GARAGE-DOOR HOLDER.
QApplication filed August 25, i926 Se'ria1 No.l31,436.
This invention relates to improvements in garage door holders.
It is very desirable to have garage doors provided with some attachment for preventing them from being closed by the wind when in an open position, or from swinging open when in a closed position. In ordinary practice this is accomplished by various means such as by hooks attached to the doors, or by stops on the lower or upper edges. These devices are all more or less troublesome to operate inasmuch as they require manipulation after each opening or closing of the door.
It is one of the objects of the present invention to overcome the above mentioned objectionable features and to provide a garage door holder which will automatically hold the door in either the open or closed position wthout separatemanipulation.
With the above main and other incidental objects in view, the invention consists of the improved garage door holder, and its parts and'c-ombinations as set forth in the claims and all equivalents thereof.
In the accompanying drawing, in which the same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of t 1e views:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the device showing it in connection with an ordinary garage door. The dotted lines indicate the positions of the various parts of the device when the door'is in an open position, and also when it is only partially open as at A; and
Fig.2 is a front elevation of the device attached to a door, when the door is in the closed position. 7
Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawing, the reference numeral 3 designates one precise embodiment of the improved garage door holder which comprises a stationary arm 4, amovable door operating arm 5, an intermediate movable arm 6,
and a yielding member 7, preferably in the form of a coiled spring. The movable door operating arm 5 is pivoted at one end to an angle bracket 8, which is fixed to the garage door, and at a short distance from the other end the movable door operating arm 5 is pivoted to the intermediate movable arm 6. The movable door operating arm 5 is. also provided with a right angular extension 9 at this same end. The intermediate movable arm 6 is pivoted at its other end to a depressed portion 10 of the stationary arm 4. The stationary arm 4 is provided at its other end with a hook-shaped portion 11 and is secured to the doorsashby screws l2. The yielding member 7 l1as one end secured to the hookshaped portion 11 ofthe stationary arm fl, and the other end secured to the right angular extension 9 of the movable door operat-' ing arm 5. 4
When the door is in its closed position as shown by the full lines in Fig. 1, the elastic member 7 normally holds it in that position. When the door is opened, the device assumes the various positions shown in the dotted lines. Until the door is half open, the yielding member is being elongated as in the dotted line position A. When the door is approximately half open the yielding member has reached the greatest point of extension to which it is to be subjected, and from that point on it tends to contact and to thereby, pull the door into an open position, and to hold it in this position as is shown at B by the dotted lines. Thus it is simply necessary to open or close the door andthe yielding member will automatically hold it in either of the two desired positions.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that the improved garage door holder is strong and durable, is simple of construction, isautomatic in operation, and is well adapted for the purpose described.
What I claim as my invention is:
l. The combination of a door frame, a door pivoted thereto, and a door holder comprising a stationary arm fixed to said door frame, an intermediate movable arm pivoted at one endto said stationary arm, a movable door operated arm pivoted at one end'to the intermediate movable arm, and at the other end to the door, a yielding member between the movable door operated arm and the stationary arm for normally holding the door yieldingly and releasably in either a closed or an open position. I
2. The combination of a door frame, a door pivoted thereto, and a door holder comprising a movable door operated arm pivoted at one end to the door, an intermediate movable arm pivoted at one end to the movable door operated arm, and at its other end'to the door frame, a yielding member between the movable door operated arm and the door frame for holding the door yieldingly and releastogether and at its other end to a part ad-' jacent the connection of the door to the frame for holding the door yieldingly and releasably in either a closed or open. position.
4. The combination of a door frame, a door ivoted thereto, and a door holder comprismg a movable door operated arm pivoted at one end to the door, an intermediate movable arm pivoted at one end to the movable door operated arm and at its other end to the door frame, and a yielding member connected at one end to one of the arms and at its other end to a part adjacent the hinge connection of the door to the frame for holding the door yielding and releasably in either an open or 20 closed position. g
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature.
