DOOR CHECK.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE- SAMUEL A. ARMSTRONG, OF GIBSON CITY, ILLINOIS.
DOOR-CHECK.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 244,162, dated July 12, 1881. Application filed June 1, 16381. (Model) To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL A. ARMSTRONG, of Gibson City, in the county of Ford, and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door Checks or Stops and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,making a part of this specification, and inwhich- Figure 1 represents my improved device as applied to the base-board, with the door secured in an open position; Fig. 2, a modification of the same; Fig. 3, a view showing the device as secured to the floor.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the class of door checks or stops and a retainer for the door; and to this end the invention consists in novel features of construction and combination and arrangement of parts, all as will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claim. 7
In the drawings, A represents the door, and B the base-board or wainscot, to which the stop or retainer 0 is affixed by prongs c 0 and staples d d, all as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
The retainer or door check or stop is formed from a single piece of wire with incline e and. recess f, for the reception of the vertical edge h of the door, the shoulders g g, formed by said recess, acting as a stop or check to prevent the door striking against the wall, and also holding the door in position when opened. The prongs c c are bent at right angles, and then again bent at right angles to enter the baseboard or Wainscot, the arms 12 1) thereof serving as a bearing to steady the check or retainer.
The door check or retainer, instead of having the prongs c 0, can have the arms I) 11, provided with coils aa, to give increased elasticity, and the prongs c c bent at right angles and provided with eyes 0 0, through which nails, screws, or staples may pass for securing it in position, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, or the prongs and eyes turned or bent so that it may be secured to the floor, if desired.
The door check and retainer might also be made from a flat strip of spring-steel; and it will be observed it can be secured to the wall of aroom so as to engage the door at any point from the bottom to the top thereof. When the door is thrown open and back toward the wall it will readily pass the incline e and enter the recess f, in which position it will be retained and at the same time prevent the knob from striking the wall. By pressing back the incline e the door can be readily released when it is desired to be closed.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The herein-described door check or stop and retainer, composed of a single piece having incline e, recess f, shoulders g g, arms b, and fastenin g-pron gs 0, connected to the wall, baseboard, or floor, and adapted to engage the front vertical edge, h, of the door, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of April, 1881.
SAMUEL A. ARMSTRONG.
