LAWRENCE SOULLY, OF MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI.
IM PROVEMENT IN WEATH ER-STRl PS Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 214,715, dated April 22, 1879; application filed July 24, 187 8.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LAWRENCE SoULLY, of Meridian, in the county of Lauderdale and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and Improved Weather-Strip for Doors, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a weather stop or fender for the bottom of outside doors in houses which will prevent wind and rain from beating in beneath the door.
My invention consists in forming a groove along the bottom edge of a door, and securing therein a wide strip of rubber, so that both edges of the strip project outside the groove. These projecting ends form, in connection with a suitable carpet strip, a perfect fender against wind and rain.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of a closed door with my weather-stop applied thereto, and Fig. 2 is an edge view of the door opened.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The door a represents the outside door of a house. I) is the carpet-strip, over which the c is a groove cut in the bottom edge of the door a, and extending the whole width thereof. d is a strip of rubber or similar elastic material, secured in the groove 0 by nails driven through it into the bottom of c, or in any other convenient way. The strip at is secured in such a manner that its edges project below the door the width of groove 0.
While the door is closing, the outside edge of the strip d will bend, and when the door is entirely closed, this strip will be outside of the rabbet in the carpet-strip b, as seen in Fig. 1, and the inner. edge of the strip will then rest upon I), or be bent beneath the bottom of the door, and form an additional stop.
The weather-stop thus made is eft'ective for keeping out wind, snow, and rain, and maybe readily applied to a door.
I am aware that it is not, broadly, new to insert a piece of rubber in a recess of the bottom of a door; but
What I claim is- The combination of door a, strip b, and rubber d, the middle portion of the latter being immovably secured in a groove, 0, in the bottom of door, the free edges of the same extending out, and yielding and folding in the operation of the door, as shown and described.
LAWRENCE SUULLY.
