DOOR-HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 627,991, dated July 4, 1899.
Application filed September 17, 1898. Serial No. 691,169. N model.)
To all whom, it *ntctg concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES AMBROSE EN- sIGN,of the city of New York,borough of Man hattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Door-Hangers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a device for hanging sliding doors and to so construct the device that the door to which said device is fitted may be raised and lowered, as occasion may demand, by turning screws conveniently located at the forward edge of the door. p
A further object of theinvention is to provide a means for expeditiously, conveniently, and economically hanging doors and a further object of the invention is to provide two supporting-trolleys for each door, both of the said trolleys being provided with members adapted to'be drawn together or separated for the purpose of raising or lowering the door through the medium of the aforesaid screws, the trolleys being adapted to travel on a particularly-shaped track.
The invention consists in the novel con struction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section taken practically on the line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken substantially on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 8is a front elevation of the upper portion of a door having the improvement applied and illustrating the adj usting-heads for the screws acting upon the door. I
A represents -a door which may be of any suitable material, and in the upper surface of the said door a channel or groove 10 is produced, extending nearly from end to end, as illustrated in Fig. 1. In the bottom portion of this groove or channel 10, preferably, two wear-plates 11 are secured. The said plates are located at each side of the vertical center of the door and each wear-plate is provided with two or more bearings 12. Near the outer end of the wear-plate '11, located near the upper outer vertical edge of the door, an extension 13 .is provided for the outermost bearing 12, and in this extension a bumper let is secured, which is preferablyv of an elastic material, being adapted for engagement with the opposing door when two doors have been brought together. Screws B and B are used in connection with the said door. The screw B passes from the front edge of the door loosely through openings in the bearings 12, terminating justin rear of the first set of bearings, as shown in Fig. 1, while the second screw B, which is parallel with the screw B, is passed likewise from the front upper edge of the door and loosely through the front set of bearings 12, and thence likewise loosely through thesecond set of bearings, each screw being provided with suitable collars adjacent to the bearings, which collars prevent the screws from having end movement. The longer screw B may be made in one piece or it may be made in two parts connected by a coupling 5, as illustrated in Fig. 1, and each screw at its outer end is provided with a head I), which may be an ordinary screwhead, to receive the screw-driver, or the said heads may be adapted to receive a wrench or a like tool, if so desired. Each screw is pro vided with a right-hand and a left-hand thread, thethreaded portion of the screw B being between the first set of bearings 12, while the threaded portion of the second screw B is-between the second set of bearings 12,
as is also shown in Fig. 1. The threaded portion of each screw is adapted to pass through two traveling blocks 15, one of the said blocks being interiorly threaded to receive the righthand portion of the screw and the other block the left hand portion of the same screw. These two blocks are provided for each threaded portion .of a screw, one set of blocks being near the front edge of the door and the other set of blocks near the rear edge of the door. The front set of blocks is provided with openings through which the second and longer screw B may be loosely passed.
A longitudinal opening 17 is made in the 7 The door is usually provided with two trolleys D, and a track 18, preferably T-shaped, is located above the upper edge of the door within the door-frame casing, and the track 18 is provided with hangers 19, attached to or forming an integral portion of the web 18 of the track, as shown in the drawings. Each trolley consists of two spaced housings 20 and 21, a base 22, and a pendent arm 23,
attached to the central portion of the base.
The pendent arm 23 of each trolley is engaged at opposite sides by links 24 and 25, the links at their lower ends being usually so brought together that the lower edge of one of the links may be placed in a position parallel with yetin advance of the other link, as illustrated in Fig. 2. The pendent arms 23 of the trolleys are pivoted between the upper ends of the links 24 and 25, and the lower ends of the links are pivoted in the slots made in the traveling blocks 15 through the medium of suitable pins 26. Each housing for the trolley-frame is provided with a peripherallygrooved pulley 27, and the said pulleys are mounted to travel on upwardlypxtending flanges formed upon the upper surfaces of the T portions of the rails or tracks, as shown in Fig. 2.
In operation, when it is desired to to raise the door hung with the improved device if said door is to be raised or lowered at the front only the screw B is manipulated through the medium of its head to cause the links 24 and 25, connected with the forward trolley, to be brought together or separated. If the adjustment is to be made at the back of the door, the screw B is manipulated to bring together or to separate the links of the rear trolley, but if the door is to be raised equally at the front and at the rear both screws B and B are correspondinglyadjusted.
The hanger is exceedingly simple, durable, and economic and is applicable to any form of sliding door,and when the improved hanger is applied the door to which the application is made may be quickly and accurately ad j usted vertically without disturbing or marring any of the woodwork or decorations adjacent to the door.
Having thus described my invention, I
drop or the said screws being adapted for independent operation from one edge of the door,blocks mounted to travel on the screws, link connections between one trolley and the blocks of one screw, and link connections between the other trolley and the blocks of the other screw, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination with a door, a track above the door and front and rear trolleys mounted to move on said track, of two sets of blocks movably secured to the upper portion of the door, means for adjusting said blocks, one set independently of the other set, link connections between the front trolley and one set of blocks and link connections between the rear trolley and the other set of blocks, substantially as shown and de scribed.
3. The combination, with a door provided with a channel in its upper. edge, bearings located in the said channel, screws held to turn looselyin said bearings, the said screws being held against end movement, each screw being provided with a right and a left hand thread, the right and left hand threaded surface of one screw being near the front of the door and the corresponding surface'of the other screw near the rear of the door, each screw being provided with a thread at the forward vertical edge of the door, whereby each screw may be operated independently, a track, trolleys held to travel upon the said track, blocks located upon the threaded surface of each of the screws, one block being held to travel on the righthand and the other block on the left-hand thread of each screw, and links pivotally connecting each pair of blocks with a trolley, as and for the purpose specified.
CHARLES AMBROSE ENSIGN.
