OF MAYVILLE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HERMAN SIXBEY, .OF SAME PLACE.
EAVES=TROUGH HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 390,122, dated September 25, 1888.
Application filed February 25, 1888. Serial No. 265,223.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE A. GREEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at May ville, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Eaves-Trough Hangers; and I do hereby 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.
Myimproved eaves-trough hanger comprises a band which encircles the eaves-trough, the outer end of that portion of the baud running under the trough hooking into the turneddown outer edge of the trough, and the outer end of the upper portion of said band which extends across the trough hooking over the turned-down edge of the trough,a suspending strap pivotally attached to the top face, and a clamp or brace pivotally attached to the under face of the cross-piece. By thus pivotally attaching the suspending-strap to the crosspiece of the trough-encircling band saidhanger or suspending-strap can be attached at any angle, While by passing the band completely around the trough and hooking its ends, respectively,within and around the turned-down outer edge of the trough,and pivotallyattaching a clamp or brace-strip to the under face of that portion of the encircling'band, so that when in operative position the ends of said brace-piece will press against the inner walls of the trough and clamp them against the encircling-band, the trough is securely and immovably gripped and held in position.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents an end elevation of asection of an eavestrough with my improved hanger in position thereon. Fig. 2 represents a detail view of one of my improved trough-hangers, the trough clamp or brace being shown in dotted lines in unlocked position to permit of the hanger being slipped in position upon the eaves-trough or removed therefrom.
1 represents an eavestrough of ordinary construction.
My improved trough-hanger comprises three essential parts-Via, a metallic band com- (No model.)
pletely encircling the trough transversely and adapted, as hereinafter described, to be readily slipped on and off the same, as desired; a clamp or brace pivotally attached to that portion of the metallic band crossing the top of the trough and adapted to be turned on its pivot transversely of said band to permit of said hanger being readily slipped on or off and slid along the trough or turned on its pivot parallel with said hand, so as to grip and brace the trough and encircling-band and clamp them rigidly together, and a suspending-strap pivotally connected to the encircling-band. The encircling-band 2 is formed with a curved lower portion, 3, which, when the hanger is in position, encircles or surrounds the outer side walls and bottom of the trough. The end of this curved portion has a curve or hook, 4, formed thereon, which hooks into the down turned outer edge, 5, of the trough.
6 represents a crimp formed in the band, which extends over the inner edge of the trough. From this crimped portion the band extends across the interior of the trough a short distance below its top edges, as shown at 7. The outer end of this cross-piece 7 is hook-shaped, as shown at 8, and hooks over and around the downturned edge of the trough. By thus forming each end of the encircling-band 2 of hook shape, and hooking said ends respectively within and over and around the downturned edge of the trough, and passingthe band entirelyaround the trough, it will be seen that an invincible grip is secured on the trough both at top and bottom, the trough being held from slipping either upwardly or downwardly away from the encircling hanger-band by the oppositelygripping hooks thereon.
To the under face of the cross piece 7 of the band 2 is connected by a pivot, 9, a bracepiece, 10, having downturned edges 11, which, when said brace is turned into locking positionthat is, in alignment with the crosspiece 7--bind against and grip the inner side walls of the trough and press them outwardly against the encircling-band, thereby gripping said trough and band 2 firmly together, and consequently locking the trough securely in position without the possibility of either it or the encircling-band moving or slipping the one away from the other. \Vhen the brace 10 is turned on its pivottransversely to the cross' piece 7, as indicated in dotted lines, the trough and encircling-band are unlocked, and the encircling-band can then be readily slipped on or off the trough,or the trough readily slipped away from the encircling-band 2. Vhen the centrally-pivoted brace 10 is turned lengthwise of the trough-that is, transversely to the cross piece 7 -the trough can be readily slipped in position between the upper and lower portions of the eucirclingband. Then, upon the trough being placed in position, the brace is turned on its pivot and snapped into place,with its respective ends gripping the inner walls of the trough, thereby iinniovably holding the trough in place.
A perfectly reliable hanger is thus secured which cannot possibly get out of place or fail to hold the trough securely in position.
12 represents the suspension-strap. This is formed of an ordinary flat strip of metal having suitable attaching-holes in its length. It has at its lower end a right-angled foot or lug, 13, by means of which it is pivotally connected to the cross-piece 7 by the pivot 9,conneeting the brace to the cross-piece 7. By thus pivoting the suspending strap 12 it can be turned as desired to secure the connection in any desired position.
\Vhat I claim is- 1. An caves trough hanger comprising a band encircling the trough and having curved or hook'shaped ends to respectively hook into and around the downturncd outer edge of the trough, a snspensionstrap secured thereto, and a brace'piecc pivotaliysecurcd to said oncirclingband and adapted to engage the re 6 spective inner side faces of the trough and grip said band and trough together.
2. An eaves-trough hanger comprising a band encircling the trough and having curved or hook-shaped ends to respectively hook into 45 and around the downturned edge of the trough, and a top cross-piece depending within the trough, a suspension-strap pivotally secured to the cross-piece of said encircling-band, and
a bracepicce pivotally secured beneath said 0 cross-piece.
3. An eaves-trough hanger comprising a band encircling the trough and having curved ends adapted to engage with the downturn'ed outer edge of the trough, a brace-piece pivot- 5 ally connected to said encirclingband and having rightangled ends adapted to bind against the inner faces of the trough and press the same against the encirclingband and grip said band and trough together, and a suspend- 6o ing-strap connected to said encircling-band.
4. An eaves-trough hanger comprising a band encircling the trough and having curved ends adaptedto engage with the downturned outer edge of the trough, as shown, a brace- 6 piece pivotally connected to said encirclingband and having vertically-extending ends adapted to press said trough against the encircling-band and grip said band and trough together, and a suspending-strap pivotally 70
