HOLLOW METAL DooR F RAME.

To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, HENRY; R. Grocer, a subject of the Crown ofGreat Britain, and resident of Columbus,- in the county of Franklinv and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hollow Metal Door-Frames, of which the following is aspecification.

In the manufacture ofhollow metal door frames it has heretofore been impracticable to complete the door frame'until the strike plate to be used in connection therewith .was known, thus preventing the stocking up of a large supply ofdoor frames and also requiring a special set of dies and tools for each particular size and style of strike plate. I

. The object of my invention is to produce a type of hollow metal door frame which may be completed in large quantities irrespective of the size and style ofstrikeplate to be used, thus materially reducing the cost of manufacture andalso permitting the rapid filling of orders from stock. These results are accomplished by blanking out the door janib to fit a standard size sub-holder, the

sub-holder'in turn beingblanked out to fit the particular strik plate to be used.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure 1 represents in face view, a portion of a door frame with my invention applied thereto. r

Fig. 2 is a section taken in the plane of the line IIII of Fig. l. I

Fig. 3 is a section taken in the plane of the line IIIIII of Fig. 2, and

Fig. f is a section taken in the plane of the The door jamb l is blanked out to fit a sub-holder 2 of sufiicient size to fit any required strike plate, and the sub-holder itself is in turn blanked. out to fit the particular strike plate 3' intended for use with its particular door frame. preferably of channel form and it is secured to the door jain'b by providing upper and.

holder. Screws 5 are provided for securing the top and bottom of the sub-holder to the said clips 4.

The sub-holder 2 is I Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 2, 1919; Application filed 0ctober 24, 1917. Serial No. 198,266. b I

holder by providing the sub-holder with clips .6 permanently secured to the subholder, as for instance, by welding at suitable points asindicated by the dotted circles 6*, which clips have portions overlapping the top and bottom of the strike plate. Screws 7 serve to secure the top and bottom of the strike plate to the said clips.

In. applying the strike plates to the door frame, the sub-holder is blanked out to fit the particular strike plate tobe used, the clips 6 are secured to the sub-holder and afterthe strike plate has been fitted to the blanked out portion of the sub-holder, the screws 7 serve to fasten the strike plate to the subholdcr. The sub holder is then fitted into the blanked outportion of the door jamb and the screws 5 are used for securing the.

sub-holder .in position.

I While I. have shown the invention as ap plied to the attachment of any size and style of strike plate to a door frame, it is obvious that the same may beused in connection 7 blanked out to fit the sub-holder, and means for securing the strike plate to the subholder.
