ANDREW FRYSLIE, OF DOWS, IOWA.
COMBINED WEATHER-STRIP AND THRESHOLD.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 672,759, dated April 23, 1901. Application filed September 16, 1897. Renewed March 21, 1901. Serial No. 52,269. (No model.)
1'0 aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ANDREW FRYSLIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dows, in the county of Wright and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Weather Strip and Threshold; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to thresholds of that character or description which are made in two parts, one of which is fixed to the doorsill and the other hinged or pivotally connected therewith and provided with means whereby this hinged section is slightly elevated when the door is closed, so as to prevent rain or snow from getting beneath the latter.
The novelty in the present instance resides in the peculiar construction and the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a door-frame and door provided with myimprovement, the door being shown closed. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section of the same, the door being closed. Fig. 3 is a similar view, the door being opened. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view showing one end of the stationary section. Fig. 5 is a similar view of the other end.
In the said drawings the reference-numeral l'designates a door-frame; 2, the side rails thereof; 3, thetop rail, and at the sill.
The numeral 5 designates the fixed section of the threshold, formed at the inner side With beveled upwardly-extending flanges 6 and 7, formed at each end with a lug 8, one of which lugs is formed with a slot 9 and the other with a hole 10. These lugs at the outer end are formed with stops 19.
The numeral 11 designates the movable section, curved as seen and provided at each end with a stud 13, one of which engages with the slot 9 and the other with the hole 10, whereby the said section 11 is pivotally connected with the fixed section. One end of the pivoted section is formed with a flange 14, which projects over onto the said fixed section and is adapted to be struck by the end of the door when the latter is closed, and the said section be thereby elevated or turned upward on its pivots. Said lugs are also formed with beveled recesses 15, which serve to conduct any water striking the side edges of the door down between the pivoted and stationary sections of the threshold. The said threshold-sections are preferably made of cast metal, although this in not essential, as any other material found convenient .may be employed.
In practice the section 5 is secured to the door-sill in anysuitable manner and the piv- Qted section connected therewith by engaging the studs thereof with the slot and hole in the section 5. When the door is closed, it will strike the flange 14, elevating the section and the door projecting over and beyond the fixed section, so that any water which may escape or pass between the upper edge of said pivoted section and the door will not drop or fall upon the fixed section, but will be conducted down between the two sections and will escape under the edge of the pivoted section, the beveled flange of the fixed section preventing the Water from getting under this section.
From the above it will be seen that the pivoted threshold-section serves as a Weatherstrip, whereby rain and snow are effectually prevented from entering under the door.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is 1. A combined threshold and weather-strip, comprising in combination a fixed section formed at each end with a lug ext-ending at right angles therefrom, each lug with a beveled recess extending at right angles to and in proximity to a beveled flange on the inner side of the said section, and a movable section pivotally mounted in said lugs of the fixed section and provided at one end with a flange projecting over the fixed section to be engaged and elevated by the end of the door as the latter is closed, substantially as specified.
2w Acombined threshold and weather-strip comprising in combination a fixed section formed upon its inner face with a beveled flange 7, and near each end with a flange extending atright angles therefrom, each of said flanges having a beveled recess at its junction l reznovably pivoted in the lugs of the fixed sec- 10 with the said section, one of said flanges 01' tion, substantially as shown and described. lugs being formed with a vertically-disposed In testimony whereof I affix my signature slot and the other with a hole upon its under in presence of two witnesses.
5 side and a stop-lug above the same, and a movable section formed at one end with a lug ANDREW FRYSLIE' to be engaged by the door and at its ends with Witnesses: studs one engaging insaid slot and the other D. W. BOWEN, in said hole whereby the movable section is U. H. RUMMEL.
