DOOR AND wmoow cAsmeq SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 354,918, dated December 28, 1886.
Application filed December 29, 1885. Serial No. 187,028.
To all whom, it may concern: Y
Be it known that I, HERMAN LUCHT, residing at Englewood, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, and a citizen of the United States, have invented-a new and useful Improvement in Door and Window Casings, of which the followingis a full description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a partial vertical section on line side of a door-frame; Fig. 3, a cross-section showing a mop-board; Fig. 4, a section of the under side of a molding; Figs. 5 and 6, screws.
Heretofore in the attaching of moldings and other parts to a door ofwindow frame or other part of a room it has been the practice to attach them in position by means of nails or screws passing through from the outside, which involves the necessity of puttying or otherwise covering the holes, which tends to mar and to sometimes inj nre the moldings or parts attached, and also to render it difficult, if not impossible, to remove them without spoiling them.
The object of my invention is to overcome these difficulties, and to so construct moldings or other parts of frames or moldings to be attached to rooms in such a manner that they can be attached without injury or defacement, and so that they can be readily removed Without damage; and its nature consists in the method and combinations of parts hereinafter claimed as new.
In the drawings, a is a furriug-l'ioard attached to the stud in frame buildings or to the wall in brick buildings; 12, part of the easing; 0, the finishing-molding; d, opening on the under face of the finishingmolding; e, fastening-plate; f, opening in plate 6; g, doorjamb; h, stud; t, plastering or face of the wall; j, screws or bolts; 7c, inclined sides to the heads of the bolts j.
The moldings and frames are formed in the usual manner, and may be varied according to the various styles of frames and moldings in ordinary use. In the form shown at Figs.
1 and 2 the finishing-casing with the molding consists of two parts; but it may consist of three or more, or it may consist of one. (Shown in Fig. 3.) In applying the finishing parts to ,base boards.
(No model.)
the framing according to my method, the parts bare applied to the frame by means of the screws 9, the heads of which press against small washers and hold'the boards I) securely in place.
The projecting heads are beveled off on one or on both sides, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, leaving a space for the engagement of the plate 6 of the surface-molding, soas to form a secure lock. As shown, the heads of the bolts are beveled, while the sides of the opening f of the plate 6 are not beveled; but these sides or edges of the opening may have a corresponding bevel, and thus both the bolt-heads and the plate be beveled, or the plate may be beveled without especially beveling the bolt-heads. For light moldings common woodscrews may be used in place of the bolts j, and where. the mold ings are of sufficient thickness these woodscrews may be screwed into those with the heads left projecting a sufficient distance to pass into slots d, formed in the under or In that case the under or base boards will be nailed or screwed according to the old method; but for casings large screws or bolts are preferred, as by their use the under or base boards are secured by the same boltsby which the moldings are attached, thus doing away with the necessity for nailing" or for theuse of additional bolts or screws, and this method has another advantage from the fact that the sides of the casing may be entirely'removed, so as to expose the walls '5, as may also the base or mop boards a, which will be found useful and advantageous in pa pering, calcimining, or otherwise renovating the walls, as in such case the moldings or casings are not injured, and the fitting of paper is not required, as the moldings will lap over the paper or other renovating of the wall when they are replaced. r
The incline of the screw-heads or of the plates, or both, will cause the parts to adhere closely'to the wall, and by this means warped or sprung boards can readily be brought to a close fit and an exact finish, and by means of my improvements the casing and moldings may be finished and polished ready for immediate use at the factory, as there is no marring of them in putting them in place. A
slight endwise movement is all that is required to attach or detach them. In attaching the heads of the bolts or plates in the opening or hole d, a downward movement suificient to cause the plates 6 to engage is all that is required, while a corresponding upward movement will detach them.
The plates e are shown circular, as in this form they are more easily applied, as they will fit an auger-hole; but they may be made square or oblong, and they may also be provided with cross-arms to prevent warping, if
' .so desired, and when the boards are of any considerable width the bolts j need not be placed in line, as they will fit as well when a part are placed on one side and a part on another side, and so in attaching the mop-boards a part of them may be located near the bottom and a part near the top, so as to give them a firm hold and position and give an additional security against warping. This same method may be used in applying moldings or other decorations toceilings, drops, centerpieces, and other decorations which may be applied to buildings or rooms.
What'l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination of a molding or finishing strip and a casing or wall, one of said parts being provided with a projecting screwhead and the other with an opening to receive the head of the screw, and a projecting edge to pass under the screw-head, substantially as set forth, whereby said strip or molding is removably secured to its foundation.
2. The combination of a molding or finishing strip provided with a recess or recesses in its rear face, locking-plates secured in or over said recesses, and projecting screw -heads adapted to engage with said plates, whereby said strip or molding is removably secured to its foundation, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
HERMAN LUGHT.
