device of this pending application, the-pres ent hanger embodies a stationary vertical bar for anchorage to a roof,- and an eaves trough support adjustably connected with said bar,
' the adjustable connectionbeing such that said 1 1 support snaps into interlocking engagement withthe barwhen adjusted ,to the desired position.
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a hanger of the type 5 above mentioned, which is generally simplified and improved, producing an article which may berather inexpensively manufactured, yet will be efiicient and durable. Y
In carrying out the above end, a further 20 object is to provide a construction which may be formed of metal stampings for convenience of manufacture, said construction however being such as to possess the requisite rigidity.
A still further aim is to provide unique 9 means for securing the eaves trough to the support and holding it in place under spring action so that it. cannot move for instance under the action of wind, causing undesirable noise. v I
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, description being ac complished by reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 v V p Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the hanger illustrating the eaves trough in vertical'section.

The details of construction selected for illustration in the present application, will be specifically described, with the understanding that within the scope of the invention as claimed, variations may be made. I The construction illustrated in Figs. 1 to 10 will first be described and the diii'erences which the other form of'const'ruction possesses, will then be pointed out.
15 denotes a vertical channel metal bar having an angular upper end 16 for anchorage to a roof, said bar being formed, with a longitudinal slot 17 and: with longitudinally spaced teeth 18 along at least one and preferably both edges of the slot. The bar 15 is of resilient metal and the slot 17' provides this bar with parallel longitudinal side members 19 capable of springing for a purpose hereinafter set forth, each member' in the present disclosure being provided with a row of teeth 18. An eaves trough support 20 is adjustably engaged with the bar 15 and-is of novel construction hereinafter described.- This support is shaped to lie tightly against. the bottom of the eaves trough 21,.and the latter is held tightly in place by a spring metal hook 22 hereinafter more fully described. The support 20 is preferably of the detailed construction shown and described below.
Two curved metal strips '28 are secured side by side by spot welding. or the like 24, the curved upper edges of these strips being laterally bent at 25 to provide reinforcing flanges. At their inner and outer. portions, the strips are shaped to provide forwardly and downwardly projecting hooks 26-21 and the upper edge of the former is preferably provided with lateral reinforcing flanges straddling said bar, a lug on said trough-supporting member adapted to enter said slot, momentarily spring said side members apart and then snap into engagement with said side members, and a T-head on said trough-supporting member above said lug, the shank of the T passing slidably through said slot and the head of the T being in slidable and pivotal contact with the rear side of said bar.
3. An eaves trough hanger comprising a stationary vertical resilient bar having a longitudinal slot providing it with resilient side members, the inner edge of at least one of said side members being provided with longitudinally spaced teeth, a trough-supporting memher having means slidably and pivotally engaging said bar, and a lug on said troughsupporting member below said means adapted to enter said slot and engage said teeth,
said lug being shaped to momentarily spring the aforesaid side members apart and to then snap into interlocking engagement therewith.
4. An eaves trough hanger comprising a stationary vertical resilient bar having a longitudinal slot providing it with resilient side members, the inner edge of at least one of said side members being provided with longitudinallyspaced teeth, a trough-supporting member having a T-head, the shank of the T passing slidably through said slot and the head of the T being in pivotal and slidable contact with. the rear side of said bar, and a lug on said trough-engaging member below said T- head adapted to enter said slot and engage said teeth, said lug being shaped to momentarily spring the aforesaid side members apart and to then snap into interlocking engagement therewith.
5. In an eaves trough support, a troughsupporting member having a vertical transverse plate-like portion at its rear end to contact with the front side of a vertical slotted bar, a T-head projecting rearwardly from said member to slidably and pivotally engage of said lugs jointly forming a rearwardly projecting shank, the other reaches being bent laterally in opposite directions from said shank and jointly forming a lug adapted to gage the bar and retain the channel in proper position thereon.
9. In an eaves trough hanger, two metal strips secured sideby side to support an eaves trough, said strips having vertical rear edges and vertical flanges projecting oppositely therefrom to abut the front side of a vertically slotted bar; said rear edges being provided at their upper portions with rearwardly projecting T-shaped lugs whose shanks jointly form a two-ply shank for passage through the bar slot, the heads of said lugs beingfolded substantially upon themselves to form a head to contact with the rear side of the bar; the lower portions of said rear ends of v the strips being provided with L-shaped lugs two reaches of which jointly form a second shank for passage through the bar slot, the other reaches of said L-shaped lugs being bent laterally in opposite directions and jointly fprming a lug adapted to snap into the bar s ot.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.

the slotted bar, and a lug projecting rearwardly from said member to snap into the bar slot, the lug being below the T-head.
6. In an eaves trough hanger, two metal strips secured side by side to support an eaves trough, the rear ends of said strips each having a T-shaped lug, the shanks of said lugs projecting rearwardly side by side to provide a two-ply shank, the heads of said lugs being folded substantially upon themselves to provide a head transverse to said two-ply shank, said two-ply shank and its head being adapt ed for engagement with a vertical slotted bar, said rear ends of said strips having bar-engaging means below said shank and head.
7. In an eaves trough hanger, two metal strips secured side by side to support an eaves trough, the rear ends of said strips be 5 ing provided with L-shaped lugs, two reaches
