CHIMNEY-TOP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 329,993, dated November 10, 1885.
Application filed June 6, 1884. Serial No. 134,055. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, IRVING BARKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Braidwood, in the county of \Vill and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chimney-Tops, which are fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of a chimney with my improved cap, shown in end view, and provided with a top, b. Fig. 2 shows the same provided with a top, b. Fig. 3 is an end view of said part b. Fig. 4 is a side view of the part b. Fig. 5 is-a perspective view of the end piece, A. Fig. 6 is the part b in perspective. Fig. 7 is the side a in perspective. Fig. 8 shows the upper edges of the sides a united by spurs z, the dotted outlines show ing the positions the lower parts may assume. Fig. 9 shows the upper part of one of the parts a in perspective, with the spurs t. Fig. 10 shows the parts a with shoulders a and the upper part removed. Fig. 11 shows the parts a provided with parts a and the upper part removed.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts.
The object of my invention is to construct a chimney-top that shall be adjustable to varying and irregular-sized chimneys without any special fitting, and be securely held in its place by frictional contact and protect the top bricks from the action of the weather.
In the drawings, a represents a metal plate, preferably cast, of which there are two for a chimney. Said parts or sides a are set so that the flange 9 shall lie against the edge of the top bricks, as shown, and is held in place by a bolt, e.
To provide for varying widths of chimneys, tops b b are provided. The tops b have four spurs, 0, preferably cast with them, which fit into notches c in the top edge of the sides a. Notches d are also provided, to fit to the spurs d, of which there are only two for the cap b; but these are not essential, as the spurs d may be placed so as to fit into the notches c.
To give the sides a the most desirable position, either one of the tops b or b may be used, after which the nuts of the bolts 0 are tightened. This causes the flanges g to press against the sides of the chimney and hold their place by frictional contact, as also the tops b or b by the pressure of the sides against their spurs c or d. Said parts b or b may also be dispensed with and one of the sides or provided with spurs t on both of its sides, between which the corresponding edge of the other side is held. as shown in Fig. 8. The dotted outlines of the sides a indicate the position said parts may assume either without or with the tops b or b.
To cover the top of the chimney under the arch of the sides a a, pieces A, with flange g and spurs h, are placed so that said spursh shall be on the inside of the bolt e, by which said pieces A are held in place.
By this construction the top of a chimney is completely protected against the weather, which, when not so protected, will soon be destroyed. In addition to this the opening of the chimney is covered against rain, snow, and downward currents of air.
Said parts may all be readily removed by simply loosening the nuts of the bolts 6, when it may be necessary to clean the chimney.
When, for the sake of architectural effect or other reasons, the arched top for the chimney is not desired, the sides a may be constructed, as shown in Figs. 10 and 11, either with shoulders a or inside spurs, a, which in either case will press downward upon the bolt 6, and which, in its rigid position, will tend to hold the parts 5 in position or from tilting from the contact-surfaces of the chimney, as they otherwise would.
In place of the upper pin, 1', (shown in Fig. 9,) may be a slat or ridge-piece to cover the joint.
What I claim is- I An adjustable chimney-cap having sides a, formed so as to lie upon the walls of the chimney, and provided on their exterior edge with a dependent flange, and rising upward from the interior edge of said part of the side, in combination with bolts 6, substantially as specified.
IRVING BARKER.
