used in garages and the like, with particular reference to such doors as are generally known'in the art as overhead doors.
More particularly-the invention has reference to an improved hanger, mounting or suspension means for doors of the character mentioned; it-
of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view through the front portion of a garage having adoorequipped with a hanger or suspension means embodying the features of the present invention. Figure 2 is "a horizontal section taken substantially on the line 2-2'of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an elevatlonal view of a rotating casting forming part of the invention.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a stud-equipped mounting plate forming part of the invention.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 5-5 of Figure 3, and
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the aforementioned casting.
Referring more in detail to the drawings it will be seen that secured to the inner face of each side wall 5 of a garage or like building, indicated generally by the reference numeral 6, 'is a mounting plate I; the same being shown as provided with apertured ears 8 for accommodating bolts or other fastening elements through the medium of which said plate is secured to its associated side wall 5.
-The plate I is providedin the center thereof with a stud 9 about which is rotatable a casting indicated generally by the reference numeral 18.
The casting I embodies a-webor. body plate H provided with a hub l2 that receives the stud 9 and is rotatably retained on the stud between the plate land a cotter pin or other suitable retaining element- 13.
The casting i8 is also formed to provide a pair of integral sleeves I4 and 'l5.,that are relatively arranged substantially in the form of a V as shown.
The sleeves i4 and arms I8 and ii, respectively, hanger arm l8 having an angularly disposed end portion I8 that is bolted or otherwise secured as at i8 to the inner face of the door 4 of the garage or similar building 8 adjacent the upper edge of the door,
l accommodate hanger v (Cl. 16-129) This invention relates broadly to doors such as while arm IT has an angularly disposed end 20 that is ,bolted or otherwise secured as at 2| to the inner face of the door 4 slightly upwardly from the-bottom edge thereof,
The free ends of the arms l6 and ii are accom- 5 modated by the sleeves l4 and I5, which latter are provided with set screws 22 for bearing en- I gagement with the arms l6, H, to hold the arms relatively rigid with respect tothe sleeves l4 and i5. Said sleeves i4 and I! are flared outwardly and laterally toward the ends thereof from the transverse centers of the sleeves, as best shown in Figure 5, so as to allow for adjustment of the arms l8 and i1 laterally therein to extend obliquely therefrom at different angles. The sleeves l4 and I5 are also provided with pairs of set screws 23 for securing the sleeves l4 and ii in proper adjustment with respect to the arms i6 and I1, and as might be required because of various offsets and for centering the door 4 .in the opening or doorway of the garage or similar building.
Also secured to the inner face of each side wall 5 of the garage or building is an anchor plate 24 provided at one end with a hook 25 with which 25 is engaged one end of a coil spring 26. Coil spring 28 has the other end thereof suitably connected with a length of chain'or other flexibleelement 21, and which chain, in turn, is secured to an adjusting sleeve 28 embracing an arm l8, and equipped with a set screw 28 through the medium of which the sleeve 28 may be secured vat I the desired position of adjustment on the hanger arm l8.
' Obviously the sprmgs 26 act as counter-balanc- I ers for the door. and the tension on the springs may be adjusted as found desirableby proper adjustment of the sleeves 28 on the arms l8. Thus it will be apparent that the springs will tend to balance the door in any position and that the 40 door'may be raised or lowered with little or no effort.
From the above it will also be readily apparent that the door 4 is mountedfor vertical swinging movement about the axes of the studs 9 for swinging from the vertical operative position shown by full lines in Figure 1 to the raised horl-* zontal open position suggested by'broken lines in said Figure 1, or vice versa. It will also be understood that' while the door 60.
may be operated by hand it might also be operated mechanically or automatically by proper adjustment of the tension of springs 28.
It is also to be understood that while I have herein illustrated and described a preferredemfl A hanger for an overhead opening garage door,
said hanger including a mounting plate having an integral laterally projected horizontal stud, a casting rotatably mounted on said plate and embodying a hub accommodating said stud and a pair of integral angularly related sleeves upon opposite sides of said hub, respectively, hanger arms having end portions trained through said sleeves, said sleeves being provided with set screws for securing said hanger arms and sleeves against 5 relative rotation, and said sleeves from the transverse centers thereof flaring outwardly and laterally toward the ends of the same to provide for securing said arms therein'to extend obliquely of the plate at different angles relative to said 10 plate.
