SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,805, dated November 16, 1886.

Application filed January 7, 1886. Serial No. 187,936. (No model.)

To all whom it mayl concern: n

Be it known that I, J AMES A. GARR, a citizen ofthe United States,residing in the city and county of Camden, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fastenings for Water-Conductors, which improvement is fully 'set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a partial side elevation and partial vertical section 'of a fastening for water-conductors embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a front view thereof. Fig. 3 represents a perspective View of a detached portion.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspending partsin the several figures.

My invention consists of a device for fastening a water-conductor to a brickor stone wall, so constructed that the pin employed may be readily driven into the wall between the bricks or stone. I

Referring tov the drawings,-A representsa plate 4or strap formed of metal, one end whereof is formed with openings B, whereby it may be riveted to the water conductor, pipe, or spout C. In the plate is a longitudinally-extending slot, D, the opposite side walls of which are serrated, as at E, the teeth facing each other;,but, if desired, they may be bent outwardly, as shown by dotted lines, Fig. 1.

FV represents a pin, which is adaptedto be passed through the slot D and driven into the wall of the building to which the conductor is 5 attached.

It will be seen that, owing to the slot D, the pin may be driven into a brick 0r stone wall between the bricks or stones thereof, as may be most convenient to reach, and thus the fastening is adjustable to different sizes of bricks and stones and the location ofthe mortar beplate and conductor are prevented from dropping.

Outward displacement of the plate is prevented by the head of the pin,which overlaps the walls ofthe slot,l as shown in Fig. 2.

In lieu of securing the conductor to theplate vby rivets, lit may be accomplished by soldering or other fastenings. l

The teeth or serrations of the slot are shown pointed, xbut not necessarily so, as they' may be rounded or other shape, and the slot need not be continuous, in which case it will possess greater strength.

For corrugated pipe the upper end of the plate is' bent out, so that the conductor may set flush against the wall. f

Having thus describedmy invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A fastening for a-water-eonduetor, consisting of a plate having a slot, the edges there of being serrated, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The plate A, 'having openings B, and slot D, with serrated 'edges E, in combination with the pin F, adapted to enter said slot, all substantially as described.' l

3. The plate A, having a slot with serrated walls, the upper part of thel plate being set out, substantially as described.
