Description
ii )NITED TATES- PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM HENRY MULLER, OF SEWIGKLEY, PENNSYLVANIA.
DOOR-MAT FRAME.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,195, dated June 6, 1882.
. Application filed Aprill, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known tl1at I, WILLIAM H. MULLER, of Sewickley,Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Mat-Frames for Door-Mats, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 shows adoor-mat with myimprovement attached. Fig. 2 shows the mat-frame with mat removed.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the exact manner in which I have carried it out. My invention relates to mats which are designed to be laid at doorways, on which to wipe wet and muddy shoes; and it -consists of a combination of devices, hereinafter explained and claimed.
It is well known that door-mats as at present used are thrown flat on thefloor, and in that position serve well on which to wipe the bottoms of muddy shoes; but to wipe the sides of the shoes the person has to bend the ankle, or try to turn up a corner of the mat with one foot while he wipes the other. To overcome this difficulty is the object of my invention.
, In the drawings, A represents the body of a frame on which a door-mat is to be spread.
This frame is provided with a scraper, a, and dirt-pan B. Across the frame, and properly secured to its upper surface, I place the inverted-V- shaped strip 0, as, shown in Fig. 2, extending alittle beyond thesides of the frame A, which is provided with screw-holes at different points, so that the position of the strip 0' can be readily and conveniently changed when desired. Two strips may be used, so as to pass the foot between them and clean both sides of the shoe at the same time.
It isevident from this description that when the mat is spread on the frame, as shown in Fig. 1, a fold will be formed against which the sides ofa muddy shoe maybe wiped with entire convenience.v The mat may be kept in place on the frameby hooks, orany other well-known means.
Having thus explained my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
As a new article-of manufacture, a matframe consisting of the body A, provided with ascraper, a, and dirt-pan B, in combination with the inverted-V-shaped strip G, all constructed to operate substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
WILLIAM HENRY MULLER.
