Problems solved by technology

This work is performed overhead with the worker mounted on a ladder, scaffolding or stilts, and is thus a difficult and time-consuming task.
Often times, after the insulation has been installed, portions of the blanket will be torn from the joists by accident or for access to fixtures or other items located above the insulation blanket for connection, repair or inspection.

Embodiment Construction

[0012] With reference to the figures, the invention will now be described in detail with regard for the best mode and the preferred embodiment. In general, the invention is an insulation hanger device that is quickly and easily positioned on adjacent joists or rafters. Joists are generally horizontally disposed boards oriented such that the short longitudinal edges form the top and bottom edges, and are typically 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, 2×10 or 2×12 inches in transverse dimensions. Rafters are similar boards disposed at an incline to form vaulted ceilings or roofs. The joists / rafters are usually mounted at intervals of 16 or 24 inches on center. The insulation hanger device is adjustable to account for the particular size of the joist / rafter encountered. The insulation hanger device is most preferably composed of a relatively rigid plastic.

[0013] The insulation hanger device comprises in combination a generally L-shaped hanger bracket 10 and a generally U-shaped mounting bracket 20, wherein...

Abstract

A hanger for retaining insulation blankets disposed between adjacent joists or rafters, the hanger having an L-shaped hanger bracket received in sliding relationship by a U-shaped mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket is placed onto the joist or rafter and the height of the hanger bracket is adjustable relative to the mounting bracket for proper location of the insulation blanket dependent on the dimensions of the joist or rafter. Cooperating structural components on the mounting bracket and on the hanger bracket retain the hanger bracket in the proper disposition while allowing the relative position to be adjusted with relatively little force. Retention members to retain the insulation blanket and nail apertures for fixation of the hanger bracket without need for the mounting bracket are provided on the hanger bracket.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates generally to the field of hangers, brackets, mounts or like devices, and more particularly to such devices adapted for use with horizontally extending boards such as joists or rafters in building construction, and even more particularly to such devices intended to support horizontally extensive materials such as blanket insulation between the joists or rafters. [0002] In the construction of buildings, and especially in the construction of residential buildings, it is necessary to provide insulation between the ceilings of rooms and the attic in order to prevent heat loss from the occupied rooms in to the attic in the cold months and to prevent heat influx from the attic into the rooms in the warm months. The insulation provides a thermal barrier that significantly reduces heat transfer through the ceiling. The most common forms of insulation used in these circumstances are insulation blankets, which come in batts or roll form...
