Applicants prior US. Pat. No. 3,676,966 discloses a door frame in which the weight of the door is borne by hidden support means and ultimately by the wall. The facings, i.e. the door jambs and casings, are attached to the support means by hidden attachment means, and the frame is vertically adjustable to door openings of varying heights. To the extent that the features of applicants prior door frame can be incorporated into frames according to the present invention, the disclosure of US. Pat. No. 3,676,966 is herein expressly incorporated by reference.
It frequently happens that when a wall is provided with a door opening, variations in thickness of the wall occur around the opening. Accordingly, door frame assemblies made to conform to a standard thickness wall will not fit as desired and consequently the aesthetic appearance not only of the door frame assembly but of the entire room is diminished. Also, it not infrequently happens that in large office buildings and commercial structures wherein there is frequent remodeling, to accommodate various floor plans, doors in an existing wall structure will be utilized in the remodeled structure. Obviously, if the thickness of the walls in the remodeled floor plan is different from that of the original floor plan, new door frame assemblies must be purchased.
U.S. Pat., No. 3,324,599 to Brost, shows a door frame assembly which is adjustable; however, the door frame is relatively complicated, being composed of many parts. Thus it is more difficult and expensive to manufacture, assemble and disassemble. Furthermore the arrangement shown in the Brost patent places the weight of the door directly on the visible facing or jamb.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a simple door frame assembly, adjustable to various wall thickness.
It is another object of the invention to provide an adjustable door frame assembly in which the weight of the door is borne by hidden support means.
Another object of the invention is to provide an adjustable door frame assembly having a minimum number of parts.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an adjustable door frame assembly requiring minimum time for assembly and disassembly.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an adjustable door frame assembly with hidden adjustment means.
Applicants present invention comprises an improvement in door frames such as those shown in his prior patent whereby the frame is adjustable to accommodate walls of varying thicknesses.
The door frame assembly herein is comprised of side frame sections, each of which includes a pair of overlapping or telescoping L-shaped jamb members. At least one of the side frame sections is superimposed over support means secured to the wall. Jamb legs of the jamb members extend into the door opening and overlap while casing legs extend away from the opening on opposite sides of the wall. The overlapping jamb members are movable relative to each other in a direction to vary the distance between the two casing legs and thus accommodate various wall thicknesses.
One of the side jamb legs of the frame section which encases the support means has a hinge aperture therein to expose a portion of the support means, whereby a hinge leaf can be attached directly to the support member and thus allow the weight of the door to be borne by the hidden support means, and ultimately by the wall itself, rathen than by the jamb members.
A header frame section mounted between the side frame sections at the top of the opening also comprises a pair of L-shaped jamb members having overlapping jamb legs and opposed casing legs. The header jamb members are adjustable in essentially the same manner as the side jamb members.
Means are provided for attaching the overlapping pairs of jamb legs together and for securing all parts of the frame assembly in the door opening.
The above and other features, objects and advantages of the invention will be made apparent by the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, by the drawings and the claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the hinge side and header of a door frame assembly according to the invention, with parts broken away.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the support means of the hinge side of the door frame assembly.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the support means of the strike side of the door frame assembly.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 4-4 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view similar to that of FIG. 4 but at a lower level and showing the invention adapted for use with a solid concrete wall.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings and particularly FIGS. l-4, the door frame assembly comprises a side frame section F and a header frame H. The assembly further includes side support means 2 for mounting on the hinge side of a door opening. The frame preferably also includes side support means 4 (FIG. 3) for mounting on the strike side of the door opening, although, as will be apparent, where a free swinging door is to be used, side support means 4 may be omitted.
In a dry wall construction, such as is shown in detail in FIG. 4, support means 2 and 4 are secured to channel- shaped studs 6, 8 respectively. Studs 6 and 8 comprise webs 10 and 12 and wings l4, l6, l8 and 20 extending perpendicularly from the edges of the webs l0 and 12. Support means 2 and 4 are secured to the webs l0 and 12 as by screws 22. Studs 6 and 8 are disposed between the parallel spaced-apart sections 24 and 24a of the wall adjacent the sides of the door opening. Wings 14, 16, 18 and 20 are then secured to wall sections 24 and 24a by screws 25 so that studs 6 and 8 become part of the wall.
Superimposed over side support means .2 is a first side frame sectionF, it being understood that a similar side frame section (not shown) is superimposed over side support means 4 is the latter'is employed.
As shown, the support means 2 and 4 comprise elongated wooden planks extending generally from the level of the header frame section H along the entire length of the side frame section F. However it will be readily appreciated that support means 2 and 4 could be formed of any strong rigid material, such as steel, and that they could take other forms, such as small, appropriately placed plates (see applicants prior US. Pat. No. 3,676,966). Preferably, side support means 2 and 4 are slightly wider than the thickness of the wall and have inner surfaces 30 and 32 facing the door opening, outer surfaces 34, 36 facing away from the door opening and opposite side surfaces 38, 40 and 42,
Side frame section F comprises first and second L- shaped side jamb members 46 and 48. The term L- shaped as used herein, refers to a configuration .which, in cross section, generally includes two angularly depending legs which may be perpendicular, slightly acute or slightly obtuse. The first side jamb member 46 has a side jamb leg 50 extending into the door opening along and in contact with inner surface 30 of support means 2. First side jamb member 46 further has a side casing leg 52 extending away from the door opening along one side of wall section 24a. Second side jamb member 48 also has a side jamb leg 54 extending into the door opening and partially overlapping side jamb leg 50, leg 54 lying along inner surface 30 but spaced from surface 30'by projections 58 integral with side jamb leg 54 and extending toward surface 30. Projections 58 are of substantially the same thickness as side jamb leg 50. Second side jamb m'embcr 48 also has a side casing leg 56, opposite casing leg 52, and extending away from the door opening along the surface of section 24.
A door-stop 60 is formed along the edge of side jamb leg 54 of second side jamb member 48. Door-stop 60 has a channel 62 facing the door and a second channel 66 facing the door opening. A flexible insert or sealing member 64 is disposed in channel 62. A bolt 68 in the bottom of channel 66 attaches the overlapped portions of the side jamb legs 54 and 50 together by securing them to support means 2. Several such bolts are preferably included along the length of channel 66. Bolts 68 are hidden from view by a flexible insert 70 which may be snapped into channel 66 and locked into place by projections 71 which fit into grooves 73 in.the sides of channel 66. The location of door stop 60 at the edge of side jamb leg 54 enhances the appearance of the frame by hiding the interface between the two ,side jamb members 46 and 48. Thus, although the side frame section is formed in two parts so as to be adjustable to various wall thicknesses, it retains the unbroken lines and pleasing appearance of a one-piece assembly.
. To enable the weight of the door to be placed directly on the support means, rather than the side jamb members, the side jamb leg 54 of second side jamb member 48 has a mortised hinge aperture 74 exposing a portion 76 of inner surface 30 of support means 2. Thus one leaf of a hinge 78 is secured directly to support means 2 and the other leaf attached to the door so that the weight of the door is placed on support means 2 and ultimately borne by the wall. For this reason the side jamb members can be made of lightweight material such as aluminum or plastic.
The second side frame section (not shown), for attachment to support means 4, would be constructed in the same fashion as side frame section 26 with the exclusion of hinge aperture 74. If a strike plate is to be used, the second side frame section would have an aperture in one of its side jamb legs to expose at least a portion of support means 4, the latter having cutout portion 86 in one of its sides adjacent plate 84 to accommodate a strike box assembly (FIG. 3).
niaaeaai'erraae section H is substantially malarial?- to side frame section F but may be used with or without a header support means such as 95 (FIG. 1). Header.
of the wall opposite header easing leg 92.
The header j amb m eiribers are relatively 5663176 iii a direction to vary the distance between header casing legs 92 and 98. After adjustment to the wall thickness, header jamb members 88 and 94 are secured together by bolts which pass through their overlapped portions and which may be hidden in a door-stop 100 similar to stop 60 and which is preferably at the edge of headerjamb leg 96.
FIG. 5 shows the invention as used with a solid wall such as concrete or the like which does not include studs such as 6 but which does have a plane edge surface 108 along the side of the door opening. In this type of application the support means 2 is shot directly to the surface 108 by nails 110 before the side jamb members are superimposed over the support means.
