Description

A. I. S. HALVORSEN SUPPORT FOR FLEXIBLE DOORS OF KITCHEN CABINETS April 3; 1928.
Filed Jan. 25. 1927 Patented Apr. 3 1928.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
AXEL I. S. HALVORSEN, OF ALBANY, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO MCCORMICK BROTHERS COMPANY, OF ALBANY, INDIANA, A CORPORATION INDIANA.
Application filed January 25, 1527. Serial No. 163,468.
This invention relates to supporting means for flexible doors composed of slats, as used in kitchen cabinets and the like. In my co-pending application, Serial No. 109,083; filed May 14, 19%,1 have shown door supporting means comprising metal disks arranged at the top of the doorway in a kitchen cabinet, each disk having an arcuate flange the ends of which are arranged at opposite sides of a groove in which the flexible door slides, and each disk is provided with a central boss around which the door coils when the door is raised. These door supports occupy small space and the door coils at the front of the cabinet instead of extending across the cabinet in the usual 'lXhe present invention comprises flanged disks arranged, as in the application above referred to, at the upper ends of the door grooves. The disks in the present invention, instead of being provided with central bosses are each provided with a rib, preferably pressed out from the body of the disk, this rib extending upwardly from the lower end of the flange past its upper end, and thence parallel with the flange for a part of its length, the rib and flange forming a guide for the door at its entrance into the support and also serving to coil the door within the support.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a vertical section, taken from front to rear, through part of a kitchen cabinet equipped with my improved door supports;
Fig.2 is a horizontal section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 8 is an enlarged detail view of the support and adjacent parts shown in Fig. 1, the door being shown partly coiled within the support; and,
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the supports.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, of the drawing, a represents a compartment of a kitchen cabinet having at its front side a doorway which is adapted to be opened and closed by a door 6, composed of a plurality of slats 1, flexibly connected together, the ends of the slats fitting, in the usual man ner, within guide grooves 2, formed at the sides of the doorway by outer and inner disk.
. of the flanges.
strips 3 and 4. To the side walls 5 and 6 of the casing, adjacent the upper ends of the guide grooves, are secured the door supports cand 0, respectively. As shown, the door support 0 comprises a flat disk 7, having an arcuate flange 8, which extends around the greater part of the circumference of the disk. One end 8 of the flange is turned outwardly, as shown. From the other end of the flange, a rib 9, pressed up from the body of the disk, extends inwardly and upwardly past the end 8 of the flange, and thence extends parallel with the flange for a short distance, as shown at 9. The rib isspaced from the flange soas to form there with a groove for guiding the door, and the central part of the disk is unobstructed.
The supports 0 and c are arranged atopposite sides of the casing, as shown, and these supports are alike in all respects except that being adapted for use at opposite sides of the housing, the flange and rib on one disk project oppositely from the flange and rib on the opposing disk. I
The supports are secured to the side walls of the cabinet by screws 10, passing through suitable holes 11 in the supports, and the lips 8 on the flanges are arranged adjacent the outer door guides 3, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3-. The ribs 9 extend upwardly from the inner guide strips 4L andpast the ends 8' of the flanges and then curve inwardly parallel with the flanges to a point slightly beyond the upper central portions of the supports, as shown. The ribs and adjacent portions of the flanges thus form guides for the door extending from the upper ends of the grooves 2 to points above the centers of the lVhen the door is raised, the ends of the slats pass from the groovesEZ. into the grooves or channels formed by the ribs and flanges, and are guided thereby to the rear portions The slats then follow the flanges downwardly until they. meet with the ribs 9, and thence follow the inner walls pressed up from the body of the disk, although the rib may be separately formed, if desired.
What I claim is: A support for doors composed of flexibly connected slats, comprising a metal disk hairing an arcuate flange extending around the greater part of its circumference and having a rib extending from one end of the flange 10 inwardly on the disk past the other end of unobstructed to permit the door to coil upon 15 itself.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
