Definitions

• My invention relates to an improvement in the class of adjustable chimneys; and my objects are to simplify the structureV by avoiding any elbow -joint in the stovepipe leading to the chimney,which is objectionable in tending to obstruct the draft and affording lodgment to soot, to better adapt the roof-plate to be adjusted for securing the required erect position of the stack, and to better adapt the roof-plate to shed rain from the opening in the roof through which the stack extends.
• FIG. l is a perspective view showing a chimney equipped with my improvements in the form provided to permit the application of the chimney in erect perpendicular position to the apex or ridge of a sloping roof, a broken portion of which is represented.
• Fig. 2 is a section taken at the line y 2 2 on Fig. l and viewed in the direction of the arrows.
• Fig. 3 is a section taken at the line 3 3 on Fig. 1 and viewed in the direction of the arrows.
• Fig. 3l1 is an enlarged broken perspective View showing details of construction of the hinged sectional form of the roof-plate and parts con-V nected therewith.
• A denotes the upper part of the pipe of a stove, not shown, but supposed to be located in a building B of any of the varieties commonly provided along railroads for sheltering gatemen and other employees, the sloping roof of the building being represented at C.
• the pipe A ⁇ projects through an opening o in the roof-apex.
• Fig. 3 where they overlap, and being pivotally connected together to hinge them, as shown at o, the pivots e: also passing through theadjacent sidesof the shield c to hinge the stack and roof-plate together. members of a corresponding pair of the flanges e are thus hinged together, one should be off' set, as represented at t in Fig. 3, to produce a flush joint.
• the flanges e form a shield H to be overlapped by the shield c.
• the plates d are adjusted about the apical opening a in the roof to extend over the shingles about the opening and with the lower portions of the flanges e abutting against the shingle ends about the roof-opening, as shown.
• the stack carrying the pipe A is fastened in erect position by bolts g g, shown hooked at their lower ends to engage with eyes g onthe plates (Z and passing at their upper threaded ends through perforated lugs g2, projecting from sides of the shield c adjacent to recesses 7L in the edges of the flange b, where the bolts are adjustably fastened at opposite sides lof the perforated ears by nuts g3 g4.
• the roofplate may be pivotally adjusted to extend the stack vertically from the roof at any angle to Where theA In plac- IOO a pipe leading from a stove in the building and connecting with the pipe A at its lower end by loosening the nuts and turning the stack, as required, crosswise of its vertical axis withoutdestroying the overlapping relation of the shields c and H, which would ex pose the opening a to the ingress of rain, snow, and the like, and without destroying the overlapping relation of the bealfsff, with a similar effect, the immediate purpose of the beaks being to extend the shielding of the opening a at the roof-apex, over which the overlapping beaks join the ends of the plate-sections d d of the roof-plate.
• a roof-plate formed of hinged sections to straddle a roof-apex about the chimney-opening therein and having an upward projecting sectional shield, and a downward-projecting shield extending about the chimney, said chimney and roof-plate being fastened together and relatively adjustable with said shields overlapping one another, substantially as and for the purpose described.
• a roof-plate formed of character set forth, a roof-plate formed of hinged sections to straddle a roof-apex about the chimney-opening therein and having an upward-projecting sectional shield, mutually overlapping end-closed curved beaks joining the roof-plate sections across the roof-apex beyond the sides of said shield and a downward-projecting shield extending about the chimney, said chimney and roof-plate being fastened together and relatively adjustable with said shields overlapping one another, substantially as and for the purpose described.
• a roof-plate formed of hinged sections to straddle a roof-apex about the chimney-opening therein and having an upward-projecting sectional shield mutually overlapping end-closed curved beaks joining the roof-plate sections across the roof-apex beyond the sides of said shield, a flange extending about thel chimney and a shield depending from said flange, said chimney and roof-plate being fastened together and relatively adjustable with said shields overlapping one another, substantially as and for the purpose described.
• a roof-plate formed of two three-sided sections each having flanges crossing their inner edges with their ends overlapping one another across the roo f-apex and pivotally connected together, said flanges forming an upward-projecting shield, mutually overlapping end-closed curved beaks joining the roof-plate sections adjacent to the pivotal connections of said fianges, a fiange extending about the chimney, and a shield depending from said fiange, said chimney and roof-plate being adjustably pivoted and bolted together and said shields overlapping one another, substantially as and for the purpose described.
