Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICEo S. R. HATHORN, OF OASTLETON, VERMONT.
IMPROVED SNOW AND ICE GUARD FOR ROOFS OF BUILDINGS.
Specilication forming part of Letters Patent N0. 58,4ll, dated October 2, 1866.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, S. R. HATEORN, of Gastleton, in the county of Rutland and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Snow and Ice Fenders and I do hereby declare that `the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the saine, reference being had to the aceo mpan yin g drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a perspective view of a section of the rootl of a building with my improved snow and ice fender applied thereto, 011e when the main part is made ot' cast metal and the other when it is made of wrought metal. Figfl represents a section on line A B, Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 represents a section on line C D, same ligure.
In the drawings, A represents the boarding to the root', and O the roof-timbers.
D represents the main part of my snow and ice fender when made ot' castmetal. It is made with a long fiat base, E, to fit in a place cut in the boarding of the root', as shown in the drawings. It also projects up, as seen at a, then extends back, as seen at b, then up again, as seen at o. The upright part c may be cast or made in any ornamental form, one good Vforni heilig shown in the drawings.
The space j' enables the workman to apply either shingles or slate to the roof-without difiiculty.
In Figs. l and 2 the same principle is illustrated upon a reduced scale, when the device is made of wrought metal, the only difference being in the ornamental part and in the mode of supporting the fender-rods e c e, which in the latter case pass through loops formed by bending down a part ot the upright piece c, as shown at g g.
My snow and ice fender can be made cheap, is strong, and is not liable to get out of order. Again, as the pieces D are fastened to the boarding before the shingles or slate are put on, there is no chance for leakage.
The main parts I) are applied at suitable distances apart, so as to properly support the rods e against the sliding snow and ice upon the root' of the building.
In some cases where great strength is required, and the part E is made thick, it can be applied just over the rooting-timbers, so as receive its main strength therefrom, as indicated in Fig. 3.
Having described my improved snow and ice fender, what I claim therein as new and of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters 1. A snow and ice fender composed of the supporting -pieces D and fender-rods e, and combined together, substantially as and Vfor the purposes set forth.
2. The snow and ice fender constructed and arranged substantially as herein described, so that it may be secured to the roof of a building before the shingles or slate are put on, as
set forth.
S. R. HATHORN.
