Patented June 16, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,286,562 I HANGER FOR ooNDUo'ronflPEs James Merryweather, Greencastle, Ind. A plication Allin 29, 1941, Serial No. 390,972
1 Claim.
This invention relates to hangers designed primarily for use in attaching conductor pipes or down-spouts to the walls of buildings.
An object of the invention is to provide a hanger which can be attached to a wall by the use of an ordinary wire nail of proper size, it being possible readily to adjust the hanger angularly so as to fit properly about the downspout or conductor pipe whether placed in a vertical, horizontal or inclined position.
The hooks and yokes heretofore provided for the purpose of attaching pipes and spouts to walls have usually been objectionable because, under some conditions, it has been diificult to properly place them so as to hold inclined portions of pipes to the wall. Frequently it has been necessary to twist the hangers and this has resulted in breakage. Where special attaching means have been employed various objections have been encountered, such as distortion of the parts resulting in inability to properly assemble them.
An object of the present invention is to provide a hanger which can be placed at any necessary angle to properly straddle the conductor n pipe or spout and which can be attached to a wall of wood, concrete or masonry wherever found desirable simply by utilizing a Wire nail of the necessary size and strength.
A further object is to provide a hanger which i can be easily adjusted to the proper angle after it has been attached to its supporting wall.
A still further object is to provide a hanger with which can be used various types of straps or the like for embracing the engaged pipe or spout.
Another object is to provide a hanger which can be made at less cost than the usual hangers because it requires less material.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
In the accompanying drawing the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawing Figure 1 is a plan view of the hanger, the parts engaged thereby being shown in section.
Figure 2 is a central vertical section through the structure shown in Figure 1, said section being taken on the line 22, Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of the hanger and its attaching means, the same being shown by full lines and broken lines in different positions to which it can be adjusted, a portion of the structure to which the hanger is attached being shown in elevation.
Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4, Figure 1.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, l designates a yoke which can be of any desired size and shape to meet the requirements and with which can be used a retaining strap 2 of any suitable construction. These parts I and 2 are proportioned to tightly embrace a conductor pipe or down-spout a portion of which has been indicated at P in Figures 1 and 2.
At a point between its ends the yoke I is formed with an integral body 3 which is preferably, though not necessarily, circular in cross-section. This body gradually increases in diameter away from the yoke so as to provide a broadened flat base 4.
A straight central opening 5 of uniform diameter is extended through the body I and is of such size as to receive a wire nail 6 of requisite strength whereby the yoke is to be attached to a supporting structure S which can be of wood, masonry, etc.
In practice the yoke is positioned on the structure S at a point where the conductor pipe or down-spout is to be located. The base 4 will of course engage said structure and while the yoke is in this position, a nail 6 is inserted into the opening 5 and driven tightly into the structure S until the head I of the nail comes firmly against the adjacent end of the body 3. As the opening 5 is of a diameter slightly greater than that of the nail and is of the same size throughout its length, it will be apparent that when the nail is inserted thereinto it will be supported and guided by the body 3 and held in proper position to be fdriven straight into the supporting structure S.
The yoke l is then adjusted angularly until it is brought into proper position to straddle the conductor pipe or spout P after which said pipe or spout is fastened to the yoke in the usual or any preferred manner. Should the nail 6 become bent so that it could not be used, all that would be necessary would be to withdraw the nail and insert a new one. The yoke would not have to be discarded.
Importance is attached to the fact that, when the present, yoke is manufactured, it is not necessary to provide it with a projecting tongue or ing operation, it will quickly flatten out when 10 brought against the adjacent end of thebody 3.
Obviously the device is very cheap to manufacture as compared with other hangers of the same nature and is also advantageous because,
of the ease with which it can be mounted and 15 the readiness with which it can bead-justed' angularly to meet the requirements.
What is claimed is:
A hanger of the type described includinga yoke having an integral body between its ends, one end of the body providing a support-engaging surface and the other end of the body constituting a surface for engagement by the head of a nail, there being a straight nail-receiving opening of uniform diameter extending through the body from one end to the other, and a nail having a head, said nail being proportioned for insertion into the opening for engagement at one end with the surface of the supportengaged by the end of the body and for positioning its head between the terminals of the yoke and away from the yoke and body for engagement by a driving tool, the wall of the opening constituting means for supporting the inserted nail in position against the surface-of the support and for guiding said nail while being, driven into the support.
