DOOR HOLDING DEVICE Filed Jan. 25. 1928 *1 ,zqlf 16 4 Patented June 2, 1931 1 WILLIAM G. BLACK, or -c nv-EL.Aivn,-' OHIO noon. HOLDING t e f Application filed January 25, 192a. semi Rio. 249,291."
This invention relates to door holders and more particularly to devices for holding garage doors in a desired open position or. a closed position.
' '5 The main object of the invention is to provide a door holder of simple and inexpensive and practical construction, which is conveniently and easily operated for causing the doors to be held or for releasing the same.
Another object of the invention is to utilize the action of the coils of a coiled spring for gripping a rod to lock the rod against movement and thereby hold doors in open or closed positions.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention will be hereinafter fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the novel features thereof will be distinctly pointed out in the appended 29 claims.
In the drawings, similar characters ofreference are used to designate corresponding parts.
v Figure l is a horizontal sectional View of a building'at the door opening thereof, the cross beam of the door opening being removed, which view illustrates one of the doors in open position and the other in closed position with devices'constructed in accordance with V 39 my invention applied thereto,
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view, on an enlarged scale, taken on line ure 1, v
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the bracket member with a portion of the rod encircled by the coiled spring in gripping position, Fig. 4 is a side elevation of Fig. 3, Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 3, p I v 49 Fig. 6 is a similar view taken on line 6i6 of Fig. 3, and o o Fig. 7 is an end view of the lug side of the bracket member. s V
Referring to the drawings, 1 and 2 represent a pair of doors hinged as at 3 to the wall of the garage adjacent the door opening 4, and 5 indicates the cross-beam of said door opening. Fixed in each door near the upper ends thereof is an eye member 6 for receiving the turned down end? of a rod 8,
which. is loosely 'mounted in aligning openings, indicated by 9, ofthe opposite sides 10 and 11- of a-bracket member-12. cross pin 13 retainsthe end '7 of'th-e' rod 8' inthe eye memberQG. Thebracket member'12 is pivotally connected at 1 1' to a supporting plate 15, which is fixed to the cross-beam 5 of the door opening by screws or bolts :at-16.
For locking the slidably mountedrod' 8 to the bracket member 12 so as to hold thefdoor against movement, a coiled spring 17 -of 'suitable strength is arranged upon said rod between the sides 10 and 11 0fthe bracket mem- 'ber 12-:for' normally gripping the rod. One
end 18 of the coiledspring 17 is bent'at a right angle and passes through an opening 19 of the sidei'lO of the bracket member 12 for '7 holding the'same, and the other end of said coiledspring'provides a -lever arm 20 for operating saidcoiled spring. The arm 20 terminates ina'n eye or'loop 21'- for thekattachm'ent of a 'pull-chainjorc'o'rd 22 for convenience in operating the'coiled spring 17. The side- 11 6f the bracket -member 12 is retain the arm-21':
wardly and swung under the IugQtbymeanS 'of the chain 22, the coils of'the. coiled spring 17 openand thereby release the rod 8, and as the bracket member 12 isipivotally supported,
the door may be moved-to its open or closed position. By pulling upon the chain 22 and disengaging the arm 20 of the coiled spring from the lug 24, the coils of said coiled spring close upon and grip the rod ,8 thereby locking said rod and the-dooroagainst movement.
It will be understood that slight changes in the details of construction may be made within the scope of the claims.
Having fully described my invention, what I I claim is:
the bracket ina set position. 7 I
1. In a door holder, the combination of a rod, a coil spring adapted to normally grip the rod, one end of the coil spring being fixed, and the other end of the coil spring extending at an obtuse angle therefrom for providing a lever arm for manually operating said coil spring and causing it to release saidrod.
2. In a door holder the combination of a rod, a coil spring adapted to normally grip the rod, one end of the coil spring being fixed and the other end of the coilspring extendingat an obtuse angle therefrom for providing a lever arm for manually operating sa1d c011 spring and causing it to release said rod, and means for retaining said lever arm When'in position for causing said coilrsprin'g :to release said rod. 1
3. In a door. holder, the combination of a :1 i
rod, a pivotally supported bracket; the rod being slidably mounted in the bracket,;a:coil spring encirclin having one end fixed to said bracket, and the V I said rod, the coil spring other end of the coil spring extending at an obtuse angle from said firstendfor serving as a lever arm for manually actuating said coil spring to cause it to grip and release said rod.
. 4. In adoor holder, the combination of a rod, a pivotally supported bracket, the rod being slidably mounted inthe bracket, a coil spring encircling said rod having one endfixed to said bracket, the other the coil spring end of the coil spring extending-at an obtuse angle from said first end for serving as a lever arm for manually actuatingvsaidcoil spring to cause it .togrip andrelease said rod, an d having means adapted to retain said arm in a set position; I v
5. Ina door holder, the combination of a 1 rod, a pivotally supported bracket,,,the bracket having a pair of sides and aligning openings therethrough, the rod being slidably mounted in said openings, a 'coilspring enclrcllng said rod betvveensa1djs1des,'one end of the coil spring being fixed to onej'otsaid sides, thepther'endof said-coilspring extending at an obtuse angle from said fir st end .r r for serving as an arm for manually actuating saidhcoil'spring, and the otherlside of said bracket being slotted and a portion'thereoi a bent inwardly for providing'a lug adapted to retain said arm for holding the coil spring I In testimony whereof 15311;, myjs'i nature.
