ABRAHAM PARKMAN, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO W'ILLIAM M. GRISOOM, MAT'IHAN HARBSTER, AND WILLIAM HARBSTER, ALL OF READING, PENNSYLVANIA.

DOOR-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,274, dated November 28, 1882.

Application filed May 1882. (No model.)

To all whom itmay concern Be it known that I, ABRAHAM PARKMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain Improvements in Barn-Door Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a barn-door hanger constructed in the peculiar manner fully described hereinafter; also, of the combination of the said hanger with acornice on the burn, for the twofold purpose of laterally guiding the hanger and of shielding the upper portion of the same and the rail on which its roller traverses from the weather and from particles of hay and straw.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved barn-door hanger; Fig. 2, avertical section of part ofthe barn door and the permanent structure to which itishung,showingtheimprovedhanger; and Fig. 3, a top view of the hanger.

A is the permanent wooden rail, to which the door B is suspended, and on which the wheel D of the hanger traverses.

The body of the hanger consists of a castiron plate, E, having lugs a, through which screws or bolts are introduced into or through the door B, forfirmly securing the hunger to the same.

0 The wheel D is hung to a pin, one end of 4.0 door laterally and shielding the said rail, the

roller, and upper portion of the hanger from exposure to the weather andfroin particles of hay or straw, which might interfere with the rail and moving parts'ot' the hanger.

A groove, 6, is formed in the cornice for receiving two rollers,ff, adapted to pins projecting upward from the top. of the hanger.

inclined in respect to the opposite sides of the groove, so that one roller will bear against one side and the other against the opposite side of the said groove-an arrangement which permits the rollers to rotate freely. At the same time the two rollers serve to guide the hanger laterally and insure the traversing ot' the door in a straight course.

The cornice G may be economically made of the four strips mp, q, and t, of wood, the strip q extending downward, so as to shield the rail and upper portion of the hanger and rollers, the strips being such that they can be put together without any expensive fitting.

I claim as my invention- 1. A barn-door hanger in which are combined a hanger-plate, E, a supportingwheel, D, and guide-rollers ff, the centers of which are in 'a line at an angle to the course of the wheel D, as set forth.

2. The combination of the rail A and a cornice comprising the wide strips 19 and q, the narrow intervening strip,n, and the coveringstrip t, with the hanger-plate E. having a wheel, D, adapted to the rail A, and rollers f f, adapted to the groove formed by the strips m1, and q, the centers of said rollers being in a line at an angle with the sides of the groove, as set forth.

In testimony whereofl have signed my name o this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ABRAHAM PARKMAN.
