GEORGE RHINES, OF DANVILLE, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR T0 ALLITH PROUTY COMPANY, OF DANVILLE, ILLINOIS, A. CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
DOOB-HANGER.
Application filed May 5, 1917.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Gnonon ltrrinns, a citizen of the United States, residing in Danville, county of Vermilion, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to hangers for sliding doors and particularly to the type of hangers known as trolley hangers, that is hangers adapted to run on the inside of a substantially inclosed track.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide a hanger in cooperation with the track which may be readily attached to or detached from the door to which the hanger is applied.
Another object is to provide a simple, cheap, efficient and strong hanger which may be easily applied readily assembled and which permits of removal from the door by a half turn.
In hangers for sliding doors and particularly for barn doors conditions arise from time to time which make it necessary to remove the hanger from the doors or which have to do with the application of the hanger to the doors. Oftentimes the doors are warped or the ground at the bottom of the doors is uneven, hence, making it necessary to provide for the proper operation of the doors in spite of such obstruc; tions. There are hangers in use today for trolley tracks which have a body portion carrying the wheels for engaging the track and a pendant portion consisting of one side plate or two side plates for bolting to the sides of the door proper provision being made to accommodate the plates to the thickness of the door. It is such a type that my present invention seeks to improve in providing amuch simpler means of application to the door and in doing away with the large cumbersome side plates and still provide a strong reliable connection between the hanger body and the door and one that is quickly connected to or disconnected from the door. I
Afurther object of the invention is to provide an improved connection between the member or carriage which travels on the track and the member carried by the door whereby the door may assume a vertical position regardless of the position of the carriage with respect to the vertical.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 31, 1920.
Serial No. 166,539.
Direction is requested to the drawings, wherein- Figure 1 shows a side elevation of one form of hanger embodying my invention, a portion being in section.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section 011 the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a modified form.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section on line i4. of Fig. 3, and
Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on line 55 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a side elevation showing the parts in reverse order.
The type of hanger which I prefer to disclose in my invention comprises a body 10 having a pendent 11, which pendent has preferably a head 12 for supporting engagement with a door attaching plate. The hanger body 10 is provided with the usual rollers or wheels 13 journaled in the ends of the body 10. I have preferred to show a tandem hanger, that is, one having two pairs of wheels arranged one in front of the other, although I do not limit my inven tion to a tandem type of hanger.
1 1 is a door attaching plate that is, a plate for attachment to the upper edge of the door by inserting lag screws (not shown) or other means through the slotted apertures 15. The apertures'15 are formed so as to permit proper sidewise adjustment of the plate 1 1 on the top of the door and also if desired, to receive more than. one lag screw in the aperture. The intermediate portion of the plate 14: is upset forming a stirrup 16 having two side walls 17 and 17 forming a central aperture 18 between the side walls. The head 12 of the pendent is preferably T-shaped and in thickness slightly less than the width of the aperture 18 at its central portion, and is arranged to lie in the plane of the body or truck 10. The surface of the head being curved where contact is made with the stirrup. In the type of hanger shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the head 12 is provided with shoulders 19 which make a straight line contact with the underside of the walls 17 and 17 of the stirrup 16, that is, when the pendent is inserted in the stirrup 16 and turned through approximately 90, the shoulders of the T-head 12 will eng e the under sides of the walls of the stirru p, thus supporting any plate.
weight carried by the plate 14. The straight line contact prevents tilting motion in the plane of the hanger body but permits a sidewise swinging ot' the door.
In the form shown in Figs. 3 ant the head 12 of the bolt is somewhat spherical in outline so as to make a contact with the stirrup 16 of the plate 1 a which will permit a tilting or rocking of the door, edgewise and sidewise. The throat 20 of the pen le it is smaller than the wi lth of the aperture formed by the walls 21 and 21 of the stirrup 16.
It will. be observed that the hanger embodying my invention is a very simple one,
preferably of acasting having the necessary stirrups and apertures cast therewith andhaving sutficient strength to permit supporting the heaviest door that the track on which the hanger rolls will support. For instance, I may provide a hanger body provided with a pendant having a slot and a head on the door plate such as is shown in Fig. 6. Another form might include a hanger body having a slot in its under side and the plate provided with an upwardly extending member carrying a operation with the slot.
Such modifications as are possible in a hanger of this type I consider as coming within the scope or my invention.
Having fully described my invention what I wish to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A slidable door hanger, consisting of a wheeled carriage and a door member, one
ncad for coof said members havin an n ari 'ht shank s l h provided with a cross-head extending in the direction oi the'path of traveler the carriage,,said head having face portions slop ing transversely in opposite directions from a median line extending longitudinally oi the head, the other member having a continuous stirrup provided with a slot of a size to receive the cross-head therethrough, the cross-head lying transversely of the slot with its sloping portions in cooperative relation with the inner walls of the stirrup, there being a contact engagement between the head and the stirrup in the direct on of the length of the head to prevent retive tilting of the members in the direction of said contact.
2. A slidable door hanger, consisting of a wheeled carriage provided with a depending shank proi 'ided with a cross-head disposed in the direction of the path of trai 'el of the carriage, said cross-head being sub stantially straight longitudinally at the top thereof and having face portions sloping downwardly in opposite directions from said straight portions, and a door member having a continuous stirrup arching upwardly therefrom and provided with a slot of a size to receive the cross-head therethrough, said cross-head being normally disposed within the stirrup and transversely of the slot, the interior walls of the stirrup at opposite sides of the slot engaging the top of the cross head in a substantially straight line contact to prevent relative tilting of tlie'ineinbers in the longitudinal direction oi the head, the sloping face portions of the head permitting relative tilting movements of the members transversely oi? the head.
