DOOR CLOSER AND .MOUNT Filed Feb. 25, 1938 j ALV//v/Y/ amer# Patented Mar. 14, 1939 n UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Claims.
My invention relates to means for closing doors, and more particularly to a spring device and mounting for use upon screen-doors and the like. However, the principles of the instant device may be embodied in structures for closing auvariety of types of doors. y
The present device consists generally of a hollow vcylindrical coiled spring body having arms extended in one direction from its end convoluttions and other arms extended in an opposite direction from intermediate convolutions, said arms providing pressure members that are urged respectively against the door and the door frame. Combined with this spring structure is a mounting device that preferably embodies the characteristic that it may be separated or opened, after one of its parts is secured to the door-frame, for the purpose of assemblingthe spring structure therewith. The mounting device is constructed in a manner that permits it being closed and its movable part secured in place and thereby maintain the spring device against unintentional removal. Furthermore, portions of the mounting device are especially constructed in lorder ythat at no time will the pressure member which is nearest the mounting plate come into actual contact with the door or door-frame. This prevents marring or damaging the woodwork either during the installing of the door closer or during the use or operation of my improved device. The construction and arrangement of the parts is such that the device is easy to install and this may be done without the use of special tools. My improved door-closer is effective in performing its functions, and it is sturdily made so that it will withstand severe usage. Also it is economical to manufacture and therefore may be sold fora reasonable retail price.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent to persons skilled in the art after the construction and operation of my improved door-closer is understood from the within disclosure. I prefer tov practice my invention in substantially the manner hereinafterv fully described and as particularly pointed out in the appended claims. The accompanying drawing is referred to for a better understanding of the my door-closer and mount secured to a doorframe and in position for use.
Figure 2 is a top plan of the structure illusmated in Figure 1. Y
Figure 3 is a vertical section taken on line V3--3 of Figure 1.
the required length and of suitable gage, that` is bent Vat about its center of length into a presser member C that is formed with two connected arms 5 and is of a U-shape.. These arms extend tangent from the adjacent inner convolutions of 1 a yhollow c'ylindrical'bcdy composed of a pair of oppositely coiled springs 6 that are disposed in superposed axial alinement with 4each other, and
said coils are spaced from each other to provide a gap :r between the coils which permits entrance of the presser member arms 5 when the door is moved open to its fullest extent, thus preventing distortion of the closer device. The springs 6 are preferably right-hand and left-hand coils, and they afford the means for mounting the closer spring upon its supporting bracket. There are upper and loWer arms l that extend tangent from the outermost, or upper and lower convolutions of the cylindrical spring body and they project in a direction opposite to the presser member C. These arms are disposed substantially parallel to each other and at their outer and' free ends theyare provided with laterally disposed members 8 that are bent so as to extend towards each other so that they combine to provide a journal for the roller 9 that is rotatably mounted thereon. The journal members 8 may be readily inserted into the bore of roller 9 by spreading the arms 'l during assembly of the device, and after the roller has been properly disposed suitable means are clamped to the arms for the purpose of maintaining them in iixed relation tol each other so that they Will move simultaneously.v This clamping means is preferably a metal plate l0 that extends between the arms Tand has its end portions seamed or beaded around the Wire arms as shown at Il in the drawing, thus forming a connector which reinforces the structure. The arms l, together with the roller and its journals, provides another presser member which yieldably engages the door so that when the latter is moved the roller will have a rolling action against the engaged surface of the door and the cylindrical body will urge the door to a closed position when the door is released. y
The means for mounting the closer is preferably in the form of a bracket member that is preferably a two-part construction. As shown in Figure 1, this bracket `is made in such manner that one of its members remains rigidly mounted on the door-frame and the other member is Vwise movement thereof when said member is plained.
disposed between said lips. plates which are nearest the juncture of the door and door-frame there are L-shaped extensio-ns the shorter arms l5 and I6 of which project horizontally from upper and lower portions of the respective plates so as to position their respective longer arms Il and I8 in vertical positions and spaced from the bodies of the plates. These plates are oppositely shaped, to provide right-hand and left-hand elements and the said longer arms of the L-shaped extensions provide posts to receive the coiled cylindrical body of the closer device. As seen in Figures l and 3V the ends of the posts Il and IllY abut each otherland the facing edges of the'shorter arms I5 and I6 act as stops to be engaged with the outermost convolutions of the spring coils B forming the cylindrical body. The lower portions of the plates remote to the posts are preferably of a substantially right-angular formation with straight edge portions I9Vand 2U that abut each other preferably inthe plane of the abutting ends of the posts. The adjacent corners of the plates are rounded or arcuate as sho-wn. at 2| in Figure l the purpose of which will later be eX- 'I'he manner of mounting the door Vcloser and bracket is Very simple as is also the method of assembling the spring elements on the bracket. TheV first step is to anchor the bracket plates I2 and I3 upon the door-frame B with the closer structure omitted. These plates are preferably isposed in the manner shown in Figure l, theV posts Il and I8 being at one side of the juncture of the door and frame with the ends of the posts in abutting relation and with the straight edges I9 and 2) in contact. The securing means or screw y that is nearest the post Il of the upper plate I2 is then removed and the screw z loosened slightly so that the said plate l2 may be swung in an upward direction using the screw e as a pivot as shown in dotted lines. step is to insertl the coiled or cylindrical body 6 onto the post I8 which is accomplished by moving the closer member in a downward direction while pressing it inward towards the door -or door-frame. While performing this step the roller 9 is engaged with the door and the presser memberV C is always in contact with the metal plates adjacent their edge portionsY I9 and 20 which prevents marring or damaging the rln.- ish or surface of the door or frame.
position during which movement its post I'I enlters'the upper portion of the coiled cylindrical Y body E until its lower end abuts the end of the other post I8 and the straight edges I9 and 2U are contacting each other. The screw y is now replaced and the other or pivot screw e is tightened into position. In this nal position the lips or stops I4 will be engaged with intermediate portions of the arms 5 of the presser mem- Y ber C and prevent dislodgement of the latter;Y the end portion of said presser member will con- At the edges of the The next The final step is to swing the plate I2 back to its initial tact the surfaces of the plates; and the spring coils I5, 6, of the central cylindrical body will be maintained in position on the posts between the short lateral arms I5 and I I5 that connect the posts to the plates so that the coils aresubstantially encompassed by the mounting device. It will be observed that at no time does the presser member come into contact with the surface of the woodwork, either during the operation of mounting the door closer or during the use of my device.`
The plates of the mounting bracket are made in complementary shapes and they are constructed in a manner that permits this bracket structure to be Y readily mounted upon either the right-hander the left-hand'upright of the door frame depending upon which side the door is hinged. It will be seen that there is .a separate or individual post for each of thecoiled springs comprising the central cylindrical body with the result that there is less liability of the posts bending than where .a single post is used for the purpose of mounting the closer.
In the modified structure illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 the mounting plates are inserted in the usual space between the edge 4of the door and the adjacent side of the frame and thegposts project beyond the plane of the outer surface of the door to receive the central cylindrical body. The upper and lower complementary plates I2a and I 3a in this modification are flat throughout, and hence fo-r this purpose the same blank as used in the first-described form may be employed except that said blank need not be bent laterally forY the posts I'I andV I8 and the lips or stops I4 as in the rst form. vThis effects a saving asthe shaping or forming operations on the plates are eliminated and only the b-lanking operation is needed. This vmodif-led type of bracket structure is especially adapted for use in connection with door-closer devices such as disclosed in Figure 5 wherein both the pressermembers 22 and 423 are 'provided with rollers 9 respectivelyV to engage the outer faces of the door andthe doo-r frame. The-presser-member 23'is formed with arms 25 extending from the inner Vadjacent convolutions of Y the respective coils 6, E and said member is widened by providing the arms with oblique portions 26. 'This door-closer is fabricated from two pieces ofwire, andthe endsVV of the Wires forming the pressermember are bent laterally and extend towards each other to .provide the journals 21 for the roller. In order to provide rigidity the arms 25 are connected bya metal strip 28 that is beaded Y over the arms in the same manner as the strip I0 is connected to the arms of the other pressermember. .The manner of assembling the bracket with the door-closer in this modification is substantially the same as hereinbefore described in connection with the preferred form.
While I have herein disclosed a preferred form in which my invention may be made, it will be obvious that this is capable of 'variation and modification without departing from the principles involved.
