WESLEY B. GARVER AND EDWARD VARIAN, OF PHILADELPHIA, PA.
FRAME FOR CANOPIES,
AWNINGS, AND TENTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,911, dated June 6, 1882.
Application filed February 4, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, \VEsLEY B. GARVER and EDWARD VARIAN, both citizens of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Frames for Canopies, Awnings, and Tents, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a top or planview of the frame for canopies, &c., embodying our invention, a portion thereof being broken away. Fig. 2is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a section of a detached part enlarged.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Our invention relates to improvements in the frames for canopies, &c., the subject-matter of the Letters Patent No. 246,118, granted August 23, 1881, the present invention consisting of means whereby the frame may be easily set up and connected and afterward readily taken down,-and when set up it may be adjusted relatively to the height of steps, pavements, sidewalks, and streets, irregular places, &c., as will be hereinafter set forth.
Referring to the drawing A represents the adjustable uprights or standards of the frame, consisting of the parts ab, fitted to each other telescopically, the sleeves c, and set screws d.
B represents longitudinally-extendin g horizontal beams, which are connected to couplings O at the top of the standards A; and B represents similar beams, which are c..-nnected to couplings G at the center of the cross-beams G-of the top of the standards.
D represents the ridge-poles, which, connected to the couplings 0', are supported by king posts E, risin g from and connected to the central couplings, C; and F represents rafters, whose ends are fitted to theridge-pole and the side beams, B. The couplings are formed with sockets e, on which the ends of one set of the beams B B and ridge-poles D are rested. Then sleeves G, fitted on said beams, are slipped over the sockets, thevsurface of the latter being tapering or conical, so
that the sleeves may be tightened on the sockets, and the beams and poles and couplings securely clamped, thus preventing vertical displacement of the beams and poles. Through the beams and sockets are passed pins or plugs H which may, however, be connected to the beams and project into openings in the sockets, or vice versa, by which means longitudinal displacement of the beams is prevented and the strength of the frame increased. The couplings have connected to them on the side opposite to the sockets e knuckle-joints J, to which the other set of the beams B B and ridge-poles D are pivoted. This permits said set to be raised and lowered and moved laterally, whereby either end or section of the frame may be adjusted relatively to steps and different heights of localities where the frames are employed, irregular places, &c.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The standards and horizontal beams, in
combination with the couplings, which are joints J to the horizontal beams and the couplings, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. I v
4. The standards, horizontal beams, ridgepoles, couplings, knuckle-joints, and kingposts, combined and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
