HANGER BRACKET FOR SOLDER SPOOLS Filed Dec. 28, 1964 6 Z0 T fm @WWW WW .U u
United States Patent O 3,279,720 HANGER BRACKET FOR SOLDER SPOOLS Jim C. Garrett, 8060 Salt Lake Ave., Inglewood, Calif. Filed Dec. 28, 1964, Ser. No. 421,505 4 Claims. (Cl. 242-129.6)
This invention relates to a hanger bracket for holding a spool of solder in position for facile removal of solder wire wound thereon.
An object of the present invention is to provide a hanger bracket of the character indicated that holds a solder spool from which solder wire may be removed without kinking or twisting and which renders the use of such wire handy, convenient and time-saving.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hanger bracket, as above characterized, which is easy to mount in operative position as well as readily movable on a support for most convenient use thereof.
A further object of the invention is to provide a hanger bracket with spool mounting means that is readily applied and which lholds said means against accidental displacement during use.
This invention also has for its objects to provide such means that are positive in operation, convenient in use, easily installed in a working position and easily disconnected therefrom, economical of manufacture, relatively simple, and of general superiority and serviceability.
The above objects are realized in a hanger bracket for a spool of solder wire that has the form an inverted U, is provided with hanger hooks for engaging over a support bar, and spindle-engaging end portions on the legs of the bracket that hold said spindle and a spool of solder thereon in a manner that obviates accidental displacement during removal of solder wire from the spool. The bracket is of simpl'ied form and easy manufacture in that the same comprises three pieces of strap metal spotwelded together to provide the U-shape mentioned, two of said pieces being formed to have the hanger hooks above mentioned.
The invention also comprises novel details of construction and novel combinations and arrangements of parts, which will more fully appear in the course of the following description and which is based on the accompanying drawing. However, said drawing merely shows, and the following description merely describes, one embodiment of the present invention, which is given by way of illustration or example only.
In the drawing, like reference characters designate similar parts in the several views.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a hanger bracket for solder spools according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view as seen from the right side of FIG. l.
The hanger bracket that is illustrated comprises, generally, an inverted-shaped bracket frame 5 and a spindle 6 removably carried by said bracket for holding a spool 7 on which solder wire 8 is wound.
The bracket frame 5 comprises similar vertically extending leg members 9 that are each formed of a length of strap metal that, approximately midway of its ends, is provided with a twist 10 that divides the length of metal into a flat hanger portion 11 at the top and a ilat spoolholding portion 12 at the bottom, said portions 11 and 12 being normal to each other. The end of each hanger portion 11 is bent rearwardly and downwardly to provide a hook 13 that `defines a space 14 in which a support member 15 is received. The end of each portion 12 is "ice provided with a bayonet slot 16 in the edge thereof that is beneath the hook 13.
The bracket 5 also comprises a length of strap metal 17 that by spot welds or similar securing means 18 is secured to the hanger portions 11 of the leg members 9, there being a flatwise engagement of the ends of said strap 17 with the portions 11 which are coplanar, the leg members extending normally from the strap 17 and generally parallel, as shown. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the strap 17 is applied to the sides of the leg portions 11 that are opposite to the hanger hooks 13 and the openings of the bayonet slots 16.
The spaces 14 loosely receive the support member 15, the bracket 5, above described, being removably and adjustably secured to said member by thumb screws 19 or similar fasteners which are in threaded engagement with overlapped portions of the legs 9 and strap 17. It will be seen that the bracket thus provided has the leg portions 12 with the edges thereof facing front and back and that the space between said portions is greater than the space between the leg portions 11. It is in said greater space that the spool 7 is accommodated.
The spindle 6 comprises a rod 20 that, adjacent its ends, is provided with discs 21 that are staked in place and are spaced apart a distance somewhat greater than the distance between the outer faces of the leg portions 12. Said rod is received from the rear in the slots 16, to hang a spool 7 after said spool had been slipped onto the rod, as shown. The rods ends may be fitted with caps 22, if desired.
While the foregoing has illustrated and described what is now contemplated to be the best mode of carrying out the invention, the construction is, of course, subject to modification without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is not desired to restrict the invention to the particular form of construction illustrated and described, but to cover all modications that may fall within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described this invention, what is claimed and `desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A hanger bracket for solder spools comprising:
(a) a U-shaped bracket frame that is inverted in operative position and comprises depending legs and a connecting strap,
(b) rearwardly and `downwardly bent portions on the legs where the same are connected to the ends of the strap and constituting hanger hooks,
(c) screws extending through the joints between the legs and strap for clamping against a support member over which the hooks are engaged,
(d) the lower ends of the legs being provided with rearwardly open bayonet slots, and
(e) a spool-mounting spindle spanning between the legs and having its ends removably engaged in said slots.
2. A hanger bracket according to claim 1 in which the spindle ends, outside the legs, are provided with discs to limit endwise movement of the spindle in the bayonet slots.
3. A hanger bracket according to claim 1 in which each frame leg is formed of a metal strap with the ends having the hooks twisted relative to the ends having the bayonet slots and being in the same plane.
4. A hanger bracket frame comprising:
(a) a cross strap,
(b) two strap members having coplanar portions that are aixed to the ends of the strap,
(c) a rearwardly and downwardly bent hook portion extending from each strap member adjacent the cross strap, and
(d) each strap member being provided with a twist and the ends thereof beyond the twists being in parallel ilatwise relation to each other,
(e) a bayonet slot having a rearward directed opening provided in the rear edge of each said strap end, (f) a spool-holding spindle being supported by its ends in said bayonet slots.
