Improvements in Means for Securely and Tightly Holding Smoke-
pipes and Chimney Pots in Chimney Openings.
I, CARI. BAER, of 33, Schwalbacherstrasse, Eltville, on the Rhine, in the Empire
of Germany, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to provide means for securely and tightly hold-
ing smoke-pipes (and chimney-pots) in chimney-openings.
The invention consists of a metal box fitted into the chimney-opening and
having its outer rim turned at right angles and against the surface of the wall,
the inner rim of said box being turned inwardly in the shape of a flange. The
inner surface of the metal box is provided with a plurality of suitably arranged
fat-springs, adapted to bear against and hold the smoke-pipe securely in place
within the metal box, the inner end of said smoke-pipe engaging the in-
wardly turned inner rim or flange of the metal box, when it is inserted into the
latter. In order to secure a perfectly tight joint, a suitable packing may be
inserted between said flange and smoke-pipe end.
