SHINGLING BRACKET.
No. 310,631. Patented Jan. 13, 1885..
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE \V. ADAMS, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
SHlNGLlNG-BRACKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,631, dated January 13, 1885.
Application filed May 10, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. ADAMS, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shingling-Brackets, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation representing my improved bracket in use; Fig. 2, an end elevation; and Fig. 3 a sectional isometric perspective View showing the plate and claw.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.
My invention relates to that class of brackets which are employed for supporting the staging-planks in shingling the roofs of buildings; and it consists in a novel construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed. by which a simpler, cheaper, and more effective device of this character is produced than is now in ordinary use.
The nature and operation of the improvement will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation, its extreme simplicity rendering an elaborate description unnecessary.
In the drawings, A represents the inclined body of the bracket, B the horizontal supporting-bar, G the vertical standard or post, and I) the link. The body consists of a straight bar provided at its upper end with the side braces, on an, and plate E, the plate being firmly riveted at m to the under side of the braces and body, as best seen in Fig. 3. The post 0 is jointed at its upper end, f, to the outer end of the bar B, its lower end standing in the notch a when the bracket is in use. The link D is jointed to the upper side of the bar B by the staple 7;, its lower end resting in a notch, h, in the under side of the body A, near the plate E, when the bracket is placed in the position shown in Fig. 1. The forward or inner end of the bar B is provided with an inclined claw, G, having the sharp downwardly-projecting spurs or points a. The plate E is provided with a series of V-shaped holes, y, arranged with their points nearest the outer or upper end of the plate; and there is also a sharp downwardly-projecting spur, I, on the lower end of the body A.
In the use of my improvement the plate 1') is pushed under a course of the shingle o and the lower end of the link D inserted in the notch h. The standard or post 0 is then raised into a perpendicular position and its lower end inserted in the notch e, causing the claw G to press on the shingle o and clamp or grasp the same firmly between the claw and plate E, after which the points. a and spur Z are driven into the shingle beneath them by hammering,respectively,on the claw and body A over the points and spur. If the staging is heavily loaded and additional security is required, a nail is driven into the shingle and roof-boards through one of the holes y, the holes being formed V-shaped to. enable the nail to center as the plate is drawn against it, thereby utilizing the entire strength of the nail to resist the downward pull of the bracket.
It will be obvious that the bracket may be readily folded for storage or transportation when not in use.
Having thus explained my invention, what I claim is 1. In a shingling-bracket, substantially such as described, the bar B,provided with the standard 0, link D, and. claw G, in combination with the body A, having the plate E and notches h z, substantially as set forth.
2. The improved shingling-bracket herein described, the same consisting of the body A, provided with the spur l, notches a h, and plate E, having the holes w, and the bar B. provided with the standard 0, link 1), and claw G, having the points a, all constructed, combined, and arranged to operate substantially as specified.
, GEORGE IV. ADAMS.
