waited 51am HENRY W. WICKER., 0F NORWICH, CONNECTICUT.
Letters Patent No. 106,757, (lated August 23, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN WEATHER-STRIPS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same I, HENRY W. WICKER, of Norwich, in the county of New London and State of Connecticut, have in-- vented certain'Improrements in \Veather-Strips, f
which the following is a specification.
The nature of my invention consists in a foot-plate of a weather-strip, provided with a st-rengthening-rod, which acts as a weight for raising the front edge of the foot-plate, and provided with a spring peculiarly arranged for giving a lateral movement to said plate, and also provided with' a guide for depressing the frontv edge of said plate, as more fully hereinafter shown land described.
In the drawing- Figure lrepresents aver-tical section of my invention.
Figure 2 is a horizontal section.
Figure 3 is a view, showing the hinge and spring.
a represents the frame of the door.
b is the door.
c is the threshold.
l is the curved plate attached to the door, as shown in figs. 1, 2, and 4. A
e is tbe foot-plate. This is made preferably of sheet metal, and the back edge is strengthened by a round rod, f, running its entire length, the edge ofthe plate being bent around it, as shown in figs. l and 4. This rod also acts as a weight to hold the foot-plate in a horizontal position while the door is open, (see g. 4.)
The foot-plate works upon the hinges hv and h', and is held in place by the staples gand g".
j is a spiral spring, coiled around the pin z', (said pin forming part of the hinge h3) and pressing the. staple g", thus holding the end ofthe foot-plate against the frame at a'.
By opening and closing the door the plate will rnove laterally upon the hinges, and thereby allow the" use of allonger plat-e than could be used it' worked upon ordinary hi'n'ges without lateral motion. v
7.'. is a .'uidmfastened to the frame in such a' inanner that in closing the door said guide will carry the front edge of the foot-plate down upon the threshold, in which position the apparatus will effectually exclude dust, rain, and cold.
-I claim as my invention- The plate c, hinged as shown, and provided with the spring j acting against thev staple g", and also provided ith the rod j', said rod acting as a weight for raising the front edge of the plate c, and at the saine time strengthening said plate, the above being cornbined with the plate d andthe guide k, and constructed arranged, and operated in the manner substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes specified.
