Description

NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
.BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GRANDSTAFF, OF PERU, INDIANA.
WEATH ER-STRI P.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 711,491, dated October 21, 1902. nppiipptionineaepriie,1902. spannt. 102.113. (Nomad.)
T0 all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GRANDSTAEF, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Peru, in the county of Miami and State of Indiana, have made a certain new and useful Invention in Weather- Strips; and I declare 'the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisr specification.
Figure l is a section on the line 1 1, Fig. 2, showing the invention as applied with the weather-strip in lowered position. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the invention as applied, parts being broken away. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3, Fig. 2, with the weather-strip in raised position. Fig. 4p is a detail perspective view of the strip proper. Fig. 5 is a detail View of the guide-block s'.
The invention has relation to weatherstrips for the bottoms of doors; and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of parts, as hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings the letter a designates a door, b b the door-jambe at the sides, and c the sill or carpet-strip at the bottom of the doorway.
e. is the weather-strip, which is designed 'to extend under the bottom of the door. It is made of metal and is formed with upturned end flanges f, connected at their inner ends with an upturned back ange g, which eX- tends farther upward than the tops of the Y end flanges, this extension h being perforated at 7s la for the passage of the hinge-pins ZZ and at m for the attachment of the platespring n to the door.
p p indicate plates or castings, each of which is perforated through its upper and vertical portions for the reception of screws' the lug or fiange r and the face of the door is an angular interval, which allows play to the back flange of the weather-strip.
.The lifting-spring fn is normally bent at its middle port-ion and is riveted to the middle of the weather-strip flange in such wise that its upper portion or tongue projects upward above the liange and engages a wear-plate w, which is let into the bottom of the face of the door. This spring n serves normally to hold lthe weather-strip u p, so that it will clear the carpet in passing over the same when the Vdoor is opened.
Near the inner end or hinge side of the sillstrip c is provided a beveled wear-plate c, which serves to raise the weather-,strip in a positive manner when the doorl is being openedv or closed tothe proper height to 'pass over the sill-strip without striking the same.
At the bottom of the inner or khinge jamb of the doorway is secured a guide-block s, the -inner end of which is formed with an oblique downward bevel on its under side, as indicated at if, the i beveled end serving to engage the free edge of the Weather-strip at its inner-end portion and force such edge down into close engagement' with the sill.
At the bottom of the outer jamb of the doorway is secured a bevel-end guide-block s,which when the door is closed engages the edgeof the weatherfstrip at its outer end portion and serves also to force its free edge down to close engagement with the sill.
In this wise it is designed to provide a closely-engaging weather-strip which when the door is yclosed will not only be securely pressed against the sill, but also will be tightly pressedby its back flange against the bottom of the inner door-face, and its ends being flanged will cover in the ends of the bottom of the door, thus preventing entrance of Water at the ends of the strip and serving as stiffening-ribs.
Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
l. The combination with a door and the sill of the doorway, of a hinged weather-strip having the upturned back ange provided with perforations for the hinge-pins, the wearplate upon the door and the plate-spring secured to the back iiange' and bearing at its upper end upon' said wear-plate, substantially as specified.
2. The combination with a door, of the IOO Weather-strip having end flanges and an eX- tended back lange, the door-plates having inclined flanges or lugs forming angular intervals between themselves and the face of the door, the hinge-pins passing through said lugs and Weather-strip, the Wear-plate in the door, and the plate-spring connected to the middle of the Weather-strip and engaging said Wear-plate, substantially as specified.
A Weathestrip of metal, having the uptnrned end anges, and the npturned back flange conneoted to said end flanges, the upu ward extension of said back flange perforated forthe hinge-pins, and the bent spring secured to the middle of said back flange, substantally as specified.
In testimony whereof I allx my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GRANDSTAFF. Witnesses:
C. E. GRANDSTAFF, M. S. LANE.
