STOP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 465,707, dated December 22, 1891.
Application filed August 7, 1891.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CORNELIUS T. WILLIAM- SON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in WireDoor-Stops, &c.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the inven tion, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention has reference to an improved door-stop adapted to be secured to the surbase, and against which the door comes in contact when opened too far, to prevent the breaking of the Walls by the door-knob; and the object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap, and durable door-stop designed to be attached to the surbase, and the invention is illustrated in the accompanying sheets of drawings.
The invention consists of a door-stop made from wire formed into two strands and twisted about each other to form spiral shoulders and adapted to be secured to a surbase and provided on its opposite end with a stop button or head; and the invention further consists of a door-stop made in this manner and provided with a twist between said spiral shoulders to considerably stiffen the device.
The invention will be more fully understood from the description given below, reference being had to the accompanying sheets of drawings, in which similar letters of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in each of the several views.
In said views, Figure 1 is aperspective view of my improved door-stop, which consists of two pieces of wire twisted about each other and formed at their opposite ends into a spiral, and a pointed and screw-threaded end projecting from the central portion of said spirals, by means of which the door-stop can be screwed into the surbase, and a stop button or head of rubber or other suitable mate-' rial can be secured to the opposite end of the door-stop. Fig. 2 is a front view of my improved door-stop, and Fig. 3 is a similar view Serial No. 401,983. (No model.)
with the stopbutton detached. Fig. 4 is a top view of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is ahorizontal section taken on line in Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a bottom view of Fig. 2, and Fig. 7 is a View clearly illustrating the manner of forming the twist and showing the oppositely-projecting ends of the wires about to be formed into the spirals. Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 3, in which the end of the stop adapted-to be forced into the surbase has been pointed and has not been provided with screw-threads as the stops in the previously described figures. Fig. 0 is a detail view of the two wires employed in making the stops in the previous figures, each wire being pointed at one end and being left plain at the other end. Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. .1 of two wires, one of which is pointed at both ends while the other is left plain. Fig. 11 is a view similar to Fig. 7, illustrating the'manner of twisting together the wires shown in Fig. 10, whereby the spirals are formed on the opposite ends of one wire and the points are on the ends of the other wire. Figs. 12, 13, and 14. are views similar to Figs. 2, 3, and 8 of modified forms of construction for securing the stop-button to the one end of the door-stop. Figs. 15 and 16 are still other modified forms of arranging two wires, and Fig. 17 is a view of a door stop in which both the lower ends of the two wires have been pointed for securingthe doorstop to the surbase. Fig. 18 is a view of a door-stop made from a continuous piece of wire bent in the middle to form an eye around which the rubber stop-button can be molded, the free ends of the wire being twisted about each other and one end being point-ed, while the other is formed into a spiral, as in Figs. 1, 2, et seq. Fig. 19 is a View similar to Fig. 2, provided with a ball end, which may be made of rubber or metal, and acts as a stop-button. v I
The improvement disclosed in the abovedescribed views is made from wire, preferably of two pieces, as illustrated in all the figures of the drawings, except Fig. 18, of any desirable cross-section.
As indicated in Figs. 1 to 9, inclusive, of the drawings, my improved door-stop is preferably made of two pieces of wire sand 19, respectively, each of which is provided on one end with a point a and Z), respectively, and their ends a and b beingleft plain or slightly thinned down.
In forming my improved wire door-stop the two wires to and b are placed side by side, so that their pointed ends a and b respectively project in opposite directions, and the two wires are twisted together to form the twist c, leaving the ends a and b of the wires projecting therefrom, as illustrated in Fig. 7. Said ends a and b are then wound spirally around the projecting and pointed ends a and 1), whereby the spiral shoulders at and b are the result. The pointed ends a and b, projecting, respectively, from the middle of each of said spiral shoulders, can then beleft plain, as shown in the bottom of Fig. 8, or the point a may be provided with screw-threads a upon which is screwed a stop-button d, made, preferably, of soft rubber, while the other end I) of the door-stop may be provided with screw-threads 6 by means of which said stop can be screwed into the surbase.
In lieu-of the construction just described and made from the wires shown in Fig. 9, said wire a can be provided on its opposite ends with the points a and a respeetively,while the ends I) and b of the wire I) are left plain or slightly ehamfered, as in Fig. 10. These two Wires are twisted around each other, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 11, and the spiral shoulders are formed by the projecting ends I) and 19 of the same wire around the pointed ends a and a respectively, of the wire a.
'In Fig. 12 I have shown the one end of the wire a formed into an arrow-head a instead of the screw-threaded point shown in the other figures, upon which the flexible stop-button d can be forced and firmly held in position thereon, as Will be clearly understood from said figure.
In Fig. 13 the end a of the wire a is provided wit-h still another modified form of screw-thread a for attaching the stop-button thereto, and thereby securing additional strength and durability.
Instead of providingthe wire a witha pointed end a, said end can be left plain, as at a in Fig. 14, and the stop-button d can be directly molded around said end and thereby secured in position thereon. Instead of twisting the wires around each other and thereby forming the twist c, said wires may be arranged side by side, as in Fig. 15, being provided with the spirally formed or twisted shoulders at and b, respectively, as will be clearly evident from said figure, or said wires a and b may be partially twisted about each other to form a twist c, as will be seen from Fig. 16.
In lieu of the construction shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, et seq., in which the lower end of the door-stop is formed with a spiral shoulder and a centrally-projecting point for securing the stop to the s'urbase or other article, I may dispense with the use of said spiral shoulder, 6 5' in which instance I form the free ends of the wires a. and b, respectively, into the points a and b, which are arranged substantially as shown in Fig. 17.
In Fig. 18 I have shown still another modified form of door-stop, which can be made from a continuous piece of wire bent in the middle to form an eye or loop a around which the stop-button cl can be molded. The upper spiral shoulder 19 in this construction is preferably made from a separate piece of wire, in order to provide a door-stop of a neater appearance; but said spiral shoulder can be formed directly from the same piece of wire, if desirable, forming an integral part thereof.
In Fig. 19 I have devised a means for securing a metallic stop-button d upon the projecting and threaded end a of the wire a.
It will be seen that by the construction shown and described in the above an efficient and inexpensive article is produced, which can be formed of wire of uniform thickness and of any cross-section, thereby making a very neat and ornamental door stop or check,
Of course it will be evident that the size and shape of the stop-button can be "aried, and the device can also be used as a drawerpull.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is-- 1. A door-stop or the like comprising therein two strands of wire formed at or near their ends into spirally-twisted shoulders and the end of one strand projecting from one of said shoulders and provided with means for se curing the stop to the surbase, and a stopbutton on the opposite end of the other strand, for the purposes set forth.
2. A door-stop or the like comprising therein two strands of wire formed into a twisted shank c, and also spirally-twisted shoulders at each end of said twist, a stop-button on one of the ends of said strands projecting from the one spiral shoulder, and means on the end of the other strand projecting from the other spiral shoulder for' securing the door-stop to the surbase, for the purposes set forth.
3. A door-stop or the like made from two pieces of wire bent to form a twist c, and also spirally-twisted shoulders at each end of said twist and provided with pointed ends projecting from said shoulders, and a stop-button on one of said pointed ends, for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the invention set forth above I have hereunto set my hand this 30th day of July, 1891.
