B. H.. SPANGBNBERG. ADJUSTABLE BRACKET.
- APPLIUATION FILED NOV. 28, 1904.
PATEN'IED JAN. 30, 1906.
2 SHBETS-8HBET 1.
BREWSTER H. SPANGENBERG, OF GERMANTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
ADJUSTABLE BRACKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 30, 1906.
Application filed November 28,1904. Serial No. 235,505,
To a, whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BREWSTER H. SPANG- ENBERG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Germantown, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Adjustable Bracket, of which the following is aspecification.
There-are many articles which are fitted with pipe connections and require independent support. Gas-meters are a type of such articles, and it is desirable that the support should be properly adjustable, so as to be sure that the article is supported without any strain upon its pipe connections. Furthermore, this is frequently difficult of attainment on account of the character of the surfaces or articles to which the support must be applied.
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a support or bracket possessed of the required adjustments for adapting it to such uses as have been indicated, as well as to many others.
Another object of the invention is to provide a comparatively inexpensive, easily-manipulated, and reliable adjustable bracket.
To these and other ends hereinafter set forth the invention, stated in general terms, consists of the improvements to be presently described and finally claimed.
The nature, characteristic features, and scope of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, and in which Figure 1 is a front elevational view of an adjustable bracket embodying features of the invention. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 are side views of two parts of the bracket, showing the faces of each, which. abut when assembled. Figs. 5 and 6 are front views of two of the parts of the bracket embodying modifications of the invention, and Fig. 7 is a view illustrating the bracket in application as the support for a gas-meter.
In the drawings, 1 is an arm having a substantially flat lateral face 2 and an oblong slot 3. The arm is illustrated as having enerally the form of three parts arranged li e a triangle, and it may be cast in one piece or otherwise made. This arm is provided with a flange or base 4, shown as provided with openings 5, whereof one part is comparatively large and the other. comparatively restricted. The arm illustrated in the drawings is also provided with ways 6, arranged on the side opposite the comparatively flat face 2 and adjacent the edges of the slot 3. In
the modified form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 6 the flange 4 of the arm is provided with openings 7, having the form of arcs of circles.
8 is a support, and it is provided. with a flat lateral face 9 in proximity with an oblong opening 10. Although the face 9 is shown as elevated above the general plane of the support, this is not essential, but useful where the article is cast. illustration is of generally triangular form and is shown as perforated, so as to lighten it. On the side opposite the flat lateral face 9 and along the edges of the slot 10 there is, as shown in the drawings, a face a, useful for a purpose to be presently described;
11 is the bearing edge of the support, and as shown in Fig. 1 it is flat, whereas as shown in Fig. 5 it is convex.
12 is a bolt which passes through the slots 3 and 10, and it is provided, as shown, with a butterfly-nut 13. The head of the bolt is illustrated as arranged in the ways 6, and a washer 14 is shown as arranged between the butterfly-nut 13 and the face a.
An explanation of the operation of the described bracket will now be given in connection with its use as a support for a gas-meter. The gas-meter l) is properly coupled up with its pipe connections 0, and screws or the like at are applied either to the wall or to a board screwed to the wall or other fixture. These screws (1 are properly spaced so that the larger parts of the openings 5 in the flange 4 may be passed over them and the arm, then shifted so as to have the heads of the screws engage the flange. These screws are put as nearly as may be in proper position; but no special care is required in locating them. The support 8 of the bracket is then adjusted by loosening the set-screw and turning the support or shifting it backward and forward or up and down in one plane, as may be required to bring its bearing edge into proper relation for sustaining the meter or other object to be supported. If the modification illustrated in Fig. 5 is employed, the convex bearing edge will adjust itself to the bottom of the meter, eventhough the latter is not horizontal, and if the modification shown in The support chosen for Fig. 6 be employed the circular slot 7 affords a certain range of adjustment of the bracket as a whole.
Having thus described the nature and obj ects of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. An adjustable bracket comprising two generally triangular parts each provided at or near its apex with a substantially flat lateral face and with an oblong opening perpendicular to its supporting edge, and a single clamping-bolt penetrating both openings, substantially as described.
2. An adjustable bracket comprising an arm having a supporting-base and a substantially flat lateral contact-face and an oblong opening, a support having a bearing edge trending in the direction of the bracket and a substantially flat lateral contact face and an oblong opening, and a single bolt penetrating said opening and adapted to clamp and unclamp said contact-faces whereby the support is capable of rotary and linear adjustment in one plane, substantially as described.
3. A11 adjustable bracket comprising an arm having a perforated flangeor base and an oblong opening, a flat contact-face on one side of said opening and ways on the other side of said opening, a support having a bear: ing edge trending in the direction of the bracket and an oblong opening and a substantially flat contact-face on each side of the last-mentioned opening, and a single clamping-bolt penetrating said openings and having its head arranged in said ways, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.
BREWSTER H. SPANGENBERG.
