PETER GANTz,-'or ALBANY, NEW YORK, Asslcnon To HIMsELF ANDl MARTIN FRYER, 0F SAME PLACE.
Letters Patent No. 97 ,289, dated November 30, 1869.
IMPROVED BRACKET FOR CONDUCTORS..
`The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and' making part of the same.
To all whom 'it'inay con-cern.- y
Be it'known that I, PETER Gas'rz, ot the city and county of A1bar`iy,` State of New York, have invented -`certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets' ibr Conductor-Pipes; and .I do hereby declare' that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, "forming a part of thisfspeciiication, in which` Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical view of the same.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section. v Figure 4 isv a cross-section through red line in Figure 5 is a cross-section of the same, showing a set-screw as-a substitute forthe wedging-key.
The natureI of my invention consists in hinging one or both clamping-arms of a bracket to a spike, (to be driven into the side of a' building,) and securing the said clamping-arms firmly around the' conductor-pipe bymeans oi a wedging-key or a setscrew, placed back .of the pivot or pivots on which one or both o the said clasping-arms swings; also, abindingpiece, which, with the shoulder of the spike, will hold firmly all theseveral pieces together. y
When thus constructed, the bracket may receive a conductor-pipe of a little larger or smaller diameter than the size supposed to be, and will iirmly hold the said pipe, though the diameters maybe slightlyvaried as is often the case. v
By this bracket, the conductor-pipe can be readily placed and secured in position, and held at a distance vfrom the side of' a building, as all condnctor-pil'ies should be held, A
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describerit in reference to the drawings, and the letters ot' reference marked thereon,` the saine letters indicating like parts.
A represents the bracket-spike, which is to be driven into the building B, and which is to hold the claspingarms a a, intended to clasp the conductm--pipc (I.
The bracket-spike A is made of any suitable metal, (cast malleable iron `preferred,) and is 'urnlshed with a head, b, figs. 1 and 3, on which the spike is to be struck when being driven in its place. The said fspike is also frnished with a shoulder having a sniiicicnt width'to admit having a square hole, c, (shown by dot-ted lilies in fig. 2,) made into it, without weakening the same.
Cast to the spike is also a pivot, d, figs. 1, 2, and 3, which pivot is to receive'the head oi' the claspingarms a a, which arms are free to swing on the said pivot, d, as shown in fig. 2, and can be opened out to receive the conductor-pipe (l, and closed (a-s shown by red lines) around the said pipe.
Two notches e e, fig. 2, are madein the inner edges of the heels of the elasping-arms, back of the pivot d, having an aggregate width, shown by red lines, iig. 2, equal to receive the wedging-key f, figs. 1 and 4.
A binding-piece, g, made ot' any suitable form, is placed over the heels oi' the arms au, and riveted down to thc` pivot d, on which theI said arms a swing.
The said piece y, with the shoulder-of the spike A, lholds thel said arms iirndy between and prevents them from hceling up or down.
The said piece is also further supported and secured by being riveted to the standard h, as shown in figs. l and 3, which standard starts rip-from the shoulder of the spike.
A square hole, c', is made into the said bindingpiece g, directly over the square hole c in the shoulder ot' the spike, and receives the edging-key f.
To operate with this invention, the spike A is driven in its place in the building B.
The wedging-kcyf is drawn from its place when the.clasping-arms u a may he opened, as shown in iig. 2.
When the conductor-pipo C is placed between the arms a, the said arms are thrown together, as 'shown by red lines in g. Z, and are secure-d in position by the. wedging-key f, which is inserted in its place and driven tightly therein,as shown in 1, :hand 4, and when thus placed and driven,the sides ofthe wedgingkey will press against the sides ofthe notches c e, made in the heels of the cla-sping-arms a fr, back of the pivot, and will -throw them ont, while the said clasp-A ing-arms will be thrown together, and will ling tightly the conductor-pipe (Lbetween. 1
The wedging-key j' may have its edges furnished with suoli inclines as will aifect, more or less, the clamp. ing-arms, so that the said.clasping-arms may be made to hug closely pipes of slightly varying diameters, as they are apt to be made varying from the intended size, being either plump or scant.
lIt would not substantially alter the working of the several parts oi' my invent-ion, if one of the clasping- Y arms were'made stift' with the spikegi, while one onlyy should be permitted to swing on thep ivot (l or, instead of both armsswinging on'one pivot, as shown,
lthey could be made to swing, each .on separate and distinct pivots placed on each sident' the centre of thc spike.
If preierred, the key f could be dispensed with, and, as a substitute for the sa1ne,a set-screw, j", working in a lug made on the heel ot'v one of the c lasping-arlns, and against. a lug made on the heel ol' the other, as sho-wn in tig. 5, could be nsed,'which would eii'ect the same results, although not so well preferred as the key, as the liability to rust lwould inconvenience its ready working of thel screw 'it' used,
smeg y Having described my invention, 3.1In combination with the heels 0f the clasping- What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patarms a a, the wedging-key j; holes c and c', substanf ent, is tially as and for the purpose set forth.
