BRACE FOR BBICK-KILNS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
'tpph'eation files. July 21, 1909. Serial No. 508.696.
To all whom it may concern:
lc it known that l, ANA'rom-i lninjssn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ol Kingston, in the county ot llster and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Brace tor Brick- Kilns, of which the t'olknving is a full, clear, and ex- :u-t tltS(.li]')l'l0I|.
My invention relates to braces, and it has for its object to provide one whiclris adapted to brace the sides of a brick kiln to serve as a support while the bricks are being baked. .lhe brace is adjustable so that it ma be titted between a side ot' the kiln amt a training spaced therefrom, without endangering the workmen who have the work in charge. .Ilitherto it' has been custonfary to brace the sides of the kilns with timbers and wedges during the baking of the brick. the workmen being required to adjust the wedges continually, because during the baking;' process the kilns expand and contract, and when the sides have not; been braced after they havecontracted, the sides are apt to topple over it the kiln should again e\'pand. There is considerable danger in adjusting the wedges, tor a sudden pressure is apt to injure the sides of the kilnv 'ith my brace the dangers and ditli- Z culties pre\'iousl encountered are removed.
Still other objects of the invention will appear in the following complete description of my invention.
In this specification I will describe the preferred form of my invention, it being understood that the scope of the lnvention is detined in the appended claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompalrving drawingsforming a part of this spcciti cation. in which similar characters of reter cnec indicate corresponding parts in both views.
Figure 1 a side elevation of my brace with parts broken away to show its construction; and Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same.
13y referring to the drawin it will be seen that the arm 1 has lateral studs 2 near one of its terminals, these studs 2 being; disposed "in curved slots 3 in the sides l of a box which is secured to a supporting member 5. The supporting member 5 has a considrable surface which is adapted to lie against the side 6 of a brick kiln. The top 7 of the box has its inner face disposed substantially at right angles to the supporting member 5, .the inner face b of the bottom of the box diverging r-arwardly relatively to the top T ot the box.
The top of the arm 1 'lorms an acute with its end 9, so that when the end against the supporting member 3 the bottom of the arm 1 will be disposed against, the bottom 3 of the box. The upper surface of the arm 1 has teeth 10, the arm 1 being disposed through a longitudinal opening in a member 11. A pawl 12 having a thumb piece 1 is pivoted in an opening 14-, which extends from the top of the member 1L downwardly to its longitudinal opening, the pawl 12 being pivoted to the member 11 at the sides of the opening l-t. 'lhis pawl .12 is adapted to engage the teeth il of the arm 1, said teeth projecting rearwardly toward the pawl 12. To the front of the member 11 is secured a vertical member 15, which 't'orms a flange 16 extending below the member 11. Teeth 17 project. rearwardly from the flange it, said teeth being adapted to engage the side of a timber 1b, which is disposed along the sides of the kiln, the. member 1t being adapted to rest on the timber 18 when the tlange It .is so disposed that its teeth 17 engage the side. of the said timber.
In using my invention,ithe workman takes the brace and thrusts forward so that the supporting member 5 engages the side ti ot' the brick kiln,.and then disposes the member 11 on the timber 18 with the flange .lt' at the side of the timber. He then presses against the kiln with his foot, taking up the slack between the supporting member 5 and the member '11 by the engagement of the pawl 12 with the teeth 10 on the arm 1.
Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. In a brace, an arm ha\ing teeth, a supangle 9 lies' 'latented "00.,21, 1909.
ltltl a member having a longitudinal openingtheretln'ough in which is disposed the arm, there being a second opening in the said member, which extends to the first opening, a pawl pivoted in the last named opening which is adapt-ed to engage-the teeth, and a flange on the member which is adapted to lie against a side of a f mine on which the member is adapted to rest.
2. In a brace, an arm having teeth, a supdisposed in the slot, a member having a ionopening, a pawl pivoted in the last named porting member having a lug in which there 15 a curved slot, a pm on the arm which is gitudinal opening therethrough in which is disposed the arm, there being a second opening in the member which extends to the first opening, a pawl pivoted in the last named opening, which is adapted to engage the teeth, and a flange on the member which is adapted to-lie against the side of a frame on which the member is adapted to rest.-
3. In a brace, an arm, a supporting member having a ing, pin and slot connections between the ing and the arm, the member having a longitudinal opening therethrough in which is disposed the arm, adjustable means for securing the member to the arm, and a flange on the member which is adapted to lie against a side of a frame on which the member is adapted to rest.
4. In a brace, an arm having teeth, a supporting member having a ing, pin and slot connections between the lug and the arm, a member having a longitudinal opening therethrough in which is disposed the arm, a pawl pivoted 'to the member, which is adapted to engage the teeth on the arm, and a flange on the member which is adapted to lie against a side of a frame on which the member is adapted'to rest. I 5. In a brace, an arm having teeth, a supporting member, an adjustable connection between the. supporting member and one terminal of the arm, a member having a longitudinal openingtherethrough in which is disposed thearm, there being a second opening in the member which extends to the first opening, which is adapted to engage the teeth on the arm, and a flange on the member which is adapted to lie against a side of a frame on which the member is adapted to rest.
6. In a brace, an arm, a supporting member having a lug, a pin and slot connection between the lug and the arm, a second memben having a guide way in which the arm is disposed, the second member bein adapted to rest on a timber and having a depending flange, which isadapted to lie against the side of the same timber, and means for liolding the arm relatively to the member.
7. In a brace, an arm, a supporting member having a lug, a pin and slot connection between the lug and the arm, a member having a guide-way in -which the arm is disposed, and means for holding the arm relatively to the member.
8. In a brace, an arm having teeth thereon, a supporting member, an adjustable connection between the supporting member and one terminal of the arm, a member hav-, ing a longitudinal opening therethrough in which is disposed the arm, there being an opening from the outer surface of the said member to the said opening, and a pawl piv-. otcd in the last named opening, which is adapted to engage the teeth on the arm.
9. In a brace, an arm, having teeth, a supporting member, a pin and slot connection between the supporting member and the arm, a member having a longitudinal opening therethrough in which is disposed the arm,
there being a second opening in the said member which extends to the first opening,
and a pawl pivoted in the last-named opening which is adapted to engage the teeth. 10. In a brace, an arm having teeth, a supporting member, a pm and slot connecl tion between the supporting member and the arm, a member having a guide in which is disposed the arm, and a pawl pivoted to the member and adapted for engaging the teeth.
11. In a brace, an arm, a supporting membcr having a lug, there being a curved slot in one of the said two elements, a pin on the other of said elements which is disposed in the slot, a member having a guide in which is disposed the arm, and means mounted on the lastnamed member adapted for securing the arm relatively to the said memher.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of the two subscribing witnesses.
