DOOR BRACING DEVICE.
APPLICATION FILED DEC. 30, m4.

84 mm 1 1 To? Gnome o strains arnnr CHRISTIAN G. FILZER, OF ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA.
:ooon-BJaAcINe DEVICE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN Gr. FILZER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Door-Bracing Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to door bracing devices and consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.
The object of the invention is to provide a device which may be attached to doors so as to prevent the sagging of the door or to strain the door to make it conform to the casing and also to strain the door to correct it as to warping.
The invention isillustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows Figure 1 shows a front elevation of a door with the device in place.
Fig. 2 a section on the line 22 in Fig. l.
1 marks the door, 2 the door hinges, 3 the door stile nextthe hinge and a the cross rails. These may be of any ordinary construction.
Anchor pieces 5 are opposingly placed at each side of the door on the stile. These are provided with the flanges 6 forming a facing which contacts the door. The opposing anchor pieces are connected by the bolt 7 which is screw threaded and screwed into the opposing anchor pieces so that the flanges 6 form a clamp between which the stile is clamped. The rods 8 are screwed into the perforations 9 in the anchor pieces 5. The opposite ends of the rods are screw threaded and extend through perforations 10 in the anchor pieces 11. The anchor pieces 11 are similar to the anchor pieces5 except the perforations 10 are not screw threaded. Cap nuts 12 are arranged on the lower sides of the anchor pieces 11 and the nuts 13 are arranged on the upper sides. The anchor pieces 11 have the flanges 14: similar to the flanges 6 and the opposing anchor pieces 11 are connected by the screw threaded stud 15 so that the anchor pieces may clamp the rail between them.
Ordinarily the clamping action will be sufficient to hold the anchor pieces in place Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent. Patgntrefi S ept, 191% Application filed December 30, 1914. Serial No. 879,638.
but if desired the anchor pieces 5 may be secured by screws 16 extending through the flange 6 and the anchor pieces 11 by screws 17 extending through the flanges 141.
It will be observed that the rods 8 may be put under strain either to draw the anchor pieces toward each other or to force them apart as the conditions may require. Ordi narily with the brace in the position shown, the rods would be strained to draw the anchor pieces together so as to prevent the sagging of the door. The rods may be locked in adjustment under these conditions by the nuts 13. l/Vhere it is desired to reverse this strain, the nuts 13 are utilized for exerting the strain and the cap nuts 12 for locking the parts in adjustment.
Under certain conditions it is desirable to put one rod 8 under strain to draw the anchor pieces toward each other and the rod at the opposite side of the door under strain to force the anchor pieces apart. In this way a warped door may be straightened.
What I claim as new is 1. In a door bracing device, the combination of a door; two pairs of anchor pieces arranged on opposite sides of the door; screw threaded studs connecting the anchor pieces at opposite sides of the door and forming clamps of the anchor pieces between which the door is clamped; and rods connecting said anchor pieces.
2. In a door bracing device, the combination of a door; two pairs of anchor pieces arranged on opposite sides of the door; screw threaded studs connecting said anchor pieces to the door and forming means for clamping the door between the anchor pieces; a rod secured to the first anchor piece of each pair, said rod being screw threaded and extending through the second anchor piece of the pair; a cap nut extending from the end of the rod against the anchor piece; and a second nut at the opposite side of said second anchor piece.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHRISTIAN G. FILZER. Witnesses:
B. M. HARTMAN, THOMAS C. MILLER.
