GUTTER HANGER Filed NOV. 6, 1931 y /M/fA/raf- Patented Apr. 16, 1935 UNITED 'STATES yrirri-:nir OFFICE Application November 6, 1931, Serial No. 573,387
4 Claims.
'I'his invention relates to an improvement in gutter hangers and more particularly relates to a hanger for double bead gutters.
The hanger in accordance with this invention is adapted for support of gutters or eaves troughs such as are provided on buildings.
The hanger in accordance with this invention comprises essentially a strap member adapted to embrace the gutter and engage with itself, the strap member being soformed that in engagement with itself it may be drawn into snug engagement with the gutter including the beads thereof, and being provided with a member for attachment to the roof of a` building.
More particularly the hanger is provided with specially shaped portions for engagement with the beads of a gutter and at the point of engagement with itself, it is formed lso that when tightened up around a gutter the bead engaging portions and the hanger as a Whole will be drawn into snug engagement.
Having now indicated in a general way the nature and purpose of this invention, I will proceed to a detailed description thereof with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. l is a perspective view of a gutter hanger embodying this invention,
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a double bea-d gutter with the hanger shown in Figure l in place.
Fig. 3 is a sectional View on line 3 3, Figure 2.
Fig. 4 is a side View of the subject of Figure 2, in the direction of the arrow 4, Figure 2.
Figs. 5 and 6 are perspective views of modified forms of the engaging ends of the strap.
Referring more particularly to Figure l, the hanger comprises a bridge portion a, bead engaging portions b, b, a band portion c and an end portion d, the end portion d being slotted as at e for the reception of the end portion c and at its free end being bent outwardly at an angle as shown at f.
The bridge portion a may be of any desired shaped in cross section, and may be, for example, as shown in Figure 3, of substantially channel section and provided with a reinforcing rib g. A member h is pivotally secured to the bridge member and is adapted to be secured to the roof of a building, as by nailing, for the support of the hanger.
The bead engaging portions b, o are formed as shown in Fig. l, andy are slotted as at i, z' to promote ease in conforming them to the beads of the gutter. At the juncture of the bead engaging portions with the'band c and end portion d, the material of the hanger is bent or flared in- (Cl. 10S-29) wardly at its edges, as shown at j, j, Figures 1 and 4.
Referring now to Figures 5 and 6, the modification shown in Figure 5 comprises provision for the end of the band portion c to engage in the slot z" in the bead engaging portion b having a free end portion d; while the modication shown in Figure 6 comprises the formation of a boss Ic at the free end of end portion d, adjacent to the slot e', by distorting or bending outwardly the body of the end portion instead of bending or distorting the end as described with reference to Figure l.
In use the hanger is laid on a gutter with the bridge portion g between the beads, which will place the bead engaging portions b, b on the beads. The bridge portion will act to brace the gutter. The bead engaging portion opposite to end portion d is then conformed to the bead, its conformance being facilitated by the inwardly fiared portions j, y" at the junction of the bead engaging portion with the band c.
The band c is then passed beneath the gutter and through slot e in end portion d. The band is then bent downwardly and drawn up tight against the under side of the gutter. As the band c is drawn up, it forces the end portion d toward the gutter and, acting on the outwardly turned end f, forces the lower portion of the adjacent bead engaging portion up into conformance with the bead, conformance being facilitated by the inwardly flared portions at the juncture of the bead engaging portion and the end portion d.
In the modification shown in Figure 6 the boss 7c operates as does the outwardly bent end f, while in the modification shown in Figure 5 the inwardly flared portions y', a' facilitate conformance of the bead engaging portion on drawing up of the band portion through slot i.
What I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
l. A gutter hanger for double bead gutter comprising, in combination, a strap including a bridge, gutter bead engaging portions at opposite ends of the bridge, a band extending from one of the bead engaging portions and a slotted end portion adapted for interengagement with the band joined to the other bead engaging portion, the end portion being distorted outwardly adjacent the slot therein.
2. A gutter hanger for double bead gutter comprising, in combination, a strap including a bridge, gutter bead engaging portions at opposite ends of the bridge, a band extending from one of the bead engaging portions and a slotted end portion adapted for interengagement with the band joined to the other bead engaging portion, the end portion being distorted outwardly adjacent its free end and the hanger being ared inwardly adjacent its edges at the juncture of the bead engaging portions and the band and end portion respectively.
3. A gutter hanger for double bead gutter comprising, in combination, a. strap including al bridge, gutter bead engaging portions at opposite ends of the bridge, a band extending from one of the bead engaging portions and a slotted end portion adapted for interengagement with the band joined to the other bead engaging portion,
the hanger at the juncture of the end portion with the bead engaging portion being ared inwardly and the end portion being distorted outwardly between the slot therein and its free end.
4. A gutter hanger for double bead gutter comprising, in combination, a, strap including a bridge, gutter bead engaging portions at opposite ends of the bridge, a band extending from one of the bead engaging portions and a slotted end portion adapted for interengagement with the band joined to the other bead engaging portion, the end portion being distorted outwardly between the slot therein and its free end.
