WEATHER-STRIP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,536, dated March 27, 1883.
Application filed November 16, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOSEPH WALKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Belleville, in the county of Republic and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Weather-Strip, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lower part of a door and door-frame to which m y improved weather strip and threshold has been applied. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same, showing the door closed. Fig. 3 is a detail view ofthe threshold. Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view on the line a; m, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a side view of the door, and Fig. 6 is adet-ail view of the weather-strip detached.
The same letters refer to the same parts in all the figures. v
This invention relates to weather-strips for doors and thresholds, to be used in combination therewith; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction of the same, which will he hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
A in the drawings represents the door, which is prepared for the reception of the weather-strip by simply forming a deep groove or recess, B, in its lower edge.
0 is the Weatherstrip, which consists of a plate of metal of the same length as the width of the door, in the recess B of which it is fitted.
l) is a metallic or wire hail, the arms E of which have transverse pins F, by which they are pivoted in boxes or bearin gs G, consisting of small suitably-constructed brackets secured upon the outside ofthe door, near its lower edge. The arms E of the bail D extend through slots H in the door, and into slots I, formed in the weather strip or plate U, nearits ends. Upon the inner sideof the door are provided brackets or bearings G for a pivoted arm, J, extending through a slot, K, in the door, and into a slot or hole, L, formed centrally in the weatherstrip plate. The weather-strip, by its own gravity, sinks down below the edge of the door, but is prevented from dropping out by the ends of arm J and hail D. By pressing upon either of these the weather-strip may be raised, so as to be flush with the lower edge of the door. In this position it may be retained by a spring-catch, M, secured upon the side of the door and engaging the bail D.
The thresholdN consists oftwo parts or pieces, 0 P, the former of which has arecess,Q,to receive a flange, R,cxtending from the latter so as to form a tight joint when the parts are placed in position. Blocks or plates S may be interposed between the adjoining ends, in order to fit the threshold to a door-frame of a different width. The upper side of the threshold has a continuous groove, T, to receive the weather-strip in operation. The threshold may be secured in position by means of nails or screws, and its outer side is beveled, as at U. Openings V are out from the groove T to the outside, to let out any water which may accumulate in said groove.
The operation of my invention will be readily understood. hen the door is closed the weather-strip, striking the beveled side of the threshold, is raised until the door is fully closed, when it drops by its own weight into the groove T of the threshold. When in this position it forms a tight joint, and prevents wind and moisture from entering under the door. It also serves to retain the door in a closed position, and prevents it irom being opened until the bail D or arm J is depressed,
(which may be done by the foot of the person opening the door,) thus lifting the weatherstrip up out of the groove T.
My improved weather-strip is exceedingly simple in construction, and durable, audit, as well as the threshold, may be readily applied to any ordinary door.
I claim as my inventionl. The combination of the door having a groove at its lower edge,the vertically-sliding plate (3, having slots I, the brackets G, the pivoted bail D, having arms E, extending through slots H in the door into the slots l of the weather-strip plate, and the spring-catch M, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The threshold N, consisting of the parts 9 O P, provided respectively with a recess, Q, and flange R, and having the groove T and beveled side U, as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOSEPH WALKER.
