IMPROVEMENT IN WEATHER-STRIPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 168,869, dated October 19, 1875; application filed September 4, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCIS A. BRADSHAW, of Lebanon, Laclede county, Missouri, have invented a new and Improved Weather-Strip, of which the following is a specification Figure 1 represents a front view, and Fig. 2 a vertical transverse section on the line 0 0, Big. 1, of a door with my improved Weatherstrip.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts. I
My invention has reference to a Weatherstrip for doors by which no water is allowed between the door and the threshold-strip, and the drip-water carried off in effective manner.
The invention consists of adoor with an adjustable elastic weather-strip fitting 011 the thresholdstrip, that is provided with a groove and outwardly-inclined mortises for the dripwater. The groove is covered by a perforated metallic plate.
In the drawing, A represents the door; B, the threshold-strip O, the elastic weatherstrip, of rubber or other material, that is slotted at the points where the fastening-screws pass through the same, for the purpose of be ing adjustable and providing for the wear and tight fitting on the strip B. The weather -stri p G is attached to the inside of the door, at the lower edge of the same, by a molding, 0, appliedbyfastening-screws. The-threshold-strip B is provided along its entire length with a groove, a, below-the door, and immediately in front of the Weather-strip, which groove serves to collect the Water and convey it by inclined mortises b to the outside. A perforated plate, D, of suitable metal, covers groove a, being attached to the top of the strip B, so as to allow the drip-Water to pass to the groove, and prevent at the same time the collection of dirt therein, which is necessary to prevent the choking up of the mortises.
The weather-strip prevents any moisture enterin g between it and strip B, and throws the drip-water into the groove to be drained off through the mortises, keeping thus the sill in a perfectly-dry state.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with the threshold-strip, of a perforated plate, covering draining-groove for preventing the entrance of dirt, substantially as specified.
FRANCIS A. BRADSHAW.
