Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEo JOHN D. SKEER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN RAILS FOR SLIDING DOORS.
Specilcation forming part of Letters Patent No. l 57,235, dated November 24, 1874; application filed September 14, 1874.
To all whom it may concer/mf Be it known that I, JOHN D. SKEER, of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Sliding-Door Rails, of which the following is a specification:
In carpeting a floor upon which is laid a rail for sliding doors it has been found by experience that when the carpet is laid over the rail it in a very short time becomes worn out, and when the carpet is cut and the edges laid next to the rail, the space occupied by the rail is uncovered, as no facilities are offered for fastening the carpet, either to the rail or through it. To obviate these difficulties is the object of this invention.
My sliding-door rail is made of brass, iron, or any suitable material, and has two flanges, between which is an elevated portion for the track upon which the rollers travel.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of my rail, in which B is one of the flanges, and immediately opposite is another with the track C between them. D is an aperture or hole passing from one ilange to another under the track, and in making it a portion of the ilange on each side is removed, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. E E are holes smaller than D D, passing' through the raised portion of the rail.
Fig. 1 is a section of the floor with the rail laid thereon, showing the two kinds of apertures through the rail. Fig. 2 is a top view of the rail ready for use. Fig. 4 shows the rail iu position with the carpet laid.
It will be seen that I can employ two methods of fastening the carpet in position immediately adjoining the track C of the rail. One is, I can sew through the apertures E or D, from edge to edge ofthe carpet, and thus bring the edges of the carpet up snug to each side of the track C, leaving only the top ot' the track exposed; or I can drive nails, as seen at F, Fig. 4, through the carpet, and through apertures D into the oor, which also holds the carpet snug against the track of the rail, the same as in the case of sewing. H, Fig. 4, shows the method of sewing. In this way I cover with carpet nearly the entire rail, leaving only the track Where the rollers travel cX- posed. The rail can be laid on top ofthe Hoor, or laid flush with the floor, as desired.
What I claim is- 1. A sliding-door rail provided with the apertures D D, for the purpose of nailing through, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A sliding-door rail provided with the apertures E E, for the purpose of sewing through, substantially as and for the purpose described.
JOHN D. SKEER.
