Improvements in Hangers, Nails, and Holdfasts for Rain-water,
Soil, Stove, and other Pipes, which are also Applicable for
other Purposes.
I, JAMES GREGSON of 17 Bath Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Decorator,
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in hangers, nails, and holdfasts for rain-
water, soil, stove, and other pipes, which are also applicable for other purposes, and
has for its object that of improving the method of fixing pipes, rails and rods, or
other articles to walls or buildings to dispense with the present system of drilling and
plugging. In constructing metallic hangers on my improved principle the bottom end
of the hanger is bent in form, and is provided with a number of holes to compensate
for the varying lengths or depths of joints in brick and stone walls. The upper end
of the hanger is provided with holes which allows them to pass over the head of the
nail or holdfast. These holes are connected on their upper side with slots slightly
larger than the body or shank of the nail or holdfast; the hanger being secured by
dropping the slots onto the nail or holdfast. By this arrangement the nail or holdfast
can be secured permanently into the wall or building, which will allow of the removal
or replacement of the hanger at will.
The metallic hanger can be of any suitable design and thickness, provided with
distance pieces to remove the U part from the face of the wall, thereby removing the
article being carried from the wall with its detrimental effects.
When the hanger is employed for carrying rain-water and other pipes the ears
are placed in the U end and secured by wood, or other pegs to prevent lifting.
In constructing nails for this purpose 1 provide the body or shank with a circular
or other distance piece, against which the article being secured is placed, the latter
being secured by placing an open sided washer in a slot or recess in the outer end of
the body or shank, the washer being secured by compression with a pair of nippers or
their equivalents. The distance piece is provided to remove articles being hung from
the face of the wall for the purpose before described.

I, JAMES GREGSON of 17 Bath Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Decorator,
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention 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 improvements in hangers, nails, and holdfasts for rain-

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my improved hanger for carrying rain-water,
soil, stove, and other pipes-Fig. 2 is a plan of same-Fig. 3 is a part sectional
elevation through line A. B, and Fig. 4 is a section through line C. D in Fig. 1.
The metallic hanger E is constructed in U form as shown in Fig. 2 for the
purpose of removing the pipe G, hung thereon, from the wall. The face of the
hanger is provided with the holes H, through which the bolts I pass to secure the
pipe G thereto.
The ears or distance pieces J are provided with the holes K slightly larger in
diameter than the head of the nail or holdfast L. The upper end of the holes K
terminate in the slot M slightly larger than the shank of the nail or holdfast Lon
which the hanger is supported from the wall.
By this arrangement the nails or holdfasts L can be secured permanently in a
joint in a wall by which the present system of drilling and plugging will be dispensed

page_text: with; the hanger being secured by simply dropping the slots M onto the nails or
holdfasts L, which will allow of the removal or replacement of the hanger and its
connections at will. An important feature of this invention is that it is equally
applicable for carrying existing rain-water pipes, by which they will be removed from
the wall to facilitate painting, repairs, and prevent the damaging of the wall by water
through leakage.
To prevent the hanger E and its appendages being tampered with or lifted the hole K
is plugged with wood or other suitable substance.
Fig. 5 is a front elevation of a rain-water, soil, stove, or other pipe with the hanger
or ears J provided with the holes K and slots M to facilitate fixing and removal as
well as that of allowing the nails or holdfasts being secured permanently in a joint in
the wall to which it is to be fixed.
Fig. 7 is an elevation of my improved hanger for fixing rods, rails, or other articles
to walls or buildings to dispense with the present system of drilling and plugging, and
Fig. 8 is a side elevation of same.
The hangers E are provided with the holes K and slots M, and are fixed and secured
in a similar manner to that described in Fig. 1. The bottom end of the hanger E is
bent inform to receive the rod P, the latter being secured by the pins
holes R.
in the
Fig. 9 is a plan of the rain-water pipe G secured to a wall or building by my
improved nail or holdfast S.
The body or shank of the nail or holdfast S is provided with the loose circular or
other distance piece T to remove the articles being hung from the face of the wall for
the purpose before described, and against which are placed the ears J of the pipe G ;
the latter being secured by placing the washer V in the slot or recess W in the outer
end of the body or shank of the nail or holdfast S. The washer V is provided with
the hole K to pass it over the end of the naii or holdfast S and to allow the slot M to
drop into the recess W as in Fig. 10. The lower end of the hole K is provided with
the tongue, as in Fig. 11, which after being fixed in position on the nail or hold-
fast is bont by a pair of nippers or their equivalents as in Fig. 12 to secure it into
position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The use and construction of the hanger E with the ears J for the purpose of
removing the body of the pipe G or other articles carried thereby from the wall, the
cars J being provided with the holes K and slots M to allow of the nails or holdfasts L
being secured permanently or otherwise in a joint of the wall or building to which
they may be fixed and to facilitate removal and replacement at will, substantially as
described and as shown on the drawings in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4.
2. The use and construction of the hanger E with the holes K and slots M, substan-
tially as described and shown on Figs. 7 and 8.
3. The use and construction of the hangers or ears J with the holes K and
slots M for carrying the pipe G, substantially as and for the purpose set forth and
as shown in Fig. 5.
4. The use and construction of the nail or holdfast S with the recess W, the distance
piece T, and washer V, substantially as described and shown on the drawings in
Figs. 9, 10, 11, and 12.
