Abstract
A hanger with an integral U shaped clamping device for attachment to a metal support of a screened enclosure. The clamping device includes one resilient lined sidewall of which is movable by means of a hand-operated screw in order to clamp the hanger to the support. The resilient interior walls of the clamp provide a solid yet non-damaging surface area to hold the hanger securely to a vertical support structure of a screen enclosure.
Description
- This invention relates to an improved hanger for a container that holds flowers, plants, and similar items, and more particularly to a hanger for attachment to a metal stanchion such as a vertical support for a screened enclosure.
- In the prior art there are a number of hangers for suspending above the ground containers for flowers, plants, and the like. While generally satisfactory, they are not satisfactory for use in enclosures supported by a metal frame, such as screened enclosures commonly referred to as a lanai.
- An object of this invention is the provision of an improved hanger that can be attached to a frame member without damaging the member.
- Briefly, this invention contemplates the provision of a hanger with an integral U shaped clamping device for attachment to a metal support of a screened enclosure. The clamping device includes one resilient lined sidewall of which is movable by means of a hand-operated screw in order to clamp the hanger to the support. The resilient interior walls of the clamp provide a solid yet non-damaging surface area to hold the hanger securely to a vertical support structure of a screen enclosure. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hanger and clamp comprise a single plastic piece with a cantilevered arm extending from the top of the clamp and a brace that supports the arm extending from the bottom of the clamp upward to the arm.
- The objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention are apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended claims and attached drawings.
-
FIG. 1 side view of a hanger in accordance with the teachings of this invention attached to a vertical metal frame member of an enclosure, such as a screened enclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a top view of the clamp portion of the hanger shown in Figure with parts shown in section. - Referring now to the drawings, the hanger is comprised of a U shaped
clamp 12 with anupper cantilever arm 14 extending from the top of the clamp and abracing strut 16 extending from bottom of the clamp upwardly to engage thearm 14. Thearm 14 terminates in adownward hook 18 from which a basket orcontainer 20 may be hung. These components of the hanger are preferably made from a single integral plastic piece. As best shown inFIG. 2 , the interior wall ofclamp 12 is lined on onesidewall 23 and on theback wall 25 with aresilient material 22, such as rubber. Ascrew 24 is screws into theother wall 26 so that one end of the screw engages aplastic pad 28. Aknob 29 attached to the other end of thescrew 24 is sufficiently large that it can be easily turned by hand. Holes in theplastic pad 28 acceptguide pins 30 secured to wall of the clamp. - In operation, as the
screw 24 is tightened, thepad 28 forces the wall of the rectangular structural member 32 (shown inFIG. 1 ) into tight engagement with the resilient material onsidewall 23, thus locking the hanger in place without damage to thestructural member 32. It will be noted the hanger can be removed by rotating thescrew 24 in the opposite direction.
Claims (3)
1. (canceled)
2. A hanger as in claim 3 wherein said pad is attached to said other sidewall by pins extending from said other sidewall.
3. A hanger to be attached to and to be supported from a structural member comprising in combination: a U-shaped clamp with an integral arm extending at one end from the top of said U-shaped clamp and terminating at its other end in a hook; an integral strut extending from the bottom of said U-shaped clamp so that said strut engages said arm with said hook curving inward toward said strut to allow a container to be suspended from said hook; said U-shaped clamp including a resilient material on one side wall interior; and a movable pad and screw attached to an opposite side wall so that when the screw is tightened the pad moves in order to secure the hanger to the structural member without damaging it.
