Dec. 28, 1943. 'rr ETAL 2,337,665
SUPPORT Filed April 10, 1942 FIGJ N V5 N TORS n. x. xurr assummu ATTORNEY "provided with inwardly bent lS-li of the Patented Dec. 28, 1943 v Reinhold K. Klatt,
Baltimore, Md.,
Towson, and assignors to Sloan s. Sheri-ill, Western Electric Company, Incorporated, New York, N. Y., a cornotation of New York Application April 10, 1942, Serial No. 438,448 2 Claims. (01. 248-315) The invention relates to supports and, more fiagrticularly, to supports for electric fans or the The large oscillating electric fans in general use in large factory upon large heavy floor bases that are not very stable. In addition to being a source of noise ,and inefliciency due to their permitting vibration of the fan, these large floor bases are disadvantageous in that they require' considerable valuable floor space.
An object of this invention is to provide supports for electric fans or the like and, more particularly, to provide supports for supporting electric fans and the like upon walls or columns.
A support for electric fans or the like embodying the invention comprises a V-shaped frame, means affixed to the frame at'the apex thereof for engagement with a device to be supported by the frame, and means for securing the extremities of the arms of the frame to a supporting member.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of one embodiment thereof, when read. conjuction with the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a side view of a suppo a wall for holding an electric fan;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the support;
Fig. 3 is a rear view of the support with a portion thereof broken away; and
Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the support attached to a column.
In the particular embodiment of the invention disclosed in the accompanying drawing, a V- shaped frame It! consisting of arms ll-H has an apex portion l2 to which is welded a cylindrical, centrally apertured socket M. The frame I is preferably constructed of pressed sheet steel, but may be made of any material having the rigidity requisite for the purpose to which the frame is put. I
The arms ll-H decrease in width from their extremities l5-l5 toward the apex l2. The socket I4 is adapted to retain a hub l6 which is secured to an electric fan la. The fan l8 may oscillating type shown stationary type (not shown). A set screw l8 rigidly positions the hub I6 within the socket I. Since the hub 46 and socket l4 will vary in size with different fans, the frame l0 may be conveniently shaped by bending the apex portion l2 about the socket M. The armsll-ll are flanges -20, which perform the dual function of increasing the longitudinal rigidity of the arms ll-ll and providing a support to which the socket ll may be welded.
Flanges 2l-2I are formed on the extremities Il-II for t secured to buildings are usually mounted,
in Fig. 1 or of a port upon a supporting wall or column. In the particular embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the flanges. 2l-2I are bent inwardlyand have a plurality of apertures 22-22 formed therein through which bolts 24-24 extend to secure the frame l0 to a wall 25.
Fig. 4 discloses an arrangement for mounting the support upon a column 26. In this arrangement the inside of the flanges 2l-2l partially encircle flange portions 28-28 of the column 26. Nuts 29-29 threaded 'on a bolt 30 passing through holes drilled in the arms I l-l I force the arms inwardly aga" t the flange portions 28-28 and securely mount the frame Ill thereon. A sleeve 3| surroundingthe bolt 30 prevents the nuts 29-29 from being tightened so "as to deform the arms "-1 I. This method of attaching the bracket to a metal column eliminates the necessity of drilling the column, which latter operation is costly and weakens the column.
The support or bracket hereinabove described not onlyis pleasing in'appearance and light in weight, but is cheap and easy to manufacture. It greatly reduces the vibration of the fan thus increasing the efliciency of the fan and decreasing the noise due to vibration. A feature of the present invention especially desirable in factory buildings where floor space is valuable, is that will? arms of the frame it occupies no floor space whatsoever. The same support may be mounted either upon a wall or upon a column merely by varying the manner of securing the support.
What is claimed is:
1. A support for electric fans or ,other heavy articles, which comprises a V-shaped frame, the being wider at the extremities than at the apex thereof, inwardly bent reinforcing flanges extending longitudinally along the arms, transverse supporting flanges on the extremities of the arms, means for removably securing the supporting flanges to a supporting member, and a centrally apertured metal member welded to the apex of the frame and to the reinforcing flanges to form a socket designed to be engaged by a device to be supported.
2.. A support for electric fans or'other heavy articles, which comprises a V-shaped frame having a semicircular apex, a centrally apertured,
cylindrical metal member welded within the apex to form a socket designed to be engaged by a device to be supported, transverse supporting flanges formed on the extremities of the arms of the frame for partially encircling flanges of a metal column, said arms having aligned apertures therein, and a bolt inserted through the apertures for forcing the arms into close frictional engagement with the column to rigidly but removably secure the support upon the column.
