Miran TATES JOHN R. BOWLER, sa, or SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR TO DANIEL n. THOMAS, or SAME PLACE.
oooa-sroe- SPECIFICATION fort hing part of Letters Patent N0. 654,562, dated July 24, 1900..
Application filed May 28, 1900. Serial No. 18,316. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN R. BOWLER, Sr., of Santa Ana, county of Orange, and State of California, having invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Stops, of
which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of de vices which serve to hold open, or partially open, doors and the like, to thereby permit IO either free ventilation between apartments or freeingress and egress therefrom; and the object of my invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive device which will always be in position for use and which may be placed :5 in position to hold the door as desired by a simple downward thrust upon the top thereof by the foot.
With this object in view my invention con- I sists of a wedge-shaped piece adapted to lit between the door and the floor, which wedgeshaped piece at its larger end is secured to the door by means of an elastic connection, whereby pressure upon the top of the Wedge will cause the elastic connection to yield and the Wedge to slide beneath the door, and
thereby hold it in place, all as will hereinafter more fully appear, and be definitely set forth in the claims.
Figure 1 shows in perspective a door par- 0 tially open having my improvement attached thereto and in position for holding the door as indicated. Fig. 2 is a detail edge view of the door, showing the stop or holding device secured thereto. Fig. 3 is a detail edge view of the door having the described stop orholdingdevice,of aslightly-modified form,secu red thereto; and Fig. 4 is aperspective view of the stop detached from the door.
Referring to the drawings,-A indicates the 40 door,having secured thereto the Wedge-shaped stop or holding device a by'means of an elasticconnection a. The said elastic connection is here preferably shown as a piece of rubber, but it is quite obvious that it might be a metal or other desired form of spring or elastic device. The elastic connection a is secured to the door at some distance above its lower edge by suitable tacks, screws, or similar fastening means a and the opposite end of the elastic connection is secured to the large end of the wedge by suitable tacks, screws, or fastening means ta The wedge a, as clearly indicated in the drawings, is preferably formed with one straight edge a and an. inclined edge or surface of, so as to present when in position for use a fiat surface to the door and an inclined surface up which the door may slide.
It will be noticed that I connect the wedge and elastic (1 preferably so that the inclined surface a will be next to and normally and jacent the said door, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, and I also secure the elastic connection to the base of the wedge, preferably near the inclined surface a so that a push upon the base of the wedge by the foot will as the pointed edge of the wedge meets the floor permit the Wedge to readily turn upon its pointed end and slide beneath the lower edge of the door. 0
. In Fig. 3 I have shown a slightly-modified form of wedge in that the-base portion is beveled off from a point in the height of the base to an inclined surface of, and to this beveled portion of the base a I secure the elastic connection a. This construction is sometimes preferable for the reason that the base of the wedge is held normally in such position away from the side of the door as that a push thereupon'will more readily turn said wedge upon its pointed end 0: and a continued push will, as in the preferred con struction, force the Wedge beneath the lower edge of the door to hold the same in desired position. i
In order to prevent the wedge from moving and flying about as the door is opened or closed, I provide a staple a which is driven into the door a short distance above the wedge or stop when the same is in its position as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, and be neath said staple I pass the elastic connection a.
From the above construction and connection of parts it will be evident that-I provide 5 a very simple and inexpensive door-stop which is always in position ready for use and which can be placed below the lower edge of the door to hold the same in position as de sired by merely pressing upon the top of the stop. Pressure upon the top of the stop first extends the elastic 0., and as the small end a of the stop reaches the floo'r continued pressure by ihe foot turns the larger endof the. stop away from the door and slides the small end thereof beneath the lower edge of the'dbo'r, thereby holding the door in place,
as shown, for instance, in Fig. 1.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat e'nt, is-
1. A door-stop comprising a Wedge and an elastic connection secured to the base thereof whereby it is adapted to be secured to the l side of a door.
3. A door having a stop securedthereto,
said stop comprising a wedge, an elastic connection between the base of the wedge and the door, and a staple beneath which said elastic connection is passed.
