Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed November 18, 1912.
Patented May 19, 1914.,
Serial No. 731,136.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, O'rro N].E1\IANN,L citizen of the United States, residing at San lifarcos, in the county of Hays and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Doors, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to doors and has for an object to provide a door that can be socured in either open or closed position either from the exterior or interior of the building on which the door is mounted.
The invention relates more particularly to doors for use on automobile garages and the like, and in which it is desired to operate the door either to open or close the same from either the interior or exterior of the building by means of suitable cords conveniently arranged so that the operator need not remove himself from the vehicle or antomobile in order to swing the doors into the desired position.
In the further disclosure of the invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, constituting a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view looking at the front of a building, showing the door sections in open and locked position; Fig. 2 is a plan view, parts being broken away to disclose the underlying structure; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2, the door sections being shown in closed and locked position; and Fig. 1 is a rear elevation of the door, the door sections being shown in closed position.
Referring more particularly to the views, 1 disclose a building 10 having a front side 11 forming a door casing 12, a plurality of door sections 13 and 14 being mounted to swing on the casing 12 to close an entrance 15 to the building 10. Located a distance from the door casing 12 on the outer sides thereof is a pedestal 16 which has secured to and supported thereupon the upright 18, this uprigl'itis connected to one side of the door casing 12 by the horizontal cross piece 17. The door sections 13 and 14: are adapted to swing simultaneously by means of a rod 19 having rigid connection with the door section 13 and having pivotal connection at its free end with a second rod 20, the said second rod having pivotal connection with r the door section 14; It will now be seen that when one door section, as, for instance, the door section 13, is swung into either open or closed position, the other door section 1 1 will swing simultaneously with the door section 13 and will at all times assume a position similar to the doc-r section 13, being simultaneously operable therewith, as mentioned heretofore.
A locking bar 21 is arranged in a chamber 22 in the door section 13 and is slidablc therein, with an end of the locking bar normally arranged to project beyond an edge of the door section 18 by an expansiblo spring 23 placed within the chamber 22 and abutting against the rear end of the locking bar as shown, the outward movement of the locking bar being limited by a pin 24 passing entirely through the locking bar 21, with the ends thereof projecting and operable in slots 25, it being readily understood that when the pin 24 reaches the forward ends of the slots 25 the locking bar 21 will be in its outermost position.
A. spring actuated dog 26 is mounted to swing on the door casing 12 at substantially the medial portion thereof and is provided with an inclined edge 27 over which the locking bar 21 is adapted to ride when the door sections 13 and 14 are swung into closed position, the dog 26 being then swung against the action of the spring 26 engaging the same, after which the dog 26, actuated by the spring engaging the same, will secure the locking bar 21 in a notch 28 in the dog, thus retaining the door sections 13 and 14 in closed and locked position. A second dog 29, similar to the dog 26, is mounted on the cross piece 17 and is pref-. erably weighted to secure the door section 13 when the locking bar 21 engages the dog, as mentioned heretofore, and is also adapted to engage and secure the locking bar 21 in order to retain the door sections 13 and 1-1 in open and locked position, as shown in Fig. 1.
A lever 30 is mounted to swing at its medial portion on the door section 13 and is preferably arranged to swing in a notch in the door section so as not to interfere with the proper closing or opening of the door section and a cord 31 is connected to the pin or secured to the locking bar 21, and to one end of the lever 30, a second cord 32 being connected to the same end of the lever 30 and having connection with the lower end of a lever 83, similar to the lever 80 mounted to swing on the door casing 12, within the building 10, a cord 34 being connected to the same end of the lever 33 and passing over a suitable roller 35 journaled on a bracket 36 secured within the building 10, the free end of the cord terminating in a handle 3'? depending adjacent one of the walls of the building and within the same. Assuming that the door sections 13 and 14 are in open and locked position as shown in Fig. 1, when the handle 37 is grasped and a pull exerted thereon, the lever 30 will be actuated to impart a pull to the cord 31, thus actuating the locking bar 21 against the expansible action of the spring 33 and moving the projecting end of the locking bar within the chamber 22, thus disengaging the locking bar 21 from the dog 27 so that a continued pull on the handle 37 will result in the door section 13 and likewise the door section 14 swinging inwardly toward the door casing 12 and moving into closed position relatively to the casing to close the entrance 15 to the building 10, it being further seen that when the door sections 13 and 14 have been swung into closed position as mentioned and the pull 011 the cord 37 is released, the locking bar 21 will again spring into normal position and project from an edge of the door section 13, thus engaging the dog 26 and locking the door sections 13 and 14 in closed position. A cord 38 is connected to the other end of the lever 30 and after passing over a roller 39 j ournaled on a bracket 40 secured to the door casing 12 exteriorly of the building 10, the cord passes through an opening 41 in the door casing and passes over a roller 42 journaled on the bracket 36, the said cord being then arranged to depend and provided with a suitable handle 43 adapted to normally depend adjacent the handle 37 and within the building 10. A cord 44 is also connected to the other end of the lever 30 and has connection with the outer end of the pin 24 so that when it is desired to move the door sections 13 and 14 into open and locked position, first releasing the same from closed and locked position, and from within the building 10, the handle 43 is grasped and a pull exerted thereon, thus moving the locking bar 21 within the chamber 22 and disengaging the locking bar from the dog 26, after which a continued pull on the mentioned handle 43 will result in an outward swinging movement of the door sections 13 and 14 and at the moment the pull on the handle 43 is released the locking bar 21 actuated by the spring 23 will return to normal position and extend outwardly from an edge of the door section 13 to engage the dog 29 and lock the door sections 13 and 14 in open position.
The door sections 13 and 14 are in open position and in order to permit of easily closing the same from the exterior of the building 10, a cord 45 is connected to the upper end of the lever 33 and passing through an opening 46 in the door casing 12, passes over a roller 47 journaled on a bracket 48 secured to the upright 18, the said cord 45 being provided with a suitable handle 49 depending adjacent the upright 16, as shown. Now when a pull is exerted on the handle 49, the upper end of the lever 33 will be swung forwardly, thus exerting a pull on the cord 32 having connection with the lever 30 and the inner end of the lever will thus be swung rearwardly to exert a pull on the cord 31 and move the lockin bar 21 against the action of the spring and within the chamber 22, thus disengaging the locking bar 21 from the dog 29, after which a continued pull on the handle 45 will cause the door sections 13 and 14 to swing into closed position, the pull on the handle 49 being then released in order to permit the locking bar 21 to return to normal position and engage the dog 26 and lock the door sections 13 and 14 in closed position. Now in order to move the door sections 13 and 14 into open position from the exterior of the building 10, use is made of a cord 50 having connection with the outer end of the lever 30 and passing over a roller 51 journaled on the bracket 40, the said cord 50 being then extended forwardly to pass over a roller 52 j o-urnaled on a bracket 53 secured to the upright 18, the cord 50 being provided with a handle 54 adapted to normally depend adj acent the handle 43. Now when a pull is exerted on the handle 54, the lever 30 will again be actuated to exert a pull on the cord 44, thus moving the locking bar 21 against the action of the spring 23 and into the chamber 22 todisengage the locking bar 21 from the dog 29, after which a continued pull onthe handle 54 will result in an outward swinging movement of the door sections 13 and 14 and when the pull on the handle is then released the locking bar 21 will return to normal position and project from an edge of the door section 13 to engage the dog 29 and lock the door sections 13 and 14 in open posit-ion.
From the foregoing description it will thus be seen that the door sections 13 and 14 can be simultaneously swung into open or closed position from the interior of the building and similarly swung into open or closed position from the exterior of the building. It will also be seen that the door sections can be actuated by the operator from the exterior of the building to swing into open position and then again actuated by the operator within the building to swing into closed position or vice versa.
It will be understood that various changes can be made in the construction set forth herein without departing from the spirit of the invention and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
In combination, a door frame, a door hinged within said frame, standards disposed upon each side of said frame at a distance therefrom, said door adapted to swing open toward one of the standards, a lever intermediately pivoted upon frame and disposed upon the opposite side thereof with respect to the opening of the door, a bracket supported on the opposite side of the frame and supporting pulleys, means for locking said door in open and closed positions, a rocker arm upon said door and extending transversely therethrough and connected with said locking means, two sets of pulleys supported on each of said standards, a cord extended from a pulley of each of said standards to the pulleys of said bracket, and having the extended ends connected with one of the free ends of said rocker arm whereby upon pulling either of said cords said door will be unlocked and swung open, a second cord extended from the other pulley of each of said standards, the one of said last mentioned cords which is extended from the standard disposed on the opening side of the door connected to the upper end of said lever, the other of said last mentioned cords being connected to the lower end of said lever, a connection between the other end of said rocker arm and the lower end of said lever whereby upon pulling either of the last mentioned cords the unlocking and closing of the door is effected.
In testimony whereof I a'l'iix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
