` GARAGE DOOR HOLDER Filed Sept. 8, 1944 Patented Nov. 6, 1945 UNITED STATES PATENT GFFICE GARAGE Doon HOLDER John E. McJimsey, Larkspur, Calif. Application september s, 1944, serial No. 553,220
2 Claims.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in holders for garage doors, the principal object being to provide a simplified and quick-acting holder for holding garage doors open while an automobile is either being brought into the garage or taken out.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a garage door holder which can be manufactured at low cost and which because of its sturdy construction will be durable and not as much liable to encourage defects as devices of this character now in general use.
Other objects and advantages of the invention shall become apparent to the reader of the following description.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the holder.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the holder,
Figure 3 is a fragmentary rear elevational view of the holder.
Referring' to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral denotes a stake of angle construction, the same having right angular iianges a, b.
On the upper portion of the stake 5 is disposed an angle plate 6 which at one vertical edgel has a bolt hole receiving a bolt l, this bolt also extending through a clamp plate 8 at the opposite side of the flange b of the stake 5in order to clamp the angle plate 6 rmly in position. The bolt 'I has a nut 9 and an overlapping lip I0.
The remaining vertical edge portion of the plate 5 has a pair of vertically spaced openings therein for receiving bolts II which extend through openings in clamp plates I2 at the opposite side of the stake 5 from the plate 6, thus clampingv this edge portion of the plate 6 firmly in position on the stake. The clamp plates I2 having lateral lips I3 which bear against the inner side of the angleplate E.
The clamp plates I2, I2 are vertically spaced as shown in Figure 1 and between these plates a pivot member I4 is disposed through the angle plate 8 and through the depending flange c of an elongated angle arm I5 which has a top horizontal flange d. Numeral I6 denotes a coiled tension spring interposed between the lower portion of the angle plate 6 and the rear end portion of the angle arm I5 for normally holding the I1 which rises to a point I8 substantially above the flange d of the arm I5.
It can now be seen, that in order to 'adapt the holder for use in conjunction with a garage door, the stake 5 is first driven into the ground, after which the angle plate 6 is properly adjusted to the correct elevation above the ground. The angle plate 6 is held in place by the bolts l, II and the clamp plates 8, I2. When the arm 5 has been properly set, it will be seen, that when a door I9 is swung to the holder, it will strike the incline I1 and depress the forward end portion of the arm I5, tensioning the spring I8. lWhen the door rides over .the upper portion I8 of the incline, the spring I6 will move the arm I5 to its normal horizontal position, thus holding the door I9 between the rise I8 and the angle plate 6.
angle arm in a substantially horizontal position as shown in Figure 1. t
The forward end of the arm I5 has an incline While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
l. A door holder comprising a right angular upright, a right angular clamp on the outside of said upright, a right angular arm pivotally connected to said clamp at right angles to said upright, said arm being provided with a beveled head over which a door is adapted to ride in depressing the corresponding end of said arm, and individual clamp' plates inside the edges of said upright and bolted to said right angular clamp forming channels therebetween adapted to receive the edge portions of said upright.
2. A door holder comprising a right angular upright, a right angular clamp on the outside of said upright, a right angular arm pivotally connected to said clamp at right angles to said upright, saidl arm being provided with a beveled head overwhich a door is adapted to ride in depressing the corresponding end of said arm, individual clamp plates inside the edges of said yupright and bolted to said right angular clamp forming channels between said individual clamps and said right angular clamp adapted to receive the edge portions of said upright, and a coil spring vhaving one of its ends secured to said right angular clamp andthe other end secured to said angular arm for returning the arm to normal position. y
