QUICK ADJUSTING CUSHIONED STRIKE PLATE Filed Jan. 27. 1964 F/EJ v I n n INVENTOR.
United States Patent M 3,245,709 QUICK ADJUSTING CUSHIONED STRIKE PLATE Raymond A. Rosenberger, 53 W. Colorado St., St. Paul, Minn. Filed Jan. 27, 1964, Ser. No. 340,198 Claims. (Ci. 292--341.13)
This invention relates to strike plates which are used on door jambs and the like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a strike plate which will be easily adjusted and quickly without removing it from the door jamb.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a strike plate which will have one moving member which will be spring loaded to provide cushioning for the device.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a strike plate having a larger opening which will compensate for allowance, when weather stripping is added to the door jamb, thus eliminating the removal of the strike plate and the necessity of trying to get a perfect adjustment thereafter.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a strike plate having the above objects in mind which is of simple construction, has a minimum number of parts, is inexpensive to manufacture and efficient in operation and use.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a strike plate comprising the present invention;
FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the T-shaped sliding member shown removed from FIGURE 1; and
FIGURE 3 is a side view of FIGURE 1 shown in elevation.
Referring now more in detail to the drawing, a strike plate made in accordance with the present invention is shown to include a rectangular base 12 having a lip 14 bent arcuately upward. An L-shaped member 16 extends upwardly from one side of opening 18 through base 12, and a rectangular opening 20 through L-shaped member 16 slidably receives a T-shaped member 24. A threaded member 26 through T-shaped member 24 threadingly receives a threaded screw 28, and the other end of screw 28 is freely and slidably received within an opening 30 of an upwardly extending lip 32. Screw 28 provides a means for adjusting strike plate 10. Lip 32 is bent from within opening 34 of arcuate lip 32. A coil spring 36 is freely received over screw 28 and springingly urges against T- shaped member 24 at one end and springingly urges against lip 32 at its other end. A pair of spaced apart, countersunk openings 38 through base 12 of plate 11 provide means for receiving suitable fasteners to mount strike plate 10 to a door jamb.
In use, to properly mount and adjust strike plate It) on a door jamb, a screwdriver is inserted into the head of screw 28 and is rotated clockwise or anti-clockwise according to the tension desired.
It shall be noted that a coil spring 36 received upon screw 28 provides cushion means for T-shaped member 24 which is slidably received within opening 20 of L- shaped member 16.
It shall further be recognized that in order to assemble strike plate 10, T-shaped member 24 is inserted within opening 20 and the spring 36 is aligned with opening 30 of lip 32 between T-shaped member 24 and its threaded opening 26, after which screw 28 is inserted into opening 30 of lip 32 and is received within spring 36 and is rotated 3,245,709 Patented Apr. 12, 1966 so that it threadingly engages threaded opening 26 of T-shaped member 24.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
What I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A quick adjusting and cushioned strike plate com prising, in combination, a rectangular base of stamped metal, an L-shaped member and an angular lip integrally formed upon said base, a T-shaped sliding member, a screw threadedly engaging said sliding member, a coil spring, said L-shaped member providing a guide means for said T-shaped sliding member, said angular lip providing a support means for said threaded screw and said coil spring providing an adjustment and tension means between said T-shaped sliding member and said angular lip, one end of said base being arcuately bent to form an arcuate lip, said angular lip being bent from a semicircular cut in said arcuate lip, said angular lip being at right angles to said base and freely receiving said screw and said L- shaped member being bent from a rectangular tab out within said base, said L-shaped member having one side which is perpendicular to said base and a terminal side adjacent the outer edge of said perpendicular side, said terminal side being parallel to said base, said L-shaped member partially enclosing said T-shaped member, a part of said T-shaped member being positionable beyond the L-shaped member adjacent the opening formed in said base by said L-shaped member.
2. The combination according to claim 1 wherein the central extension of said T-shaped member is freely and slidably received within a rectangular opening through said L-shaped member of said strike plate and a threaded opening through said T-shaped member threadingly receives said screw which provides adjustment means for said strike plate without removing said strike plate from the door jamb.
3. The combination according to claim 2 wherein said T-shaped member is slidable on said base of said strike plate and said coil spring received around said screw springingly urges against said T-shaped member at one end and springingly urges against said lip at its other end to provide cushioning means for said T-shaped member.
4. The combination according to claim 3 wherein adjustment means for said strike plate comprises rotating said threaded screw which will bring said T-shaped member closer to said semicircular lip or further away from said semicircular lip.
5. The combination according to claim 4 wherein the flanged ends of said T-shaped member are parallel with the edge of said perpendicular side and the edges of said flange ends are in continuous alignment with the edges of said L-shaped member.
