Definitions
- One of these faces lies at right angles to the direction of door movement so that the edge of the door comes into direct contact therewith; and the other face lies parallel to the directioniof door movement so that the edge face of the door wipes or slides across said parallel face during the closing movement of the door.
- the resilient block above referred to is mounted within a suitable recess or pocket in the door jamb, the mounting being so arranged that the block is properly supported to present the two contacting faces in the manner above referred to.
- a clip or retaining socket which is mounted in the pocketor recess of the door jamb and is so constructed asto retain the resilient block in place.
- One object of the present invention is to make provision for adjusting the resilient block with respect to thedoor jamb so asto adjust the amount 'of projection and thereby insure proper and satisfactory functioning of the block with respectto the door.
- This adjustment may be efl'ectuated in a direction parallel to the direction of door move ment so as to adjust the amount of projection of the surface against which the edge portion 46 of the door makes direct contact in the door direction of door movement and is intended to be engaged by the door with a wiping movement.
- a further feature of the invention relates to the provision of a block which is intended to establish the two contacting surfaces above referred to and which is so constructed that it maybe set into place by a lateral or sidewise movement with respect to the door jamb, that is, a movement at right angles to the direction in which the door closes.
- a supporting clip which is so related to the block that when said clip is mounted in the door jamb, the block may then be mounted upon or inserted into the clip by such a movement at right angles to the direction of door closing as distinguished from a movement parallel to the direction of door closing.
- a further feature of the invention relates to the provision of an arrangement in which the block, while being adjust-able in a direction parallel to the direction of door movement, is at all times firmly supported to receive the shock and impact of the closing movement of the door. That is to say, when the block is in any position of adj ustment it is definitely and firmly supported and retained in such position against the impact and shock of closing of the door.
- a further feature in connection with the foregoing is the provision of an arrangement such that the block is at all times held with a sufficient amount of friction and in such amanner as to prevent it from inadvertently moving too far outwardly in the direc tion of adjustment; and also to prevent it from moving in such direction beyond the position into which it is properly adjusted.
- this frictional support or engagement is accomplished be tween the clip and the block without regard or need of frictional contact between any side or embracing portions of the clip and the block.
- this feature is concerned the desired frictional engagement and retention are established between the clip and the block irrespective of the presence of any side or embracing flanges or lugs on the clip itself.
- Another feature of the invention relates to the provision of a device which is very well ada ted for use in connection with door jam s which are surfaced or lined with sheet metal.
- a socket or pocket in the wooden portion of the jamb the same being of slightly larger size than the corresponding opening of the sheet metal surfaces, so that the sheet metal projects slightly beyond the wood into the pocket aforesaid.
- a further feature of the invention is to provide an arrangement wherein it is unnecessary to make provision in the form of the resilient block for sealing over or hiding the line of joinder between the block and the door jamb except at one location. Due to the fact that the block is adjustably mounted within the pocket so that it can be moved outwardly from the jamb parallel to the direction of door movement it follows that the inner edge of the block would move away from the bottom portion of the pocket and expose the same to view. This result is eliminated by providing an overhanging portion of the block of sufficient depth to cover over and protect this line of joinder in all adjusted positions of the block.
- Figure 1 shows a face View of a door iamb having applied thereto a block embodying the features of the present invention this view being a view looking at right angles to the direction of door movement;

- Fi ure 6 shows a perspective view of the Figure 6 but illustrating a modified 'form of clip in which supplemental provision is made for initially holding the block in the clips, especially during the assembling operation.
- the door jamb therein illustrated includesga wooden stanchion or member 10 which is cut back to provide the longitudinally extending ledge or sill 11.
- the edge of the door approaches directly towards this sill during the door closing operation.
- the edge portion of the door is provided with a companion sill so that the door overlies the surfaces 12 and 13 to a certain extent.
- the door jamb 10 is sur: faced or protected'with a sheet metal covering 14 which is shaped to conform to the contour of the jambincluding the sill 11,
- the sheet metal'surface 14 is provided with an opening 16 corresponding to this pocket 15;
- the opening 16- in the sheet'metal is of slightly smaller size than the pocket itself so as to establish a'sli'ght overlap as shown at 17a in Figures 3 and 4 in particular.
- This overlap thus forms a flange or edge around the pocket opening proper.
- it is quite customarv'in the rabbeting operation to leave the lower corners of the opening '15 rounded as evident from examination of Figure 1,
- This clip is conveniently made of sheet metal. It includes a back portion 18 from which there projects a bottom tongue 19.
- the back portion 18 is the hole being preferably bevelledas shown in Figure 6 to take the undercut head of the screw and allow said screw to set flush with the face of the back wall 18 as bestshown in Figure 4c.
- the resilient block is designated in its entirety by the numeral 22. It includes a body portion 23 of generally rectangular form. The upper end of this body portion is suitably shaped to establish a direct contacting surface 24;, the form of which is best evident from Figures 1 and 2. Preferably this portion 24 has its edges rounded down to the parallel sides 25 and 26, which parallel sides are separated a distance from each other equal to the width of the sheet metal opening 16. Such being the case, the resilient block may be seated nicely into the sheet metal opening and will fully occupy the width thereof as is best evident from Figure 2. I
- the back face of the rectangular body portion 23 of the resilient block is intended to seat against the back face 18 of the. clip 17.
- the thickness of the resilient block is somewhat greater than the width of the shoulder 11 of the door jamb so that the surface 28 of the resilient block protrudes beyond the shoulder 11 and beyond the surface 14 a distance adequate to establish'the required amount of projection of the resilient block towards the face of the door.
- this surface 28 is somewhat rounded about an axis parallel to the direction of door movement as best shown in Figure 3.
- the projecting surface portion 28 of the resilient block is carried down somewhat below the body portion 23 of said block so as to establish a projecting or overhanging lip 29.
- This lip reaches below the lower edge of the opening 16 in the jamb and also below the lip 19 of theclip 17.
- This lip 29 is merely for the purpose of insuring a proper cooperation of the parts when theresilient block'is adjusted in the manner to plaineda be presently ex-
- the clip 1715 provided with an outwardly reaching lug 30 which lies parallel to the lug 19.
- This lug 30 has an enlarged and preferably circular head portion as best shown from Figures 3 and 5 and 6, said head portion being of greater width than the neck or shank of said lug.
- the body portion 23 of the, resilient block 22 has a socket or recess 31 which reaches inwardly from its back face.
- This socket or recess accommodates the lug 30- of the clip.
- this socket is of sufiicient dimension in the direction of door movement to permit of such an amount of ad-, justment of the block as may be desired. This fact is evident from Figure 4;.
- the upper portion of the socket 31 is of substantially the full width of the head of the lug 30 as shown at 32 in Figure 8 in particular.- Consequently the resilient block can be set into place into the clip and on to the lug 30 when said blockis in its initial or unadjusted position.
- the socket 31 below the position of its enlarged portion 32 is of restricted width as shown at 33 in Figure 8, but the width of this portion is sufiicient to properly accommodate the shank of the lug 30. Therefore, as the position of the resilient block is adjusted, the enlarged head thereof is so engaged by the position of restricted width 33 that the resilient block is held in place on the lug with such an amount of force as would automatically retain it in place thereon. In fact the enlarged head 30 will usually also have enough friction at the upper end of the socket 31 to retain the resilient block on the lug even in that position.
- the lug 30 is provided with a hole 34 for the accommodation of a screw 35.
- the upper portion 24 of the resilient block has an opening 36 in line with the opening 34 so that the'screw canbe inserted through the opening 36 and can also be reached through said opening for adjustment.
- Said screw passes through another hole 37 in the body 23 of the resilient block and thus it engages the resilient block both above and below the position of the lug 30.
- the hole 38 is enlarged parallel to the back face 18 of the clip so that the screw can be more readily inserted therein.
- An abutment block 40 is placed between the lug 19 of the clip 17 and the lower face of the body portion 23 of the resilient block.
- This abutment block 40 is provided with a hole 11 which is threaded to receive the screw E1 abutment block is forced up alon the screw shank and carries with it the resilient block into a. new position of adjustment.
- the resilient block is held in place both by the engagement of the lug 30 of the clip with the socket 31 of the resilient block, and also by engagement of the screw with the resilient block.
- the lug 30 will serve to hold the resilient block in place on the clip until the screw is inserted through the opening 36 and threaded into place.
- This frictional engagement will effectively retain the resilient block against movement outwardly away from the abutment thus established.
- This frictional engagement includes the engagement of the lug 30 with the socket 31, as well as the engagement of the upper portion 24 of the resilient block with the door 'amb and the engagement of the back face the body portion 23 of the resilient block with the clip.
- lugs 43 and 44 In order to assist in centering the resilient block when setting it into place on the clip 17, it may be desirable to provide side lugs 43 and 44 in position to engage the side faces and 26 respectively of the resilient block. These lugs 43 and 44 will help to so position the resilient block during the assembly operation as to line up its holes 36 and 37 with the hole 34 of the clip so that the screw can be more readily set into place.
- the hole 37 in the body of the resilient block will be made of such size that the screw 35 is a tight fit therein.
- the resilient block and the screw are at all times held in adjusted position with respect to each other.
- I claim 1 The combination with the stanchion of a door jamb, said stanchion being provided with a sill and having a socket reaching inwardly at the position of said sill, and a facing of sheet metal overlying the stanchion at the position of the sill and having an opening registering with the socket of the stanchion, the edge position of the sheet metal overlying the bottom and side faces of the socket, of a sheet metal clip seated into said socket and having a back face portion extending in a direction parallel to the direction of door closing movement and seating against the back face of the socket and having a forwardly extending bottom lug adapted to seat against the edge of the sheet metal facing at the bottom of the socket, said clip having a screw hole elongated in the direction of the door closing movement to receive an attaching screw with the bottom lug aforesaid in engagement with the sheet metal facing and supported thereby, a block of resilient material seated into and connected to said clips, and means for securing said block in place within the clip and permitting the

Description
Oct. 20, 1931. 1. D. PERRY ANTIRATTLER FOR DOORS AND THE LIKE Filed NOV. 29. 1929 Patented Oct. 20, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFECE :IRA D. PERRY, O1 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO PERRY PRODUCTS, INC., OF ELK- HART, INDIANA, A CORPORATION OF INDIANA ANTIRATTLER FOB DOORS AND THE LIKE The present invention has to do with improvements in door stops and similar devices 1 faces for engagement with the closing door.
One of these faces lies at right angles to the direction of door movement so that the edge of the door comes into direct contact therewith; and the other face lies parallel to the directioniof door movement so that the edge face of the door wipes or slides across said parallel face during the closing movement of the door. a
The resilient block above referred to is mounted within a suitable recess or pocket in the door jamb, the mounting being so arranged that the block is properly supported to present the two contacting faces in the manner above referred to. As a convenient 2$ arrangement and type of construction there is provided a clip or retaining socket which is mounted in the pocketor recess of the door jamb and is so constructed asto retain the resilient block in place.
One object of the present invention is to make provision for adjusting the resilient block with respect to thedoor jamb so asto adjust the amount 'of projection and thereby insure proper and satisfactory functioning of the block with respectto the door.
This adjustment may be efl'ectuated in a direction parallel to the direction of door move ment so as to adjust the amount of projection of the surface against which the edge portion 46 of the door makes direct contact in the door direction of door movement and is intended to be engaged by the door with a wiping movement. F
It is an object to provide in connection with the foregoing, a construction such that 50 blocks of the above type maybe readily ad- .Appllcation filed November 29, 1929. Serial No. 410,487.
justed in an extremely simple manner and without the necessity of using special tools for that purpose, such a simple tool as a screw-driver or the like serving to make the adjustment. It is a further object in this connection to provide an arrangement such that the adjustment may be effected when the door is open but without the necessity of removing the resilient block from its pocket or making any other'changes in construction or arrangement or relation of the parts. other words, the arrangement is such that the adjustment can be made immediately when the door is opened by the use of a screwdriver or the like and without the necessity of. removing or changing the condition of other parts of the,structure.
A further feature of the invention relates to the provision of a block which is intended to establish the two contacting surfaces above referred to and which is so constructed that it maybe set into place by a lateral or sidewise movement with respect to the door jamb, that is, a movement at right angles to the direction in which the door closes. In this connection it is a further object tolprovide a supporting clip which is so related to the block that when said clip is mounted in the door jamb, the block may then be mounted upon or inserted into the clip by such a movement at right angles to the direction of door closing as distinguished from a movement parallel to the direction of door closing.
A further feature of the invention relates to the provision of an arrangement in which the block, while being adjust-able in a direction parallel to the direction of door movement, is at all times firmly supported to receive the shock and impact of the closing movement of the door. That is to say, when the block is in any position of adj ustment it is definitely and firmly supported and retained in such position against the impact and shock of closing of the door.
A further feature in connection with the foregoing is the provision of an arrangement such that the block is at all times held with a sufficient amount of friction and in such amanner as to prevent it from inadvertently moving too far outwardly in the direc tion of adjustment; and also to prevent it from moving in such direction beyond the position into which it is properly adjusted. In this connection it is an object to provide an arrangement in which this frictional support or engagement is accomplished be tween the clip and the block without regard or need of frictional contact between any side or embracing portions of the clip and the block. In other words, as far as this feature is concerned the desired frictional engagement and retention are established between the clip and the block irrespective of the presence of any side or embracing flanges or lugs on the clip itself.
Another feature of the invention relates to the provision of a device which is very well ada ted for use in connection with door jam s which are surfaced or lined with sheet metal. In such cases, it is frequently the practice to provide a socket or pocket in the wooden portion of the jamb, the same being of slightly larger size than the corresponding opening of the sheet metal surfaces, so that the sheet metal projects slightly beyond the wood into the pocket aforesaid. In this connect-ion it is an object to provide a clip which can be readily set and secured into such a pocket in such a manner that said clip will rest upon and be directly supported by the edge of the sheet metal and without the necessity of accurately drilling or placing the screw which holds the clip in place.
A further feature of the invention is to provide an arrangement wherein it is unnecessary to make provision in the form of the resilient block for sealing over or hiding the line of joinder between the block and the door jamb except at one location. Due to the fact that the block is adjustably mounted within the pocket so that it can be moved outwardly from the jamb parallel to the direction of door movement it follows that the inner edge of the block would move away from the bottom portion of the pocket and expose the same to view. This result is eliminated by providing an overhanging portion of the block of sufficient depth to cover over and protect this line of joinder in all adjusted positions of the block.
Other objects are to provide a construction of block and clip which are very simple form and design and which can be readily made by manufacturing operations of familiar kind and at low cost.
Other objects and uses of the invention will appear from a detailed description of the same which consists in the features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 shows a face View of a door iamb having applied thereto a block embodying the features of the present invention this view being a view looking at right angles to the direction of door movement;
Figure 2 is a perspective view correspondingsto Figure 1 but taken on an angle of su tantially 45 from one side and above;
Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows;
Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 3 looking in the direction of the arrows, the block being shown at its lowest position of adjustment;
Figure 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 2 with the exception that the resilient block is not in place but the clip is in place in the pocket;
Fi ure 6 shows a perspective view of the Figure 6 but illustrating a modified 'form of clip in which supplemental provision is made for initially holding the block in the clips, especially during the assembling operation. I
Referring first to Figures 1 to 5 inclusive, the door jamb therein illustrated includesga wooden stanchion or member 10 which is cut back to provide the longitudinally extending ledge or sill 11. The edge of the door approaches directly towards this sill during the door closing operation. Generally the edge portion of the door is provided with a companion sill so that the door overlies the surfaces 12 and 13 to a certain extent.
Generally, also. the door jamb 10 is sur: faced or protected'with a sheet metal covering 14 which is shaped to conform to the contour of the jambincluding the sill 11,
There is a pocket 15 formed in the stan: chion 10. This pocket is generally cut into the stanchion by a rabbeting operation. The sheet metal'surface 14 is provided with an opening 16 corresponding to this pocket 15;
but usually the opening 16- in the sheet'metal is of slightly smaller size than the pocket itself so as to establish a'sli'ght overlap as shown at 17a in Figures 3 and 4 in particular. This overlap thus forms a flange or edge around the pocket opening proper. Furthermore, it is quite customarv'in the rabbeting operation to leave the lower corners of the opening '15 rounded as evident from examination of Figure 1,
I provide a clip designated'in-its entirety by the numeral 17. This clip is conveniently made of sheet metal. It includes a back portion 18 from which there projects a bottom tongue 19. The back portion 18 is the hole being preferably bevelledas shown in Figure 6 to take the undercut head of the screw and allow said screw to set flush with the face of the back wall 18 as bestshown in Figure 4c.
to set the tongue 19 squarely down against the bottom edge of theopening 16 in the sheet metal facing 14, the vertical elongation 0f the screw hole 20 15 permitting this to be done.
The resilient block is designated in its entirety by the numeral 22. It includes a body portion 23 of generally rectangular form. The upper end of this body portion is suitably shaped to establish a direct contacting surface 24;, the form of which is best evident from Figures 1 and 2. Preferably this portion 24 has its edges rounded down to the parallel sides 25 and 26, which parallel sides are separated a distance from each other equal to the width of the sheet metal opening 16. Such being the case, the resilient block may be seated nicely into the sheet metal opening and will fully occupy the width thereof as is best evident from Figure 2. I
The back face of the rectangular body portion 23 of the resilient block is intended to seat against the back face 18 of the. clip 17.
. Above the position of said clip the resilient block is carried back an additional thickness as shown by the shoulder 27 in Figure 8 in particular so that the back face ofthe upper portion 24 of the resilient block comes square- 0. ly against the portion 12 of the sheet metal 7 silient block against said surface. 45
The thickness of the resilient block is somewhat greater than the width of the shoulder 11 of the door jamb so that the surface 28 of the resilient block protrudes beyond the shoulder 11 and beyond the surface 14 a distance suficient to establish'the required amount of projection of the resilient block towards the face of the door. Preferably, also, this surface 28 is somewhat rounded about an axis parallel to the direction of door movement as best shown in Figure 3.
The projecting surface portion 28 of the resilient block is carried down somewhat below the body portion 23 of said block so as to establish a projecting or overhanging lip 29. This lip reaches below the lower edge of the opening 16 in the jamb and also below the lip 19 of theclip 17. This lip 29 is merely for the purpose of insuring a proper cooperation of the parts when theresilient block'is adjusted in the manner to plaineda be presently ex- The clip 1715 provided with an outwardly reaching lug 30 which lies parallel to the lug 19. This lug 30 has an enlarged and preferably circular head portion as best shown from Figures 3 and 5 and 6, said head portion being of greater width than the neck or shank of said lug. The body portion 23 of the, resilient block 22 has a socket or recess 31 which reaches inwardly from its back face. This socket or recess accommodates the lug 30- of the clip. Furthermore this socket is of sufiicient dimension in the direction of door movement to permit of such an amount of ad-, justment of the block as may be desired. This fact is evident from Figure 4;.
The upper portion of the socket 31 is of substantially the full width of the head of the lug 30 as shown at 32 in Figure 8 in particular.- Consequently the resilient block can be set into place into the clip and on to the lug 30 when said blockis in its initial or unadjusted position. The socket 31 below the position of its enlarged portion 32 is of restricted width as shown at 33 in Figure 8, but the width of this portion is sufiicient to properly accommodate the shank of the lug 30. Therefore, as the position of the resilient block is adjusted, the enlarged head thereof is so engaged by the position of restricted width 33 that the resilient block is held in place on the lug with such an amount of force as would automatically retain it in place thereon. In fact the enlarged head 30 will usually also have enough friction at the upper end of the socket 31 to retain the resilient block on the lug even in that position.
The lug 30 is provided with a hole 34 for the accommodation of a screw 35. The upper portion 24 of the resilient block has an opening 36 in line with the opening 34 so that the'screw canbe inserted through the opening 36 and can also be reached through said opening for adjustment. Said screw passes through another hole 37 in the body 23 of the resilient block and thus it engages the resilient block both above and below the position of the lug 30.
1 In order to support the inner end of the screw there is also provided a small opening 38 in the lug 19 of the clip,and the lower end of the screw is of reduced size as shown at'39 so as to enter said hole 38. At the same time this arrangement establishes a shoulder on thelower end of the screw which shoulder bears against the lug 19 around the hole 38.
Preferably the hole 38 is enlarged parallel to the back face 18 of the clip so that the screw can be more readily inserted therein.
An abutment block 40 is placed between the lug 19 of the clip 17 and the lower face of the body portion 23 of the resilient block. This abutment block 40 is provided with a hole 11 which is threaded to receive the screw E1 abutment block is forced up alon the screw shank and carries with it the resilient block into a. new position of adjustment.
It will now be evident that the resilient block is held in place both by the engagement of the lug 30 of the clip with the socket 31 of the resilient block, and also by engagement of the screw with the resilient block. The lug 30 will serve to hold the resilient block in place on the clip until the screw is inserted through the opening 36 and threaded into place.
When the resilient block is set into any adjusted position it can not be forced down because of the engagement of the lower end of the screw with the clip lug 19. This lug is 55 directly supported by the lower portion of the socket 15 of the door jamb or by the lining 14 on the door jamb as evident from Figures 4 and 5. There is thus provided a solid and effective support to resist shock in the closing of the door.
On the other hand, the frictional engagement will effectively retain the resilient block against movement outwardly away from the abutment thus established. This frictional engagement includes the engagement of the lug 30 with the socket 31, as well as the engagement of the upper portion 24 of the resilient block with the door 'amb and the engagement of the back face the body portion 23 of the resilient block with the clip.
It will now be evident that by allowing the lower portion 29 of the face 28 of the resilient block to somewhat overhang the socket and lug 19, said parts are effectively concealed and protected in all adjusted positions of the resilient block. Due to the fact that the body portion of the resilient block is of the full width of the socket 15, it is unnecessary to have the upper portion 24 of the resilient block overhang the sill 11. In order to insure a better contacting operation of the door with the surface 28 of the resilient block. I prefer to round the side edges 41 and 42 of the face 28 of the resilient block slightly as shown in Figure 3; but it will be observed that the lines of contact of the side faces 26 and 27 of the resilient block with the sides of the socket 15 or the lining 14 are not concealed thereby as is evident from Figure 3 in particular.
In order to assist in centering the resilient block when setting it into place on the clip 17, it may be desirable to provide side lugs 43 and 44 in position to engage the side faces and 26 respectively of the resilient block. These lugs 43 and 44 will help to so position the resilient block during the assembly operation as to line up its holes 36 and 37 with the hole 34 of the clip so that the screw can be more readily set into place.
In case of the provision of the side lugs 43 and 44 just referred to, it may in some cases, as in the modification of Figure 9, be desirable to deflect the edges 45 and 46 of the side lugs 43 and 44 inwardly a slight amount so as to engage the side faces of the resilient block more firmly to hold said block more securely during the assembly operation.
Generally the hole 37 in the body of the resilient block will be made of such size that the screw 35 is a tight fit therein. Such being the case the resilient block and the screw are at all times held in adjusted position with respect to each other.
Examination of Figure 4 in particular will show the presence of a relieve 47 at the upper or outer edge portion of the face 28. This will ease the entering movement of the door against the face 28 and will assist the commencement of the wiping movement of the door alon the face 28.
While have herein shown and described only certain embodiments of the features of my present invention, still I do not intend to limit myself thereto except as I may do so in the claims.
