Description
DEMETRIUS FRED. CHARLTON, CF MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN.
WEATHER-GUARD FOR TRANSOIVIS AND DOORS.
No. 795,691. p
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 25, 1905.
Application filed December 29, 1904 Serial No. 238839.
To LZZ wl/1,0m t may con/cern:
Be it known that l, DEMETRIUs FRED. CHARLTON, of Marquette, in the county of Marquette and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Weather-Guards for Transoms and Doors; and l do hereby declare the followin(r to be a full, clear, and exact description ofP the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of this invention is to provide a weather-guard for doors and transom-sashes hinged at their lower edges, such guard being of service when the door or transom-sash is opened, as well as when closed, preventing snow or rain from drifting in and lodging beneath the hinged sash or in the 'rabbet of the door.
The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical sectional view of a portion of a door and transom frame, showing my improvement. Fig. 2 is a front elevation. Figs. 3 and 4 are views of the two parts of the-guard detached. Fig. 5 shows a slight modification.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a transom-sash of the type hinged aclong its lower rail, the pintle of the hinge 2 being located at the inside, so that in opening the transom sash or light the upper end of the sash will swing inwardly, the sash turning on the hinge. Heretofore considerable difficulty has been experienced by reason of rain and snow drifting in and forming iceA at the rabbet of the sill 3, and when this occurs while the sash is open it is impossible to close the latter without first having to remove the ice or snow. The same difliculty is experienced at the hinged side of a door.
According to my invention the weatherguard is composed of two parts, one being located on the sill or door-j amb and the other on the sash of the transom or door. Each is curved on a radius the center of which is the pintle of the hinge.
4 designates a curved plate permanently secured to the sash of the transom, as by nails or screws passed through a flanged edge thereof, the lower free edge of the plate being sli htly bent or curved outwardly, as at 6. T e stationary member of the guard consists of a plate 7, rigidly secured to the sill 3, as by screws or nails 8. The curved plate 4 conforms to a correspondingly-curved' portion of the stationary member 7 each being bent on a radius the center of which is the hinge 2. The result is that as the transomsash is opened the plate 4 will. move over or telescope the stationary member 7 but in no instance will the free end of such plate pass beyond the upper end of the stationary member. In "consequence no snow or rain or ice can lodge between the sill and the sash. Likewise the hinged bottom of the sash is protected from the elements when the sash is closed. p
It is manifest that the stationary member may be formed in various ways. In Figs. 1 and 4 l have shown it as being composed of a continuous sheet of metal bent to conform to the outer or exposed portion of sill 3 and having an inner vertical wall 9, against which the outer face of the sash is designed to bear when closed, the lower edge of such wall being secured to the rabbeted face of the sill. ln Fig. 5 l have shown this inner wall 10 as being curved forwardly and secured .to the upper face of the sill. lt is obvious that any preferred form of construction of this stationary member may be employed.
From what has been said it willbe seen that l have provided an extremely simple and inexpensive weather-guard for hinged sashes or doors, that by means thereof the entrance of snow or rain and the possibility of ice forming between the sill or j amb and the hinged sash or door is impossible, both when the sash or door is opened and closed. The movable member of the guard being curved on the same radius as the stationary member and the center of the radius being the pintle of the hinge, it is obvious that the movable member of the guard will always maintain a iixed relation relative to the stationary member. Should the transom-sash be open to its full limit, the outwardly-bent free edge of the movable member will bear tight against the plate 7 of the stationary member, so as to insure the proper movement of the movable member over the stationary member when the sash is being closed.
I claim as my inventionl. The combination with a hinged sash or door, of a weather-guard comprising two members, one being secured to the sill or frame and the other to the sash or door, and each curved on a radius having the hinge as its center, the movable member overlapping the stationary member.
2.. The combination With a hinged sash or door, of a Weatherguard comprising a stationary member secured to the sill or frame curved on its outer face on a radius the eenter of which is the hinge of the sash or door, and a plate secured to the sash or door also curved on the same radius'and desi ned to overlap the stationary member in al stages of movements of the sash or door.
3. The combination of the sash, its sill,
i and hinges for securing the former to the latter, of a Weather-guard comprising a stationary member secured to said sill and having an upwardlyeextended portion curved on its front face on a radius the center of Which is the hinge, and a plate secured lto the sash along one of its edges, its other edge being free, said plate 'being curved on the same radius as the curved portion of the stationary member .and designed :to vextendover the lat- 4. The combination With a transom-sash,
-a sill '.therefor, andhinges .for securing the former to the latter, of a Weather-guard comprisinga metalliostationary member extend-
