1 Claim.
-. horizontal extensions of the tracks.
Such tracks are sometimes irregular in form or position so that the rollersof the door bind in or on the tracks, making the operation of the door diflicult or troublesome hence the object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction whereby the rollers on the door accommodate themselves to irregularities in the tracks. I
The invention is embodied in the example herein shown and described the features of novelty being finally claimed.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. l is a front view of a fraction of the lower portion of a door according to the invention and of the species herein first referred to.
Fig. 2 illustrates in front view a detail of one of the hinges connecting the door sections equipped with the spindle and roller the latter being in section.
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the detail shown in Fig. 2 with the guide or track arrangement added the latter being in horizontal section.
In the views 5 designates the door panels these 35 being connected at their ends by hinges including leaves 6 and 7 fastened to adjacent panels and having perforated alined ears 8 and 9 respectively connected by a pintle 10 held from accidental removal by a cotter pin 11. On the laterally projecting end of the pintle is loosely placed the roller that in the instance shown includes generally a hub 12 and a rim 13 with roller bearings between the rim and hub.
In the example shown the rollers are of a form to travel in. guides or channels 14, 14, at opposite sides of the door frame, said channels being of sheet metal bent at its front and. rear sides so as to confine the roller. Said channels or guides are shown as bolted to an angle iron 15 that in turn is bolted to the door frame 16.
Such doors are usually, in practice, counterbalanced or partly counterbalanced by a spring or springs acting on cables 17 the latter attached to lateral pins 18 suitably secured to brackets at the opposite corners of the lowermost panel of the door. The door can therefore be quite easily operated because as it is raised its weight is transferred to the horizontal tracks or channels. Such a door is particularly useful in the construction of garages but can be used in other structures and by the term door I include a shutter or any analogous structure for closing an opening.
It will be noted that each roller, by reason of its capacity for lateral movement or play on its spindle, readily shifts inward or outward on the spindle to accommodate itself to any irregularities in the channel or on a track so that easy traveling is insured.
The forms of the parts can be changed without departing from the gist of the invention as
