LOCK-STRIKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 633,918, dated September 26,1899.
v Application filed March 17, 1899. Serial No. 709,497. (No model.)
T0 atZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES SPEIGHT SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook,- and State of Illinois, have invented an Adj ustable Striking-Plate for Door-Jambs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved adj ustable striking-plate for door locks and jambs, and has for its object to provide a simple and. convenient device of this kind that can be used either as a right or left plate.
Figure 1 is a elevation of a device embodying the improved features. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the adjustable plate removed. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the removed adjustable plate; and Fig. 4 is a transverse section on line 4, Fig. 3, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The device consists of the stationary strike- 7 plate A and the adjustable plate or slide B, framed therein the joining edges being smooth. The stationary plate A is provided in its respective ends with the screw-holes a, for the insertion of the usual screws in securing thesame to the jainb ordoor-frame. This plate is provided longitudinally with a slotopening a, stopping short of the respective ends. The strike-plate is also provided with the cross-bars C O, havinga boss or swell a on the rear side thereof, Fig. 4, forming a seat for the companion adj ustingscrews a o which are inserted through the elongated. apertures b b in the adjustable plate and the holes d ml in the cross-bars O .G. In this form of construction the adj usting-screws a a do not enter the wood of the j amb, but end in the boss a and may be termed a righthand plate only. I
When thedevice is to be reversible, so as to be used either as a right or left hand plate,
the cross-bars C O aredispensed with, thus adapting-the plate to be used on eitherside of the door, the adjustingscrews seating in the wood of the jamb,
The stationary plate is permanently secured in place, the adjustable plate being framed therein and movable endwise, either up or down,in bringing the same into position to receive the latch and bolt of the door-lock.
The movable plate'is locked in the position to which it is capable of being adjusted by means of the screws a a The stationary plate isprovided with the usual projection c which receives the impact of the latch; The openings h and h in the adjustable plate. receive the latch and locking-bolt, respectively. This ar ranger'nent dispenses with I the necessity of moving the strike-plate proper and leaving an unsightly cut-off recess either above or below the same. The movable plate is easily and quickly adjusted as the varying conditionsof vadjustable plate, framed therein and having elongated apertures near the respective ends thereof, and Ineansfor holding the movable plate in any position to which it may be adjusted, substantially as described.
A strike-plate comprising a stationary plate, a vertically-movable plate adjustably framed therein,the joining edges of said plates beingsmooth and the movable plate provided with elongated apertures, and the adjusting-:
screws inserted through said apertures, sub stantially as described.
3. A strike-plate, comprising a stationary plate, having a-slot-opening therein and provided with cross-bars at the rear side, of an endwise, vertically-movable plate, framed in said slot-opening, and the adjusting-screws inserted through openings in the-movable plate and ending in said cross-bars, substantially as described.
