UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSIAH JACOBY, OF DOYLESTOWN, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN EAVE-TROUGHS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 53,984, dated April 17, 1866.
To alt whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J. JAGOBY, of Doylestown, in the county ot' Vayne and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eave-Trough Brackets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and com plete description ofthe construction of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this speciicatiou, in which- Figure l is a side View of the bracket and trough. Fig. 2 is a top View of the same.
Like letters of reference denote like parts in the views.
My improvement relates to an eave-trough bracket, as hereinafter described.
A represents the bracket, which is ot a semicircular form, like the trough B, as shown in Fig. l. At one side, the side next the eave,
.the bracket is turned at right angles and eX- tends about half-way across over the lower portion of the bracket, and at the end it is doubled back, as at A, through which a hanger,D,is screwed, th at supports the bracket. rlhe upper end ofthe hanger, which is inclined, as represented at D', is attached to the root' by screws or nails inserted through the holes e into the wood, whereby the brackets are connected to the eave or roof of the building. The outer edge of' the trough B is bent or coiled round in a circular form, as shown at E in the figures, and the end of the bracket is shaped so as to tit round the curved edge ot' the trough,
as represented at d, forming a catch, whereby it is firmly held in place.
The trough is inserted or placed in the bracket after being made in the proper shape, coiled round at the outer edge, by putting the back part under the horizontal portion of the bracket, when the outer curved edge is sprung into the catch fl, which holds it securely, and the trough ts down all round on the bracket, as shown in Fig. l. This mode of inserting the trough in the brackets after they are attached to the roof is very simple and convenient and supports it securely in place.
An eave-trough thus connected to the root' is entirely free from cross-pieces or obstructions on the inside for leaves or rubbish to lodge against'to retard the free course of the water and cause it to iiow over the edges, prod uci n g many disagreeable consequences,break ing` the cpnnections, and it is diiiicult to gain access tothe trough to clean it out as often as is required; but with my bracket these difficulties are all removed.
What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The construction and arrangement of the bracket A, in combination with the hanger D and trough, when combined in the` manner and for the purpose set forth.
. JOSIAH JAOOBY.
