Application led July 16.1904. Serial No. 215,775.

To n/ZZ whom, 'llt 111,107/ cm1/ecru: Y

Be it known that we, PHILIP J. MORAN and JAMES H. JOHNSON, citizens of the United States of America, residing at McKees Rocks, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Stops, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accom panying drawings.

rIhis invention has relation to door-fasteners, and has for its object the provision of novel means for retaining a doorin an opened position until the same is released.

Another object of our invention is to provide a simple and novel construction which is adapted to be used in connection with a door and wall upon which the door is hung, and in constructing' our improved catch we have employed novel means in connection with the 'same whereby when the door has been once placed in engagement with the catch it will be impossible for the same to close until the catch has been released by the foot or hand of the person desiring to close the door. Briey described, our improved fastener or catch consists of a headed pin which is mounted upon the lower edge of the door, and upon the wall or wainscoting we secure a U-shaped bracket in which is mounted a spring-pressed pawl, this pawl being adapted to engage the headedpin of the door, and in connection with the U-shaped bracket we construct a buffer thereon whereby any noise caused by the jar of the door against the fastener will be prevented.

The above construction will be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claim, and in describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, wherein- Figure l is a perspective view of the lower part of the door as hinged to a door-frame, showing our improved fastener mounted thereon. Fig. 2 is a Vertical sectional view of one of the members of our improved fastener, showing the other member in side elevation and secured in the first member. Fig.

3 is a front elevation of the member carried i by a door. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the member which is secured to the wall or walnscoting with lock-paw] and spring removed,

and Fig. is a front view of the same.

In the several views of the drawings accompanying this application like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, and reference will first be had to Fig. l of the drawings, where we have illustrated the fastener as connected to a door and wainscoting of a wall, and the refera-)nce-numeral l indicates the member which is carried by the door, this member comprising' a plate 2, which has an inclined face 3, this face of the plate being inclined, whereby when the door is swung open the pin 4, which is carried by the plate, will remain at right angles to the angle of the door. The piate is provided with screw-holes 5 5, and the pin dis provided with a semicone-shaped head 6, this head forming a shoulder 7, the object of which will be hereinafter more fully described.

rlhe reference-numeral 8 indicates the member of our improved fastener which is carried by the wall or wainscoting, this fastener being placed at such a distance from the doorframe or the point at which the door is hinged so as when the door swings open the pin -t will engage in said member. This member also consists of a plate 9, which has its one face beveled, as indicated at 10, whereby the U- shaped bracket 11 of the fastener will extend outwardly at such an angle as to be engaged by the pin e of the door member. The plate 9 is also provided with screw-holes 10/ l0', and the U-shaped bracket l1 is formed centrally of said plate, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawings. rlhe bracket has its sides cut away, as indicated at l2 19;, and upon the end of the bracket is the stirrup la, upon the face of which is secured a rubber gasket l5 by pins 16 16. Upon the bottom 17 of the U- shaped bracket is formed a pin I8, and in the side walls Il' ll of the bracket is journaled a pin I9, upon which is mounted a pawl 20, the rearwardly-extending lug 2l of which is adapted to engage a spiral spring 22, mounted upon the pin 1S. rEhe forward end of the pawl ext-ends downwardly, forming a hook 23., which is adapted to engage the shoulder T, `formed by the head (i of the pin fl: when the door is open and is being' held by the catch. The relative position of each of these meinbers when the door is being held open is shown in Fig. 2 o the drawings.A where it will be observed the hook 23 engages the pin 4.

Should it be desired to release the door to close the seme, the reel'werdly-extending lug 2i of the pawl 2.0 is depressed by the hund un.- til the hook Z3 becomes disengaged from the pin. et which time the door muy be swung upon its hinges to e closed position. Instead of employing this lug, 2l of the form shown it may he mede of a suilicient size to permit the pressure of e persons foot upon the same to release the catch, :ind this slight change niav be mede without deperti ne; from the scope of the invention.

By employing e rubber `pieket 15 the suine serves the 't'unctior` of a buier, whereby should the door be opened with n suilicient torce to cruise the same to strike the catch the noise created by the same will be dendened by the butler end :til injury, such es the scratching` of the woodwork olf the door. prevented. Vfhile we have herein shown the gasket es being secured upon the front end of the U- shuped bracket by pins i6 i6. we wish it to be understoml that we do not cere to limit ourselves to this exact construction, but may employ other nunns than these vfor securing' e initier thereon.

messe The beveled pietes oi each of the members comprising our improved door-fastener are s0 constructed that as the door swings upon its hinges und describes en are the pin carried by the door member l will be held et such en angle es to readily engage the eetch carried by the wuinscoting. This catch we also construct upon e beveled plete, whereby the catch will extend outwardly at en angle to the weinscoting to facilitate the engagement of the headed pin therein. It will be observed that our improved fastener may be readily employed in connection with shutters and the like places where it is desired to vtasten a transitory member for e short period of time.

What We claim.J lamd desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-vin a door-fastener, the combination of e U- shaped bracket provided with e bese-plete end adapted to be secured to e Wall, and having an annular stirrup on its outer end, en ennuler elastic buffer attached to the outer side of seid stirrup., s1jning-pressed pewl pivotelly mounted in seid bracket and e heeded pin adapted to be mounted on e door and to be engaged by seid pnwl when the door is opened.

Vin testimony whereotl we editi our signatures in the presence ot' two witnesses.
