`A further object of the inventionis to provide mechanism for supporting a .sliding doorsuch that the door may be connected to such mechanism by a relative movement `in the plane of the door itself.
A still further object of the invention is .to'pro-V vide means for supporting a sliding door comprising hanger members to which the door may be readily secured after the hangers have been r mounted in the casing; `the connection being such i as will be unlikely to become loose fin use `of the door.` To these and other ends the invention consists i in the novel `features and combinations of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.` i
In the accompanying drawing: i Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front elevational view of a door provided with hangers embodying my i4; It will be fitted-thatthetoqyportion ofthe .txtnds deva rdiybelewiherails f Mi `andisprvided'vvith` aiflat ibase 23 adapted to rest on the top edge of the door. s i u d Secured to the top edge ofthe door are a pair `of lag screws24 arranged in spaced relation, and lthe base 23 of the hanger is provided with slots tanger f2 slot 25, for a purpose to be hereinafter described,
and adjacent. this slot is a recessed seat 2T in 3d which it adapted to rest the washer 28 of thercorresponding lag screw 24.
As has been already stated, the inish` members 6 are notput in position until after the door has been hung, and, as shown more particularly in Fig. 2, openings 29, 30 and 3| are formed rey spectively in the members I4, I3and` the member 32 below the plaster to provide access to the heads of fthe lag screws `.sothat they may be readily tightened. It will be seen that-.before the finish member IE is in place, the lag` screws will be accessible through these openings"y and a wrench may be used to seat themdown securely upon the upper surfaces of the base 23.
In the` use of the hangersit will beunderstood hthat they are positioned in the-door frame or casw i ing upon thel rails I4 before the frame is put in i place in the partition. f After theframe has been so placed, the lag screws 24are placed in the door, but the heads left some distance from` the upper surface of the door, as shownin Fig. 3. After this has been done the* door is put into place in the frame, and, asshown inFig. 3,`the longer slot 26 may be placed over one lof the screws, and
the hanger tilted siightiy so that the other enc of the hanger` will clear the head of the adjacent lag screw and drop down into position upon the r upper edge of the door. At this time the hanger may be moved to the left so that the slot 2B will engage below the head of the adjacent screw, as shown in Fig. 5. When the screw is seated at the bottom of the slot 25, the screws may then be tightened upon the base by a wrench through the openings 29, 30 and 3|. When the right-hand lag screw is tightened down, the washer will iit against the shoulder of the recess 21, so that the base 23 will be held between this shoulder and the lag screw at the other` end of the base, to prevent any tendency of the hanger to slip with respect to the door. After the door has been hung, the trim members I6 and I1 may be nailed in place, thus completing thejob.
slot at each end thereof to receive lag screws secured to the door, and one of said slots being longer than the other whereby the base member may be engaged with one screw and thenA moved longitudinally of the door to be engaged with the other.
2. A door hanger for a sliding door, said hanger comprising an inverted T-shaped member having a base adapted to beI secured to the top of the door and a body portion projecting upwardly `from the central portion of the base, a roller i rotatably mounted at each side of said body porl`tion at the upper end thereof, said base member havingv at each end a slot opening through the After the door has been securedvto the hanger,
the t'rim members 33 arealso nailed in place,
-fwhich members will hold the door against transverse movement. y It will be seen that I have provided a door hanger for sliding doors `which may be very cheaply and 'conveniently made, and can be mounted upon the spaced rails I4 and thereafter connected to the door vitself after the door frame has been put into place inthe partition.
,While I have shown and described a preferredembodiment of my invention, it will be understood that it is not to be limited to all of the details shown, but is capable ofvmodiiication and variation within the spirit of the invention and within the scope of the claims.
