unrest UNHTETDD 'E2ATENT ARTHUR T. EARL, OF LOS ANGELES, AND WILLIAM: B. HUNKINS, OF HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA.
REPLACEABLE STRIKER-PLATE TIP.
Application filed October 28, 1920. Serial No. 420,239.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ARTHUR T. EARL and WILLIAM B. Humans, citizens of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, and at Hollywood, respectively, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Replaceable Striker-Plate Tips, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to striker plates such as are employed in door frames for use in connection with spring catches upon doors.
The invention will be found particularly useful in connection with doors for automobiles of the limousine type, and the invention is illustrated as employed in this connection, although it will be obvious that striker plates constructed in accordance with the invention may be also utilized to great advantage with spring catches for Ford doors of general utility as well as wherever spring catches may be employed.
The invention will be readily understood from the following description of the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a limousine showing the door open and a striker plate constructed in accordance wit-h the invention, mounted upon the door frame.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the striker plate.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3--8 of Fig. 1 showing the door catch engaged by the striker plate. 2
The limousine upon which the improved striker plate is employed includes the door frame 1 and the door 2 provided with a usual spring catch projecting beyond the swinging edge of the door, and provided with a curved contact surface 1 arranged to abut against the striker plate mounted upon the door frame in order to cause retraction of the catch within the door frame until the catch is beyond the striker plate, when it will be spring projected to cause abutment of the flat surface 5 against the end wall 6 of the striker plate.
The improved striker plate comprises a plate 7 adapted to be mounted flush against the surface of the door frame. This plate is provided with a transversely extending supporting plate 8 at its rear surface, and
' which is arranged to be counter-sunk into the door frame with suitable screws received through openings 9 in said plate retaining the striker plate in position.
The side of the striker plate extending outwardly from the door frame is tapered from a point 10 between the ends of the striker plate to an edge 11 at the forward end of the striker plate so that an inclined surface 12 is provided arranged to be con tacted by the curved surface 1 of the door catch when the door is closed, and in order to retract the door catch. Rearwardly from the edge 10 of the striker plate, the outer surface of the latter is inwardly ofiset as shown at 13, in order to form the shoulder 14 extending across the striker plate, and said inwardly offset portions terminate in an end wall 15.
The portion of the striker plate forming the tip over which the door catch moves as it is projected to its locking position in rear of the striker plate, is a detachable and re placeable member adapted to be replaced upon the striker plate when it has become worn. This replaceable member is an angularly disposed member including the walls 16 and 17 adapted to be received against the inwardly offset surface 13, and over the ,end wall 15 respectively. The outer surface of wall 16 when thus positioned may form a continuation of the inclined surface 12, and the corner formed at the junction of this surface with the outer surface of end wall 17 comprises the tip over which the door catch moves. Instead of having the surface of wall 16 form a smooth continuation of wall 12, it is preferable to have this surface inclined similar to surface 12 as shown at 18, but slightly inwardly offset therefrom so as to form a supplementary tip at the edge 10. By this arrangement should the door not be properly closed, and the door catch slip pass the end wall of the striker, it will be engaged by the supplementary tip provided at edge 10, and will thus be prevented from swinging open.
The replaceable tip for the striker plate as thus described, may be detachably secured to the striker plate by means of screws 20 extending through wall 16 and into the striker plate. said screws being suitably countersunk below the surface 18.
Various changes may be made in the construction as thus set forth without depart ing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is:
1. A striker plate having a tapering side terminating in an inwardly offset portion including an end wall, and a detachable and replaceable member having a portion With an inner straight side and an outer tapering side, a flange at one end of saidportion extending outwardly from the straight side; said member adapted to be received in said offset and over said endwall to form an inwardly offset continuation of said taper and an end abutment for a catch.
2. A striker plate having a tapering side terminating in an inwardly offset straight
