@FREE y "EL d( 2 STATES si"FFICET PATENT GEORGE M. HOAG, OE EVANSVILLE, INDIANA.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,692, dated May 13,1 1884.
Application filed September 24, 1883.
To @ZZ whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE M. Hons, a citizen of the United States, residing at Evans ville, in the State of Indiana, have invented certain new an d useful Improvements in Skeleton Arches for Support of Electric Vires, of which the following is a description.
This invention consists of a system of trussing to be used in connection with any skeleton arch for support of electric light or lights. The purpose of this trussing is to prevent the sagging or settling of the arch, and also, by combining certain of the tie or straining rods with cross-truss H, as shown by the annexed drawings, to hold said arch firmly in place on its supports. In connection with a system of crosstrussing, as shown by Figures 2 and 3, any tendency to sway laterally is prevented.
Fig. l is a front view showing a portion of an arch with the invention applied thereto. Figs. 2 and 3 show a system of cross-trussing to prevent lateral swaying.
(No model.)
B are posts for support of the arch. D is a side of the arch bolted to the posts at K. A and C are tie-rods to prevent sagging, whereof the tie-rod A, being secured to the sidesof the arch at E, passes over the ends of crosstie H, is secured at its lower end to the post B, and secures the arch against any tendency to sway on the post. L L are wood grounds bolted to the sides of the posts at the top, in order that sufficient width may be obtained for the arch at the spring thereof. P is a lamp secured to the top of the arch.
Vhat I claim as my invention is- Ihe combination, with the arch and the posts, of the truss-rods A and C, secured to the sides of the arch, and arranged as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 of the annexed drawings, and as described hereinbefore in this specification.
GEO. M. HOAG.
