SCREEN-CATCH.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Eatented April 23, 1907.
Application filed August 27,1906. Serial No. 332,238.
To tI/Z whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK K. HUBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Celina, in the county of Collin and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements' in Screen-Catches; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in a combined catch and lock, and more particularly to that class adapted to be used for holding screen-doors, windowscreens, and the like in a closed position; and my object is to provide a device of this class which will engage a suitable pin or a screw in the stationary part of the door or window frame and hold the screen closed.
A further object is to provide means for locking the ends of the catch together, so that the same cannot be withdrawn from the pin or screw until it is again unlocked.
Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to, and more particularly pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings which are made a part of this application, Figure l is a perspective view of aportion of a door-j amb and screendoor, showing my improved combined catch and lock secured thereto. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, showing portions of the door and device in section; and Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the combined catch and lock removed from the door or screen.
Referring to the drawings, in which similar reference-numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, l indicates a door-jamb which may be of the usual or any preferred construction and has secured at a suitable point thereon a pin 2, which preferably consists of a large screw having a head 3 at its outer end, the inner end thereof being screwed into the jamb. Secured to the screen-frame 4 in any preferred manner, as by screws 5, is a plate 6, said plate having spring- arms 7 and 8 integral with the upper and lower edge thereof, respectively, said arms converging toward each other at their outer ends and are so disposed that when the screen-frame is closed said arms will engage the pin 2 and securely hold the frame closed, and it will be readily seen that when said device is employed in connection with a screen-door that the door will always be normally held in a closed poe sition, and the tension of the spring- arms 7 and 8 is of sufficient strength to prevent undue warping of the screen-frame- It will also be seen that by employing this construction the usual form of spring for closing the door and holding the same closed can be dispensed with.
The outer free end of the arm 8 is so disposed as to form a socket 9 thereon, in which is adapted to be secured a link 10, while the outer free end of the arm 7 is directed upwardly and bent upon itself to form a retain- `ing-bead 11, and it will clearly be seen that when it is desired to lock the screen-frame in its closed position this result may be accom plished by forcing the outer ends of the springarms into Vclose relationship, whereby the upper bar of the link l() may be disposed over the upwardly-extending end of the spring-arm 7, and when the pressure is removed from the outer ends of the two arms they are again separated and assume their normal position, and, as best shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the upper bar of the link 10 will be disposed into locked relationship with the retainingebead l1, so that when an attempt is made to open the door the pin 2 will direct the bars 7 and 8 still farther apart and more securely seat the link behind .the retaining-bead.
By providing this means of locking the frame closed it will be seen that the usual form of hook usually employed may be dispensed with, and this is a very important object from the fact that it is well known that when a hook is employed in connection with a screen-door the liar incident to closing the same will very frequently throw the hook into engagement with the door-j amb, thereby mutilating and disfiguring the same.
What I claim is- The combination with a screen frame and jamb therefor secured to said screen-frame;
IOO
of a plete, spring-arms secured to said plate In testimony whereof have signed my and converging at right angles thereto, a link name to this specification in the presence of Io pivoted to one of the spring-arms and adapttWo Subscribing Witnesses.
ed to take over and. be secured to the end of the opposite arm, a head on the opposite arm, FREDERICK K' HUBER means to dispose said link into engagement Witnesses:
with said bead, and a pin in said jamb adapt- W. A. MIXAN,
ed to enter between said arms. J. H. CORNETT.
