in place by a nut 33 so as to permit rotative movement of the eye-hook, as well as its ready replacement; although it is apparent that the hook may be of different form. j i 1 The compression member 23 is also shown provided adjacent to arm 21 with an aperture 34 which is disposed substantially in the same horizontal plane as the eye of the book 32; and one or more reenforcing webs between the arm 21 and compression member 23 may be employed as shown. It is evident that the aperture 34 therefore provides a separate or additional place of attachment for the suspended object.
The bracket is readily secured in place by simply removing hinge-pin 27, inserting the pin through the aperture in the lip or extension 26 of the top arm 21; it being understood that the aperture in the lip or extension 26 is just suflicient to permit the shank of the hinge-pin to pass therethrough without permitting passage of the head of the pin, as clearly shown in Figure 2. With the hingepin re-inserted into the dove-tailing butt portions of the hinge plates, it is evident that my improved bracket will be firmly held against accidental displacement and that the base portion 24 will bear against the buttend of the hinge and permit the bracket to oscillate laterally into parallel relation with the door or adjacent side wall, without interfering with the proper movement or opening of the door. If it is desired to remove the bracket, this may be readily accomplished by simply forcing the bracket upwardly which. automatically lifts hinge-pin 27 out of its socket. In order to accommodate objects of varying sizes, the rod or slide arm 28 may be adjusted to meet requirements in order to pendently support the object without contact with the adjacent wall or door; the object being suspended by suitable rods, wires or other means from the hook 32 and the aperture 34 when desired.
In Figure 6 I illustrate a modification of the construction shown in Figure 1, in that the base or hinge engaging portion 24 is provided with an extension member 35, slotted vertically as shown at 35 to receive a suitable clamp screw and nut as at 35* for securing the same to the main hinge engaging portion. The lower end of member 35 is disposed outwardly or rearward as shown at 36., with the rearwardly disposed lower end 36 slotted as shown at 37,'in Figure 7, so as to straddle the reduced portion of the bottom hinge knob 38. With this construction, it is apparent that the bracket 39 may be adjusted to hinges of varying vertical width and furthermore that it cannot be lifted out of place until the hinge-pin 27 has been removed; the bracket 39 illustrated in Figure 6 being in every other respect, except for 6X-' tensible foot portion or member 35, substantially identical with that shown in Figure 1.
The outer end of the upper arm portions of the brackets shown in Figures 1 and 6 are preferably provided with the upstanding lugs 40 which provide abutment for the washer or plate 31 and prevent the too far outward movement of the extension arm 28.
In Figure 8, I show a modification wherein the top arm 41 is provided with the extension 42 disposed in a plane beyond the base portion 43 so as to be disposed across the top of the hinge 25; and the extension 42 being provided with an enlarged or oblong opening 44 of size suflicient to pass readily over the knob of the hinge-pin 27 without necessitating removal of the hinge-pin. The extension 42, at the base of the opening 44, is provided with an inwardly disposed lip 42 (see Figure 9) adapted to fit beneath the head of the hingepin 27 when the bracket is shifted forwardly. The extension 42 also is'provided with a transversely disposed tapped opening to receive a set-screw 45 after the bracket has been hung onto the knob of the hinge-pin 27; the tapped opening being disposed transversely at a predetermined point relative to lip 42 so as to align the set-screw45 with the re-- duced portion of the knob of the hinge-pin, when the lip engages in the reduced portion on the opposite side of the knob, as clearly shown in Figure 9. With the set-screw 45 screwed into place and with lip 42 also in place, it is apparent that accidental jarring of the bracket off the hinge-pin will be prevented v of the bracket will be permitted.
In Figures 10 and-11, I show a further mod p ification of'my improved bracket which consists of a metal strap or plate 46 having its .end bent back upon itself into loop form. as shown at 47; the strap being of vertical. width equivalent to or somewhat greater than the knob of the hinge-pin 27. The loop portion 47 of the strap is made arcuate vertically to fit the curvature of the spherical knob of the hinge-pin; while the short end 48 of the strap is adapted to be disposed substantially parallel with the main portion the main portion 46 and short arm or end 48' eing provided with registering tapped openings to receive a setscrew 49. After the bracket'member 46 has been inserted over the knob of the hinge-pin 27, set-screw 49 is screwed into'place thereby forcing the two arms of the bracket toward each other into firm clamping relation with the knob of the hinge-pin and thereby preventing its accidental removal because; the
bottom of the arcuate loop portion 47 of the bracket will engage beneath the head or knob of the pin 27 and prevent upward. movement oscillatory movement of the brac et, either about the hinge-pin 27 or through rotation of the hinge-pin in the hinge plates, depending upon the extent to which set-screw 49 has been screwed into place.
In Figure 12, I show a further embodiment of my invention, consisting of a single piece I portion 50, as shown at 52, and is provided with a key-hole opening or slot 53, the enlarged portion whereof, which is disposed forwardly, may pass readily over the knob or head of the hinge-pin 27 while the reduced portion of the slotis adapted to receive the shank of the pin. With this construction, the hinge-pin neednot be entirely removed from the hinge, but just suflicientlyto permit the extension 52 to come intermediate of the tops of the leaves of the hinge and the base of the V knob of the hinge-pin. The outer end of the arm is shown apertured at 54 to receive any suitable fastening means for suspendin the object in place; and the lower end of the web or compression portion 50 at its base is shown flanged or bent angularly into horizon tal position to provide the rearwardly extending slotted ear 55, which,.like the end 36 in the construction shown in Figure 6, is adapted to straddle the reduced part or neck of the finish knob 38 at thebottom of the hinge.
ment of the bracket as well as providing additional hearing at the lowest point of the compression portion of the bracket.
In Figures. 13 and 14, my improved bracket consists of the main bracket member havthe upper arm being extended slightly beyond the base portion shown at 59 and apertured to receive hinge-pin 27. The upper arm 56 is provided with a short slot 59 disposed lengthwise of the arm 56 to receive the downwardly. bent end 60 of extension arm 61; the lower part of the bent end 60 having laterally disposed ears or lugs 62, 62 adapted to extend beyond the sides of the slot 59, for locking the extension arm 61 in place. It is apparent that with this construction arm 61 must be inserted by disposing the same at right angles to the slot 59 in the main bracket portion 56 so as to have the ears 62, 62 disposed lengthwise of-slot 59 in order to permit insertion 'therethrough. 'of the bracket, while nevertheless ermitting Instead of having the construction just described and shown in Figures 13 and 14, the main or hinge engaging portion of the bracket as shown in Figure 15 may have the upper 'arm 63 provided with the longitudinally disposed slot 64, the rear or inner end whereof is extended laterally to opposite sides of the main portion of the slot, as shown at 65,
65, to receive the ears or extensions 62, 62 at the lower end of the downwardly disposed end 60 of the extension arm 61. With the construction shown in Figure 15, the extension arm 61 is inserted into place by having the ears 62 brought into register with the lateral portions 65 of the slot 64; while removal of the extension arm 61 will be prevented as soon as the arm has been moved forwardly in slot 64 where the cats 62 are out of register with the lateral slot portions 65. The upper arm 63, like arm 56 in Figure 13, is apertured at 66 to receive the hinge-pin which must be entirely removed to permit application of the bracket to the hinge.
WVith all of the constructions shown and described, it is apparent that a very secure supporting bracket is provided, one requiring no special tools or skill in application; a
bracket which-maybe readily applied and which may be swung into parallel relation with the door or adjacent wall without interfering with the door operation,and Wl11Cllat the same time may be easily removedby liftdescribed in terms employed merely as terms of description and not as terms of limitation, as certain modifications may be made Without, however, departing from the spirit of my invention.
What I claim is: I
-1. A bracket of the character described comprising, in'combination with a door-hinge provided with a removable hinge-pin, a triangular member, the base whereof is adapted to bear against the butt-end of the hinge, while the upper horizontally disposed side of said member is extended beyond said base to lap the upper end of the butt-end of the hinge, said extension being provided with an oblong aperture to receive the head of the hinge-pin, with the base of the extension having a lip disposed forwardly into said aperture to engage beneath the head of the hingepln.
2. In combination Witha door-hinge having a vertically disposed hinge-pin provided with an enlarged upper exposed end, a bracket adapted to extend horizontally from the butt-end of the hinge, the inner end whereof is formed to provide an oblong opening toreceive the enlarged upper end of the hingepin, the rear wall of the opening being curved to fit beneath said hinge-pin enlarged end,
and means whereby said bracket may be locked to the hinge-pin.
