' Weather-$trips. v N0, 143,324, Patented 8eptember30,i'873.
UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.
JAMES W. BROWNE, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK:
. IMPROVEMENT m WEATHER-STRIPS).
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 143,324, dated September 30, 1873; application filed August 13, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAi/Les W. BROWNE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings andState of New York, have invented an Improved Weather-Strip, of which the following is a specification:
This weather-strip consists of a strip of vulcanized india-rubber and a narrower strip of felt or woolen cloth secured to it by sewing or some adhesive substance near one edge, so that the other edge may overlap slightly. The weather-strip thus made is intended to be applied, as hereinafter described, to the casings of windows, the frames of doors, and to crevices generally, wherever they may be. Dust, cold, and rain will thus be very effectually excluded from entering by this means.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a face view of a portion of a window, having my improved weather-strip applied to it. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the strip detached.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
A indicates the window-casing, and B G are the two sashes of the window. All are made in the usual way, and are represented merely to illustrate the application of my invention. D is a strip of vulcanized indiarubber, about half an inch wide, which, in connection with a strip or list, G, of soft flexible material, composes the Weatherstrip. This list is considerably narrower than the india-rub ber, and may consist of cloth, felt, leather, or any other soft flexible material. It is secured to the rubber by parallel seams of sewing or by some adhesive substance, so that one of its edges is even with one of the edges of the india-rubber; therefore, the other edge of the rubber laps or overhangs the listing to the extent of the difference between their respectmade by its own elasticity to press constantly against the sash, and it will therefore preserve a very tight joint. It is fastened in efiectual in a two-fold degree: First, because.
they prevent anything passing between themselves and the windowcasing; and then, again, because they exclude anything from passing between the window-casing and its sashes. When the strips are employed to deaden noise the list is of the utmost value.
The weather-strip made thus is at once simple, and, besides being very effective, possesses the great advantage of cheapness. It can be applied by any housekeeper, for the simple reason that a few tacks are all that is needed to fasten it in place.
For transportation and sale it is done up in rolls, and can be readily out to the desired lengths for the various purposes to which it may be put. This feature alone, I think, should recommend it greatly, as it is the means of obviating waste, and brings it within the ability of any person to apply. It can be bent round curves and corners with the utmost ease, and therefore may be made to fulfil its purpose with extraordinary efficacy.
In nicely-finished work-,where it is desirable to render the appearance as comely as possi' ble, fancy moldings may be applied to cover the strips all but their operative edges, as I have illustrated in the drawing.
What I claim as my invention is The weather-strip, composed of the strip of vulcanized india-rubber and a narrower strip of felt or woolen cloth secured together, sub stantially as described, for the purpose set forth.
J. W. BROWN E. Witnesses EDWIN H. BROWN, MICHAEL RYAN.
