BENJAMIN G. \VEDD, OF HENRIETTA, NEW YORK.
HANGER FOR SLIDING DOORS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 110.349.829, dated September 28,1886.
Application filed May 25, 1885. Serial No. 166,587.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN G. \VEDD, of Henrietta, (\Vest Brighton I. O.,) in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Hangers for Sliding Doors; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, ref erence being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the hanger attached to a door and running on a rail. Fig. 2 is an edge elevation of the same, the door and rail being shown in cross-section. Fig. 3 is a back view of the central portion of the hanger.
My improvement relates to hangers for sliding doors.
,The invention consists in the combination of two parts forming the hanger, hinged or jointed together, friction-rolls on the inner face of the upper part, and a metallic treadpiece attached to the rail, against which the friction-rolls run, as will be more fully set forth.
In the drawings, A shows the upper half and B the lower half of the hanger, said parts being provided with a hinge or joint, a, in the form of an ordinary knuckle,which allows the lower half to swing out or in to any de sired degree. The upper half, A, is provided with the usual wheel or roller, 0, that runs on the rail 1), while the lower half, B, is attached to the sliding door E in the usual way.
On the inner face of the upper half of the hanger and at opposite sides are made sockets, and in these are placed frictioirrolls I) b, standing vertically and running against the outer face of the rail D. In the face of the rail is sunken a strip of metal, 0, which extends longitudinally the whole length of the rail, and against which the friction'rolls rest and travel.
Byjointing the parts of the hanger, as above (No model.)
to the twist and strain of the door in swinging out and in. There is also less twist and strain on the upper half of the hanger, as it is not affected by the swinging of the lower half. Consequently the roller or wheel will run more true on the track, and the door will slide easier. The friction-rollers obviate friction to a great degree, while the metal tread-strip prevents the lower ends of the rollers from grinding into the wood,which they would otherwise do by the vibrations of the door inward.
In sliding the door it is carried more or less out of a vertical line, especially in case there is any obstruction, such as snow. This causes the friction-rolls b b to grind into the wood, soon forming a channel that is rough and irregular. To obviate this difficulty the metallic way 0 is applied, which forms a smooth surface the whole length.
Having described my invention, I disclaim the devices shown in Patents Nos. 266,829 and 286,774; but
\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A door-hanger consisting of the upper section, the supporting-wheel mounted thereon, the two friction-wheels secured to the upper section at opposite edges thereof below the supporting-wheel, and the lower section hinged to the upper one by a horizontal pivot, and adapted to be secured to the door, substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
B. G. \VEDD.
