WEATHER-STRIR Specification of Letters Patent. Patented N 10, 1914,,
Application filed October 12, 1912. Serial No. 725,380.
Y '0 all whom it may concern .Be it known that I, Cnannnonhl. EVE- LETH, a citizen of the United States, and a resldent of River Forest, in thecounty 01' Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Weather-Strip, of which the door or window.
The objects of my present invention, are, to simplify and mprove the constructmn from the manufacturing, installing, and operatlve standpoints.
As will be seen from the following specification, taken in connection with the drawings, the design of the lever for depressing the weather strip when the door is closed makes it possible to install the device in a kerf or slot of minimum depth; the provision of a housing to which the depressing lever and spring for retaining the weather strip are attached, simplifies the installation; the form of the retaining spring is such as to cause no longitudinal movement of the strips; the provision of adjustable means upon the strip for attaching the re taining spring permits of the strip being cut to shorter dimensions to fit shorter doors without affecting the operation of the device; and the provision of the particular kind of weather strip with the transverse cuts makes it possible to shape the weather strip to irregularities in the sill. It will also be seen that the throw or latitude of movement of the strip may be easily adjusted, and that the weather strip in combination with the sill strip shown will make a substantially water-proof stop.
In the drawing forming a part of this application:-Figure 1 is an elevation of the lower portion of a door having parts broken away to disclose the various struc-' tures mounted therein; Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmental side elevation partlally in section of the lever and spring housing, the
spring, the weather-strip, and U-shapcd le- Iver, the latter being shown in its upper position; Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the adjustable spring attaching device, and Fig. 5 is a fragment of weather strip.
in the sill.
Similar reference characters refer to si1nilar parts throughout the several views.
The reference character 6 designates the lowerportion of a door which sprovlded with a longitudinal kerf or groove 6?.
Mounted in the center and fastened to the top of the groove 6 by a screw 7 is a. U- shaped housing 8.
lever 10 straddles the weather strip and the studs are located at its lower edge. This construction permits of an installation in a groove or kerf of minimum depth; Rotatably mounted in the upper portion of said lever 10 is a roller 11 which is transversely bored and internally threaded at 11 to receive the threaded end12 of a rod' 12, said rod being provided with the cap 13", and being held in its horizontal position by a bearing 13 which extends to the edge of the door.
Pivoted to the upper wall of a housing 8 is a horizontal leaf spring 14, the other end of which is riveted at 1%]: to av like spring 15 lying under and running backwardly from the rivet 1 1 to a hook 16. said hook 16 being longitudinally adjustable in the easing of a weather strip 17, and being rigidly held in the desired position by a set screw 16. This construction prevents any longitudinal movement of the weather strip when it moves out or into the groove.
Internally pivoted to: said housing 8 by the two studs 9 is afU- shaped lever 10. It will be noticed that the It will be seen that by adjusting the hook I ably engage the felt 19 and hold it in position, the rivets 18 also assisting in this. In Fig. 5 is shown a transverse slot in the weather strip. Any number of these may be provided so as to permit the weather strip being bent to conform it to an irregularity It will now be seen that when the door 6 is closed the cap 13 of the rod 12 will strike against the head of a screw 20, provided in the door jamb, thus forcing the rod forward which in turn will cause the lever 10 to swing downwardly its top or upper portion 10 striking against a rub plate 21, thus giving the weather strip a downward movement. The weather strip when in this position may engage either the door sill, or better, a convex metallic plate 22 which is fastened on top of said door sill, with a stop of rubber packing beneath it to exclude water. \Vhen the door 6 is opened the lifting power of the springs 1d and 15 raise the weather strip above the bottom of the door, at the same time forcing the lever 10 upwardly which in turn forces the rod 12 backwardly and thus completes the movement. This entire movement is regulated by the lateral adjustment of the trip-rod. The outer end of the cap is scored as the head'of a screw, so as to permit of the use of a screw driver to facilitate these adjustments.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
a casing and a felt therein, of a member adjustable longitudinally upon the top of said casing and having an upstanding terminal hook, a spring for normally holding said strip in inoperative position within the groove comprising a pair of juxtaposed leaves secured together at one end, the other end of one leaf being secured Within said groove and the other end of the other leaf being turned downward and slotted for removable engagement with said hook, and means for moving said strip outwardly of said groove against the action of said spring, therebeing no longitudinal movement of the strip during operation.
I11 testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
