THERMOMETERS Henry Jungjohann, Davenport, Iowa Application February 2, 1948, Serial No. 5,812
2 Claims. 1
My present invention relates to an improved means for supporting a thermometer outside of a window in a position to be observed from inside of the house and yet be capable of being turned away so as not to interfere with the installation or removal of storm windows and screens. This structure is in the nature of an improvement upon the structure disclosed in my prior application, Serial No. 687,828, filed August 2, 1946.
The primary object of this invention is the provision of an adjustable bracket which has the capability of being adjusted to fit most thermometers of standard construction. Other objects of this invention are the provision of apparatus for the purpose indicated which can readily be moved out of the way of a storm window or screen, whenever desired; the provision of apparatus of the character indicated which is adjustable with reference to a horizontal or vertical plane; the provision of an apparatus for the purpose indicated which is easily applied; and such further objects, advantages, and capabilities as will hereafter appear and as are inherent in the construction disclosed herein. My invention further resides in the combination, construction, and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings and, while I have shown therein what is now regarded as the preferred embodiment of this invention, I desire the same to be understood as illustrative only and not to be interpreted in a limiting sense.
In the drawings annexed hereto and forming a part hereof,
Fig. 1 is an elevational of the bracket of this invention with a thermometer attached thereto and shown in edge view;
Fig. 2 is an edge view of a thermometer with a bracket attached thereto but without the supporting arm;
Fig. 3 is a view of the structure shown in Fig. 2, turned ninety degrees (90) to show the back of the thermometer and the capability of adjustment of the bracket;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view, in section, taken substantially along the plane indicated by the line d-, Fig. l; and
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the bracket and thermometer, with parts of a window screen and casing shown fragmentarily, the bracket being partly broken away.
Reference will now be made in greater detail to the annexed drawings for a more complete description of this invention. A right-angled bracket i for attachment to a window casing is provided with a hole 2 for the reception of a screw by means of which the bracket may be attached to the casing. This bracket has, also, an arcuate slot 3 through which a screw is passed, as shown in Fig. 5. The right-angled arm of this bracket has a supporting arm l attached thereto by means of a bolt 5 which is surrounded by a coiled spring 6 intended to hold the end of the arm 4 under tension and keep it in adjusted position, when it has turned about the' bolt 5, as shown in Fig. 5. An adjustable bracket 7 is connected to the second end of the supporting arm d by a bolt 8 which passes through a loop 9 of the bracket 7 and the end of the arm 4.
The bracket 1 comprises the main part, in which the loop 9 is formed, and a pair of extensions H} which are adjustably secured to the main part by means of bolts l I which can be tightened up to hold the extensions ID in adjusted position with relation to the main part of the bracket, after proper adjustment has been secured. The angled ends 12 of the extensions I0 are secured by means of bolts I3 to ears [4 formed at the two ends of the thermometer I5.
It is clear from Fig. 5 that the supporting arm 4 may be turned about the bolt 5 as a pivot to bring the thermometer opposite the window for easy reading or turn it away therefrom so that a screen or storm window can easily be put in place or removed without danger of injury to the thermometer.
It is of course understood that the specific description of structure set forth above may be departed from without departing from the spirit of this invention as set forth herein and as defined by the appended claims.
Having now described my invention, I claim:
I. A thermometer-supporting means comprising an angular bracket, a supporting arm pivotally connected thereto on a substantially vertical pivot whereon it may be swung in a horizontal plane, and a second bracket connected to the arm to swing in a horizontal direction, said second bracket comprising a plurality of parts longitudinally adjustable with relation to each other to regulate the length of the second bracket in accordance with the length of the thermometer to which the bracket is to be connected, an intermediate part of the second bracket being slidably connected to the end parts, thereof whereby to make possible the adjustment of the length of the second bracket.
2. A thermometer-supporting means comprising an angular bracket, a supporting arm pivotally connected thereto, and a second bracket of the second bracket being slidably connected to the end parts thereof whereby to make possible the adjustment of the length of the second bracket.
