L/flSfP/f 8. P4ZiL/RECK BY 3,34,755 Patented May 15, 1962 3,034,755 FIXTURE HANGER Joseph B. Pazoureck, 1612 NE. 19th, Oklahoma City, Okla. Filed Dec. 8, 1958, Ser. No. 778,830. 2 Claims. (Cl. 248201) This invention relates to a fixture hanger, and more particularly to a fixture hanger for use with bars or beams of T-shape.
The object of the invention is to provide fixture hangers which are adapted to be arranged in engagement with bars such as ceiling bars of a building whereby various types of fixtures such as light fixtures can be conveniently supported in the desired location or manner.
Another object of the invention is to provide a fixture hanger for use with a metal ceiling member or bar, wherein various types of light fixtures or the like can be conveniently supported and wherein the hanger of the present invention permits work to be done in a more safe manner and wherein lights can be supported economically and quickly as desired. 7 V g A further object of the invention is to provide a fixture hanger which is extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals are used to designate like parts throughout the same:
FIGURE 1 is an elevational View illustrating the fix ture hanger of the present invention.
FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the assembly of FIG- URE 1.
FIGURE 3 is an end elevational view of the assembly of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of one of the fixture hangers.
FIGURE 5 is a sectional view illustrating a modification.
FIGURE 6 is a view taken at right angles to the view shown in FIGURE 5.
FIGURE 7 is a perspective view of one of the hangers of FIGURES 5 and 6.
FIGURE 8 is a sectional view illustrating another modification.
Referring in detail to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGUES 1 through 4 of the drawings, the numeral 10 designates each of a plurality of spaced parallel horizontally disposed T-shaped bars or beams, and each of the bars 10 includes a vertically disposed section 11 and a horizontally disposed section 12. The numeral 13 indicates a horizontally disposed fixtures such as a light fixture which is arranged below the bars 10, and the fixture 13 may be of the type which is supported adjacent the ceiling of a building.
According to the present invention there is provided hangers which are indicated generally by the numeral 14, and the hangers 14 have the same construction and each includes a vertically disposed portion 15 which is arranged contiguous to one side of the vertically disposed section 11 of the bar 10. Each hanger 14 further includes a horizontally disposed upper flange 16 as well as spaced parallel vertically disposed fiaps 17 which are arranged on the opposite side of the portion 11 from the portion or section 15. The pair of flaps 17 are arranged on opposite sides of the flange 16. Each hanger 14 further includes a lower base which is indicated by the numeral 18, and the base 18 includes first and second offset surfaces 19 and 20. The surface 20 is provided with openings 21 whereby suitable securing elements such as screws 22 can be extended through the openings 21 and into engagement with the fixture 13 being supported.
Referring now to FIGURES 5, 6 and 7 of the drawings, there is illustrated a modification wherein the numerals 23 indicate T-shaped bars which each include a vertically disposed section 24 and a horizontally disposed section 25, and ceiling members 26 are arranged contiguous to the bottoms of the bars 23. The numeral 27 indicates the opposite side of the section 24 from the portion 29 so as to provide a firm support for the hanger.
The numeral 33 indicates horizontally disposed flanges on the upper ends of the hangers 27, and a horizontally disposed strip 34 extends across the flanges 33 and is secured thereto by securing elements 35, the securing elements 35 extending through openings 38 in'the flanges 33. The numeral 36 indicates a conventional outlet box which is adapted to be fastened in place below the strip 34 by means of securing elements 39, and electric wires 37 may be connected to the outlet box 36.
Referring now to FIGURE 8 of the drawings, there is illustrated a further modification wherein the numeral 40 indicates a T-bar which includes a vertically disposed section 41 and a horizontally disposed section 42, and the numeral 43 indicates a fixture hanger which is arranged in engagement with the bar 40. The hanger 43 includes a first vertically disposed portion 44 which is contiguous to the section 41, and the hanger 43 includes a horizontally disposed portion 47 which is contiguous to the horizontally disposed section 42 of the bar 4d. The hanger 43 further includes a vertically disposed third portion 48 which terminates in a lower horizontally disposed fourth portion 49 that is adapted to be secured to a fixture by means of a securing element 51. The hanger 43 is provided with a horizontally disposed flange 45 on its upper end and at least one vertically disposed flap 46 is arranged as shown in FIGURE 8.
From the foregoing, it is apparent that there has been provided hanger fixtures which are especially suitable for use in supporting various types of members or fixtures such as those shown in the drawings. In FIGURES 1 through 4 a fixture such as the light fixture 13 may be supported below the T-shaped bars 10 by means of the hangers 14. In FIGURE 4, the hanger 14 is shown by itself, and initially the portions 16 and 17 are in the same plane but after the hanger 14 is arranged contiguous to the bar 10, the portions 17 are bent down so as to provide the flaps 17 which help retain the hanger 14 in its proper position on the bar ltl. It is to be noted that flange 16 extends in a horizontal direction across the top of the bar 10, while the flaps 17 extend downwardly alongside the bar It so as to provide a firm clamping arrangement for the hanger on the bar. Furthermore, the hanger 14 includes the base 13 which has the offset surfaces 19 and 20 so that the surface 19 can extend across the horizontal section 12 of the bar 10, and whereby the surface 20 can be secured to the fixture 13 being supported by means of a securing element 22,.
In FIGURES 5 through 7 there is shown a modification wherein two of the hangers 27 are shown connected to bars 23 and the hangers 27 may be maintained secured in place by means of the securing elements 31. The hangers 27 have the portions 29 arranged on the opposite sides of the sections 24 from the portions 32 so that a clamping efiect is provided. The horizontal flanges 33 and the top of the hangers 27 have the strip 34 secured thereto, and an outlet box 36 may be suspended from beneath the strip 34 as shown in FIGURE 5 for example.
In FIGURE 8 the hanger 43 is shown connected to the bar 40, and the hanger 43 includes the horizontal portion 47 which is contiguous to the horizontal section 42 of the bar 40, and the hanger 43 further includes the horizontal portion 49 which is secured to the fixture 50 being supported by means of the securing element 51.
The T-shaped bars shown in the drawings may be bars arranged in ceilings of buildings of a suitable type or construction.
The parts can be made of any suitable material and in different shapes or sizes.
The fixture hanger of the present invention is especially suitable for use with a metal ceiling hanger iron and may be used with a fiberglass ceiling. It is adaptable for light fixtures of different sizes and can also be used for window lights of different types. It will insure that the parts will be supported in a safe and rigid manner and wherein there will be saving in labor and accidental movement of the parts will be prevented.
Minor changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to in actual practice, if desired.
