WITNESSES v INVENTUM UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE..
wAL'rON D. SMITH, OE PEOPHETSTOWN, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOE OE ONEHALE TO GEORGE SEYLLEE, OE SAME PLAGE.
DOOR-HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of `Letters Patent No. 244,775, dated July 26, 1881.
Application filed Apri118, 1881. (N o model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WALTON DUANE SMITH, of Prophetstown, in the county of -Whiteside and'State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Hangers 5 and I do hereby declare that the following isa full,c1ear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tO 'makeand use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specication.
Figure 1 is a front view, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view, of my improved doorhanger, the same being shownin position upon a barn-door.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
This invention relates to so-called doorhangers77 or brackets provided with rollers for suspending heavy doorssuch as barndoors-upon suitable tracks at the top of the door-frame; and it consists in certain improvementslin the construction of the same, which' will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
My invention, which is applicable to doorhangers of any well-known construction, has for its object to remedy a serious defect to which all devices of this class are exposedviz., the liability of the shank or bracket to break when the door attached thereto is blown outward by the wind or moved outward in any manner to the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2 ofthe drawings. When a rigid shank is used, as has heretofore been the case, a sudden gust of wind is often suieient to blow the door outward and snap the shank, which is usually made of cast metal, and thus destroying the hanger, which cannot always be replaced at shortnotice, and thus causing eonsiderable annoyance; or if the shank is not broken the roller is frequently thrown off the track, in which it is sometimes diicult to replace it.
In the drawings hereto annexed, A represents the plate or bracket, which is provided with screw-holes B for securing it to the top of the door. C is the shank of said bracket, to which the head-plate D is attached by means of ahin ge consisting of a pair of curved arms, E E,'extendin g from the head-plate and embracing the rounded Or curved head C ofthe doorshank. By this arrangement injury to the hinges by any lateral movement of the door is prevented, while the door is permitted to swin g freely Outward, so as to accomplish the object of the invention. Aroller, F, adapted to travel upon the track above the door, is mounted, in the usual manner, in the head-plate D.
The operation and ad muta-ges of my invention are obvious.
The hinge-connection enables the door to swin g Outward without any possibility of breakage and without danger of the door being blown oft' the track.
I would have it distinctly understood that I do not limit myself to any particular construction of hinge or joint. Any suitable wellknown construction may be used without changing the nature of my invention.
I am aware ot the patent to Patterson, October I9, 1880, for improvements in car-doors, and I claim nothing therein shown.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to 'secure by Letters Patent of the United States- As an improvement in door-hangers, the head-plate D, having caster or roller F, and curved arms E E, in combination with the shank 0,having curved or rounded head, and
a suitable hinge-bolt, whereby lateral play of the door is' permitted and the shank C relieved from strain, as herein described, for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WALTON DUANE SMITH.

GEO. E. PADDOOK, HENRY It. KENT.
