KOCHS COM-r PATENT OFFICE P ANY. or CHICAGO, 4iLLINoIs, a CORPORATION or ILLINOIS BARBERS POLE Application l'ed 'March 24, 1932.` Serial No. 600,905.
This invention relates to a barbers pole of the wall-mounted type. f The present improvements have to do with lthe assembly of the pole parts, and their securement in unitary relation to af base which is attachable to a wall or other structure, the construction being simplified v'and rendered susceptible of ready disassembly for purposes of repair, replacement, etc. .f v
A suggestive lembodiment of this invention is set forth inthe accompanying drawing,in which` Figure 1 is a view in vertical section showing'the present barbers lpole attached toY a vertical wall or other supporting structure;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary section through the upper end of the cylinder and support therefor; l.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing the lower end of the cylinder and support therefor; 1
Fig. 4 is an enlarged transverse section on line 4 of Fig'l; and
Fig. 5 is a similar view taken on .line 5 of Fig. 1.
In the accompanying drawing is shown a vertical wall W somewhat rough and irregular, as is commonly characteristic of a build ing front upon which aA barbers pole is mounted. yAttached to sucha wall are a pair of U-shaped clipsA, each having outturned feet '6 at its opposite ends through which screws or bolts` are passed for anchorage in the wall. Each clip may be further provided with a central opening for receiving a bolt 7 which connects with a polebase B desirably of channel formation. The clips which are attached to the base near its opposite ends serve to mount the latter iixedly upon the wall in slightly spaced relation to the irregular face thereof. This is advantageous because the base may be anchored vertically in place freeof interference with such projections as are commonlyy encountered in a buildling front made of masonry or the like.
The pole shown 4comprises a cylinder C lsupported between upper and lower brackets U and L respectively. In accordance with usual practice, the cylinder is produced kdesirably of translucent or transparent material with characteristic decoration. r
The lower bracket which supports the weight of the cylinder is of hollow construction with a circular wall inwardly flanged at 10 to form a seat on which may be rested a flange 11 out-turned from a cap 12 whose cylindrical wall depends into the interior of the bracket. An inturned flange 14at the lower end of the cap forms a support upon which ythe lower end of the cylinder is rested. The cap which desirably is made of nonscorrosive material, such as brass, may be cemented or otherwise securedto the lower end of the cylinder. Its connection with the bracket bracket is disconnected from the base, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
Extending laterally to one side of the bracket is an arm 1,5 having spaced ears 16 adapted to lie adjacent opposite faces of the base for connection therewith. Such a connection may conveniently be made with screws 17 passing-through openings in the two ears for threaded connection with registering openings in the side walls of the base channel. Other ears 18 which extend vertically and oppositely from'the arm 15 are adapted to lie upon the front facel of the base channel to assist in maintaining the bracket horizontally in position when secured in place as by means of the screws already suggested. To remove the bracket, it is necessary merely that the screws be loosened by use of a suitable instrument applied. to the screws from opposite sides of the pole. The bracket is positioned above or below the lowermost clip A, the latter arrangement being suggested in Fig. 1.
Applied over the upper end of the cylinder is the top bracket U also of hollow construction. As shown, this is formed with a depending circular wall 20 terminating in an inturned flange over which may be fitted a vgasket 21 of rubber or the like which furforcement 22, as of tape or other suitable l190 material. Extending horizontally within the bracket is a spider 23 overlying the top end of the cylinder. To one side of the bracket is a laterally extending arm 25 formed with spaced ears 26 adapted to lic adjacent opposite faces of the base and with other ears 27 extending vertically in opposite directions telic against the front face of the base.
The upper bracket provides on its upper end a circular wall 30 within which is received therbase of a globe 3l secured in place as by set-screws 32. Vithin the globe is positioned a lightg) supported upon an upwardly extending arm 34 having a mounting in a. coupling 35 which is carried bythe spider 23. VDepending from this coupling is a second arm 36 supporting at its lower end a second light 37 `ositioned within the cylinder to eliect an illumination thereof. The wiring 40 for the lights is extended through the supporting arms therefor, Yemerging' through a lateral opening in the coupling lo!" passage through the arm 25 which is hollow. The arm is connected lixedly to the channel base as by means of a hollow nipple 41 threaded into the end of the bracket ari'n for extension through an opening into the base' to receive at its end a nut 42 bearing airst the inside face of the base channel.
wiring continues on through the nipple and through the supporting wall W wherein an insulated bushing 43 may be provided, as shown. l
A barbers pole of the kind'described will require little, Yif any, attention when once placed in use. At such time, however, as may ne necessary to clean the cylinder or lights, or make repairs, it is necessary merely that the lower bracket be disconnected from the suprting base. When this is done, the cylinr may be slid out from the upper bracket whose positioni remains undisturbed, this movement being suggested by the dotted lines in Fig. l.` With the cylinder removed, all parts requiring attention are fully exposed com! to facilitate any operations to be performed. The replacement of the cylinder rand attachment of the lower supporting bracket is accomplished by the reversal of the movements just described= This invention is advantageous in its simlicity of the several parts which are assemled in the manner described, and in the comlote protection which is afforded to the ghts, wiring, etc. The pole may be produced at small cost, and is readily attachable together with its supporting base to a wall of irregular face. Once installed, as herein explained, the base for the pole will remain securely in place, furnishing a mounting which is both convenient and secure for the pole assembly.
