SUPPORT Filed July 31, 1935 INVENTOR JOSEPH G- A was ATTOR Y Patented Dec. 8, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SUPPORT Joseph G. Alusas, Sharon Hill, Pa.
. Application July 31, 1935, Serial No. 33,983
3 Claims.
My invention relates to supports, more particularly to supports for attachment to window frames, and has for an object to provide an improved support of this kind.
A further object of my invention is to provide an improved support for potted plants or the like which may be readily attached to a window frame without use of separate fastening devices.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a support having water-retaining means for moistening the plants.
These and other objects are effected by my invention as will be apparent from the following description and claims taken in accordance with the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of support constructed in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a sectional view through a window frame having my improved support shown in Fig. 1 attached thereto;
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but illustrating another embodiment of my support;
Fig. 4 is a. plan view of the embodiment shown in Fi 3;
Fig. 5 is a detail view, inperspective, showing the attaching member for the support shown in Figs. 3 and 4;
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a second modification of the supporting member shown in Fig. 5; and,
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of my invention.
Referring now to Fig. 1 which shows a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral Ill indicates, generally, the support which is preferably, although not necessarily, stamped or drawn from a sheet material such as, for ex- 40 ample, steel or fibre. The support includes a substantially horizontal shelf portion I having a downwardly projecting member |2 at one end thereof. The latter includes one or more pointed spurs |3 which may be driven into the sill of 5 a window frame as shown in Fig. 2, which will be referred to hereinafter: The support l0 includes a raised reinforcing wall H which is continuous for defining a pool or reservoir |5,and which strengthens the shelf portion against bend- 50 ing.
As shown in Fig. 2, the support l0 may be readily attached to a conventional window frame having a sill l6 and a sash IT. The shelf portion ll of the support rests on the upper portion of ,5 the sill and the vertical member I2 is disposed intermediate the sash l1 and the outer surface IQ of the sill IS, the bedded in the sill points or spurs l3 being em- IB. In assembling the support Ill to the sill It, the sash I1 is raised and the supportarranged on the sill |6 at the desired location.
The vertical portion I2 is tapped by a suitable tool until the spurs l3 are completely embedded in the o uter surface l8 of the sill. The
window may then be closed. Usually there is sufficient clearance between a sash and sill'to accommodate the vertical member |2 of the support H! as the latter may be formed of thin material due to the strength added by the reinforcing wall I4. frames, the outer However, on very tight fitting surface |8 of the sill I6 may be chiseled out slightly to permit the sash l1 to close with the member |2 between it and the sill [5.
The plant pot, shown at I9, is disposed in the pool or reservoir I respect to the sill.
5 in overhanging relation with Downward movement of the shelf II is prevented by the spurs l3 which are embedded in the s 111. Water may be poured into the reservoir l5 for the plant, which water passes to the earth in the pot through the usual opening formed in the pots.
bottom of conventional flower In Figs. 3, 4, and 5, I have shown a support including a shelf 2| having a plurality of continuous walls 22 for defining a series of reservoirs 23. "is provided in this Accommodation for a plurality of pots l9 embodiment. A modified form of attachment to the window frame is shown including members 24 which engage openings 25 formed in the shelf 2| in latching relation. The member 24 includes a spur 26 which is driven into the sill IS in the manner heretofore described. A hooked latch 21 is formed in the member 24 at its shelf 2|.
upper end for supporting the As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the latches 21 pass through the openings 24 and engage the upper surface of the shelf 2|. The latter is prevented from becoming disengaged from the latches 21 by the sash I! which is engaged by Reference will now be had to Fig. '7 which discloses a support similar to the one shown in Figs. 1 and 2 but which is provided with reinforcing walls or ribs 3| extending longitudinally of the shelf portion Preferably, the ribs 3| connect with the wall I 4 and extend to adiacent the vertical member i 2. By providing the supp rt with these reinforcing ribs ii, I am enabled to form the support froma thinner material than is necessary for the support shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
From the foregoing, it will be apparent that I have provided a novel support for potted plants which may be readily attached to a window frame. The support may be produced economically and may be attached without the employment of a skilled mechanic and without the use of fastening devices other than those supplied as an element of the support. Furthermore, my support is so constructed and arranged that, as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and '7, it may be formed from a single sheet of material. Furthermore, my support provides a reservoir for supplying water to the plant or plants. I
While I have shown my invention in several forms, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but is susceptible of various other changes and modifications without departing from the spirit thereof, and I therefore desire that only such limitations shall be placed thereupon as are imposed by the prior art or as are set forth in the'appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. In a structure for supporting potted plants and the like for attachment to a window frame having a sill and a sash, said structure being formed entirely of a single piece of relatively light sheet material; the combination of a substantially horizontal support for disposition upon the window sill in overhanging relation, a vertical flange bent downwardly from an end of the horizontal support for disposition intermediate 01' the sill and the sash, means formed on the vertical flange of the aforesaid piece of sheet metal for piercing the outer surface of the window sill and for supporting the structure entirely at that end, and a completely circular raised portion formed in the horizontal support and defining an imperforate basin for supporting the plant, for retaining moisture and for stiflening the horizontal support.
2. A structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the circular portion comprises an annular impression formed in the sheet metal.
a. A structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein
