1 Claim.
Thisapplication' is a-d-ivision--of my copending applicationSerial No; 536;6-'l9; filed May22, 1944, which: has-maturedintoPatent No. 2,4 43,515, dated June-15; 1948;
This invention relates to'door-pulls and' catches, and more particularly a door pull and catch applicable to sheet metal doors and sheet metal cabinets.
The principal object of my invention is to provide a door pull of simple and economical sheet metal construction, having one end of the handle bail bent to C-shaped section, to enter a slot provided therefor in the door panel, and the other end having a lug, to extend through another slot provided therefor in the door panel, to cooperate with a spring clip form of catch on the inside of the door panel, to hold the catch against turning out of operative position when a fastening screw is passed through the catch and door panel, and threaded in an opening in the end portion of the handle bail, whereby a single screw is all that is necessary for the secure fas tening of the handle bail and catch.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a sheet metal cabinet, each of the doors of which is equipped with a door pull and catch made in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional detail on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, illustrating the door pull and catch, and
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the catch and the lower portion of the handle bail forming the door-pull, the dot-and-dash lines indicating the manner of assembly.
The same reference numerals are applied to corresponding parts throughout the views.
The cabinet illustrated in Fig. 1 is of sheet metal construction throughout and its top and bottom panels 4 and 5 have the front edges 6 bent to channel-shaped cross-section for reinforcement of these parts and so as not to present any exposed raw edges at the front of the cabinet. The shelves 1 have their front edges bent to channel-form for a similar reason. The doors 8 and 9 with which the present invention is particularly concerned are hinged at It to the cabinet. Each of the doors is shown as made from a single sheet metal panel, the four edges of which are bent rearwardly and inwardly to define channels II to give the desired strength and rigidity and also to avoid exposure of any raw edges. A reinforcement I2 is preferably provided in the middle portion of the doors in the form of a-di'shed slreetimetal panel'f the flanged edges' ofwhich are spot-welded: to the-inner side-of the door;
The -doors"--8"and-=9 i 3 and-springcatches' and 3. The pull comprises a sheet metal bail member l5, forming a generally C-shaped handle, one end of which is bent downwardly and upwardly to form a O-shaped clip 16, which can be entered easily through a slot l1 provided in the door, to interlock that end of the handle bail with the door. Another slot I8 is provided in the door in vertically spaced relation to the slot El, adjacent the other end of the handle bail, which has a portion [9 bent at right angles to the end portion of the bail, for abutment with the outside of the door, a small lug 20 being provided on the edge of the portion l9 and at right angles thereto, and arranged to pass through the slot :3 and into a slot 2| on the attaching end portion 22 of the catch [4, which is disposed in abutment with the inner side of the door. The attaching end portion 22 of the catch is bent at right angles to the body of the catch, and is vertically adjustable with respect to the inner side of the door. A screw 23 is entered through the slot 2i and through a hole provided in the door, and is threaded in a hole 24 provided in the bent end portion IQ of the handle bail, whereby to fasten the catch to the inside of the door and at the same time fasten the adjacent end portion of the handle bail securely to the door on the outside. The vertical slot 2|, which may be closed at the upper end, if desired, serves a double purpose: it permits vertical adjustment of the catch It with respect to the handle bail, in order to get the catch into proper relationship to the keeper slot 25, provided in the web of the have-'- improved door-pulls channeled front edge portions 6 of the bottom panel 5; and it cooperates with the lug 20 to prevent rotation of the catch M with respect to the screw 23, thus making it practical to rely upon a single screw for the fastening of the door-pull and catch to the door. Rubber bumpers 2B are preferably mounted on the web portion of the channeled edge portions of the top and bottom panels, as indicated in Fig. 2, for abutment with the channeled upper and lower edge portions of the doors, to silence the closing of the doors and prevent rattling.
It is believed the foregoing description conveys a good understanding of all of the objects and advantages of my invention. The appended claim has been drawn with a view to covering all legitimate modifications and adaptations.
I43- illustrated-in Figs: 2-
I claim:
A door pull and catch structure comprising, a panel formed with a pair of handle receiving slots and a bolt aperture, a handle formed from a single elongated piece of metal, one end of said handle being bent C-shapefor detachable engagement in one of said handle receiving slots, the other end of said handle being bent inwardly toward the C-shape end of the handle and substantially parallel to said panel and provided with a threaded aperture and having a prong formed at its inner end projecting laterally through the other of said handle receiving slots, a detent spring clip comprising a generally L- shape body, one leg of which has a bowed detent portion formed thereon near the free end thereof to be inserted into a keeper slot, the other leg of said detent spring clip providing an attaching portion disposed in abutment with the inside of said panel and having an elongated longitudinally extending slot formed therein to receive the aforesaid prong on the handle for adjustment of the detent'spring clip relative to said handle, and a fastening screw entered through said slot in the detent spring clip and through said bolt aperture provided in said panel and threaded in said aperture provided in the inwardly bent end portion of the handle to fasten the handle and detent spring clip in adjusted relation against opposite sides of said panel.
