SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 724,726, dated April 7, 1 903.

Application filed liebrnary 9, 1903 To all whom it may concern; Be it known that I, SQLON E. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Putnam, in the county of Windham and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Weather-Strip, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to weatherstrips of the character disclosed in a prior patent granted to me on June 26, 1900, No..

is a perspective view of a slightly-modified form of construction, and Fig. 5 is a crosssectional view through the same.

Similar reference-numerals indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

In the embodiment illustrated in the first three figures of the drawings a buffer-strip is employed, which is preferably formed of felt and is doubled upon itself, so that its

edges

11 and 12 are substantially alinedQ This buffer-strip incloses a compressible fill-' ing 13, which may be of any desired material, that shown being longitudinally disposed cords. A binder-strip 14 incloses one edge of the buffer-strip, leaving the other edge exposed, one portion 15 of this binder-strip being located between the edges of the bufferstrip. The various overlapping edges thus formed are secured together by fastening means in the form of stitching 16. The struc ture illustrated in Figs. land 5, is substan tially the same as that above described, with the exception that a lining-sheet 17 of paper is arranged within the buffer-strip and incloses the compressible filling. One edge of this lining-sheet is inclosed by the binderstrip, the other edge being located exteriorly thereof, and the stitching is passed through said edges.

, 'There are manydecided advantages for this structure. In the first place the filling prevents the bufier-strip becoming flattened, and thus serves to provide a better cushion. By having the binder-strip surrounding one edge only of the bufier-strip a better bead is provided for the'fastening-tacks, and, furthermore, the heads of these tacks will be covered by the .exposed edge of the bufierstrip. This'construction can also be more easily manufactured thanthat illustrated in my former patent. In that structure the binder-strip covered both edges of the bufferstrip. As the felt varies in thickness and the thick portions come together when the strip is doubled, it very often is difficult, if not impossible, to bind both. The result has been that these places not being properly bound had to be cut out, causing considerable waste. In the present structure there are no such defective places, as the binderstrip will always properly cover one edge and can be secured. At the same time this strip constitutes a strong bead or lip through which the fastening devices are passed.

From the foregoing it is thought that the construction, operation, and many advantages of the herein-described invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without further description, and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the'invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire-to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a weather-strip, a flexible buffer-strip doubled upon itself, and a binder-strip inclosing but one edge of the buffer-strip, leaving the other edge exposed.

2. In a weather-strip, a fiexiblebuffer-strip doubled upon itself, a binder-strip inclosing but one edge of the bufier-strip and having one of its edges located between the edges'of the buffer-strip, and fastening means passing through the several edges to secure them together.

3. In a weather-strip, a flexible buffer-strip doubled upon itself, a compressible filling inclosed by the buffer-strip, a binder-strip in= closing but one edge of the bufier-strip and having one of its edges located between the edges of the buffer-strip, and stitching passing through the several edges to secure them together.

4. In a weather-strip, a flexible bu ffer-strip doubled upon itself, a lining-sheet arranged within the buifer-strip, a compressible filling inelosed by the buEer-strip and lining-sheet, a binder-strip surrounding one edge of the buffer-strip and lining-sheet and having one of its edges located between the edges of the buifer-strip and lining-sheet, and stitching passing through the several edges to secure them together.

5. In a weather-strip, a felt bulfer-strip SOLON E. MOORE.
