FREDERICK FOURNIER, OF PONTIAC, MICHIGAN.

WEATHER-STRIP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 749,897, dated January 19, 1904.

Application filed April l, 1903. Serial No. 150,572. (No model.)

To ali whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK FOURNIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pontiac, in the county of Oakland and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WeatherStrips, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in weather-strips; and it consists in the construction of a weather-strip formed of a base-strip or molding and a spring-tongue thereon adapted to be secured to one part and to have contact with the other part of the window or door and the frame, so as to make a tight joint between the frame and the window or door.

Figure l is a section through a window sash and frame, showing my weather-strip applied to the sash. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the spring-tongue applied to the window-stop. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are sections through a portion of a door with my weather-strip applied in slightly-different ways.

A represents the frame of a window, and B and C the sashes; D, the parting-strip, and E one of the stops. Upon the stop E and beside the sash B is secured a base-strip or molding F, which has secured to it the springtongue G. This spring-tongue is continuous through the length of the sashes B and is preferably provided with an integral securing portion H. I also preferably form integral with it the flange I, which engages in a groove or notch J in the outer face of the base-strip or molding.

The base-strip or molding F is secured in such relation to the Window that the springtongue is under tension and presses tightly against the side of the sash, forming a tight joint excluding the cold and dust, and at the same time presses the sash against the parting-strip D, which prevents rattling and also tends to make it tight to prevent the ingress of cold and dust.

In Fig. 2 I have shown the base-strip or molding F as forming the stop, and in this case it makes a combined weather-strip and stop. y

In Fig. 3 I have shown the weather-strip comprising the base-strip or molding F and the metallic portions H and G secured to a door K. The weather-strip is secured in such position that when the door is closed against the stop L the spring-tongue G will press tightly against the stop. I may, however, as shown in Fig. 4, secure the weather-strip to the stop L and place the spring-tongue stop against the door in the closed position thereof, or I may secure the weather-strip as shown in Fig. 5, the stop L being dispensed with.

What I claim as my invention isl. The combination of a base-strip, a springtongue projecting across the side of said strip and a securing portion secured to the outer face of said strip as and for the purposes described.

2. The combination of a base-strip or molding F of the spring-tongue G extending along one side thereof and the securing portion H extending across and secured to the outer face of the molding, the ange I at the edge of said securing portion entering a slot or recess in the face of the molding.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FREDERICK FOURNIER.
