2 Claims.
This invention relates to a swinging sign support, the general object of the invention being to provide a non-sagging and non-squeaking support for the sign and one which can be readily put in place to support a sign from an up right.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of several parts, to be herein- I after fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims. 1
In describing the invention in detail, refe ence will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevation with parts in section.
Fig. 2 is a section on line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
In this drawing, the numeral I indicates a hollow post and the numeral 2 indicates a substantially hairpin-shaped member having its upper limb sloping upwardly towards the post with the extremity of this limb passing through two aligned holes in the top of the post, the free end of the limb beingthreaded to receive a nut 3, a washer 4 being placed on the limb and abutting the outer part of the post, the washer being held in place by upsetting portions of the limb as shown at 5. The other or lower limb is substantially straight and enters one hole in the post at a point spaced an appreciable distance from the aligned holes with its end abutting the portion of the inner wall of the post as shown in Fig. 1. A strap of suitable material, shown at 6 has its ends bent into substantially inverted U-shape as shown at l, the limbs of these U-shaped parts being resilient and provided with holes through which the lower limb of the member 2. passes. Washers 8 are placed on the lower limb and abut the outer limbs of the U-shaped members 1 and adjacent said Washers, the lower limb of the member 2 is crimped to form projections 9 which hold the washers against the outer limbs of the members I as shown in Fig. 1 and more particularly in Fig. 3. By having the washers and the projections 9 holding the free or outer limbs of the members 7 under slight compression. squeaking noises are prevented. The strap 6 is suitably fastened to an angle-iron or the like shown at l0 and the sign I is fastened to this member ID.
Thus, it will be seen that I have provided a simple support for supporting a sign to the post and one which prevents squeaking or other noises and is non-sagging.
It is'thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention ll 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 claims.
I claim: v
1. In combination with a tubular post and an element to be suspended, a substantially hairpin-shaped supporting member having one end passing through the post and. fastened thereto and its other end passing through one wall of the post and contacting an opposite wall, and means for suspending the element from the lower limb of said hairpin-shaped member.
2. In combination with a tubular post and an element to be suspended, a substantially hairpin-shaped member having its upper limb passing through the post adjacent the top thereof and fastened to the post, the lower limb passing through a hole in one wall of the post and abutting the portion of the opposite inner wall, a member having its ends bent into substantially inverted U-shape through which the lower limb passes, washers on the lower limb engaging the" outer limbs of the U-shaped members and hold-' ing the same under pressure, projections on the lower limb of the hairpin-shaped member for holding the washers in place, and means for at- U-shaped end portions.
WILLIAM H. MARTIN.
