My invention relatesto a labor saving and safety device for building purposes, more particularly a portable roofing holder for holding a quantity of shingles in a position 5 on a roof or wall where it is readily accessible at all times for the carpenter or other person working on a building. The features and advantages of my device will be further set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my device as set up for use on a sloping roof.
Fig. 2 is a vertical side or edge view of I5 my devicein use on a vertical wall.
Fig.3 is a side view of the device collapsed. l I
Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, my device comprises a main platform 2 or base preferably made entirel of metal strips of which are a number 0 longitudinal parallel runners of bar stock all curved upwardly as at 5C at their front ends and the rear ends of the outer two bent downwardly each to form a prong of 5P. The front and rear end parts of said runner members are connected by cross bars 6 secured to said bars by suitable means such as rivets 7 preferably countersunk. 8 are suitable angular braces secured as with rivets 9 to the runners to hold the base rigid. Both the braces 8 and crossbars6 are preferably fixed on top of the runners the former extending rearwardly and fixed at horizontally registering points sli htly rearward of is a cross brace the center of the base. 6 similar to braces 6 and located rearward of the rear ends of braces 8. 10 are bearing brackets fixed on brace 6X and their bearing 4 parts aligned to receive and retain a pivot.
15 are L-shaped brackets fixed to the top side of the outer bars 5 and near their rear ends. The upright arm of each bracket 15 has one end of a bracebar 16 pivotally se- 5b cured to it as at 17. Each said brace 16 is thus adapted to swing in. a plane vertically over its base bar 5, the free end being bifurcated as at 1613 to straddle a bolt 18 in the outer adjacent bar 12 of thepivoted bracket of my device and a thumb-screw 19 on the bolt secures the said brace 16, removably, to the pivoted bracket to hold the latter at right angles to the base. 20 are a number of apertures in the front or upper cross brace 6 of the base and through which nails 21 may be driven into a wall 22 as in Fig. 2 to hang the entire device on the wall. In this use of my device a number of shingles, represented by the quadrangular dotted outline 23 inFig. 2, are laid on the pivoted bracket which is in a horizontal plane and such shingles are readily available to workmen utting shingles ona wall, the prongs 5P sticking into the wall and holding the device rigid.
he most useful application of my device is on the slope of a roof on which shingles are to be laid. a
Fig. 1 shows the device with its base in an an ular plane as on a roof and it will be un erstood that the prongs 5P are driven lightly into the roof boards (not shown) to hold the device. Shingles in any suitable quantities are retained between said base and the bracket. When an area of roof has been shin led close up to the device it can be readily moved up or down on the slope by simply raising the pronged end and skiddinglthe device to the desired new position on t e curved front end parts 50 of the base members 5.
In Fig. 3 the device is shown colla sed, the bracket simply being disconnected rom braces 16 and laid down on the base, and then said. braces 16 laid down to resting position. The device is thus in a very compact form and can be carried or shipped from one location to another.
I claim:
1. In a portable roofing holder a quadrangular base with arallel skid bars turned upwardl at their ront ends and a number of said ars bent downwardly and pointed at their rear ends, a quadrangular frame pivotally mounted transversely on said base and intermediate its ends, said frame adapted to be raised vertically with relation to the base and means for holding said frame in its upright position, said latter means comprising a number of brace bars each pivot ally mounted withone end to the rear part of thebase and adapted to removably engage the upperor free edge portion of said frame with its free end, and means securing each said brace t0 the 'frame.
2. The structure specified in claim 1 in 5 which the free end of each brace is bifurcated,
and said securing means comprises a rearwardly'projecting bolt fixed in said frame,
7 said bifurcated end adapted to straddle the bolt; and a thumb-nut on said bolt for clamping the bifurcated part ofthe brace to the 0 frame when the brace is in forwardly and upwardly inclined position and the pivoted frame is in a plane at right angles to the plane of the base.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
