Description
Sept. 29, 1931. w. L. ARCHER VENTILATOR FOR BUILDINGS Original Filed Oct. 19, 1928 Patented Sept. 29, 1931 UNITED STATES WESLEY LINCOLN ARCHER, OF RUT'LAND, VERMONT VENTILATOR FOR BUILDINGS Application filed October 19, 1928, Serial No. 313,532. Renewed February 20, 1931.
This invention aims to provide novel means whereby a building may be ventilated, an ample supply of fresh air being supplied, without invading the privacy of the occupants of the buildng.
It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.
With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in elevation, a building equipped with a ventilator constructed in accordance with the invention, the ventilator being open;
Figure 2 is a tion of the structure depicted in Figure 1.
The drawings show a'building of any desired kind, including roof sections 1 forming a gable 2, the end rafters appearing at 3. The end wall 4 of the building is set back from the end of the roof to form an overhang 5. Strips or boards 6 and 7 extend across the building, in the overhang, and are rigidly attached to the roof sections 1 and 2, near their base, thus strongly tying them against spreading under great loads, as of snow. Said boards 6 and 7 also form a convenient shelf available from inside the build- A closure for the gable is provided, and is marked generally by the numeral 8. This closure is triangular in form, and may be made of any suitable material in any appropriate way. It may comprise a frame 9 sustained by braces 10, a panel 11 being mounted on the frame and on the braces. Hinges 12 connect the straight lower edge of the closure 8 with the strip or board 7, so that the closure can be swung inwardly, as shown in dotted line in Figure 2. When the two fragmental longitudinal sec- I upper members of the frame 9 are placed outside the panel 11, as here shown, said members 9 form, when the ventilator is opened, an upwardly projecting rim or lip, thus preventing water from blowing inward durlng hard storms.
A mechanism 14 is provided for holding the closure 8 at any angle to which it may be swung. This mechanism 14 need not be described in detail, becauseit may be of any preferred construction. The usual hardware employed for holding a transom open may be used, if desired.
It will be obvious that by swinging the closure 8 to an open position, the hot air will bepermitted to escape from the top of the bullding, and that is where ventilation is most needed, especially in a low building of the camp type shown in the drawings. Although, by such an operation, a large openmg can be provided for ventilation, in the end of the building, there is no invasion of the privacy of the occupants of the building, and 1n the event of rain, the member 8 may be closed in an instant, and the building will a resume its weather-proof character, the closure 8 moving up against the end rafters 3 which serve as a stop.
Having thus described the invention, what 1s claimed is:
In combination, a building having an end wall, and roof sections defining a gable. a shelf extended across the building and located near to the upper edge of the end wall, a panel extended from the shelf to the roof sections, and constituting a closure for the gable, and means for hingedly connecting the lower edge of the panel to the shelf, thereby to permit the panel to be swung inwardly over the shelf and to open completely the space at the gable between the shelf and the roof sectlons.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereunto aifixed my signature.
WESLEY LINCOLN ARCHER.
