G. BRANDT. 000R HANGER. FILED JUNE 26,
. enonen BRANDT,
2M AJ teaser erarear entice.
OF TIFFIN, OHIO.
noon HANGER.
Application filed June 26,
Be it known that I, Gnoncn BRANDT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tiiiin, in the county of Seneca and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in door hangers. it being particularly adapted for 'arage doors.
My invention is a combined door hanger and hinge, with a universal joint connection between the two, with provision for remov ing one or both leaves of the hinge as well as means for adjusting the position of the hinge with respect to the hanger.
In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a view in front elevation showing the hanger applied to two doors.
Figure 2 is an enlarged front view of my improved door hanger.
Figure 3 is an edge view.
Figure 4 is a vertical section through the longitudinal center of the door hanger.
Figure 5 is a plan view looking down upon the door and rail upon which it travels.
A, represents the hanger which is preferably made of a single plate of sheet metal, bent over at the top to form a housing for the roller 2, which is mounted on a bearing 3, which extends through the hub of the wheel with the ends supported in the opposite sides of the plate.
A tongue 5, is cut from the lower part of the plate leaving a slot 6, and this tongue is bent inwardly and the lower end upwardly to form a guard 7, beneath the rail 8, on which the hanger travels whereby to prevent it from jumping the track. The extreme lower end of the plate 9, is bent around and secured to a rod 10, and this rod 10 extends through the head 11. of the pint-1e 12. of the hinge. the hinge being preferably of ordinary butt hinge type comprising two lea es 13 and 14, through which the pintle 12 extends in the central vertical axis of the hanger.
The head of the pintle is offset so that the hinged sections are substantially in alignmeiit with the main body or the hanger, and the center of gravity of the door section is substantially in line with the central vertical axis of the hanger, so that the supporting rail may be as close as possible to the building. This not only-insures even wear on the parts of the hanger such as would not be 1919. Serial No. 306,843[
obtained if the pull on the hanger was at an angle to the vertical, but also putting the rail close to the building increases the strength and decreases the amount of material necessary to properly support the rail.
The lower end of the pintle is provided with screw threads 15, and a nut 16, and lock nut 17, are screwed thereon, whereby to hold the hinge on the pintle and which admit of an adjustment between hinge and hanger when it is desired for any reason to change their relative positions more or less. For instance, if one end of the door should sag a little and require raising or it should require lowering a. trifle, or if the hinge is to be placed a little lower down or higher up on the door for any reason this adjustment will provide for it.
In the planview I have shown a garage door made of three sections, and it will be seen that the hanger is so placed that the pintle is coincident with the adjacent edges of the door, or, in other words, the two leaves of the hinge 18 and 14;, are secured on adjacent doors, and when applied to the outer edges of the two outer doors, one leaf may be removed, for instance, leaf 1.4, on the righthand door or leaf 18 on the left-hand door, the pintle always being approximately coincident with the edge of the door.
By omitting the hanger at the outer edge 0i one of the doors it is possible to swing that door open or shut independently of the other two doors and yet have it operate as a complete sectional door with the other sections just as if it were supported on a hanger at both edges.
It is understood, or course, that a door might be made in more than three parts or even less when used on a garage, the arrangement shown'ln Flgure 5 being simply an illustration of an application where the doors move on a curved track.
Of course, the hanger is equally applicable to ordinary barn doors where either one or two are mounted on a track.
The hanger by reason of the horizontal and vertical hinge connection affords a very flexible joint of the universal type which adapts itself easily to various conditions more particularly when. traveling upon a curved or irregular track.
The entire device is so constructed that it is simple and easy to manufacture and at the same time it is efiectual in performing its functions.
1 claim,
The combination with a track of a roller and hanger, said hanger having a tongue cut therefrom and bent upwardly to form a 5 guard to hold the hanger on the track and when cut and bent leaving a slot in the plate, the lower ends of hanger adjacent the slot being curved to form journals, a pin mounted in the journals vertically below the center of 10 the hanger roller and parallel to the track, a
pintle having an oilset heed mounted on the pin and extending into said slot, hinge sec tions carried by said pintle and a door section carried by the hinge sections, the center of gravity of which is always vertically in line with the center of the roller and with said pin.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
GEORGE BRANDT.
