Description
Aug. 29, 1939. A. c. MAUS SUPPORTING STRUCTURE FOR PORCELAIN ENAMELED FANS Filed March 30, 1939 INVENTOR -ALBERT C MAUS ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 29, 1939 I UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SUPPORTING STRUCTURE FOR PORCELAIN ENAlIIELED' PAN S Application March 30,
3 Claims.
My invention relates to a supporting structure for porcelain enameled pans, and has for its object, generally, to provide a simple and efficient means for securing such pans to a surface, usually of a building, so that such pans will be retained in fixed position on such surface with the abutting pans in close juxtaposition to each other. These porcelain enameled pans. are ornamental in appearance and are generally employed on the outside of a building, and due to their ornamental efiect they add materially to the appearance of the building. One of the problems in connection with the use of individual pans is to quickly and efiiciently secure them in position on the wall, and to preserve the linear continuity of said pans, both vertically and horizontally. Another factor is to so secure said pans to a wall that each pan may, if desired, be removed quickly and conveniently, and replaced, if damaged, or transported to another location and again mounted in position on the wall of a structure.
My enameled pans are preferably made up in stock sizes of 24" by 24", 12" by 24", and 6" by 24". I have found that this assortment of sizes provides for practically every kind of space on which my pans are to be used. As I employ weatherproofed packing in the joints between the pans, inclemency of the weather does not affect the structure upon which my pans are mounted.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation, partly broken away, to show the latching clip.
Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2--2, Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3-3, Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 44, Fig. 1.
On the wall A of a building structure I mount a series of tracks I in horizontal alinement with each other, and spaced apart the required distance to accommodate the height of the pan structure, hereinafter to be described. It will be understood that all the horizontal lines of pans are, generally, of the same height. Each line of track is. secured to the wall A by screws 2. Each rail I is formed with the central, longitudinal portion 3 extending outwardly from the inner members 4, which members have the flanges 5 integral therewith, and through which flanges the securing screws 2 are passed, said flanges being appropriately apertured to accommodate said screws.
The track I has tongues 6 struck outwardly therefrom with an upturned lip 'I integral therewith. The lips I pass through the two slots 8 in the porcelain enameled pans 9, said slots being in an inturned side edge III of said pans. By this means the lower portion of each pan 9 is held 1939, Serial No. 264,943
securely in place on the track I. The upper inturned side edge II has a single elongated slot as shown at I2 (Fig. 4). The purpose of the slot I2 is to receive the swinging latching clip I3, which is pivotally mounted on the track i by a 5 bolt I I, which passes through a perforation provided therefor in the track I. It will be understood that there are preferably two tongues 6 and two slots 8 for each pan 9, and one latching clip I3 for engaging each pan 9 at about the 10 midway portion thereof.
Each pan 9 is first mounted on the tongues 6, which enter the slots 8, and the top of the pan pressed toward the wall A, then the latching clip I3 is swung downwardly to engage in the slot I2 15 in the pan 9. By this means each pan is securely held in place against the tracks I. When it is desired to remove a pan, the latching clip I3 can be operated by a screw-driver and rotated out of engagement with the slot I2. Thus individual 2 pans may at any time be removed or replaced by a very simple process.
It will be noted that I have produced an attractive and ornamental porcelain enameled pan which can be cheaply and efliciently secured to 5 the wall of a building, and one which can be readily removed from the structure without likelihood of mutilation of the surface of the pan structure.
The pan structures may, by manipulating the 30 latching clip I3, be quickly and conveniently removed, and such pans may be used in another location.
I may apply in the joints between the pans a weatherproofed packing material obtainable on 35 the market, but as this does not constitute any part of my invention I have not illustrated it in the drawing.
I claim:
1. In a device of the character described, a 40 series of sheet metal pans adapted to be ornamentally decorated on one surface thereof, inturned, slotted side edges on said pans, a series of tracks longitudinally alined with each other, tongues on said tracks for entering slots in one 45 of the side edges of said pans for supporting said pans, and a swinging latching clip for entering a slot in another of the side edges of said pans for securely holding said pans in position on said tracks.
2. In a device of the character described, a series of sheet metal pans adapted to be ornamentally decorated on one surface thereof, inturned, slotted side edges on said pans, a series of tracks longitudinally alined with each other, spaced 55 tongues on said tracks for entering slots in one of the side edges of said pans for supporting said pans, and a swinging latching clip for entering a slot in another of the side edges of said pans for securely holding said pans in position on said tracks.
3. In a device of the character described, a. series of sheet metal pans adapted to be ornamentally decorated on one surface thereof, in-
turned, slotted side edges on said pans, a series of tracks longitudinally alined with each other, tongues on said tracks for entering slots in one of the side edges of said pans for supporting said pans, and a swinging latching clip pivotally mounted on said track for entering a slot in another of the side edges of said pans for securely holding said pans in position on said tracks.
