REVERS IBLE DOOR'FRAME By @Mm A Homey Patented Oct. 6, 1931 t .qui
REVERSIBLE 1 v l appneation'measuiy 31;'
is to provide a door-frame which will be of t neat appearanceand whichwill be far more 'u Vdurable than the` woodentrames now generally employed.A y l*These and yother" important objects of the invention will become more apparent to the reader after considering the invention as described 'and' claimed hereinafter.
In the drawings v Figure 1` represents novel frame. v 20 Figure 2v represents a fragmentary per` aside elevation of the spectiveview of the frame', showing the keys v Y the sideportion l:12 'or the side portion? 12, i 'on fthe proper. side of thedoor opening. 1 ,r v Q r A f -f The side member' of the frame is. provided for receiving plaster.y
vFigure 3 is a perspective View of the upper end of one of the side frame pieces.`
Figure 4 is a section onxlines' 4- 4 of Fig- Aurevl. Figure. 5 is a section on line 5 5 of Figure 1, and Figure 6 is a section on line 6 6 of Figure '1.l
fReferring to the drawingsy wherein like numerals designate like parts, it will be seen thatl the usual frame will necessitate a pair ot vertical frame pieces 5 5 and a horizontal connecting piece 6 bridgingl the upper ends it of the vertical side pieces 5 5.' Each of the A rriframe pieces .isconstructedof sheet metalA yand built on a beam 7 ofivood This beam acts `as a filler and the frame piece is secured side member. They metal'p'lates of the side edges of the sheet metalplate constructed to tops offtheir respective filler beams and are'T 95 cut on a angle, as is illustrated in'Figure 3.` Whenv the frameis assembledfas i'sshown across three sides thereoi".v -Thelongitudinal -4-5 form each frame rpiece are secured as at 8 8 to the liller beam v7, andthese edge portions ofthe plate are struck out to provide plaster receiving keys 9 which are in horizontal parallel relation.
The plate at the diametrically opposite THOMAS ir. Mannen AND` WILLLAM T. M CHGH, on rrrrsnunen, PENNSYLVANIA sides .of the ltillerV 7 are ldisposedy outwardly to provide walls abuttingshoulders v1() against which the plaster 'ofV the/wall may abut.V The'sde portionsr 11 and 11 of the shoulder remote from the longitudinaledgess fof the plate merge intoV right angular vbent portions 12 and 12 disposed around'a'pa'ir of the filler beam corners and thus secured by suitable means 13." The forwardly disposed legs of the corner portion `12y and 12 `provideGfG-'J j'ambsurfaces 14 and 14' on the face'of the iiller beam at right angles. to thedoor surlfaces. i
Thesesurfaces lit and 14" are connectedzby an intervening channel'iribl` formingan abutting shoulder 415 Whichis olisetci withfr'espect to the longitudinal center ofthe frame so as to bepositionedclosert'o one side edge thereof thanto the other. This permits i a comparatively thick door to abutfone' sideuA of the shoulder, and upon reversing the framecgi piece,-a comparatively thinner door may be used t0 abutthe opposite side of the shoulder 15". Thisv obviates the necessity otconstructingy separate frames for doors of different crosssectional thicknesses since the frame otc the invention isreversible toY dispose either pair of slots 16 to permitthehinges of ka rdoor tok besecured directly to the wooden sillfr7 u and the'otherpo'rtionl 12`thereof' is provided with nvopenillg 17fto permitvthe securing to the sill 7 of a suitable keeper'plate for theo striker ofthejdoor lock (not shown). The side memberf is also 'provided with similar members -5 and 5 extend upwardly above the iny Figure 1, the ends of the' liller beam 7 of the bridge member 6 rests upon the top 'ofthe beams 7 of the two side members 510C i as andv vvvand are vconfined between thel upper accommodate a keeper plate and door hinge extended ends ofthe plates. VThe Vifaciifigplate respectiyely to permitdireet attachment of of the top member 6 extendsfaroundvthe bot the Ysame to the wooden liller'block.
