SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 714,199, dated November `25, 1902.
Y Application iiled September 13, 1902. Serial No. 123,243. (No model.)
T all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUIS LANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Toledo, Lucas county, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Post-Caps, of which the following is a specification.
This invention pertains to improvements in post-caps employed in building construction in forming the j unctures between posts and 1o horizontal timbers, and the invention will be readily understood from the following de-Y scription,taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a perspective view of my im- I 5 proved post-cap; Fig. 2, a perspective view of the same shown upside down, and Fig. 3 a perspective view of the device shown in conjunction With timbers.
In the drawings, 1 indicates a post in coneo junction with which a post-cap is to be used; 2, a second post setting upon the first one, as in case, for instance, where post l is ernployed in the basement and post 2 in the first story of a building; 3 and i, horizontal tim- 2 5 bers forming a juncture with and supported by post l; 5, a gutter-shaped seat-piece resting on top post l and having its side walls engaging the sides of the horizontal timbers and the superpost 2; 6, a socket capping over 3o the upper end of post l; 7, tlanges projecting upwardly from the side walls of the socket and secured, as by rivets, against the side' walls of the seat-piece 5, the socket being formed of two halves having their juncture near the transverse center of the seat-piece, each half having one of the upright iianges 7 5 8, horizontal flanges projecting outwardly from the front and rear Walls of the socket and riveted to the iioor of the seat-piece; 9,
4.o doweling-ribs secured to the iioorof the seatpiece and designed to engage transverse grooves in timbers 3 and 4 to prevent endwise displacement of the timbers in the seat-piece; 10, bolt-holes through the side walls of the seat-piece, and 1l holes through the front and rear walls of the socket.
It is to be understood that in the employ ment of my improved post-cap the superpost 2 will not always be present. For instance, where the post 1 is to aid in supportinga sin- 5o gle fioor only then superpost 2 will be absent and timbers 3 and 4 will have their ends abutting, and in cases the timbers 3 and 4 will be represented by a single continuous timber lying in the seat-piece. Bolts in the bolt-holes of the post-cap may be employed in clamping the parts to the timbers and making the juncture more rm, and in case bolts are used through the side walls of the seat-piece and through the horizontal timbers lying in the 6o seat-piece then, of course, there is no need for the doweling-ribs 9.
The structure must be formed of wrought metal to give flexibility to the floor of the seat-piece and to the side walls of the socket. The joint of separation between the two halves of the socket permits of the socket accommodating itselt to such transverse iiexure of the seat-piece as may be incident to its slight spreading to engage an enlarged timber or 7o its slight contraction to engage a somewhat smaller timber. i
Each half of the socket is formed from a strip of plate metal cross-cut half across the plate where the corner bends are to occur. The corner bends and flanged bends are then to be made and the iianges riveted to the seatpiece;
I claim as my invention- In a post-cap, the combination, substan- 8o tially as s'et forth, of a trough-shaped seatpiece, anda socket formed of two pieces having horizontal lianges secured under the floor of the seat-piece and having upwardly-extending flanges secured against the side walls of the seat-piece.
