Complete Specification Left, 9th May, 1891-Accepted, 29th June, 1891
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Securing Stove-pipes in Walls.
I, John Pitt BAYLY, of 18 Fulham Place, Paddington, in the County of
London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communi-
cation to me from abroad by Micheal Feldheiser, of Celena, Ohio, U.S.A.
Inventor) to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to certain new and useful means for securing
stove-pipes to walls at the places where they are passed through apertures in
the said walls, in order to be carried into another compartment, or to the chimney.
The invention comprises a metal band which is firmly secured around the stove-
pipe in a position near to the wall, and which band is formed with a loop. A piece
of flat or other metal has its one end secured to the loop upon the band, and its
other end is passed through the aperture in the wall, and is bent upwards at its
extreme end against the wall.
By this means the stove-pipe is rigidly secured, and cannot move about within
the aperture.

Improved Means for Securing Stove-pipes in Walls.
I, JOHN PITT BAYLY, of 18 Fulham Place, Paddington, in the County of
London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a com-
munication to me from abroad by Micheal Feldheiser, of Celena, Ohio, U.S.A.
Inventor) and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in devices to be
employed for fastening or holding pipes in flues; and it has for its object, among
others, to provide simple, cheap, and efficient device, which may be readily
applied to a pipe, adjusted to suit the thickness of the wall, pipe, or thimble through
which the pipe passes, and firmly hold the pipe against displacement.
AL
Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the
novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claim.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with
the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this Specification, and in
which―
Figure 1 is a top plan showing a section of pipe provided with my fastening.
Figure 2 is a vertical section through the same.
Figure 3 is a cross section through the pipe with the fastening shown in
face view.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A. designates the
wall, through an opening in which the pipe B passes. This pipe may pass
through the opening in the wall either with or without a thimble or bushing a,
although the presence of the bush is preferred. This pipe may be the horizontal
pipe which connects with a vertical pipe b from a stove or other heater, or

page_text: the fastener may be applied to any pipe in any relation where the fastener is
applicable.
It is desirable in the case of stove-pipes to provide some means for preventing
displacement of the pipe, it being well known that such pipes have a natural
tendency to work out of their openings in a wall, especially if the pipe is inclined
downward, as is often the case. I have devised a fastener for this purpose which
in practice has proved most efficient. The construction comprises a band or ring
to encircle the pipe and a spring-arm extending lengthwise of the horizontal pipe
with a catch to engage the rear side of the wall through which the opening is
made.
C designates the encircling band or ring, which, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, is
a flat or round metal band having one end riveted or otherwise secured to the outer
end of the spring metal solid or sectional arm D, the other end of the band or ring
being bent upon itself to form a loop c, as shown best in Fig. 3. This loop is designed
to engage the loop d of the arm D, which loop extends in the general direction of
said arm, as shown in Fig. 2, the end of the loop being turned up, as shown at e,
to prevent displacement of the loop of the band or ring in the direction of the
length of the arm. The free end of this arm is bent outward, as shown in Fig. 2,
to form a stop or catch which will prevent accidental displacement of the pipe
when once in place within the opening.
Any suitable means may be employed for preventing inward movement of the
band or ring on the pipe-such as indenting the pipe from the inside outward-as
shown in Figs. 2 and 3 at f. The manner of application will be readily understood,
and a description thereof is not deemed necessary.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in. what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :
The combination, with the band having one end formed into a loop, of the arm
having one end secured to the other end of the band and formed with a loop
engaged by the loop of the band and having an upturned end, substantially as and
for the purpose specified.
