UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JEREMIAH W. LEEDS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
MEANS FOR ATTACHIMNG RAIN-SPOUTS TO BUILDINGS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,736, dated April 26, 1881, Application filed February 2S, 1881. (NO model.)
To all whom it may concern:
I Be it known that I, JEREMIAH W. LEEDS, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented `certain Improvements in Ran-Spouts and in Attaching the Same to Buildings,ot' which the Jfollowing is a specificati n.
The main object of my invention is to prevent the wetting of the wall of a building by water owing down the outside of a rain-water spout or conductor secured to said wall, a further object being to effect the secure attachment of the spout to the wall.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective viewof the adjoining ends of two sections of spout constructed and secured to a wall in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2, a transverse section on a somewhat larger scale; and Fig. 3, a view showing a modification of my invention. f
In Figs. 1 and 2, A represents part of the wall of a building, and B B sections of rainspout, to which, near their upperends, are secured, by soldering or otherwise, inclined plates D, having upwardly-bent portions a, adapted to be nailed to the wall A and to properly support the sections of spout thereon. The lower end of each section of spout is contracted and tits into the projecting portion b of the section beneath, so that each section is supported near the upper end by the plate D, and at the lower end by the section beneath, into which it lits. I have found that with spout-sections of theM ordina-ry length this method of supportis sufficient; but, if desired,
each section of' the spout may have two or more supporting-plates D. These plates D, in addition to their supporting duty, serve as deflectors to prevent water which flows down the outside of the spout from wetting the wall to which said spout is attached, the water being thrown outward and awayfrom the wall by said deiecting-plates. In the winter season, moreover, the accumulation of ice upon a leaky spout is confined to the section in which the leak happensto be, andthe tearing of the spout from its fastenings by the weight of an accumulation of ice upon the entire length of the spout is prevented.
Although I prefer to utilize the detlectingplates as a means of attaching the spout to the wall, the attachments may, if desired, be independent of the deecting plates or flan ges D, as shown in Fig. 3, for instance.
I claim as my invention- 1 ,The combination of a rainspout with de-` Heating-plates D secured thereto at intervals, as set forth. f
2. The combination of rain-spout sections B with detlecting-plates D secured thereto, and having vertical portions a, whereby they are attached to the wall of a building, as specied.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribin g witnesses. i
JEREMIAH W. LEEDS.
