STOVEPIPE HOLDER.
(Application filed May 8, 1899.)
(No Model.)
UNITED STATES PATENT @rrrcn.
GEORGE ALLEN HIGGINS, OF GALESBURG, ILLINOIS.
STOVEPlPE-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 650,32l: dated May 22, 1960.
Application filed May 8, 1899. Serial No. 715,954. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE ALLEN HIG- GINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Galesburg, in the county of Knox and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Stovepipe-Holder, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to stovepipe-holders, and has for its object to provide an improved device adapted to connect a section of stovepipe to a stovepipe-thimble and to prevent the stovepipe from being pushed through the thimble and into the chimney-flue.
To this end the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim. I
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a stovepipe-thimble and a section of pipe connected thereto by the present invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof shown in connection with a chimney. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the fastener.
Corresponding parts are designated by like reference characters in all the figures of the drawings.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates a chimney having the usual stovepipe-thimble 2, communicating from the interior of a room into the chimney-flue. Fitted into the outer end of the thimble is a section of-stovepipe t, having the improved fastening device 5, con uectin g the pipe to the thimble.
By reference to Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings it will be seen that the holder is formed from a flat plate slightly bowed transversely, so as to fit flush against the exterior of the stovepipe. One end of the plate is bent transversely thereof, so as to-provide a flange 6, extending at one side only of the plate, and the free edge of the flange is bent back thereupon, as at 7, and across the outer face of said flange. By this means a broad flat hook is provided for the plate and extends entirely across one end thereof. Provided centrally through the plate is a square or angular opening 8.
As shown in Fig. 2, it will be seen that the plate-5 is fitted to the exterior of the stovepipe at and connected thereto by means of a bolt 9, having a square or angular portion 10, adapted to register with a suitable opening provided through one side'of the stovepipe and with the opening 8, provided through the holder 5. The head 11 of the bolt is disposed against the inner face of the stovepipe, and the threaded portion of the bolt projects beyond the outer side of the plate 5 and is provided with a nut 12, adapted to be set tight against the outer face of the plate and secure the same firmly to the stovepipe-section. It will be understood that by reason of the squared portion 10 of the bolt fitting snugly within a similarly-shaped opening formed through the stovepipe the bolt is prevented from being turned therein, and as the opening 8 in the plate 5 also fits snugly the angular portion of the bolt said plate is likewise prevented frombeing accidentally turned upon the bolt and out of its proper normal position.
In applying the holder the stovepipe-section is first fitted within the thimble, as shown in Fig. 2, until the opening provided through the stovepipe is at the required distance from the outer end of the thimble, after which the holder is connected to the stovepipe, as hereinbefore described, and the hooked end of the plate is engaged over the flange or rim 13 of the thimble. Thus it will be seen that the bill 7 of the hook engaging the inner side of the rim 13 is adapted to prevent outward longitudinal displacement of the stovepipe-- section, and the flange or shank 6 of the hook engaging the outer side of the rim 13 prevents the stovepipe from being pushed longitudinally inward through the stovepipethimble into the flue-opening of the chimney. Furthermore, it will be understood that the present fastening may be applied to stovepipes while they are in place and does not require them to be removed.
Should it be desired to use a stovepipe-collar in connection with the present device, such collar may be applied to the stovepipesection before the latter is inserted into the thimble, and the fastening-plate 5 is applied from the inner end of the pipe-section and between the latter and the collar, after which the bolt 9 is passed through the stovepipe ICO and the plate. As indicated in Fig. 2, it will be seen that the bolt or fastening 9 is 10- cated'outwardly from the hook 7, so that the space between the latter and the bolt forms a retaining-seat for the reception of the stovepipe collar, and the bolt 9 prevents accidental outward movement of the collar.
It will be understood that one or more of the holders or fastening devices may be employed and that while preventing longitudinal displacement of the stovepipe-section, yet at the same time permits of the stovepipe being turned axially upon the stovepipe-thimble for the purpose of disposing an elbow atany desired angle or for any other purpose.
The present invention provides an exceedingly durable and efiective stovepipe-holder requiring no change in the common form of Stovepipe and thimble, as it is simply necessary to provide a small opening through the stovepipe for the accommodation of the bolt 9, whereby the holder is connected to the stovepipe.
and having a hook embracing the flange of the thimble, the plate also having a perforation located'outwardly from the hook, and registering with the perforation in the pipe-section, and a detachable fastening device passing through the alinedperforations, the space between the hook and the fastening forming a retaining-seat'for a stovepipecollar.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing-as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
