  • An object of the present invention is toovercome the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the invention is a door closure for closing an opening formed by a frame part and a door part swingingly connected to the frame part, this closure comprising: a cam fixed to one of the parts and having a camming edge; a follower fixed to the other part and including a follower roller and resilient means biasing the roller against the camming edge for constant application thereagainst.
  • the aforementioned camming edge is' formed, in succession, of a straight portion that extends at right angle to the said one part, a curved portion that extends in a direction away from the follower and a stop notch adapted-to receive the follower roller to hold the door part in open position.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the door closure when the door is slightly open;
  • FIG. 2 is a front view of the door spring mounted at the top of the door.
  • the door closure shown in-the drawing comprises a cam provided with a curved surface 11.
  • the cam 10 is fixed by means of a metallic strip 12 in a corner located at the top of the frame 13 of the door.
  • This strip 12 is provided with elongated slot '14 through which screws are inserted to fasten the strip to the frame 13 of the door.
  • the cam 10 may take a desired orientation relative to the frame 13 of the door and then rigidly fixed by means of the screws 15 on the said frame.
  • the leaf 16 which is swingingly mounted in the frame of the door by some known means, is provided with a strip 17 in which is fixed a support 18 provided with means which cooperate with the cam 10.
  • the support 18 is provided with slots 19 through which the screws 20 pass to rigidly secure the strip 17.
  • the elongation of the slots 19 enables the support 18 to take a variety of orientations over the strips 17 carried by the leaf l6.
  • the support 18 carries follower assembly formed of a casing 21 in which is located a roller holder 22 and a roller 23 extending outside the casing 21.
  • the roller holder 22 is under the action of a force exerted by a spring 24 located inside the casing 21.
  • the end of the casing 21 opposite the roller 23 is provided with a threaded hole through which is mounted a setting screw 25.
  • the screw 25 is adapted to exert a pressure on a small plate 26 which is in contact with the spring 24. When the setting screw 25 is rotated, the force exerted by the spring may be controlled.
  • the roller 23 is located in such a way as to come in contact with the curved surface 11 of the cam 10.
  • the pressure at which the roller 23 is applied against the curved surface 11 of the cam 10 may be varied and adjusted by means of the setting screw 25.
  • the curved surface 11 is provided at the end of the path of the roller 23, with a notch 27 in which the roller 23 can be lodged. In this position, the leaf remains open and the door does not close by itself by means of the door closure.
  • the roller 23 moves from a straight surface a of the camming surface 11 to a surface b curving in the direction of opening of the door.
  • the roller is pushed inwardly of the housing 21 by the cam 10 and against the pressure exerted by the spring 24.
  • the spring applies a pressure against the roller holder 22 and this pressure is transmitted by means of the roller 23 on the camming surface 11 of the cam 10.
  • the closing of the leaf 16 takes place in such a way that as long as the roller 23 rides on the curved surface b, the door closes relatively slowly. But as soon as it comes in contact with the straight surface a, extending substantially at right angle to the door frame 13, the door closes rather abruptly ensuring complete closure thereof. Once the door is closed, it will not open by itself.
  • the pressure which is necessary to open the door may be controlled by means of the setting screw 25.
  • the position of the cam 10 which is also adjustable, also influences the pressure with which the leaf 16 is applied against the frame 13.
  • the various parts of the door closure may be fixed to the frame 13 of the door and to the leaf 16 in such a way that they may be moved and adjusted as well as solidly fixed in a desired position.
  • Every part of the door closure which constitute the above-described embodiment are simple to manufacture. This lowers its cost as compared to the known devices.
  • a cam fixed to one of said parts and having a camming edge
  • a follower fixed to the other part and including a follower roller and resilient means biassing said roller against said camming edge for constant application thereagainst
  • said camming edge is formed, in succession, of a straight portion extending at right angle to said one of such part, a curved portion extending in a direction away from said follower and a stop notch adapted to receive said follower roller to hold said door part in open position,
  • said biassed roller first rides on said curved portion to force said door to close relatively slowly and then rides on said straight portion to allow said door part to move abruptly towards said frame part to ensure complete closure.
