Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 16, 1915.
Application filed June 24, 1913. Serial No. 775,496.
T all whom it may 007160771.
Be it known that 1, ROBERT Mc-DILL Ross, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and'State of California, have invented a new and useful Cupboard-Door Catch, of
.whieh the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a device adapted to detachably catch and hold a door in closed position, and has for its object toproduce a device of this character which is of simple and economical construction, effective in op eration, and-durable in use.
Ite'lerring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a horizontal section through a door and adjacent door frame, showing the invention as applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a perspective in detail of the stationary portion. Fig. 3 is a perspective in detail of the door portion. Fig. 1 is a section through the complete device in a plane taken on line .rm, Fig. 2.
1 designates the door and 2 designates the door frame. The cupboard door catch comprises a stationary portion 3 which consists of a plate formed with a flange at atright angles and with a spring tongue 5 formed integral with the plate, and having a bowed central portion 6, with a projecting tongue 7 which extends through a notch 8 formed in the flange et. The stationary portion'3 is secured to the door frame by screws 9.
The door portion is shown in detail in Fig. 3 and comprises a plate 10 which is formed with an integral concavesocket portion 11 and with a flange 12 having a pad 13 formed of some yielding material. The plate 10 is secured to the door 1 byscrews 14 and when the door is moved into a closed position, the plate 10 presses against the bowed portion of the spring tongue 5 and bends the tongue back somewhat until the socket 11 has been moved far enough to receive the bowed portion 6 of the tongue, which then snugly fits in the socket and the partsare thus yieldingly held. in engagement to hold the door closed. The pad 13 strikes against the flange 4 to prevent any noise in closing. To open the door, the knob 15 is pulled upon with sufiicient pressure to spring back the tongue 5 which then moves out of the socket 11, releasing the door.
\V'hat I claim is: i
A door catch, comprising a plate secured to the door frame and having a flange and being formed with a spring tongue, said tongue having an engaging portion and a projecting end. said flange having a notch that "guides the projecting end of said tongue, a plate secured to the door, said plate having a socket adapted to be engaged by said engaging portion of said tongue, and
said latter plate havinga flange that is adapted to strike the flange of the first plate.-
' In testimon whereof, I have hereunto'set my hand at Jos Angeles, California, this 17th day of June, 1913.
