The hanger has a hooked upper portion for gripping the upper outer edge of an eavestrough, and an outwardly protruding portion at its lower end with an aperture for receiving the clip of an outdoor light socket.
HANGER FOR OUTDOOR LIGHT SOCKETS attaching outdoor light sockets to eavestroughs, the hanger' comprising: a hooked member including an upper portion, a first downwardly depending portion integral with one end of said upper portion, and a second downwardly depending portion integral withthe other end of said upper portion and thus spaced from said first downwardly depending portion, the second downwardly depending portion being longer than the first downwardly depending portion and having at its lower end a projecting portion extending outwardly remote from the first downwardly depending portion, the projecting portion having an aperture for receiving the clip of an outdoor light socket.
One embodiment of this invention is shown in the accompanying. drawings, of which like numerals denote like parts.
throughout the several views, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a partly broken-away eavestrough to which two hangers are attached, one of which has an outdoor light socket connected thereto; and
H0. 2 is a sectional view through one hanger.
Referring now to FIG. 1, an eavestrough is seen to comprise an innerupstanding wall 12, abottom wall 13, and an outerupstanding wall 14. The outer upstanding wall'l4 is S- curved in vertical section, as shown, and at its upper edge is bent inwardly to form atop wall 16, and downwardly to form alip 17. Theupper portion 18 of the outerupstanding wall 14 is substantially vertical and spaced parallelly from the substantiallyvertical lip 17. Thetop wall 16 is substantially horizontal, so that theupper portion 18, thetop wall 16 and thelip 17 form a substantially rectangular upper outer edge for the eavestrough l0.
anoutdoor light socket 32 into which abulb 33 is screwed.
Twohangers 20 are shown attached to the upperouter edge 19 of the eavestrough. As best seen in theleftward hanger 20, each hanger includes a hookedmember 22 which consists of anupper portion 24, a first downwardly dependingportion 25 and a second downwardly dependingportion 26. The downwardly dependingportions 25 and 26 are integral with theupper portion 24 and spaced from one another. The second downwardly dependingportion 26 is longer than the first downwardly dependingportion 25, and has at its lower end a projectingportion 28 which extends outwardly remote from the first downwardly dependingportion 25. The projectingportion 28 has anaperture 30 which is adapted to receive the clip of an outdoor light'socket.
At the right in the HQ, thehanger 20 has attached theretoElectrical wiring 34 carries power to light the bulb .33; Thesocket 32 is equipped with aclip 36 of the conventional kind, including anattachment portion 38 and a downwardly extendingresilient clip portion 40. Theresilient clip portion 40 extends through theaperture 30 in the projecting portion28 of thehanger 20.
As can be seen particularly in theleftward hanger 20, theaperture 30 is elongated transversely to the direction in which the projectingportion 28 extends. Conventionally, theresilient clip portion 40 is made of a flattened piece ofmetal or plastic, and theaperture 30 is designed to be generally complementary to the horizontal section through theresilient clip portion 40.
lt will also be noted that the hookedmember 22 defines a substantially rectangular recess which is especially adapted to receive theouter edge 19 of theeavestrough 10.
Preferably, thehanger 20 of this invention is manufactured from a weather-resistant material, such as plastic or nonrustwith the least amount of effort. Also, the flare at 44 allows thesocket 32 to be easily removed from the hanger shouldthehanger 20 become frozen onto the eavestrough, because it maintains an open space between the top surface of the projectingportion 28 and theattachment portion 38. It will be appreciated that any similar enlargement at theedge 42 would serve the same purpose.
l claim:
1. An integral hanger for attaching outdoor light sockets to eavestroughs, the hanger comprising: a hooked member including an upper portion, a first downwardly depending portion integral with one end of said upper portion, and a second downwardly depending portion integral with the other end of said upper portion and thus spaced from said first downwardly depending portion, the second downwardly depending portion being longer than the first downwardly depending portion and having at its lower end a projecting portion extending outwardly remote from the first downwardly depending portion, the projecting portion having an aperture for receiving the clip of an outdoor light socket, the outermost edge of said projecting portion being flared in the vertical plane parallel with the direction in which the first and second downwardly depending portions are spaced from each other. i
2. The invention claimed in claim I, in which the aperture is elongated transversely to the direction in which the projecting portion extends.
3. The invention claimed in claim 1, in which the hooked member defines a substantially rectangular recess adapted to receive the outer upper edge of an eavestrough. i g
4. The invention claimed in claim 1, in which the hanger is of nonrusting metal.
5. The invention claimed in claim 1, in which the hanger is of weather-resistant plastic material.
