WEATHER I STRIP.
Application filed October 23, .1926. Serial No. 143,612;
' sure positive but yielding contact thereof with a window, door, or other closure.
These and other objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed in the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of the weather strip of this invention and showing in dotted lines the resilient core thereof.
Fig. 2 is a close-up sectional view of a modified form of a strip of the invention.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the resilient core used with the form of strip shown in Fig. 2. l
The weather strip of the present invention is adapted to rapid machine manufacture and convenient packing and storage-after manufracture. A resilient core 5 is preferably formed of thin rust-proof resilient wire 6 which is bent into a connected series of U- shaped off sets 7, having spaced parallel arms 8 connected at opposite sides by sections 9, extending at right angles thereto. An elongated strip of water proof paper 10, is folded about the core 5, the overlapping ends 11 and 12 thereof, overlying upon aflat side of the core. The purpose of the paper covering for the core is to prevent the relatively thinwire of the core from becoming twistedand tan led and to make possible the convenient winding of a long strip of the paper covered core upon a reel. The paper covered core is now ready to receive a felt covering 13. .This covering 13 is positioned about the covered core by machine and the edge 14 thereof is positioned directly over the overlapping ends of the paper cover. The felt extends across the top of thecore and around one edge, thence across the bottom of the core and around the remaining edge thereof, after which it is doubld upon its edge at 15 to provide two thicknesses 16 and '17, which overlap a relatively wide portion of the top of the strip. The plurality of layers of felt and paper are then secured together by a longitudinal row of stitching 18 which extends through each of the overlapping ends of the felt and paper and which is disposed inwardly of one aligned row of sections 9 ofthe core. 1
From the foregoing and .by reference tocore, a strip of felt extending about the paper Fig. it will beapparent that the inturn'ed fold comprising the porti0ns16 and 17 of the felt will normally lie flat upon the structiu'e but may be raised inorder to permit securing G0 nails 19 to be driven through the remainder of the strip. These nails will be obscured by the doubled section 16-17, so that the strip when applied to a window will present a neat appearanceand will have thefastening means out of sight.
The modified form of strip shown in Fig. 2
- is made in .the manner heretofore described,
the sole difference being in the shape of the core. Referring to Fig. 3 it will be noted that the modified core is first formed as shown in Fig. 1 and thatthe sections 9 on one side there of-are off set from the remaining sections by uniformly bending the arms 8, intermediate their ends as at 80. This form of strip as will be noted in Fig. 2 has an additional resiliency at its contactedge.
In each of the forms shown the contact edge 130 of the strip is placed toward the sliding window member or toward the swinging door or window so that when such door or window contacts it, the felt will be retained firmly against such door or window. The resiliency of the core insures firm contact but at the same time will yield and accommodate itself to door 35 or window surfaces which may be slightly uneven or somewhatout of alignment.
The operation and application of the strip will be obvious, since it may be used in any of the well known wa s of applying weather stripping to doors and windows.
