SUPPORTING BRACKET Filed May 6, 1936 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Inv enlor ZQMWA Patented Nov. 3, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE surroa'rmo muicim'r Joseph Weiss, Hutchinson, Kans. Application May a, 1936, Serial No. ram 4 Claims. (01. 248-38) The present invention relates to a supporting bracket which is designated for various purposes and may be usedin various different manners. .I do not desire to be limited to any particular use in which this bracket may be used. For the purposes of exemplification I have shown a few uses in the accompanying drawings- An important object of the invention is to provide a supporting bracket of this nature which is exceedingly simple in its construction, inex pensive to manufacture, strong and durable, thoroughly efilcient and reliable in use, easy to manipulate, and otherwise thoroughly adapted for the purposes for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds,

seen that the main frame is of an inverted U- the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:-

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bracket embodying the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is a front elevation thereof showing double braces.

Figure 3 is a top plan view thereof.

Figure 4 is a side elevation of the bracket showing the same used as a fishing post support.

Figure 5 is a similar view showing the same used as a tent spike.

Figure 6 is a similar view showing the same used as a hose nozzle support.

Figure 'l is a perspective view of the device itself showing a single brace. Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be shaped construction to provide legs 5, the lower ends of which are pointed as at "I, and the upper ends of which are connected by an introvert bight ,1.

Intermediate portions of the legs Bare connected "by a forwardly extending arcuate member 8 disposed in a plane at right angles to the o ,the legs 5. Brace members 9 extend fromthe-legs 5 at the juncture of the member 8 therewith and incline upwardly and on a different side therefrom and merge into an upwardly bowed bight connection iii. The braces or props 9 are connected with the legs 5 by members il.

Figure '7 shows the use of a single brace 9, which is connected with one of the legs 5 by the member ii.

I have laid particular attention on the specific structure and in Figures 4, 5 and 6, I have shown exemplifications of the utility thereof. In Figure 4, I have shown how a fishing pole may be supported. In Figure 5, I have shown how the tent strut lines may be anchored. In Figure 6, I have shown how a hose nozzle may be mounted in this holder. Obviously, there are various other uses and obviously other modifications may be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

' What is claimed is:.-

1. A device of the class described comprising a ground penetrating member of inverted U-shaped formation provided with legs and a bight, the bight being of an intro arcuate formation and ground engaging members disposed angularly from opposite sides of the ground penetrating member for limiting the penetrating movement thereof, one of said ground engaging .members being disposed at right angles to the penetrating member and the other of said ground engaging members being inclined for horizontal disposition when the penetrating member is placed in an inclined position.

2. A device of the class described comprising a ground penetrating member of inverted U- shaped formation provided with legs and a bight, the bight being of an intro arcuate formation and looped ground engaging members disposed angularly from opposite sides of the ground penetrating member for limiting penetrating movement thereof, one of said ground engaging memangles to the plane of the legs, props extending from the legs adjacent the juncture of the member with the legs on the opposite sides thereof and inclining upwardly and terminating in a curved bight portion connection disposed substantially parallel to said first named bight.

4. A device of the class described comprising a ground penetrating member of inverted U- shaped formation provided with legs and a bight. the bight being of an intro arcuate formation, a member connecting intermediate portions of the legs, said member being arcuate and projecting forwardly thereof in a plane substantially at right angles to the plane of the legs, props extending from the legs adjacent the juncture of the member with the legs on the opposite sides thereof and inclining upwardly and terminating in a curved bight portion connection disposed parallel with the first named bight, and-brace members connecting the props with the legs below the respective bights.
