JACOB SCHUG, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO,
ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOSEPH H. ANDERSON AND GEORGE A. METZGER, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
BASE FOR PORCH- PILLARS OR SIMILAR UPRIGHTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 738,850, dated September 15, 1903.
Application filed March 30, 1903.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB SOHUG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bases for Porch-Pillars or Similar Uprights, of which the following is a specification, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.
The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail one mechanical form embodying the invention, such detail construction being but one of various mechanical forms in which'the principle of the invention may be used.
I11 said annexed drawings, Figure-I represents a vertical section of a post or porcheolumn provided with my improved base or shoe, and Fig. II a bottom plan view of the latter.
YVooden porch columns or other similar wooden uprights are liable to rot in their lower ends on account of moisture collecting between the lower end of the column or post and the porch-floor and between the facings and moldings which usually are nailed or otherwise secured to the lower end of the column or post to make an ornamental base and the inability to ventilate and thus dry those parts. By my present improvement I provide an ornamental base for such uprights which is strong and durable and which will admit of drainage of accumulating moisture and ventilation of the lower end of the upright, thereby keeping the same fresh and dry. The base has preferably the circumferential outline of the column for which it is to servein the illustrated instance, circularand consists of a bottom 1 and a circumferential flange 2, forming a socket, into which the end of the upright 3 fits. The circumference of the base is molded into ornamental outline and merges into a circumferential beade upon the under side of the base, which raises the bottom of the latter off from the floor or support. This head has channels ornotches 5 passing radially through it, which channels provide ventilation for the underv side of the base. The bottom of the base has a number of openings 6, which provide ven- Serial No. 150,160. (No model.)
tilation for the end of the upright. A lug 7 is preferably provided at the center of the bottom to support the same. If the base is very large and the load carried by the upright and base is considerable, a number of such lugs may be provided. The flange of the base has a rabbet 8 in the inner side of its upper edge, into which rabbet putty or other cement is filled to close the joint between the column and the flange, such filling being indicated by 9 in the drawings. By the use of this base an ornamental and strong base is provided for such uprights as porchcolumns and the like and a base in which the lower end of the upright will have drainage as well as ventilation, thereby preventing rotting of the wood in the lower end of the upright. As the end of the upright is contained in the shoe or socket of the base such end will be confined and prevented from splitting, and the support of this base for the lower end of the upright will be firm and strong. If desired or required, nails, spikes, or otherfastenings may be employed to secure the base to the porch-floor or other support.
Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed for the mode herein explained. Change may therefore be made as regards the mechanism thus disclosed, provided the principles of construction set forth respectively in the following claims are employed. 8 5
Itherefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention 1. A base for porch-pillars or similar uprights, consisting of a bottom having openings and a circumferential bead having chan- 9o nels or notches, and a circumferential flange forming asocket for the reception of the lower end of the upright and formed with a rabbet for the reception of a fastening-cement.
2. The combination With'the upright 3, of the base consisting of the apertured bottom 1, the flange 2 having rabbet 8, the bead 4 having channels 5, and the lug 7.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing to be my invention I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of March, 1903.
JACOB SCHUG.
