UNITED TATE PATENT QI FICEQ JOHN HOCKETT, 0F WABASH, INDIANA.
SCREEN-DOOR.
Application filed April '7, 1909.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN HOOKETT, a citizen of the United States, residin at Vv'abash, in the county of l/Vabash and tate of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Screen-Doors, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is an improved non-sagging screen door in which the screen fabric on the door frame is provided with transverse wires disposed obliquely with reference to the sides of the frame and which serve to brace the frame against sagging stress as hereinafter described and claimed, the object of the invention being to provide a screen door in which the transverse wires of the screen fabric are employed to prevent sagging and thus render it unnecessary to provide the door frame with braces. In the accompanying drawing :Figure 1 is an elevation of a screen door constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the same.
Referring to the drawing, the door screen is shown as comprising the inner and outer vertical side members 1 and 2 and the upper and lower cross bars 8 and l, the hinges 5 being applied to the side member 1. In accordance with this invention, the wire screen fabric consists of a series of relatively spaced longitudinal wires 7 having their terminal portions secured to the opposite faces of said upper and lower cross bars 3 and 4 and a series of relatively spaced transverse wires 8, the latter mentioned wires being spaced apart for a distance corresponding to the distance between the said longitudinal wires. Certain of the said transverse wires have one of their terminal portions secured to one of the side members and one of the end members, while the other of said transverse wires 8 have their terminal portions secured to the opposite faces of said side members 1 and 2 whereby disposing the wires 8 obliquely with reference to the door Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 29, 1913.
Serial No. 488,404.
and the latter mentioned wires inclined downwardly and outwardly from the inner side bar 1 of the door frame to the outer side bar 2 thereof, and are connected to said side bars so that the obliquely disposed transverse wires will lie in the lines of sagging stress and hence effectively serve to embrace the frame of the door and pre vent the same from sagging, thus avoiding the use of the well known panel bars.
WVhat is claimed is 2-- The combination with a screen door having side members and end members secured to the side members, of a screen mesh secured to and filling in the space between the opposed faces of said former and latter mentioned members, and consisting of a relatively spaced wire extending parallel with said side members and extending longitudinally throughout the entire length of the door and having their opposite ends secured to the opposed faces of said end members, and a plurality of transverse wires, certain of said transverse wires having their opposite ends secured to one of the side and one of the end members respectively while the other of said transverse wires having their terminal portion secured to the opposed faces of said side members, and disposing the said transverse wires obliquely with reference to the door and in a downwardly and outwardly inclined direction from one of the side members, said transverse wires being spaced apart for a distance corresponding to the distance between the longitudinal wires to lie in the lines of sagging stress, whereby serving to embrace the frame and prevent the same from sagging and thus avoiding the use of the panel bars.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
