The object of the invention is to provide an assembly for. minimizing the noises that result'I when a door is closed, the assembly of the present invention also cushioning the shock of the door as it is closed. I y
Another object of the invention is to provide a doorcheck assembly which will provide a substantially air-tight joint to eliminate the loss of heat from the building, the assembly of the present invention being easily installed.
Another object of the invention is to provide a door check assembly which is extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing forming apart of this application, and in which like numerals are used to designate like parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary front elevational view of a conventional door equipped with the door check of the present invention;
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is an elevational view of the cushion strip;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of the cushion strip broken away and in section to further illustrate the construction thereof;
Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 4, but illustrating a modified form of the cushion strip; and
Figure 7 is a view similar to Figure 4, but showing another modified cushion strip.
Referring in detail to Figures 1 through 5 of the drawings, the numeral Ill designates a door frame, Figure 1, and the door frame I includes vertical portions II and I2, and a horizontal upper section I4. A conventional door I is hingedly connected to the vertical portion II by hinges I6, and the present invention is directed to an assembly for silencing and cushioning the door I5 when the door is closed.
The door check assembly of the present invention includes a cushion strip I1 and a cushion strip IB, the strip I1 being arranged-contiguous to the inner surface of the vertical portion I2, while the strip I8 is arranged contiguous to the lower surface of the horizontal portion I4. Since the strips I8 and I1 have the same construction,

n) Y Y Y only thestrip I'1 will be described in detail, "and this will suffice-for both.
i `"Iheistrip I1 has an outer tapered or inclined ed'ge`f'I9, Figures 2 `and5, so that when the door I5-closes, there willbe a minimum `of surface contact-'between the `door I5V and the beveled or' inclinedl edge I9,.so that there will be a minimumamount of noise when the doorY is closed. Theedge opposite to the beveled edgeV I9 may be providedv with a fancy configuration,` as 20, and the edge 20 mayhave'any desired shape or design.' W
The strip I1 is providedV with a'plurality of pockets or recesses 2I which are arcuate inshape, as best seen in Figures 2 and 5. Seated in each of the recesses 2| is a rubber bumper or cushion 22, and the rubber cushions 22 may be secured in the recesses 2I by any suitable means, as by glue.
The portions of the strip I1 which are in between the cushions 22 are indicated by the numeral 23, Figure 3, and suitable securing elements, such as nails 24, extend through the portions 23 and into the door frame, so as to secure the strip I1 or I8 to the door frame.
It will be seen from Figure 4 of the drawings that the rubber cushion 22 has a rectangular shape on its outer surface, but referring to Figure 6, there is shown a modified strip which is adapted to be used in the same manner as the strip I1. The strip shown in Figure 6 is indicated by the numeral 25, and the strip 25 is provided with a plurality of cylindrical sockets 21, and seated in each of the sockets 21 is a cylindrical cushion or bumper 26 which is fabricated of rubber. In Figure 7 there is shown another modified assembly, wherein the strip is indicated by the numeral 29, and the strip 29 includes a plurality of diamond-shaped cushions or bumpers 28 which are seated in diamond-shaped recesses or sockets 30.
From the foregoing it is apparent that an assembly has been provided which will silence the closing of the door I5 and also cushion the shock of the door as it is closed. The strip I1 or I'includes the beveled edge I9, so that when the door I5 closes, the contact surface between the strip I1 and the door I5 will be at aV minimum, so that there will be no slamming or a minimum of noise. Also, the rubber cushions 22 insure that when the door I5 closes, the strip I1 will be able to move slightly, the cushions 22 acting as a shock absorber, whereby noise and damage to the parts will be minimized. The strips 25 and 29 have substantially the same construction and to a door frame, there being a plurality of recesses' arranged in said strip, a rubber cushion seated in each of said recesses, one side of said strip being beveled and adapted to be engaged by the door, and securing elements extending through said strip for connecting said strip to said door frame,
said cushions engaging the inner surface of the door frame, said securing elements projecting between said cushions into the door frame.
2. In a door check, a strip adapted-to be secured toa door frame, there-being a plurality of recesses arranged .in said strip, a rubber cushion seated in each of "said recesses, one side of Said strip being beveled and adapted Ato be engaged by the door, said cushions being cylindrical in shapey andgsecuring elements extending Vtlrirough said strip forconnecting said strip to said door trame, said cushions engaging the innersurface of the door yframe, said vsecuring elements projecting between said cushions into the door frame.
3. In combination, a doorrframe, a door ningedly connected to said frame, and a door check, said door .check including astrip arranged contiguous to the inner surface of said door frame,
4 said strip having an inclined outer surface adapted to be engaged by the door, there being a plurality of curved recesses arranged in said strip, a rubber cushion seated in each of said recesses and secured to said strip, and securing elements extending through said strip for connecting said strip to said door frame, said cushions engaging the inner surface of the door frame, said securing elements projecting between said cushions into the door frame.
4. A door check comprising a strip adapted to be arranged contiguous to the inner surface of a door frame, said strip having an inclined outer surface. adapted to be engaged by a door, there being a plurality of curved recesses arranged in said strip, a rubber cushion seated in each of said recesses and secured to said strip, and securing elements extending through said strip for connecting said strip to said door frame, said cushions engaging the inner surface of the door frame, said vsecurir1g elements projecting lbetween said cushions into the door frame. s-
