Application filed July 29, 1901. Serial 10. 70.118. (R0 model.) I i To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES A. ARMAN- TROUT, a citizen of the United States, resid- My invention consists in the construct-ion,
arrangement, and combination of parts, as hereinafter fully set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying'drawings, in which Figure 1 is an inside face View of one end portion of the metal platcadapted to be fixed direct to a door and shows the relative positions of the operative parts connected therewith; Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view on the line a; a: of Fig. 1, showing the metal strip hinged to the bottom edge of the plate in its normal position. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the invention, showing it fitted to the outside face of the bottom. por
tion of a closed door and the hinged metalstrip overlying the inclined face otthe fixed threshold of the door as required in practical use. Fig. i is a perspective view of the lower portion of a door and an end portion of.
the iixed plate and hinged weather-strip in their relative positions when the door is open.
The letter Atdesignatos a ,strip of"plate' metal of uniform widthirom endto end Its top edge portion B isilat and straight and adapted to be fixed against the outsid'iace" ct door by means of nails or screws passed .through perforations in' said top edge portiou, .A double-elbow-shaped bend below the hat top edge portion extending etraightfrom fixed toits inside face and coiled at their top ends to serve as hearings for a metal rod and bent inward at their lower ends to engage the outside face of a door, adapt the lower portion of the plate and the metal. straps to be ih'Flg. 3.
jointly fixed to the door by means of screws extended through coinciding perforationsinthe plate and straps and securely retained in position as required to provide space between theplate and the door for operativedevices that will be concealed and protected under. the fixed plate A.
D represents a hell-crank lever pivoted to the inside face of the plate-A, and F is a metal rod extended through the coils at the upper ends of the fixed metal straps O, and its inner end is bent downward and pivotally connected with the short arm of the hellcrank'lever D. Metal collars h are fixed to the rod F and a contractile coil-spring placed on the rod and between the fixed collars in such a manner that the spring will normally re tain the free end of the rodprojected beyond the end of the plate A, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.
A" is a straight strip oi sheet metal inclined in opposite directions at its upper and lower edge portions and corresponding in length with the plate A. At oine distance from the lower edge and outsideaface are fixed hinges m, that are also fixed tothe outside face and lower edge portion of the plate A, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, iu'such amanner that the hinged strip can project upward when the door is open, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, or
downward to overlie the threshold,as shown Straight pieces 1' of metal st-raps are jb'iutly and pivotally connected-with the bell-craxili. l ever D and fixed to a hinge r, that overlies thcin nerface of the upper edge portion of the hingedstrip A to which the hinge i fixed, as shown in Fl". 3, in such a manne that when the door is closed and the projecting end of the rod F comes in contact with the head of a screw 8, adjustably fixed iiiTtlIe'door-jamb, the coil-spring will becautracted and the bell-crank lever actuated as required to swing the hinged strip downward over the inclined face of the threshold, as shown in Fig. 3, and when the door is opened the power stored in the contractile spring will be released and cause the hinged strip A to swing upward into position, as shown in Figs.
2 and t. By simply reversing the position of the bell-crank lever and the movable rod and changing it from one end of the plate to the into donble-elbowshape from end to end at its npper dfgejportion and metal straps, coiled other end it is obvions 'iny jv'eatlfer-strip is geonsly combined with a. 6001;; the practical operation and utility off my intention will be readily understood by persons familierwith automatic weather-strips for doors;
What I claim as new, and desire to secure of the-plate, a strip of metal hinged to the lower edge of the metal plate, at some disby Letters Patent,- iss 7 1. In a weather-strip for doors, a. plate bent into double-elbow shape from end to end at its upper edge portion and metal-strapmcoiled at their. upper ends and bent at right angles at their lower ends; fixed to the inside face of the metalplate, as shown and described, 1
,for the purposes stated.
2. In a westher-s'trip for doors, a plate bent at their up'perends and bent at right angles 'at their lower ends, fixed to the inside face i of the metal piste, a rod extended through 'for the purposes stated; v '3'. -An automatic weathe'fistripfo'r'do said coils of the fifxed metal strapgcollars ill gall- .-to4th'e.rod end a coil-spring .ihterposedd between the collars, as sheen and describe comprisingvametel .plate'hent inmates elbow shape frb n'end to end at its; top e'dge portion, metal striip's' ha; ,ing coils at theii! n1 per ends and elbows at their lower eniils-fixen}:v to the inside face of the plate, a spring-new};-
