Description

y 30, 1933- A. F. ABRONSKI 9 3 RAIN DOWN-SPOUT HANGER Filed May 18, 1931 INVENTOR 2 2 ATTORNEY-3' Patented May 3%, 1933 UNHTED STATES ALEXANDER F. ABRONSKI, F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA RAIN DOWN-SPOTTED HANGER Application filed May 18, 1931. .Serial No. 538,289.
This invention relates to an improved hanger for supporting a down spout and a purpose of the invention is to provide a hanger, which is adapted to be driven into the mortar between the bricks or otherwise fastened to the wall, and including jaws, one being fixed and the other adjustable, for clamping against substantially opposite portions of a down spout for the purpose of supporting spouts of various sizes, either angular or circular in cross section.
Another purpose is to provide a hanger, where the jaw member is pivoted to the hanger shank, so as to accommodate down spouts in slightly varied positions.
Another purpose is to provide a aw supporting device, which has a slot to receive a tongue device) to guide a jaw, together with ears on the jaw and the device for receiving a screw for holding the jaw in different positions, there being an abutment wall formed on the device against which the tongue engages to guide the movable jaw.
It is to be understood that the particulars herein given are in no way limitative, and that while still keeping within the scope of the invention, any desired modification of details and proportions may be made in the construction of the appliance according to circumstances.
The invention comprises further features and combination of parts to be hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawing and claimed.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a sectional view of a down spout, showing the improved hanger applied.
Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 33 of Figure 1.
Figure 1 is a sectional view through a down spout, showing the hanger applied and illustrating the jaw member pivoted to the hanger.
Figure 5 is a cross sectional view of a down spout, which is of circular formation in cross section, and showing the hanger (which overlies the jaw supporting 1 applied including a modified construction of an adjustable j aw. member. Y
Figure 6 is a detail view of the integral jaw 2a of the hanger showing the forks.
Referring to the drawing especially Figures 1 and 2, 1 identifies a hanger which may be driven into mortar between the bricks of a wall, and carried by thehangerzshank is an integral jaw 2. The extremity of the integral jaw .has a knob or projection or lug 3,-for engagement with a depression formed in the wallof the down spout. One end of the jaw element has a slot 5 and an ear 6 near .thee'nd of the jaw member. An abutment 7 is formed on the jaw member, against which a tongue 8 carried by the movable jaw 9 engages, thereby limiting the movable 'aw in its extended position. i
I The movable jawmember hasa projection I or lug 10, which engages a depression 11 in the downspout'tl2." By this arrangement the down spout is supported against down ward movement. 7 I
'The movable .javv has an upstanding car 13, through which a screw 14 loosely en-. gages, the screw being in turn threaded into the ear 6, thereby adjustably'connecting the movable jaw to the jaw member. The under face oftlie jaw member has a shoulder 14a which limits the closing position of the movs able jaw. T i i Y In Fi ure 1; the jaw carryingmember is pivoted by means of a key 15ftothe hanger shank 16, so that it is possible that the jaw member may accommodate itself to down spouts differently positioned."
In Figure 5 the movable jawis pivoted at 16a to the jaw member, and furthermore the movable jaw has an upstanding ear 17 formed with an elongated slot 18 through which a screw 19 loosely engages. The screw is in turn threaded into one end of the jaw member, so that by adjusting the screw the pivoted jaw can be positioned to engage down spouts circular in cross section, and those of different diameters.
The integral jaw 2a in Figures 5 and 6 terminates in forks 2b, the terminals of which have projections 3a, which engage depressions in the circular down spout.
If its The invention having been set forth, what is claimed is:
1. In a spout hanger, a supporting member including a shank for anchorage in a wall, said supporting member having a fixed jaw at one side, the opposite side of the supporting member having a slot, a movable jaw lying under andin sliding engagement with the fixed jaw and having a tongue e11- gaging up through the slot and lying fiat against the upper surface of the fixed jaw for sliding movement, an upstanding abut ment on the fixed jaw adjoining the slot, and with which that portion of the tongue which lies against and slides on the upper surface of the fixed jaw abuts, thereby reinforcing and guiding the movable jaw in its various positions, adjacent ears, one rising from the. end of the fixed jaw, the other rising from the movable jaw, and a screw loose in the ear of the movable jaw and threaded in the ear of the fixed jaw for retaining the movable jaw in different adjusted positions relative to the spout.
2. In a down spout hanger, a supporting member including a shank for anchorage in a wall, said supporting member having a short fixed jaw and a relatively long fixed jaw, the latter engaging about and substan tially conforming to a down spout and having means at its extremity adapted to engage into the wall of the spout, a movable jaw mounted foradjustment on the relativel short fixed jaw and substantially confbrming to the spout in a position substantially opposite the long fixed jaw, the terminal of the movable I jaw having means adapted, to penetrate into the wall of the spout substantially opposite to correspondingmeans on the long fixed jaw, said relatively short fixed jaw and the movable jaw having registering upstanding elements, and a screw'loosely passing through the element of the movable jaw and threaded through the element of the relatively short fixed jaw, whereby upon adjustment of the screw, the movable jaw may be regulated in position to accommodate spouts of different cross sectional area.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
