Patented Jan. 7, 1930 UNITED STATES GEORGE E. MOODY, or LOS ANGELES, oALIroRNI'A DOOR R WINDOW GUIDE Application fil'ed October 3, 1928. Serial N 0. 309,992.
This invention relates to a guide for swinging doors or windows. It is common building practice to provide door or window frames with stops bordering the inner side of the frame and against which the swinging member abuts in closing. Hinges are provided for connection of the door or window to one side of the frame adjacent the stops. The styles of doors and windows of light construction, such as screen doors and windows are liable to warping and jam against the stops at the hinge side in swinging toward closure. This causes damage to the hinges, the swinging members or frames. To avoid the possibility of such trouble, it is common practice to set the styles at the hinge side so as to leave a clearance between the stop and the door when closed with the result that the swinging member does not abut the stop all around the jam.
The present invention relates to a guide for directing the style at the hinge side of the swinging member into proper position in front of the coacting stop so that the swing- 95 ing member may be hung close to the stop and permit the latter to perform its intended function.
These objects together with other objects and corresponding accomplishments are ob- 0 tained by means of the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. l is a perspective view of a fragment of a door frame looking upward into the frame in the direction of the arrow a; Fig. 2 is a transverse section as seen on the line 22 of Fig. 1; Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views to Fig. 2 showing a door hinged to the frame, the sections being taken at a hinge; Fig. 5
49 is a view similar to Fig. 4 taken between hinges and illustrating a warped door; Fig. 6 is an enlarged transverse view showing a stop in the door frame provided with my improved guide; Fig. 7 is a side view from within the door and looking in the direction of the arrow Z) in Fig. 6; and Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a guide detached from the door frame.
The door frame is shown as comprising a 59 stop 9 secured to a jamb frame 10. A swinging door 11 is secured by hingesl2 to the jamb framev so that in closing the. door; engages the stop 9. As before stated, a door may warp between its-hinge connections causingit to bulge so that in closing, the. door 53 style at the hinge side engages the stopas shown in Fig. 5. If forceisexertedto effect complete closure of the door, the latter may fulcrum about its heel. This causes a pull upon the hinges and the latter may be do pulled from their fastenings. If the hinges do not give, the door or stop or both may be splintered. The present invention consists in a guide member to engage the door in its a closing movement beyond the stop and direct 66 the heel of the door to abutting position with its coacting stop.
In Fig. 6, a guide is shown marked 13. This guide may be made of a strap of resilient sheet metal and comprises an angle with an 76 attaching leg and a directing leg. The attaching leg is provided with screw holes so that the guide may be secured to the inner face of the stop with a finger projecting into the door opening, the inner face of the direct-ing leg is curved from tip to base and at the base merges with the abutment face of the stop.
A warped door which closes against such a stop will be bent and guided inwardly so that its heel slides into position over the stop. The directing leg being resilient prevents damage to the heel of the door in its initial closing movement.
What I claim is 1. The combination of a swinging door or window, a frame therefor having a stop at the hinge side, a guide secured to said frame and having a directing leg projecting into the opening of said frame at said stop with an uninterrupted guide surface sloping away from said door at the tip, merging at its base with the abutment surface of said stop and adapted for engagement by the heel of said door or window.
2. The combination of a swinging door or Window, a frame therefor having a stop at the hinge side, a guide secured to said frame and having a directing leg of resilient sheet metal curved at its tip away from said door and provided with an uninterrupted guidesurface merging at its base with the abutment surface of said stop and adapted for engagement by the heel of said door or window. 3. The combination of a swinging door or window, a frame therefor having a stop at the hinge side, an angle shape guide having a fastening leg secured to said frame and against said stop and a directing leg projecting into the opening of said frame at said stop with an uninterrupted guide surface sloping away from said door from base to tip and merging at its base with the abutment surface of said stop.
4. A guide for swinging doors or windows adapted for attachment to the stop of a frame at the hinge side comprising an angle shaped member of resilient sheet metal having one leg curved inwardly from base to tip toward the other leg and screw holes in said other 18 7 in witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 26th day of September, 1928.
