Description
7 Jan. 14, 1930. I v. NEWREN 1,743,379
DOOR HOLDER Filed Aug. 6, 1928 I yL CZOTE Patented Jan. 14, 1930 UNITED STATES VICTOR NFIWREN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS I noon HOLDER Application filed August 6, 1928.
My invention relates to a door holder. Particularly, the invention relates to a device of this kind for use on any kind of swinging door, such for example, as a garage door. The holder functions automatically when the door has been swung open to a pre determined angle to lock the door in such open position, so that the same may not accidentally be closed as by a sudden gust of wind. Obviously, if such a door is not held open, it might very easily be damaged by the vehicle entering or leaving the garage. A simple'trip member is also included in the holder to unlatch the same so that the door may be closed. 7
The primary object of the invention is to provide an improved and simplified door holder for doors of the swinging type, so that the same may be cheap to produce and will lend itself readily for use on standard doors Without altering the structure thereof. Another object is to provide an improved unlatching device for the holder to enable the door to be closed. Other objects will be apparent as the disclosure of the invention proceeds.
These objects are achieved by this invention which briefly comprises in combination with a swinging door, a holder pivotally mounted thereon and having an enlarged head at the end thereof remote from the door slidable in a slotted keeper mounted in the door opening frame. WVhen the door has been opened to a predetermined angle the enlarged head on the holder drops by gravity out of the slot in the keeper to lock the door against accidental closing. An unlatching device to release the holder is also provided.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrating a practicable embodiment of the improved door holder of this invention:
Figure 1 is an end elevational view of the holder in the position it assumes when holdin the door open;
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the holder in folded position as when the door is closed; Figure 4 is a front elevational view, partly Serial No. 297,637.
channeled member 14 secured by bolts 15 to the top frame member 10, said keeper having a long slot 16 in its bottom terminating in an enlarged hole 17. This channel fixture is very simple and is mounted in the door frame without altering the standard door structure I in any way.
The holder comprises an arm 18 having at one end an upturned neck 19, head 20, and stop'21, the neck 19 adapted to ride in the slot 16 of the keeper. The opposite end of the holder arm 18 is detachably connected by a pin 22 between two spaced ears 23 on a disk 24. The ears 23 are continuations 1 of strengthening flanges 25-on the disk. The disk is formed with an arm extension 26 and is pivotally mounted by means of a bolt 27 on a cap or bracket 28 securedin any approved manner to the door 13. A pull chain 29 and handle 30 are connected to the end of the lever arm 26 as shown.
To explain the operation of the door holder it is to be assumed that it is desired to open the i 7 door 13 which is closed as indicated in Figure 3. In this position the holder is, of course, inactive. The operator now swings open the door, which causes the neck 19 to slide from its position at the left in Figure 4 to its position at the end of the slot at the right in Figure 4 when the door has swung to a predetermined open position. The head 20 is now in register with the enlarged opening 17 and as'a. result the head drops by gravity into said enlarged opening. The stop 21 limits the drop of the head as will be understood. As'the neck 19 cannot now ride back into the slot 16 the door is positively held open.
When it is desired to close the door, the user pulls on the chain 29 by grasping the handle 30 which pivots the arm 26 to rock the disk 24 thus raising the arm 18 to cause the head 20 to move up so that the neck 19 is once more enabled to ride in the slot 16. The
'Fromthis detailed description it must now be appreciated that an improved door holder structure has been provided which achieves all of the desirable objects of the invention heretofore recited.
It is the intention to cover all such immaterial changes and departures from the illustrative embodiment described, as do not depart'from the spirit and scope of the invention as is indicatedin the subjoined claims.
What I claim is: V
