` DEVICE FOR USE IN SOLDERING OR MAKING EAVES-TRVOUGHS.
ESPECIPATION forming part of Letters Patent No.316,813v, dated April 28, 1885.
Application filed December 4, 1884.
Be it known that I, ROBERT F. OBRIEN, av
- citizen of the United States, residing atBoon- Vvil1e,in the State of Missouri,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Use in Soldering or Making Eaves-Troughs;
' and I do declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a .part of this specification.
This invention has relation toimprovements in troughs for making sheet-metal hanging gutters or eaves-troughs; and it consists in the construction,combination, and novel arrangement of devices, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.
. In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of references indicate corresponding parts in the several iigures, Figure 1 is a representation of a side elevation of my invention, showing the frame partly in longitudinal section and partly brokenaway, with a section of an eaves -trough in posi tion. Fig. 2 is aplan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a crosssectional view of the frame, showing a section of a trough in position. Fig. 4 is a view of one of the transverse bridges for supporting the sections of trough While being connected, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the spring-actuated clamps.
Referring to the said drawings by letter, a indicates a trough-shaped frame, which may be of any suitable length, having a fixed bottom and longitudinal vertically fixed side walls, lA A. This frame is preferably formed of wood, and the bottom thereof is provided at suitable intervals on its upper side with transverse grooves, which communicate, respectively, with diametrically-arranged vertical grooves b in the inner sidewalls of the said -trough-frame for the reception of removable metallic bridge-pieces B, adapted to engage the sections of the hanger-trough while it is being soldered or otherwise connected. The inner or upper edge of these bridgepieces are (No model.)
semicircular or of a contour to snugly engage the under or convex side of an eaves-trough when pressure is brought upon the latter, as
tion of the bridge-pieces are more fully shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings.
To the outer side of the vertical lateral wall A of the frame are successively hinged hook-clamps D', which are designed to extend above the upper horizontal edge of the said wall, and their curved portions E clamp over the tubular fianged edge of the eaves trough when placed in the said frame,the said tubular flange engaging the upper edge of the said wall. The opposite wall, A', of the frame a is provided at suitable intervals with vertical apertures or recesses C, for the passage of the spring-actuated clamps D. The hooks or horizontal arms d of these clamps D extend inwardly toj engage one edge of the eavestrough, the hinged hooks engaging the opposite or tubular edge thereof, as more fully shown in Fig. 3.
The spring-actuated hook'clamps are pro- 'vided on their outer sides, near their upper ends, with offset shoulders e, which are designed to engage the upper edge of the said side Wall of the trough-frame when they are not in use. The said walls may be provided with outward1y-inclined lugs E, or other suitable devices for receiving the shoulder of the said hook.
In the present illustration of my invention I have shown spiral springs G arranged horizontally beneath the bottoni of the troughframe, and having loops H, connecting with the hook bolts or clamps D by means of alink, F; but I do not wish to confine myself to this form of spring, as various kinds of springs may be used without departing from the spirit of my invention.
It will be readily understood that this device does not form the sections of the trough, but is designed to hold thesections while they are being united.
The operation is as follows: The hinged hooks being thrown down from the upper edge of the wall to which they are attached,and the spring-actuated clamp-hooks raised so as to will be presently explained. The construe` have their outer shoulders engage the lugs or upper edges of the vertical Wall adjacent tov the said spring-clamps, the sections of eavestrough to be connected are made to slightly 5 overlap each other at their meeting ends,after which they are placed in the trough a with their convex sides engaging the semicircnlar edges ofthe bridge-pieces. The hingedclam ps are then turned up over the tubulananged [o edge of the eaves-trough sections, which engage the upper edge of one of the side Walls, as shown, and the springactuated clamps disengaged from the upper` edge of the opposite wall of the said frame a,When the connectingr 5 joints of the sections will be firmly pressed'td gether to be soldered or otherwise united. The operation is both rapid and effective,and sections of eaves-trough may be connected with but little experience on the part of the operator.
Having described this invention, what l claim is 1. The combination,with the main frame,of the hook-clamps hinged to one of the side 2 5 walls thereof and the spring-actuated vertical clamps arranged in the opposite side wall of the said frame, substantially as specified.
2. In a device for forming eaves-troughs,.the
coinbination,with the main frame,having one of its side walls provided with krecesses C, of 3o the springs G', having the loops H, the clamps D, and links connecting the clamp with the spring, substantially as specified.
8. In .a device for forming eaves-troughs,the combinationmiththemainirame,ofthespring 35 actuated clamps having a shoulder, e, adapted to engage the upper edge of one of the side `Walls of the trough or frame and hold the Same when not in use, substantially as specified.
4. The described device for clamping eavesfN 4o troughs While being united, consisting of the frame A, having its inner bottoni and side Walls g'rooved to receive the bridge-pieces B, the hook-clamps hinged to one of the side walls and adapted to beturned up over the horizont-al edge thereof, and vthe spring-actuated clamps arranged in the opposite side Wall and adapted to engage the upper edge of the said wall to hold the said clamps when not in use, substantially as specifiedn In testimony whereof I ami; mysignaturein presence of two Witnesses.
