Filed No?. 26, 1958 United States Patent O SECTIONAL DOOR SILL Nuncio Caracciola and Nicholas De Chiara, Belleville, NJ.
Application November '26, 1958, Serial No. 776,505 2 Claims. (Cl. 20-64) This invention relates to sectional door sills or jambs for automobiles.
'I'he door sills of automobiles are often, in part at least, as due to a bead at the inner edge, above the level of the oor mat or covering, making it diflicult to remove sweepings from the car. The object of this invention is to provide a sill in which this defect is avoided, by making it with a section which is readily removed and replaced.
The drawings illustrate the invention, and in these:
Figure l is a broken plan view of the door sill;
Figure 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but shows the bead and associated parts in section, the removable section being locked n;
Figure 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but shows the removable section not locked in;
Figure 4 shows the sill, partly in section, with the removable part or section removed for cleaning purposes;
Figure 5 is a sectional view, taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 1;
Figure 6 is a plan view, partly in section, of the removable part alone; and
Figure 7 is a sectional view taken on line 7--7 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings for a more detailed description, these show the sill in three sections, numbered respectively 1, 2 and 3, and secured to a base 4 by screws. Section 2 is the removable section. Figure 5 shows the car flooring 6 and a mat or carpet 7 thereon. The sill slopes downwardly and outwardly from the ooring, and comprises a web 8, a lower and outer bead 9, and an inner hollow bead 10. Within the bead 10 of the sill, there is a supporting inner member 12, in the form of an inverted arched channel, having inturned anges at its bottom which rest on the mentioned base 4. The channel of section 1 is cut back from its inner end. Fixed within, and projecting from, the inner end portion of 2,892,222 Patented June 30, 1959 ICC channel 12 in section 3, there is a folded rib 15, arched along its top. The removable section 2, shown by itself in Fig. 6, has a knob or projection 17 extending from its channel 12 through slot 18 in bead 10, so that the channel, after placement of its right end portion down over the projecting portion of rib 15, may be moved to the left from its position shown in Fig. 3 to the position shown in Fig. 2. In the latter position, the channel 12 enters bead 10 of section 1. Section 2 is thereby held to section 1, and it is held to section 3 by the telescoping of the channel with rib 15, it being understood that the projecting part of rib 15 is long enough so that, when the channel is moved from right to left, as shown in Figs. 3 and 2 respectively, channel 12 remains telescoped with rib 15. While the described mechanism is suflicient to lock section 2 in place, screws through web 8 may be additionally used. It is evident that, by removing section 2, sweepings from the mat or carpet may be readily removed from the car.
What is claimed is:
l. A sill comprising spaced fixed sections and a removable intermediate section, the sections having aligned hollow beads at their inner edges, an inverted supporting channel in the bead of each section, a rib secured within the channel of one of the lixed sections and projecting beyond the latters inner end, the channel of the removable section slidably telescoping said rib at one end portion and the bead of an adjacent fixed section at its other end portion, and means for sliding the channel of the removable section.
2. A sill comprising spaced lixed sections and a rcmovable intermediate section, the sections having aligned hollow beads at their inner edges, an inverted supporting channel in the bead of each section, a rib secured within the channel of one of the fixed sections and projecting beyond the latters inner end, the channel of the removable section slidably telescoping said rib at one end portion and the bead of an adjacent lixed section at its other end portion, and means for sliding the channel of the removable section, the means for sliding the channel of the removable section comprising a knob extending transversely through the inner side of the bead of the removable section.
