DEVICE FOR HOLDING FIRE HOSE NOZZLES Filed March 30. 1929 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 GIL: W lN-VENTOR BY /wvnd/ ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 27, 1931 PATENT OFFICE GUY I1. WHITEFORD, F SALINA, KANSAS DEVICE FOR HOLDING FIRE HOSE NOZZLES Application filed March 30, 1929. Serial No. 351,443.
This invention relates to a holder for fire hose nozzles, the general object of the invention being to provide a bar having a hose clamp at its center, with a handle at one end and a point at its other end so that by turning the bar, the nozzle can be positioned to direct the water to any desired point, with a harness for supporting the bar from the shoulders of the firemen.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure l is a view showing the device in use and handled by two firemen.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the device alone.
Figure 3 is an edge view thereof.
Figure 4 is a view showing the device handled by one fireman.
As shown in these views, the device comprises a bar 1 having a point 2 at one end and a handle 3 at its other end. The central part of the bar is flattened and the middle of the flattened portion is bent into semi-circular form,as shown at 4. A semi-circular part 5 is hingedly connected with one end of the part 4, as shown at 6, and the other end of the part 5 is detachably connected with the flattened part adjacent the part 4 by a bolt and nut 7 or in any other suitable manner. A plurality of rings 8 is carried by the bar 1, these rings passing through holes formed in the bar. Straps 9, each adjustable as to its len th, have snap hooks 10 at each end thereof for engaging the rings.
Thus it will be seen that the hose connection of the nozzle 11 of a hose 12 can be easily and quickly attached to the bar by swinging the part 5 away from the part 4, placing the connection in the part 4 and then closing the part 5, whereby the nozzle is clamped to the bar. The straps are placed around the shoulders of the firemen, as shown in Figure 1, and by one fireman turning the bar through means of its handle 3, the nozzle can be ad usted to throw the water to any desired point. This is clearly shown in Figure 1. WVhen a single fireman is to manipulate the hose, one of the straps is removed and the pointed end of the bar is driven into the surface, as shown in Figure 4, with the strap passing around the shoulder of the fireman. Then by turning the bar through means of its handle, the nozzle can be adjusted as before.
With this invention, one or two firemen can readily hold the nozzle of a hose without danger of its getting away from them and by turning the bar by its handle, the firemen can direct the water from the nozzle laterally or vertically at any angle.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is A device for holding fire hose nozzles comprising a bar having one end pointed, a handle formed intermediate its ends with the outer end of the bar, a hose attaching means located 011 the bar intermediate the ends of the latter, spaced rings on the bar at opposite sides of the hose attaching means, adjustable shoulder straps having one end of each strap connected to the rings at one side of the hose attaching means and the other end of each strap connected to the rings at the opposite side of the hose clamping means with the straps passing over opposite shoulders of persons supporting the bar horizontally and in front thereof. I
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
GUY L. WHITEFORD.
