I RADIAI'OR BRAGKET- I APPLICATION FILED NOV. I8. I920, 1 393 74 Patented m 23, 19221 2 SHEETSSHEET I.

-1n a vertical position irrespective of for the purpose of supporting a radiator 23, the manifolds of which are polygonal in cross section. In all other essential respects, both forms of brackets are the same.

From the foregoing description it Will be apparent that the radiator bracket may be eiiiciently set up by assembling the parts 5, 9, 11 and 16 and hanging the parts 16. and 5 upon the bolt 3, then introducing the bolt into the socket 1. Then the radiator may be hung on the seats 14 of two adjacent brackets and the stay bolt 19, with its Wedgeshaped block, screwed into the portion 17. In view of the fact that the part 16 has swinging movement with respect to the bolt, there can be certain longitudinal play of the radiator in order to get it properly seated, the flexible connections between the members 16, 5 and 3 permitting" a proper, natural seat to be parts, this being, an invention.

Attention is called to the fact that the width of the flange 7 is approximately equal to the thickness of the head 12 so that when the parts are arranged as shown in Fig. 1 with the head resting againstthc wall, the outer edge of the flange 7 and the faces of the stops 21 and 22 will be equal distances from the Wall.

lVhcn, however, the bracket is applied as shown in Fig. 5, with the head against the base board, the suspenion rod Will be inclined outwardly away from the perpendicular, due to the fact that the base board will be interposed between the head and the wall. This will throw the radiator out from the wall a greater distance than according to the construction shown in Fig. 1 and; consequently, the top portion of the radiator will be moved away from the edge of the flange 7. In order to effect a stable construction, I may utilize a sleeve 19, shown in Fig. 6, which may be placed upon the rod or bolt 19 to maintain the radiator the fact that the rod 9 is inclined out of the perpendicular. Then it" the rod 19 is screwed into the projection 17, the-radiator may be clamped between the head on said rod and sleeve to maintain the upper portion of the radiator in clamped, vertical alinement important feature oi the provided for all oi the resting with the bottom of the radiator held by the seat.

t will, therefore, be apparent that the radiator bracket has considerable flexibility and is adapted to efiiciently support radiators of different constructions to suspend them above the floor in an efficient and novel manner, the bracket being capable of being expeditiously set up and taken down, should the occasion demand.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:

.l. A radiator bracket com; sing a bolt a rod swiugingly suspended irom said bolt, a radiator seating bracket on said rod, a vertically swinging tie rod member ont-he bolt, and a radiator engaging tie rod eccentrically engaging said the rod member.

2. radiator bracket constriwtionconsistinp of a laterally swinging, depending rod. a radiatorseating bracket mcmbcr on said rod, a rotatable member, the axis of which is in axial alincmcnt with the pivot of the swinging, rod, and a tie rod connected to said last named bracket and having means for engagement with the radiator.

3. A radiator wall bracket construction comprising a laterally swii'ig'ing, suspended rod, a radiator seat carried by said rod, a member, the axis oi which is in line with the pivot point of the rod, and a radiator engaging means connected to an eccentric. portion of said member, v

radiator wall bracket construction comprising a wall-engaging bolt, a suspended rod carried by said bolt, a' radiator scat on said rod, a rotatable member supported by the bolt and having an eccentrically disposed lug or projection} and a radiator supporting rod for later: l engagement with the lug or projection.

A radiator wall l 'ackct c mstruction comprising a pivot member, a depending rod carried by said member, a radiator seat ,on said rod, a disk mounted on the pivot member and having an oiisct lug. and a laterally projecting radiator-engaging: rod removably engaging said lug.

In testimony whereof l ailix my signature.
