ADJUSTABLE .STRIKER PLATE.
Application filed January `5, 1925; Serial No. G77.
able bolts of vehicle door locks and latches.
One of the essential objects of the invention is to provide a plurality of striker plates that are preferably arranged in tandem `and are adapted to be alternately engaged by the bolt of the lock for holding the door in either a partially closed; position or in a fully closed position with respect to a suitable door amb.
Another object is to provide a striker plate of this type that may be readily adjusted without interfering with the usual trimming material of the vehicle body for taking `up wear and preventing rattling.
A further object is to provide simple and effective means for adjusting the adjustable strik-erv plate. i v l j i Still another object is to provide strong `and durable striker plates that are simple inconstruction and can be manufactured at a comparatively low cost. y
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts as will more fullybe described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. i
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure l is a fragmentary side elevation yof a door jamb With striker plates embody ing my invention attached thereto.
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure l. Y y
Figure 3 is a top plan Vview of the retainer plate. s
Figure 4 is a sideelevation of theretainer plate shown in Figure 3. n
Figure 5 is a top plan view of the inner adjustable striker plate. y Figure 6 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 5. l
Figure 7 is a top plan view of the outer striker plate. i i
Referring now tothe drawings7 in "which like reference characters designate corresponding parts .throughout the several views, the numeral 1 designates a door j amb, preferablyvof a vehicle body. This `jamb may be formed kof any suitable materialand may be any shape desired, however 1t is preferably formed of tWo sheet Ametal stampings 2 and `3 respectively. As shown, the
Thest-riker plate 7 is" preferably formed of sheet metal and is preferably permanently secured to` the jamb section 2 While the striker plate 8 -is also preferably formed of sheet metal but is adjustable"transversely ol the section 3 for taking up Wear and preventing the bolt 9 from rattling. As shown,
' the striker plate 7 is Wedge-shaped in form yand is provided at its opposite sides Witl `the 4outwar'dlyrxtending attaching ears 1b which are preferably rivetedto the flange of the jamb 'section 2. A
The strikery plate 8 is also preferably Wedge-shaped in form butis movable longitudinally of an elongated opening 10 that extends transversely of the jamb section 3 fromfthe inner `edge of the lateral flange t toa point adjacent to the rear flange 11. For supporting the striker plate- 8 in theopening l0', I preferably providel a retainer plate l2 that bridges the opening 10 and is permanently secured to section 3. As shown, this retainer plate `l2 is preferably riveted at its forward endr to the lateral flange l of the section 3 and is provided `at its rear end with a lateral ilange 13 that 'is secured to the rearllange l1 fthesection 3. f
` v In order that the inner strikerplate S may lbe readily adjusted transversely ofthe jamb l vvitlioutuinterfering with the 4usual trimming material, (not shown) 'ofi thellvehicleT body, the4 inclined Wall 14 of the striker yes Aplate 8 is preferably provided with a `longii tudinally extending jdepressed i portion having an' elongatedslot ldfor receiving a suitable headed element such as a screw 17 desirefto have it understood thatl do not limitinyself to what isihereinl shown and descrbethandthat such elianges may be re- ,sortedto Wlienydesired as fall`witlj1iirthe fno that threadedly engages a tongue 18 struelr out from the retainer plate 1Q. As shown, the
j To retain the striker plate 8 in adjusted positioa'therear `Wall 21 thereof` prefer.- ably provided at its lower edgevith a fiat rearward extension 22 having a longitudinallyextending slot Qltlierein llor reeeiving al suitable headed element suelras a serein 24 that preferably threadedly engages the retrainer` plate 12 in the rear o't the tongue 1S. In use, When itis desired td `adjust the .striker fplateff to the rear,""the screw 24 is loosened, Wherebytlie strejvpl'r'l niayfbe adjusted inwardly of the tonguel lSto edec't the desired adjustment of 1the, striker plate 8. The sereWQtis then adjusted inwardly `of the retainer" platt-rv 12 for" `lioldingthe strikerplate in adjusted position. When it is `desired to adjust` the striker plate `t3 forwardly"botlrserers '17 and 22 are loosened and the kstller"plate 8 is theninoved by ,hand tothe desired adjusted position,
to hold th'e'striker ,plate 8 in position. Thus,
the striker plate"8 niaywbeeasily adjusted `Without aieoting anybltlie'btlier parts for taking up 4Wearfand` preventing "the, bolt 9 from rattling!y i Tlilefit 1is believed .that from the foregoing deserptin the nature and advantages rofthe inyentionivill bereadily apparent,l
