EUGENE E. GILLETT, OF WESTERN UNION, WISCONSIN.
WEATHER-STRIP.
' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,537, dated March 25, 1884,
Application filed August 2'7, 1883.
Western Union, in the county of Racine, and
clear up to the bottom of groove.
in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Doorlhreshold Guards; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof. l i
My invention relates to threshold-guards, and will be fully described hereinafter.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of lower part of door,with movable threshold-guard. Fig. 2 is a cross'section of same on line 00 m of Fig. -1; and Figs. 3 and4t are also vertical sections of part of door,showin g modifications.
A is the door, which has a deep groove, A, formed along the underside of its bottom rail, for the movable threshold-guard B, which is hung in the same by two links, D and E, swinging on their respective pins, a and d and a and e, in notches b and 1), formed in upper edge of said threshold-guard B. Corresponding notches are also formed in bottom of groove of bottom rail of door, to allow of said links D and E raising the threshold-guard Elbow-link D, on the hanging side of door, has its upper end extended and bent outward to press against free end of flat spring F,.which has its head fixed by screws in edge ofdoor, said door being also provided withlan irregular groove to allow said spring F to take its natural bend, (shown in dotted lines,) whereby the t-hresln oldguard is raised from the floor.
Gis a flat piece of metal fastened to the door-jamb O, and against which the movable threshold-guard is made to slide in its up-anddown motion.
B" is a cushion of india-rubber, or of any other compressible material, designed to hermetically close the door under, its movable threshold-guard. In Fig. 3 is shown the arrangement of a weight, F, to raise the threshold-guard, while in Fig. 4 a spiral spring, F, 1s substituted for the same purpose. As is obvious, the moment a door provide wlth my automatic or movable thresholdguard commencesto open, the spiral or fiat (No model.)
spring or weight F, as the case may be, forces the threshold-guard B to swing back on its linksD and E against the door-jamb,sliding up as the door continues to open, along the fiat piece G onsaid door-j amb, thesaid guard gradually sliding down on said fiat piece Gr when the door is closing, until its cushion B is pressed against the floor at the moment the door is fully closed.
A great advantage which ensues from the use of my movable threshold-guard is that there is no necessity for using an elevated threshold-strip of wood to keep out air and dust, which was always objectionable, notably in doors between communicating rooms, where a continuous piece of carpeting went over the said strip, as the extra height of the carpet above the strip interfered with the closing of the door and was subject to undue wear at that point. Again, by reason of such strip, sweeping out a room into a hall or outdoors was rcndered more difiicult, and yet, if there was no provision to exclude air or dust there would be a space below the door, making the rooms cold and dirty. All thisis obviated by my improved device, and such opening is always automatically and hermetically closed whenever the door is shut.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is H In combination with a door providedwitha longitudinal eentralslot or groove, A, formed in the under side of its lower edge, and a plainsurl'ace door-jamb, the guard 13, suspended by suitable links within the groove A, and with its end directly engaging the said plain jamb, and the elbow-lever D, wholly incloscd and adapted to operate in the groove of the door, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, on this 16th day of May, 1883, in the presence of two witnesses.
