ISAAC O. RUSSELL, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR, BY DIRECT AND MESNE ASSIGN- -MENTS, OF ONE-FOURTH TO CYRUS .I. CLARK AND ONE-FOURTH TO JOHN H. BERTING,

BOTH OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

DOOR-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 11, 190s.

Application filed Ju1y126, 1907. Serial No. 385,598.-

Be it known that I, IsAAo O. RUssELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Hangers, of

which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a hanger for sliding doors of such character that it will be very substantial yet-cheap to manufacture and easy to operate.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention: 1

Figure 1 is an end elevation showing the hanger in position within a suitable supporting track; Fig. 2 a side elevation of the hanger, a section of track, and a section of pulley; Fig. 3 a transverse vertical section, and Fig. 4 a side elevation.

In the drawings 10 indicates a plate of any desired shape and of any material, such for instance as ordinary iron plate,v provided at its end. with one or more bolt holes 11 and at its upper end with a single opening 12 adapted to receive a-stationary ring 13 of suitably hardened material, provided in its interior with a race-way 14 of suitable form to hold the balls 15 in a vertical lane against transverse displacement. The lianger 10 is supported ina tubular track 16 by means of a pair of

rollers

17 and 18 each having a segmental face' 19, the curvature of which corresponds with the curvature of the interior of the tubular track 16. Formed preferably integral withhead 17 is an axial spindle 20 and, closelyad'acent the inner face of the.

roller 17, a ba cone 21. The roller 18 is bored axially to fit u on spindle 20 and at its inner face is providhd with a cone 22, the two cones 21 and 22 coacting withthe series of balls-15. Roller 18 may be held u on spindle 20in any desired manner but I find a convenient means to be a mere heading over of the end 20 of spindle 20. The roller '18 may be rigidly secured to spindle 20, but

I prefer'to so form the fastening means 20' way 14 of ring 13 serves to prevent the inner faces of the

rollers

17 and 18 from contacting with the plate 10 and thus eliminates all possibility ofa rubbing friction between said rollers and the plate. Plate 10 projects downwardly through a longitudinal slot 16 formedthrough the track 16.

I claim as my invention:

1. A door. hanger comprising a main member having a transverse perforation with a ball race therein, a pair of segmental-faced rollers arranged one upon each side of said main plate and connected by a spindle passing through the ball race the two rollers being relatively rotatable, and a series of balls arranged between said ball race and said spindle, and a tubular track adapted to receive said rollers within its interior.

2. The combination, with a tubular track, of acoacting hanger comprising a main plate having a perforation in its upper end, a ring mounted in said perforation and provided and a second cone coacting with said balls.

In witness whereof, I, have hereunto set my hand and seal at Indianapolis, Indiana, this twenty-second day of July, A; D ..one

' thousand nine hundred and seven.
