A WIT/VES'SES: I dgg Arron/vn UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.,
BENJAMIN F. BOUGHN, OF RANDOLPH, NEBRASKA.
DOOR- CHEC K.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,621, dated August28, 1888.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. BOUGHN, of Randolph, in the county of Cedar and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Door Stops and Checks, of which the following 4is a specilication.
The object of my invention is to provide a stop for hinged doors, to prevent them from mutilating the plastering or wallpaper, and which device shall also perform the functions of a check to hold the door open and prevent it from slamming to again.
It consists of a frame adapted to be fastened to the iioor and provided with a slide ou top of the same, which is sp-ring-seated and made to form the direct abutment for the lower edgel of the door, in combination with alever or pivoted catch, which is also provided with a spring, and is made to risein front of the door, to hold it back whenever the slide is. moved back by the pressure or impact of the door thereagainst, the said sliding abutment being arranged to bear against the upper end of the lever-catch to hold it down until the door reaches the abutment, as hereinafter fully described.
Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of the device, showing its position with reference to the baseboard and the position of the door 3o just before striking the stop, and also showing in dotted lines the position of the parts when the door is held by the check. Fig. 2 is a plan view, partly broken away.
A represents a metal frame or box, which isV provided with perforated ears a for the passage of screws which hold it down to the iioor.
Bis the sliding abutment which slides ou top of the box-frame A, and` has downwardly` projecting sides which overlap the box frame, and a downwardlyprojecting lug, b. `Between this lug b and the end of the box-frame is disposed a spiral spring, C, which tends to force the sliding abutment forward and give it a spring-seated or yielding action in response to the impact of the door.
At the forward or front end of the device is pivoted at c a short upright lever or catch, D, against whose lower -end there presses a dat Application filed May 8. 1888. Serial No. 273.258. (No model.)
spring, d, ,which tends to raise the upper end of said lever above the edges of the box-frame. This tendency is resisted,however, by a tongue, e, on the slide B, which bears against the catch at a point above its fulcrum or pivot, and which, by the superior force of the spiral spring G,holds the catch down below the level of the box-frarne. When, however, the door is opened and strikes against the sliding abutment B, it forces the latter back against the spiral spring C, and in compressing the latter vallows the catch D to rise in front of the door,
as shown by dotted lines, from the action of its spring d. This catch in this position holds the door open with sufficient power to prevent it from slamming, and yet permits it with a slight pull to be easily disconnected and closed.
To prevent the sliding abutment B from becoming disconnected from the box or frame below, the latter is formed with slats ffon its sides,and a pin,g, fixed in the sliding abutment, plays within said slats.
This device is, as will be seen, completely housed or closed in, and therefore is not liable i to become obstructed by dirt and sweepings.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new is- 1. A door stop and check, consisting of the combination of a base-frame adapted to be 'attached to the floor, a pivoted spring-actuated lever-catch, D, arranged at the outer end of the frame, and a sliding abutment, B, arranged upon the top of the frame and bearing against 4the upper end of the lever-catch, and having a spring for forcing it forward of'greater power than the spring of the catch, as and for the purpose described.
2. A door stop and check, consisting of the combination of the base frame A, slide B, with lug b and tongue e, spring C, arranged to bear against the lug, the lever-catch D and spring d, and a sliding connection for holding the slide B to the frame A, as and for the purpose described.
