IMPROVEMENT IN WBAIHIIRLSTRIP.

T0 ALI] WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: i
Be it known that I, JAMES R. MILLS., ofthe city'and county oi' Macon, and State ofMissouri, have invented n new and useful Improvement in Weather-Strips; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, andin which- Figure 1 represents a. perspective View of my invention, the door being shown partly open, and
Figure 2 represents a transverse section of the same with tbe door closed, giving an end .view ofthe elastic bane n E.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.
The object ofthis invention is to preventithe weather, or, in other words, the windand rain and snow from being driven under doors into dwellings.
It consists, in the iirst place, of a strip or piece of wood placed upon a door-sill, or it may be a piece of timber'of suicient .depth and solidity to serve as a door-sill, having a groove cut longitudinally in its upper surface, extending the full width of the doorway, and increasing in depth from one end to the other, so that by the inclination thus presented in the bottom of the groove, the water which comes under the door will flow to one side, (ofthe doorway,) where, by a notch cut in the outer ledge of the groove, or by a spout inserted, it will be returned out of doors; or said strip, with its inclined groove and notch orsp'out, as described, may consist of an iron casting. v
To prevent the rain and wind from passing across or over the groove into the room, arabbet is cut across the bottom of the door on the inside, into which is placed, and fastened securely to the door, a strip or band of India rubber or othcrelast'ic substance, having its lower edge projecting somewhat below the bottom ofthe door.
As the door is closing, this projecting edge of rubber is compressed inv width by pressure ou the door-sill; but when the door is fully closed, by its own elastic force it extends down within the inner edge ofthe groove, thus eifectually barring all passage to wind and weather. 4
A B, in iig. 1, are the jambs of the doorway; D the door, suspended to the jamb B in the usual way; C C a strip of wood. or other Inaterial plu-ced under the door, having formed in its surface the groove f, increasing in depth towards the jamb .'B, near which is the aperture or spout g, for the purpose of conveying the water which may come in, outward again.
Having thus described my invention, wlIat'I claim as new, and desire to'secure by Letters Patent, is-
In combination with a-weather-strip, placed underneath a door, and having in its upper surface a groove extending the full width of the doorway,and increasing in depth from one side of the doorway to the other, and having a notch or spout in the outer ledge of the groove, at the deepest end, for the purpose of letting 'the l water outward, the elastic band E, made of rubber or other material, and applied to the bottoni of the door in such away as that when the door is shut, the free edge-of the band shall extend down into the edge of the groove, in the 'r'nanner and for the purpose specified. Y A
To the above specification of my improvement I have signed my hand, this 30th day of August, A. D. 1867.
JAMES It. MILIS.
