PATENTED JULY 21, 1908. G. A. ROPE &: P. L. ZIMMERMAN. GLASP FOR HANGING AWNINGS, 6:0. APPLICATION IILED MAR. 28, 1905. RENEWED MAY 4. 1908.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CHARLES ALBERT RCPE AND PAGE L. ZIMMERMAN, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 21, 1908.
Application filed March 28, 1905, Serial No. 252,539. Renewed May 4, 1908. Serial No. 430,800.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CHARLES ALBERT Born and PAGE L. ZIMMERMAN, citizens of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented a new and useful Im rovement in Clasps for Hanging Awnings, $0., of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates generally to an improved clasp, and the primary object of the invention is to provide a hanger for supporting the head-rods of awnings, which can be readily and conveniently applied to the head rod and adjusted thereon to register with a permanently located supporting hook with which the hanger is adapted to engage, thereby facilitating the hanging of awnings and dispensing with the use of the series of screw eyes commonly employed for attaching the top of the awning to the window frame, and which require removal and relocation every time the awning is hung.
The invention consists in a clasp comprising two pivotal jaw members adapted to embrace the head-rod of an awning or other device, one member having a shank to engage a hook or other supporting means, and the other an arm so located as to be obstructed by the said supporting means and be locked thereby to maintain the jaws members against opening.
The invention further consists in certain other novel features in the arrangement and construction of parts, all as hereinafter described and specifically set forth in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is a view in perspective showing the application of the invention to an awning head-rod. Fig. 2, is a side view of the clasp as shown applied to an awning-rod. Fig. 3, is a perspective view of therclasp shown in open position to receive a head-rod. Fig. 4, is a perspective View showing the members -of the clasp detached.
Referring to the drawings, 1 and 2 indicate respectively the two members of the hanger clasp, which are pivoted together at 3 and have the jaw of each curved so as to form a loop when brought together in which to retain the head-rod 4, while the opposing extremities of the jaws are adapted to clamp or closely surround the awning fabric at a point adjacent the headrod. The member 1 is provided with a shank portion in the form of a loop 5 which lies in a plane at right angles to the direction of clamping movement of the jaws in order that the hook 6 reduced portion is extended to form the arm 7 which is adapted to extend to the side of said loop when the clasp is closed and, in the opening and closing of the clasp, to pass through said loop.
The arm 7 is preferably formed with a curved or cam face 8. on the side thereof engaged by the supporting hook or other means within the loop to obstruct the said arm and lock the jaws in closed relation, the curved engaging face of said arm insuring a wedging action upon the hook and holding the hook and clasp firmly together. It will be understood in this connection that the action of the head-rod under the strain of the awning is to separate the supporting jaws and constantly maintain the arm 7 in pressure contact with the supporting hook 6.
A hook 9 is formed on the loop member of the clasp for the purpose of providing a support for the pulley-block 10 independently of the head-rod and at a point below the head-rod in order to allow the pulley-block to swing free.
What is claimed is:
l. A hanger comprising two complemental supporting members pivotally con nected, one of said members having a shank adapted to receive an attaching means extending into supporting engagement therewith in the direction in which said members open and close, and the other member having a projection adapted to move toward the shank and engage said attaching means, in the opening movement of said members, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
2. A hanger comprising two complemental supporting members pivotally connected, one of said members being provided with a suspending loop, and the other member provided with a locking projection adapted to be received within said loop, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
3. A hanger comprising two complemental supporting members pivotally connected, one of said members being provided with a suspending loop, and the other provided with a locking cam working within said loop, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
4. A hanger comprising two complemental supporting members pivotally connected, one of said members having a shank adapted to receive an attaching means, and the other having a locking arm normally projecting to the side on which its said member is located, and adapted to move into engagement with said attaching means in the opening movement of said members, substan tially as described and for the purpose set forth.
5. A hanger comprising two complemental supporting members pivotally connected and adapted to separate at their free ends under the supporting strain, one member having a shank adapted to receive an attaching -1neans, and theother having an upwardly projecting arm adapted to move toward said shank and into engagement with said attaching means in the opening move ment of said members, substantially as described, whereby to lock said members from further opening.
6. A hanger comprising two complemental supporting members pivotally connected, one provided with a suspending loop arranged transversely to the direction of said members in opening and closing, and adapted to receive an attaching means, and the other member provided with a locking arm to engage said attaching means by movement toward said loop, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
7. A hanger comprising two complemental supporting members pivotally connected, one having a supporting means, independent of the other member, and a shank adapted to receive an attaching means, and the other member having an arm adapted to move into engagement with said attaching means, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
8. A clasp for supporting awnings, comprisin two pivoted jaws to form an open loop about the head-rod thereof, one having a shank for receiving an attaching means, and a hook for supporting the pulley-blocks of the hoisting ropes, and the other jaw having an arm adapted to be obstructed by said attaching means to lock the jaws.
In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
