Adjustable hot pipe bracket
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     In the roofing industry it has been the practice to pump hot tar from tar kettles to roofs through pipes which have been tied to access ladders. This practice unduly exposes workers to burns through contact with such hot tar pipes. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The principal object of the invention is to provide an adjustable parapet mounting bracket support for a universally mounted hot pipe clamping ring. 
     A further object of the invention is to provide such a mounting bracket with roller guide means for a rope pull for the kettle tar value. 
     Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawing forming part of this specification.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     The mounting bracket system of the invention comprises angle member 10, sleeve members 12 welded thereto, pipe members 14 supported by sleeve members 12, flange members 16 secured to pipe members 14, set screws 17 to lock the pipe members 14 to the sleeve members 12, a U-shaped guide 18 secured to angle member 10 provided with a roller element 20, and a hose clamp 22 having a universal connection with stem element 24 which is pivotally mounted on pin 26 carried by support elements 28 welded to angle member 10. The hose clamp 22 comprises clamping members 30 and 32, pivot pin 34, and releasable fastening means 36. 
     The hot pipe support bracket is attached to any given size of parapet 38 which may be encountered by disposing angle 10 and flange element 16 in clamping relation to the sides of the parapet and tightening the set screws 17. 
     The hot tar pipe 40 is then secured within clamp 22. 
     The tar valve control rope 42 is then passed through the guide 18 over the roller 20. 
     The subject adjustable hot pipe bracket provides for a safer and more positive fastening of hot pipes to buildings as they extend from tar kettles to roofs.
