' SAMUEL E. AND JAY JI KERN, (3F FELLOV] CALIFORNIA.

Susana-non HANGEIL To all whom it may concern Be it known thatwafimrrmn E. and JAY J. Hnnn, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Fellows, in thecounty; of Kern, State of California, have invented a new and useful Sucker-Rod. Hanger, of which the following is a specification,

The device forming the subject matter of thisapplioation is adaptedto be employed for suspending sucker rods of the sortconimonly used in connection withwell; and the invention aims to provide novel 'means whereby the sucker rods may be inserted readily into a supporting frame and,

with equal facility, be removed therefrom,

the construction being such that the rodsare suspended by a cam or cams atany point desired, the. rods being so suspended ,;in the hanging device that the collar on the rod will remain at any point desired above the frame, the end in view being to enable a sucker rod elevator to be applied. to the rod under the collar.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the descriptiori proceeds, theinvention resides in the combination and arrangement; of parts and in the detailsof construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what isclairned, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention,

In the accompanying drawings:-

Figure 1 shows in top plan, a device constructed in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 is a front elevation of the, structure shown in Figure 1; Figure 3 is a cross section taken on the line 33 of Figure 1; Figure 4 is a top plan showing modification; Figure 5 is a front elevatioirs'howing a modification; Figureois a front elevation showing a still further modification; Figure 7 is an elevation wherein the structure shown in Figure 6 is viewed endwise; Figure 8 is a top plan showing a modified form of the invention; Figure 9 is a front elevation of the structure shown in Figure 8; Figure 10 is a view similar to Figure 8 but showing a further modification; Figure 11 is an elevation of the structure shown in Figure 10; and Figure 12 is a frag- Annr.

or openings '8 are formedjin thebase 2 and open at one end through one" edge of the base. Portions 9 0f the base 2,01i each side of the slot 8, at said op n end thereof, pro jec't beyond the converging edges 7 of "the notch "6. Retainers 10' are provided, the same being,"if desired, of: circular cross section, and; having their inner edges inilled' orother'wise roughened 'as shown at 11. I At their rear ends,'the retainer-s10 are supplied with shanks 12 which are of rectangular cross St on, the shanks 12 being mounted in openings 5 ofthe' rear flange 3 of the support 1. Securingelements14, such as p ns pass through th'ejslianks l2 to therea'r of the". flange and to hbld retainers in the said flange. "Th'e forward ends'of the" retainers lOYare mount'd to slide" down \vardly' on 'thefconverging edges 7' of the notches 6.

1 The forward extremities of the, retainers 10 preferably'arebeveled, indicated at 15; In practical 'op'eration, the forward ends theretainers 10 are supported on the portions 9 'of the base 2 01? the support 1. A sn cker rod orlike object is inseit'ed' between the retain rs 1Q, the beveled portions 15"of retain facilitating such airoperation. The retainers 1Q rideupwardlyoii the edges 7 of the notches 6 theinsertion of the suck r roe betweenthe retainers, and, after the aifbd has been. n ounted inplace between'the retainers, the retainers tend to slide 'downw rdly along the edges of the notches 6' and grip therod; rod thus ilgisubpi i ciillth l t Fit m nt ep ete ew r li h liifi er of a block 18, is attached to the support 1'? by securing elements 19 and 20, the block or jaw 18 having openings 21 in its ends, defining a central projection 25 which bears against the support 17 The securing element 20 passes through the central projection 25, whereas, the securing elements 19 extend across the openings 21 which exist at the ends of the block or jaw 18. On the securingelements, links 22 are pivoted, the links 22 being united by pivot elements 28 with a movable jaw 24, constructed like the block or jaw 18.

It will be obvious that, when a sucker rod is inserted between the jaws 24 and 18, the jawv 2 1 along with the links 22 will tend to swing downwardly, on the securing elements 19, the sucker rod thus being gripped between the jaws 24k and 18.

It will be obvious that, since the rectangular parts 12 of the retainers 10 are re ceived against rotation the openings 5, the

retainers cannot. rotate on their axes. Consequently, the retainers will preserve their hold on the sucker rod.

Referring to Figure 8 there is shown a trough-shaped support 50 including a base 51, a rear wall 52 and a front wall 53 having a notch 54L defined by' an inclined edge 55 and an edge 56 disposed at right angles to the base 51. An opening 57 is formed in the base 51 and communicates with the notch 5 1. The retainer is indicated at 58 and is beveled at 59 at its outer end, the retainer including a shank 60 mounted in the rear wall52 as hereinbefore described and held in place by a pin 61. In this form of the invention, one of the movable retainers shown in Figures 1 and 4. is replaced by a fixed retainer 62 extended between the walls 53 and 52. l

In Figures 10 and 11, parts shown in Figures 8 and 9 are designated by numerals used in those Fi ures, with the suffix by In this form of the invention, the retainer may be provided with corrugations or teeth 70, these corrugations or, teeth being applied to the movable retainer. The fixed retainer 62 may be provided with teeth 71.

It. has been pointed out hereinbefore that the shanks of the retainers are held against rotation in the rear Wall of the troughshaped support. In case it should be desired to have the shanks of the retainers rotatein the said rear wall, then the construction shown in Figure 12 may be resorted to. In Figure 12, the retainer 82 has cog teeth 83 meshing into the rack 81 formed in the corresponding inclined edge of thenotch in the front wall 80.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In a device of the class described, a I

trough-shaped support including a base, rear wall, and a front wall, the base having an opening, and the front wall having a notch defined by edges which converge downwardly toward the notch; and retainers having their rear ends pivoted to the rear wall, the forward ends of the retainers being slidably mounted on the converging edges of the notch.

2. A device of the class described, constructed as set forth in claim 1 and further characterized by the-fact that the retainers are held in the rear wall against rotation.

3. In a device of the class described, a trough-shaped support including a base, a rear wall, and a front wall, the base having a slot which opens at one end through one edge of the base, and the front wall having a notch defined by edges which converge downwardly toward the slot portions of the base, on each side oft-he slot, at said open end the eof, projecting beyond the converging edges of the notch; and retainers having their rear ends pivoted to the rear wall, the forward ends of retainers slidably [:11 mounted on the converging edges of the notch, and being supported on said portions of the base.

4:. In a device of the class described, a trough-shaped support including a base, a rear wall and a front wall, the base having an opening, the front wall having a notch, one edge of which slants downwardly and inwardly, and retainers extended between the front and rear walls, one retainer being movable and having its forward end slidablv mounted on the said edge of the notch, the rear end of the retainer being n'lounted movably in the rear wall. I

In testimony that we claim the foregoing our own, we have hereto aflixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses. 7
