DOOItJ-IOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 29, 1916.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, PERCY E. HEATHER- BELL and GORDON G. HEATHERBELL, subjects of the King of Great Britain, residing at Deep Bay, in the county of Port Cygnet, Tasmania, Australia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door- Holders; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in door checks and holders.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple device which can be readily applied to the ordinary door to hold the door firmly in open position.

Another object is to provide a door holder with novel means for releasing the same when the door is to be closed or opened.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a front elevation of a portion of a door showing our invention applied thereto and in operative position; Fig. 2 is an edge view of the door, showing our invention in side elevation; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the device taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view on the line H of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view showing the manner of attaching the rod to the stop.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents a plate which is secured to the inner face of the door near the lower edge thereof, said plate carrying a pair of vertically alined guide eyes 11 and 12. Disposed through these guide eyes is a bolt 13 having a rubber tip 1 1 on the lower end thereof. Secured on the bolt above the eye 12 and by means of the pin 15 is a collar 16, a coiled spring 17 being disposed on the bolt and bearing with its ends respectively against the eye 11 and the collar 16. This spring normally holds the bolt in lower projected position so that the rubber tip engages with the floor. Secured to the door above the plate 10 is a plate 18 to which is rotatably secured a drum 19,

this drum being secured by means of a screw 20. A pair of oppositely extending radiating handles 21 are formed on the outer end of the drum which are adapted to be grasped in the hand to rotate the drum. Secured to the upper end of the bolt is a wire 22, the upper end being connected with one end of a cord 28, which cord is secured at its other end to the drum and arranged to be wound on the drum, when the drum is rotated. It will thus be seen that the spring will hold the bolt against the floor and retain the door against movement, but by grasping the handles and turning the drum, the bolt can be lifted.

Pivotally mounted on a plate 24:, which is secured around the inner end of the drum, is a lever 25, this lever having a lug 26 which is arranged to engage in the notches 27 of the drum to hold the bolt in elevated position.

It will be noted that the lug is inclined at one side to permit the drum to be easily turned when winding the cord, but by reason of the other straight side the notches will be engaged and prevent the retrograde movement of the drum until the lever is lifted.

' What is claimed is:

The combination with a vertically slidable door stop, of a drum mounted on the PERCY E. HEATHERBELL. GORDON G. HEATHERBELL.
