IMPROVEMENT IN WEATHER-STRIPS.
Specilication forming part of Letters Patent No. 170,029, dated November 16,1875 application :filed October 21, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM SUsTINs, of Waupaca, in the conntyot' Waupaca and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and uset'ul Improvements in Weather- Strips; and l do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a weatherstrip, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
ln the annexed drawing, Figure 1 is a 'ront View ot' a door embodying my invention, with the bottom end of the door in vertical section. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the linea? m, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a section through the line y y, Fig. 1.
A represents an ordinary door hung in the door-frame B. In the bottom edge of the door is made a longitudinal groove, extending the entire length ot' the door. In this groove is placed a strip of wood, C, to the .bottom edgel of which is fastened a rubber tube, D, and the strip is held in the groove by means of two spiral springs, a a. In the hanging post of the frame B is fastened a small stub, E, having a rounded end, as shown. In el0s ing the door the end'oil the strip C passes under the rounded part of the stub E, which presses it down onto the sill'of the frame. On the shutting-post of the frame is a wheel, G, under which the other end of the strip C.
l passes to press the rubber tube down on the sill, thereby making a close joint the entire length of the sill, which will keep out all wind, rain, snow, dust, Suc. Through the center of the strip C is a pin, b, of wood, workpoints where the stub E and wheel G touch v `the same, are inserted screws, for the purpose ot' regulating the weather-strip, so that in case of the sill wearing away after a time a slight turn of these screws to raise the-m will press the weather-strip down that much more, making the rubber tit the step or sill as close as at first. v
The weather-strip can at any time, when desiredfor instance, in the summer timebe thrown out of use to give ventilation by Simply removing the stub E and wheel G, when the strip will remain drawn up in the groove.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,-
1. The combination, with a door, A, having a groove in its lower, end, of the wood In strip C, rubber tube D, springs a. a, and guide-pin b, working in the slots e, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
2. The stub E and revolving wheel G, in combination with the weather-strip G D, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I alx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM SUSTINS.
