W. CURRY. FLUE PROTECTOR AND WIND GUARD.
- Patented Ma, 3, 1892-.
N WN UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
\VILLIAM CURRY, OF BROOKLYN NEW YORK.
FLU E-PROTECTOR AND WIND-GUARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. $74,057, dated May 3, 1892.
Application filed September 30, 1891. Serial No. 407,247. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM CURRY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Flue-Protectors and Wind- Guards, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in flue-protectors and wind-guards, in which the cap-plates around the margin of the chimney are secured in position by means of adjustable corner-pieces, the latter serving at the same time as supports for a cowl or windguard.
A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a view of the device in side elevation, partially in section. Fig. 2 is a view in vertical section. Fig. 3 is a top plan view, a portion of the cowl or wind-guard being removed; and Figs. 4 and 5 are views in detail, showing one corner in vertical section in the plane of the line 99 at, Fig. 3, and representing corner supporting-brackets adjustable and fixed, respectively.
The outer Wall of the chimney is represented by A, and the chimney is shown in the present instance as having two flues, the interior divided by a partition-wall a.
The outer edge of the top of the chimney is protected by means of angle-plates, those at the side being denoted by B and those at the ends by b. The plates B and b, when adj usted to the top of the chimney, are held securely in place by means of corner-plates O, as follows: Each of the corner-plates O is adapted to embrace the adjacent sides and top of the corner and is provided with perforated lugs or ears 0, projecting from their sides and adapted to receive bindingrods D therethrough. The opposite ends of the rods D are screw-threaded and provided with adj listing-nuts cl, so that when the corner-pieces are placed in position and the rods D inserted in their perforated lugs or ears, the rod D 011 one side of the chimney extending through the perforated lugs on the adjacent sides of two different corner-pieces, the said corneiwpieces may be drawn singly into contact with the corner of the chimney by screwing up the nuts thereon.
WVhile I prefer to screw-thread both ends of the rod D and provide them with adjusting-nuts cl, it is obvious that one end of the rod might be provided with a fixed head and the adjustment take place at the opposite end only.
For the purpose of supporting the cowl or wind-guard E in its position over the top of the chimney I provide the corner-plates O with supporting-brackets adapted to engage the corners of the cowl or wind-guard, as represented in Fig. 4 and also in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. The supporting-bracketF has its body V- shaped in cross-section and is provided with an inwardly-projecting lug f, having a slot f, formed in its end to receive a fasteningbolt f extending through it and through a hook 0, formed integral with or fixed to the corner plate 0. This arrangement admits of tilting the supporting-bracket F into position to conform to the corners of cowls or guards and having different slants and when the bolts are screwed up singly serves to hold the cowls or guards into position.
In the form shown in Fig. 5 I have represented the supporting-bracket F as formed integral with or fixed to the corner-plate O and adapted to receive the corner of the cowl or guard over it.
A cross-brace G, fixed to the side plates B, may be provided to serve as a support for the cowl or guard E at points intermediate to its corners.
The above-described structure admits of the ready and exact adjustment of the protector and guard to chimneys of various sizes and without disturbing the wall of the chimney, and also admits of the employment of cowls or guards having different slants without any change of the protector and support other than the adjusting of the supportingbracket to the proper angle.
What I claim is-- 1. In combination, the corner-plates, binding-rods for holding the corner-plates in position, a cowl or wind-guard, and supportto the corner-plates in swinging adjustment, substantially as set forth.
WILLIAM CURRY.
