July 24, 1951 H. W. BASCOM Filed Aug. 24, 1949 Patented July 24, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT 0F F ICE DOOR Hugh'W. "Bascom,"Panora, Iowa .Application August. 24, 1949, fSerialiNo. 112,000
,6 Claims.
l My. inventionmelates toV a .novel Ltype door .fthat isdesignedwith a vertically arranged open .por- `tion ,extending .substantially the length ofthefdoor and `having a storage space in `the ldoor to house va glass panel `.and screen portion respectively, f
`which canbe individuallymoved` into theopenng .when desired. This inventionis infeIectwa-.combinationxscreen and storm door and 4whilethis .type of .door `is not new, .my door .contains Afeatures notzfound the-type'door currentlyintuse. `Present type combinationlscreen andfstormvdcors :generally consist of a permanent .frameiportion having an opening designed to receive :a glass panel or screen :member `at times. These .glass and screen portions are detachable andrwhensnot in use .must be :stored away fin-:some :place rsuch :as ,abasement garage or the like Wherestheyeare susceptibleto .damage and breakage. .Consequently, each timea glass vrpanel .isinterchangedtwith `the `screen portion land `vice `versa the .n respective .parts must be .handled and. moved, thereby iin- `creasing thepossibility of breakageandlidamage.
These objections `Ihave overcomefinfmyinavention, the principal :obj ect .of `Whichjs :.to spro- Vvide a door witha longitudinaliopeningitherein 1 Aand which door. vis ,provided 1withian1inner ,com-
`pertinent adjacent .the .opening tchousega glass panel and screen portion respectively thattarel capable of moving into the openingeat times.
A further objectof .this inventionlistoprovide a combination: screen andistorm '.doorzwhereinzthe :screen and glass portion: canzxbe:storedtwithimthe door when :not 1in use andwhich `doorwhenpused as either `a screen or stormtdoor willzlfiave:afone piece glass or screen'po-rtion respectivelyffree: of
any separating orfsupportingfstrips visibieiinathe portion arranged f within thesdooropening.
A stillfurther object `of this .invention is=to providea door witha longtudinalopening,;xand storage to house a screen fiandglass portionzrespectively that `are .designed to move into the opening at times and Which door is refined in appearance, economical in manufacture and durable 1n use.
These and other objects `will be apparent-to those skilled in the art.
My invention `consists inthe construction, arrangement, and combination of the variousrparts ofthe device, whereby thei'objects contemplated are attained as hereinafter'more fullyfsetfforth, pointed out in my` claims, andillustratedv in the i accompanying drawings, in'which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of my door showing the glass panel in the opening, and ready for use,
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the lower porr3-Spf Fig. 1,` and `fFig. l :is a cross-.sectional view `.of this `door on ALan .enlarged -scale :taken on `the line .4.4 or Fig.` 1.
Referring tothe drawings, `I have `usen the numeral `I0 .to `designate ,aldoor frame provided with the vertical longitudinalopening Il that-extends @substantially Athe n length of v`the frame d0. The front and back sidesvof the `frame :I0 `.are .spaced aparttoform .the compartment I2that exytendslfrom Iall insidemarginal edges of .theirame I 0 -to and communicating with the opening I I.
On each side of the upperand llowerdportions respectivelyof the opening II are thetransverse .slots lf3, I4I5,andl6 that haveoneendarespectively .in `communication `with lthe -kopeninag II, as shown in=Fig. v1. Theslots I3 and III- fare transversely oppositeleach otheriand the slots [Sand -.I Isaresmilarlypositioned.
The numerals If'I` and I 8. designaterod members .transversely arranged respectively `in the :lower :and ,upperV portions ,of the s compartment; |12, f The ,numeral '159 .designates an elongated kglass cpanel arranged in a, suitable frame 2D which isgprovded with .the .outwardly extending neg members 2 I .and `2-2 "respectivelyfon .oneside of lthe lowerand :upper arportion l thereof,.- as shown in Rg. `l. @'Ihe .bottomandtop edgesof the frame20 respectively :sare provided with rod :grooves y:253 and 214. The
` 'thispositiontheframe20 is laterallyslidableginto the opening I` I'When desired.
"ThenumeralfZS designates ,an elongatedscreen ,member .arranged in a., suitable frame 26 .thatis .provided with. the outwardly extendingplg. mem- 4.bers .21 and 28 .respectively on one `side @of ,the .lowenand upper .portion` thereof,` as shown inwFg. The bottom and top @edges V re,spectively of the screen frame 26 are provided with `:grooves fsimiiar :to .the,.1grooves `:.23 @and 24 on the glass l'linefl screen i member 215 `within its iframe +26 1 is ldesigned to*be*'vertically-positioned within the in the same manner as described for the glass l panel member.
` on the screen portion serve as a nnger grip means to facilitatethe manual sliding ofthe respective frames4 2D and 26, as desired. The peg members are arranged on the side of their respective frames that are adjacent the opening II.V In this posi,- tion, the upper peg ZI on the glass frame 2B and the upper peg21 on the screen frame 2E are del!n signed to be slidable within the upper slots ,I3
and I4. likewise, the lower pegs 22 and `E8re- Y spectively are slidable within the lower slots' I5 and It. By this arrangement, the screen orglass portion not positioned in the' opening II canbe' laterally moved into its respective portion of the compartment I2 where it does not interfere with the opening I I. Here it is in a storage place safe from' damage or breakage,yet is instantlyavailable for use without any lifting or carrying. To
move any respective glass or screenk'member it f isnecessary only to grasp the respective peg'grip members and laterally slide the respective frame as desired into or out of the opening II.
In my door, neither the glass panel nor screen l member has any partitions or other supports or braces visible in the opening it and thereby a f clear unobstructed glass panel or screen inthe opening II is provided.
When this door is used as a storm door the compartment I2 further providesfan air space that serves to aid in retarding the passage of cold air to the inside. i
If desired, the screen may be moved partially into the opening I I, and the other portion of the opening closed by the glass frame member, there- Y by making any combination of screen-glass closure desired. By the opening II, being vertically and centrally located, a very attractive door is provided, and one that gives' excellent building. l i Y,
Some changes may be made in the construction and arrangement oi my door without departing from the real spirit and-purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claims, any modified forms of structurefor. use
of Vmechanical equivalents which may be reasonably included within their scope.
