IMPROVBD EAVS-TROUGH BRACKET.

@lgr tlgemle rfemt in in time itt-ttm ntmt mit making nrt uf tige samt TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that Ig, Jem# MARSHALL, of Hartland, in the county of Livingston, und State of Michigan, have inven ted a. new and useful improvement in Reves-Trough Holders; and Ido hercbT declare thatthe following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will eno-'ole others skilleiiin theart toA make and use thc same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, fermingpnrt oi' this specification. i

This invention relates to a-n improvement in eaves-trough holders, and consists in im arrangement of metal .straps and ties by which the trough is hindered fromrrisingoutof its sent, and kept securely in place. In the accompanying drewings- V V Figure 1 is a transverse section of ea\'estrough attached to roof', and with my holderin piace; and

Figure 2 is n ba-ck view of` brackets and brace. i i

Similar letters of rference indicate like ports. i

A is the roof-board; B, the friezc-bonrd; C, a bruce of hoop or other iron, which muy he made in one piece with the bracket D, or of a separate piece, secured to the frioie-hoztrd by nails, pegs, or screws at c c. E is another bracket, adapted to any angle of the hoard, also-secured to the boa-rd utc, and to the bracket D at d. F is n lip or strap of metni, turned over the trough Gr to prevent it from rising ont of place. The strep H, of hoop iron .or other suitzihle material, is shaped to the trough; und, when made of iron, is covered with the tin strap I to protect it from corrosion. K is a. bra-ce or strap of tin or other suitable material, passing up the trough `from its lowest point, over its out-er edge, toV the roof-board, where it is secured with nails, or in any :appropriate manner; A bolt, L, passes through I H, the inner fold of F, through andi?, bolting them securely together. Another bolt, Z, passes through the horizontal portion of brnoket D, securi'ngitandstraps K, H, and I firmly together. I 1 i j i i The advantages of' my improved holder are greater soiidity and greater ease in fixing and removing the trough. i 5 Y The holders can he set in pince in the eaves, and the trough soldered together till the requisite length is obtained, `and then set bodiljr in place, and secured by tightening down the l-ip F, and folding over and nailing or otherwise securing the strap K to roof.

What I elnim as new, `and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i rlhe brackets D and E, in combination with the strap H vend the strap K, folding over the trough, and securing it tothe roof, substantially as and for the purposes-described.

JOHN MARSHALL.
