GARAGE-DOOR BOLT.
Application filed November 28, 1924. Eierial No. 752,769.
My invention relates to bolts or fasteners designed particularly for large swinging or folding doors, such as are commonly used for garages, barns, and similar buildings, and has for its principal object to provide an improved fa tener in the form of a double-acting bolt for securing both the top and bottom margins of the door, of such construction that it may readily be applied to doors of a variety of heights without alternation requiring the use of tools, and that both bolts may be simultaneously actuated in either direction by the operation of a single actuating device, such as a lever,
2, each consisting of a tubular member or sleeve, the outer end of which is preferably bevelled, as shown at 14 in said figure, while the inner end thereof is reduced in diameter to provide a sleeve 15 which is square or otherwise made non-circular in cross section, as best shown in Fig. 5. Each tubular member 13 is mounted to rotate and also to move longitudinally in a clip or half sleeve 16, the construction. of which is best shown in Fig. 6, from which it will be seen that said clip consists of a semicylindrical portion 17 which embraces the tubular member 13 and is provided with laterally extending wings 18, 19 adapted to fit flatly against the face of a door and be secured thereto by screws 20. Baid clip is provided with inwardly projecting curved lips 21 at opposite sides near its ends, which are concentric with the curvature of the cylindrical portion 17 and cooperate therewith to form a circular bearing for the tubular member 13, as best shown in Fig. 5. These lips hold the tubular member 13 from contact with the face of the door, and in cooperation with the cylindrical portion 17 of the clip hold it so that it easily slides longitudinally and may rotate freely. The cylindrical portion 17 of the clip 16 is also provided with an inclined or canishaped slot 22, and as illustrated in Fig. 1 the clips at the top and bottom of the door are reversed with relation to each other so that the slots 22 in said clips re op positely inclined. Said clips,.however, are identical in construction, so that any clip may be placed either-at the top or at the bottom of the door. The two clips are axially alined so that the tubular members 13 at the top and bottom of the door are also in axial alinement. Each of said tubular members is provided with a radiallyprojecting pin 23 which projects into the slot of the clip in which it is held, as shown in Fig. 1. It will be evident, there fore, that by simultaneously rotating the tubular members or bolts proper 13 in the same direction the engagement of their re spective pins 23 with the slots 22 will cause said tubular members to be simultaneously My improved fastener as an entirety comprojected or retracted, depending on the diprises two bolts proper 13, 13, the conrection in which they are rotated.
struction of which is best shown in Fig. The tubular members 13 are connected will function regardless of any adjustments for length that may have been made. An other object is to provide convenient means for locking the bolts against withdrawal. 1 accomplish these objects as hereinafter described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. What I regard as new is set forth in the claims.
In the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a partial front elevation of the door opening and door of a garage or other building, the door being equipped with my improved fastener, which is shown in its operative or locking position;
Fig. 2 is a partial vertical cross-section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a partial horizontal line 3*?) of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a partial horizontal line l%t of Fig. 1;
Fig. is a partial horizontal line of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the clips by which the end portions of the fastener as an entirety are secured to the door.
Referring to the drawiLgs,7, 8 indi. cate, respectively, the top and bottom sills of a door opening, which, as shown, are provided with sockets or keepers 9, 10 to receive the upper and lower bolts proper, respectively, when projected. The door to which the fastener as an entirety is applied, which may be of any suitable description, is indicated by the reference numeral 11.
section on section on section on ilil so that they may be simultaneously rotated and moved endwise by means of a connecting rod 2t, the upper and lower end portions 25, 26 of which are s piared, or otherwise made non-circular in crosasection to correspond with the cross-sectional contour of the sleeves 15, and they are of such dimensions that they have a telescopioor sliding fit.- with said sleeves, but non-rotatably engage them, best shown in In other words, the rod fit, through its end members 26, is nou-rotatably and extcnsibly connected with ,the tubular members 13. Thus it will be apparei. 2 that the hol nroper are free to more endwise 1y to the operating rod they and may be set closer together or rarther apart to accommodate them to doors of different heights without affecting the connection therewith of the operating rod 24, no tools or alterations being neces sary to enable the fastener as an entirety to be applied to doors of diiferentheights.
The connecting rod 24L is preferably made in sections so that ,its length may easily be varied to suit different doors, and in the illustrated construction I have shown the several sections as being operatively connected together by providing them with; flattened end portions 27, 28, one of said flattened portions being provided with a pin 29 and the other with a hole adapted to receive said pin, as best shown in Fig. 2. The joint between the end portions of connecting rod sections is enclosed by a clip 30 secured to the door and arranged to per mit the connecting rod to rotate about its longitudinal axis. In assembling and mounting the fastener as an entirety, the
The connecting rodQd is rotated to actuate thebolts proper by means of a lever 31 provided with a sleeve portion 32 that fits upon and is non-rotatably secured to said connecting rod. Saidsleeve is held in position by means of a bracket ,33 secured to the door and provided with ears 3%, 35 at opposite sides of the sleeve 32, as shown in Fig. l. The lever 31 is hinged ,at- 36 to the sleeve 32 so that it may swing vertically, as indicatedby dotted lines in Fig. l, and a staple 37, or equivalent device, secured to the door in such position that when the lever 31 is swung to the position shown in dotted lines it may be secured to said staple by a pad lock or other suitable means, thus preventing the actuation of said lever. It will be noted that when the bolts proper are projected the lever 31 is parallel with the face of the door, and, therefore, when said lever is swung into 1. l thermore, the construction described ncrmi the operating lever to be mounted on the door at any desired height, as the connections between the said lever and the two bolts need not he of uniform length. sin-cc a wide range of adjustability provided for between the end portions of the connecting rod and the bolts proper. and, therefore. it is easy to obtain any desired length adjustment in connecting them.
