DOOR-CHECK.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 281,504, dated July 17, 18.83.-
Application filed May 14,1883. (No model.)
new and improved device of simple construc tion for holding doors, swinging screens, gates, 820., open" and in the desired position.
The invention consists in a wedge-shaped frame of metal plates or spring-wire, which frame is provided at the bottom of the incline with an upwardly-inclined spring-catch for holding the door open, and at the opposite end it is provided with downwardly-projecting prongs for keeping the holder in place.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is aperspective view of adoor held by means of our improved door-holder. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of our improved doorholder. Fig. 3 is aperspective view of a modification of the same. Fig. 44s a longitudinal elevation of our improved door-holder, showing the manner in which it holds the door.
A spring-frame, A, made of wire, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, or of a metal plate, as shown in Fig. 3, is provided at one end with pointed downwardly-proj ecting prongs a, from the upper ends of which the wire or plate is inclined downward at an angle of about twenty to twenty-five degrees, and at the lower end of the inclined part b the wire or plate is bent over and is inclined upward, and about parallel with the part b and at about the middle of the latter the end (I of the upwardly-inclined part c is bent downwardly slightly or beveled. The spring-frame A is placed inthe floor within the are described by the outer swinging edge of the door in such a manner that the lower end of the downwardly-inclined part 2) projects toward the closed door and the points ping of the same.
of the prongs a rest on the floor. If the door 13 is swung open, its lower edge meets the in clined part c of the frame A and slides along the same and depresses it, and when the lower edge of thedoor has passed over the upper end of the inclined part c the said upper end snaps upward and rests against the lower part of the door, as shown in Fig. 4. The inclined part b prevents the door from opening farther, and the part c prevents it from closing. The door can thus be held in any desired position by means of our improved door-holder. If the door is to be closed, the upper end of the part c is depressed by means of the foot, thus releasing the door. A forces the points of the prongs asufficiently to hold the frame A in place and prevent slip- The holder does not injure the door nor the floor, and can be adjusted and removed very easily and rapidly. The frame has a wedge shape, provided at its lower end I with a spring-catch for holding the door. The
holder can be used for holding swinging doors,
screens, gates, em, in place.
4 Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. 'A spring-frame for holding doors, pro- .vided with downwardly-projecting prongs a,
a downwardly-inclined part, b, and an upwardly-inclined part, 0, having its upper end, d, beveled or bent down, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. A door-check'inade of awire or metallicplate frame, provided at one end with prongs, fromthe upper ends of which apart is inclined downwardly, then bent over at its lower end and inclined upwardly, as shown and described.
