CORPORATION OI NEW YORK HANGER FOR- RADIATORS Application filed December 7, 1928.
The invention provides an improved style of a hanger by which a radiator can be conveniently supported against a wall in proper position. Y
The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention.
Fig. 1 is a plan of a radiator supported against a wall, with the casing broken away;
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing a double radiator;
Fig. .4: is a plan of a hanger;
Fig. 5 is a side elevation thereof;
Fig. 6 is a front elevation, partly in section.
The hangers are designed particularly for supporting radiators of the type illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3, but can be used also with advantage on practically all radiators.
The radiator illustrated is the tubular type consisting of elongated tubes 1 through which steam or hot water is circulated and to which are applied lateral fins 2 composed of deeply corrugated sheets which provide an extended area for contact with the air to be heated; so that there is a considerable induced draft of heated air through the fiues or vertical passages. The tubes 1 are of small cross-section and it is important that their level or inclination be carefully adjusted for drainage.
Two hangers are used as indicated in Fig. 1, near the opposite ends of the length of the radiator. They are mounted on the face of a wall 3, window frame or other main support. Generally it is desirable to bring the radiator as close to the wall as possible. Each hanger consists of two members which we designate as a wall bracket 4 and a support 5.
The latter projects through an opening 57),
Fig. 2 made for the purpose in a corrugated sheet and has a groove near its forward end in which the tube 1 is seated. When the radiator is thus hung it is free to expand, but it is held against accidental. displacement. By engaging directly under the steam tube, the supports 5 determine the level or inclination of the tubing: the two supports, Fig. 1, being adjusted independently of each other while the steam pipe is resting on them so that great accuracy of inclination of the Serial No. 324,474.
pipe can be secured easily and quickly. The support projects through only the rear corrugated plate. The front plate is spaced away from the tubing so'as to leave room for the support and to conceal; the latter and present a continuous front face of the radiator.
The wall bracket (Figs. 4;, 5 and 6) has a web 6 which is secured to the wall by suitable fasteners such, for example, as expansion bolts-7 (Figs. 2 and 3) or toggle bolts or the like. These fasteners pass through horizontally elongated holes 8 in the web 6 so that afterthe bolts are set in the wall the brackets can be adjusted sidewise about an inch in extent to bring the hangers into proper position with respect to the fins or other projecting parts of the radiator. The bracket has also a forwardly projecting flange 9 which carries studs 10 projecting from its face, their shanks lying within vertically elon gated openings 11 through the support 5 and their heads holding the support loosely against the bracket. The support therefore is free for vertical adjustment with respect to the studs and the bracket. The adjustment is effected by means of a screw 12 passing freely through a horizontal flange 13 on the upper edge of the bracket and threaded through a similar flange 14 on the support and vertically in line with the flange 13. The upper edge of the support is notched at its inner end and bent down to provide the flange 14 so that while the latter underlies the flange 13 the support can be adjusted upward as indicated in dotted lines, Fig. 5, a distance corresponding to the depth of the notch.
When a radiator having pipes in a single vertical plane is to be hung, the support 5 may be a simple triangular stamping of sheet -metal of the shape shown in FigsfQ and 5.
But where a double radiator, that is with pipes in two vertical planes is to be installed, or'where the pipe or other point of support of the radiator is at a substantial distance from the wall, the support is best made in two pieces, F ig. 5, (though it may be stamped out in a single piece including an 1 extension 5, Fig. 3).
' The extension 15 (Figs. 4, 5 and 6) is a straight strip with parallel edges having its inner end welded to the upper part of the member 5; so that while the latter overlies the face of the flange 9, the part 15 lies in line with the flange. This provides 'a compact arrangement. It is also more economical to stamp out the parts 15 and weld them to theparts 5 than it would be to stamp out* the resulting odd shape in a single piece; be
cause of the saving in scrap in punching out Of sheets of standard size. g
The brackets being mounted on the wall and the radiator hung on the supports, a
movement of either end of the radiator verpermitting the adjustment of the latter to a level above the horizontal flange of the wall bracket.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto signed our names. i IRVINGT. BENNETT.

tically can be effected by adjusting the screws 12,- there being suflicient clearance betweenthe back of the radiator and thewall to admit a screwdriver. In Fig. 1, 16'is a casing with a perforated top which is placed over the radiator after the latter is installed.
Various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention as defined in'the follow- 1 'ing claims.
1. A radiator hanger including in combination a wall bracket of sheet metal bent to L-shape in horizontal section with a wall flange and a forward flange and a. support in two sheet metal parts united face to face, one part overlying-the forwardly projecting face of said flange'and another in line with said flange and beyond its forward edge. 2. A radiator hanger including in combination a wall bracket having a vertical flange at right angles to the face of the wall and a bracket. and an adjustable connectionbeof said flange and guided in a vertical plane thereby, and means for moving said support to adjust its height while so guided.
3. A radiator hanger including. in combination-a. wall bracket having a vertical flange at right angles to the faceof the wall and a support having a portion engaging the face of said flange and connected thereto by a pin and vertical slot, and a screw connection between said bracket and said support by which the latter can be accurately adjusted vertically.
