DOOR-SECURER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent.lN'o. 278,862, dated June 5, 1883. Application filed MarchS, 1883. (No model.) 7
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Autos BOUCHER, of Monclova, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inDoor-Securers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a-full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improvement in door-securers, the object of the same being to provide a portable device of small compass, that can be manufactured at asmall cost, and be durable and efficient in use; and it consists in the parts and combinations of parts that will be more fully described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improvement ina closed and locked position. Fig. 2 is a similarview, showing the securer in open adjustment; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same.
A represents the body or main portion of my securer, havinga plain or smooth inner face, and provided on its outer face, at its free end, with the teeth or spurs a, which latter are adapted to be forced into the door jamb or sill for the purpose of holding the-securer in position when pressure is applied to the door. This outer face is also provided with the abutment B, which latter is adapted to bear against the edge of the jamb or the edge of the sill and prevent the device from moving inwardly beyond an operative position as the door is closed on it.
0 is a leaf hinged to the rear end of the body A, and provided with the inwardly-projecting feet D, which latter, when the leaf 0 is turned so as to overlap the body A, forms an abutment against which the door bears, and which prevents the door from being opened when the leaf O-is in a locked position. This hinged leaf is also provided with a spring-catch, E, which latter is rigidly secured to the outer face of the said leaf, and is bent inwardly at right angles,
so as to project through the'leaf and body.
The loweror free end of the spring terminates in a catch which engages the lower face of the body and locks the two parts together.
F are metal plates, pivotally seem-ed, one
above the other, to the body A, and adapted to be turned so as to rest between the body A and the hinged leaf 0, or over the portion of the body A which bears against the doors. These leaves or plates are each provided with openings which register with the opening in the body Aand leaf 0 for thepassage of the springcatch' E. These plates Fare adapted to be turned around overthe outer free end of the body A, so as to fill up any space between the edges of the door and the door-jamb, and thereby prevent the spurs or teeth from working loose if continued pressure is exerted against the door. In the present instance I have shown two plates of uneven thickness 5 but it is evident that I can use one plate or more than two, and make them of even thickness; but I prefer to use more than one, as it enables me to more readily place it in position without cramping the door or disfiguring the door-frame. If, when placing the securer in position, it is found that the space between the edge of the door and the jamb is too large for the securer, one or more of the plates F are turned around so as to come between the door and the jamb and compensate for the extra space, thereby causing the teeth or spurs a to be firmly embedded in .the jamb when the door is closed thereon.
-When the hinged leaf is locked in position the plates E are prevented from turning, and consequently cannot be tampered with from the outside.
To secure a door by my device it is necessary to throw back the leaf 0 and place the toothed end of the body A against the door jamb or sill with the shoulder B thereof resting against the edge of the same. The door is then closed, during which operation the teeth a are forced into the jamb or sill and prevent the device from losing its position. If the space between the door and door jambor sill should prove too large to properly hold the device in position, one or more plates F are turned so as to fill up the extra space. After the door has been closed on the body, the wing G is thrown over into position, and the springcatch E, engaging the body A, holds the wing down in position. This brings theabutment D against the inner edge of .the door and prevents the door from being opened from the outside. hen it is desired'to open the door I from the inside the hinged leaf is unlocked and thrown open. --The door is then opened, which leaves the device free to be moved.
I have described the spring as being secured to the wing C; but it is evident that it could be secured to the body A and answer the nec essary purposes, or springs similar to those described in my application previously filed could be usedand answer all the necessary purposes.
My invention, which is more especially adapted for travelers, is simple in construction, is durable and effective in use, can be packed within a small compass, and can be manufactured, and sold at a small initial cost.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a door-securer, the combination, with a body provided on its outer face with spurs and an abutment, of aplate or plates pivotally secured to said body, a hinged leaf secured to the body and provided with lugs which serve as an abutment for the door, and also serve to hold said plate or plates in position, and a spring-catch for locking said leaf to the body, substantially as set forth.
I11 testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
AMOS BOUOHER.
