DOOR-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 27, 1906.

Application filed May 14:, 1904. fierial No. 208,060.

strains brought thereon, and the construe tion serves to hold the parts nicely in their relative positions. The resulting construction is one of marked simplicity and ease of operation, the parts requiring no lubrication.

In the present instance I have shown my invention applied to one type of hanger; but the invention is by no means confined there= to, the above exemplification being necessary to a proper understanding of the invention. My improvements contemplate any variation of the principle embodied herein which comes within the scope of the claims.

Instead of the antifriction-pulleys having conical inner recess-bearings they may be provided with cone-shaped outer bearings, the conical pintles of the track-wheel bearing upon the lower surfaces of the antifriction-wheels.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a door-hanger, the combination of a housing, a track-wheel, an elongated shaft therefor having outwardly-enlarged conical extremities, and antifriction-wheels on opposite sides of the track-wheel having bearings adapted to engage said enlarged extremities.

2. In a door-hanger, the combination with a hanger-frame of a track-wheel, a shaft therefor having projecting conical pintles, antifriction-wheels rotatively mounted on the frame on opposite sides of the trackwheel, and having annular interior conical bearings adapted to engage said conical pintles.

3. In a door-hanger, the combination with a housing and a track-wheel, of a fixed shaft on which said wheel is mounted in said hous ing to rotate therein, and having outwardly conical portions projecting on either side of the said housing, antifriction-wheels journaled on the outer face of the housing and having interior corresponding conical faces to respectively engage the conical portions of said shaft, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have afIixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

RICHARD B. BROWNE.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD B. BROWNE, of New York, in the borough of Brooklyn and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door- Hangers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and clear description thereof.

My invention relates to doorhangers.

The present improvements relate more particularly to antifriction devices for sliding doors, gates, and the like and also to adjustable devices for hanging the door or gate to the hanger.

With these purposes in view my invention consists in the following construction and combination of parts, the details of which will first be fully described and the features of novelty then set forth and claimed.

Figure 1 is a side view of a hanger to which I have applied my improvements. Fig. 2 is an end elevation. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the hanger with one of the outer antifriction-wheels removed, the pintles of the latter and the main roller being shown in transverse section. Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical sectional view of the device.

In the drawings, 1 indicates the housing of the hanger; 2, preferably an upturned lip at the bottom of the hanger; 3, the jointed upper portion of the hanger; 4, the usual flanged track-wheel; 5, the shaft or pintle of the wheel 4, 6, cone-shaped termini of the shaft 5, converging inwardly from the outer opposite ends; 7, guide-slots in the housing 1 through which the shaft 5 projects; 8, antifriction-pulleys journaled on pins 9 on opposite sides of the housing; 10, annular inwardly-convergin 'bearing-surfacesuponpulleys 8, corresponding to the coned ends 6 of the shaft 5.

In operation the hanger is placed upon any of the usual track-rails common in sliding doors and gates, and pulleys 4 being proportioned to the particular track-rail employed. The conical bearings 6 of wheel 4 rest Within the corresponding annular flaring recesses of the antifriction-pulleys 8, the axle 5 being free to adapt itself in its rotary movement in connection with the antifriction-wheels 8 to any lateral play. The shape of the ends of Witnesses: the axle 5 and the antifriction-wheels 8 pre- JAMES GILMOUR, vents any spreading of the hanger due to J. D. Hose.
