Application filed June 21, 1909. Serial No. 503,369.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, EARL Vi ILLIAMs, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Greencastle, in the county of Putnam'and tltate ot Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PipeHangers;

and I do declare the following to be a full,

the same. Fig. 3 is a front view of the upper part of the hanger showing it moditied so as to engage with a metal beam,

A is a Wooden beam or joist. The upper part of the hanger is formed of two crossed arms B connected together at their middle,

and fiat portions 7) by a pivotpin C. The

upper end portions D or the arms B are twisted to form a right-angle with their middle portions 6 and are arranged parallel to each other and terminate in laterally projecting spikes (Z. The points of the spikes project toward each oth'erand are pressed or driven into the wood. of the beam A. The lower end portions E of the arms B are twisted to form a right-angle with. their middle portions 6, and are bent around and arranged so that they overla each other.

- The end portions E areprovi ed with holes 6 which register with each other when the.

arms are secured to the beam.

F is a short pipe or tubular rod which is passed through the holes 0, and f is an adjustingmut screwed on the upper portion of the pipe F and supporting the pipe F from the parts E. The lower end portion of the pipe F is provided with a cap G having a downwardly projecting lug g.

H is a band offiexible metal having lugs h at its ends, and I is a pivot bolt which passes through holes in the lugs g and h, and which clamps the band H on a piped or other similar object to be supported trpm the beam. i 0

In the modification shgwn in Fig. 3, the crossed arms 13 are provided with blunt hooks ii, at their upper ends instead of spikes cl. These blunt hooks a! engage with the lower flanges-of a metal beam A into which spikes could not be driven. The loose connection of the rod F, and the pin otal connection of the bolt 1 permit the pipe J-to expand and contract, and 'to move in many directions. This hanger is very cheaply constructed, and is found to be very clhcientin action.

What I claim is: 1. In a hanger, the combination, with two crossed and pivoted arms having projections at their upper ends for engaging with a beam, said arms having also overlapping projections at their lower ends having holes which register with each other when the arms are secured to a beam, of a rod which engages loosely with the said holes and. is free to swing in all directions, a nut secured on the upper part of the said rod and sup-v porting it from the said overlapping projections, and means for supporting a heavy object from the lower end of the said rod.

2. In a hanger, the combination, with two 'crossed'and pivoted arms having their upper and lower end portions twisted to form a right-angle with their middle portions, the said upper end portions having projections for engaging with a beam, and the said lower end portions being arranged to overlap each other and having holes which register with each other; of a rod which engages loosely with the said holes, a nut on the upper end portion of the; saul rod and supporting it from the lower end por tions of the said arms and permitting the rodto swing freely in all directions, and means for connecting a heavy object to the said rod.

In testimony whereof I have al'tixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

' EARL WILLIAMS.
