PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Clips or Hangers and Heads 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 clips or hangers for rain-water, soil,
stove, and other pipes and has for its object that of improving the method of fixing
pipes to walls or buildings, at the same time removing the hody of the pipe from
the wall or building to prevent the latter being damaged by water in case of leakage,
and to facilitate painting and repairs. This invention also allows of the pipes being
made without ears, thereby simplifying their manufacture. The clips or hangers are
made in any suitable form according to the class of pipe they are intended to support
or carry, and are provided with ears having holes which pass over the head of the
nail or holdfast. These holes are provided on their upper side with slots slightly
larger than the body or shank of the nail or hold fast and similar to those described
and shown in my patent Specifications No. 15038 of 1886 and No. 357 of 1887 ; the
clip or hanger being secured by dropping the slots onto the nails or holdfasts. The
clip or hanger is secured to the pipes by a suitable bolt or bolts, bent or otherwise,
passing through holes or slots in the sides of the clip or hanger and secured in
position by a nut or pin or other equivalents. The position of the bolt or bolts
is such as to remove the pipe from the wall when fixed for the purpose before
described.
This improved clip or hanger is also applicable for carrying all kinds of gutters,
bends, plinths, shoes, and other connections for rain-water, soil, stove, and other
pipes.
In adapting my invention to spout heads I provide the same with ears having
holes and slots similar to those previously described to allow of the same being
dropped onto the nails or holdfasts secured in a joint of the wall or building to
which they are to be attached.
If desired the spout heads may be made without ears and secured to a wall
or building by loose clips and bolts in a similar manner to the pipes.
Dated the 2nd July 1888.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Clips or Hangers and Heads 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 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 clips or hangers for rain-water, soil,
stove, and other pipes and has for its object that of improving the method of fixing
pipes to walls or buildings, at the same time removing the hody of the pipe from the
wall or building to prevent the latter being damaged by water in case of leakage,
and to facilitate painting and repairs. This invention also allows of the pipes being
made without ears, thereby simplifying their manufacture. The clips or hangers are

page_text: In all the figures the same letters are used to indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a front view of one of my improved clips or hangers for carrying or
supporting rain-water, soil, stove, and other pipes without ears-Fig. 2 is a plan of
same Fig. 3 is a side view, and Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of Fig. 1 showing
the manner of securing pipes without ears to my improved clip or hanger.
A is the clip or hanger; B the ears with the holes C sufficiently large to pass
over the head of the nails or holdfasts P driven into a wall or building to carry the
same. The upper side of the hole in each car is provided with the slot D slightly
larger than the body or shank of the nail or holdfast. The nails or holdfasts are
driven permanently or otherwise into a joint of a wall, building, or other pince, after
which the lungers or clips A and their appendages can be hung thereon, which
allows of their reinoval or replacement at will. The clip or hanger A is constructed
to fit the space between the mouldings of the socket of the rain-water or other
pipe G as shown in Fig. 4, or otherwise. After the pipe G has been hung in the
clip or hanger A it is secured in position by the bolt H, which extends across the
backside of the pipe from side to side of the hanger or clip A, and is secured by
the nuts 1. The sides of the hanger or clip A are provided with the slotted holes J
to allow or compensate for various widths and variations in the construction of pipes,
also for the purpose of determining the distance of the backside of the pipe from the
wall. In case it is desired to remove the pipes G to a much greater distance from
the wall than the holt H and slots J will allow, 1 mount loosely on the bolt H the
wedge K, the end of which rests against the backside of the socket of the pipe as
shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, to prevent the pipe G being pushed back against the
wall. This occurs when a long clip or hanger is employed for carrying narrow or
other pipes a considerable distance from the wall or building to clear string or other
courses according to the style of architecture. Fig. 5 is a front view of the
wedge K showing the holes and slot through which the bolt H may be placed
according to the distance the pipe G is to be fixed from a wall or building.
Fig. 6 is a plan of my improved clip or hangor A for round pipes. The bolt H
can be straight, or bent as shown, and is secured in position against the back of the
pipe by the nuts 1. The ears B with the holes C and slots D' are similar to those
described and shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4. In lieu of the bolt H I sometimes
employ the bar or rod 11 with the bent end H* and split pin H³ as shown in Figs. 7
and 8.

page_text: The
Fig. 9 is a plan of my improved angle clip or hanger A constructed to carry and
project pipes from two walls. The bolt H is bent as shown, and extends or clips
round the sides of the pipe next to the walls to project the pipe from the same.
ends of the bolt H are inounted in the slotted holes J in the sides A, and are secured
thereto by the nuts I.
My improved clip or hanger A is equally applicable for carrying bends, plinths,
shoes, and other connections for rain-water, soil, stove, and other pipes.
Fig. 10 is a side elevation of my improved hanger for carrying gutters, and Fig. 11
is a front view of same. The base plato of the hanger A is provided with the hole C
sufficiently large to pass over the head O, and the slot D to sit on the body or stang
of the nail or holdfast P driven in the wall or other place. The gutter M is supported
in the seat N, which may be of any suitable shape or form according to the kind of
gutter to be carried.
Fig. 14 is a front view of my improved clip or hanger for supporting spout heads,
and Fig. 15 is a side view with the clip or hanger in section.
The clip A is similar in construction to that shown and described in Figs. 1, 2, 3,
and 4; the spout head S being held from the wall or building by the bolt H. If
desired the ears B with the holes C and slots D can be cast to the spout head S as
shown in Fig. 16.
Fig. 17 is a plan of the spout head supported by the hangers A and ears B with
the holes C and slots D cast separato and secured to the backside of the spout head
by the bolts T.
Fig. 18 is a plan of a spout head with the ordinary ears Z cast thereon. To
remove the spout head S from the wall the ears Z are secured to the hanger A by
the bolts T. The hanger A is provided with the slotted holes V to allow for any
variation in the centres of the holes in the ears Z as shown in Fig. 19, which is a
front elevation of my improved hanger A with the spout head S removed. This
hanger when attached to the spout head S allows of the latter being fixed or removed
without disturbing the nails or holdfasts P. The holes C and slots D in the ears B
are similar to those before described.
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 [
claim is :
1. The use and construction of the clips or hangers A with the ears B containing
the holes Cand slots D to allow of the nails or holdfasts P being secured permanently
or otherwise in a joint or otherwise of the wall or building to which they may be
fixed, and to facilitate removal and replacement of the clips or hangers A and their
appendages at will, substantially as described and as shown on the drawings in
Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 14, and 15.
2. In combination with the clips or hangers A the use of the bolts H and nuts I
or their equivalents for the purpose specified.
3. Constructing or providing spout heads with the projections A and ears B-cast
to or otherwise--and provided with the holes C and slots D for the purpose of
removing the body or back of the spout-head from the wall, and to allow of the nails
or holdfasts P being secured permanently or otherwise in a joint or otherwise of
the wall or building to which they may be fixed, and to facilitate removal and
replacement of the spout-head at will, substantially as described and as shown on the
drawings in Figs. 16 and 17.
4. The use and construction of the hanger A with the ears B, holes C, slots D
and V for carrying spout-heads with ears cast on, or other articles, substantially
as described and shown on the drawings in Figs. 18 and 19 for the purpose
specified.
5. For carrying gutters and the like the use and construction of hangers A with
the holes C and slots D in the base plate, to allow of the nails or holdfasts P being
secured permanently or otherwise in a joint or otherwise of the wall or building to

page_text: which they may be fixed, and to facilitate removal and replacement of the hangers A
and their appendages, substantially as described and as shown on the drawings in
Figs. 10 and 11.
