DOOR-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 596,1 18, dated December 28, 1897.
' Application filed February 8, 1897. Serial No. 621,779, (No model.)
T0 a/ZZ whom it may concern: l
Be it known that I, FRED C. LoUNsBURY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Plaineld, in the county of Union and State of p New Jersey, have invented an Improvement in Door-Fastenings, of whichvthe following is a specification.
The object of the present invention is to hold a door at any desired point to which it may be swung open, and to effect this without injury to the floor or carpet at the place where the fastening device is brought into action. With this object in view a wedgebolt is made use of adapted to be laid upon the floor beneath the lower edge of the door, so as to block and hold such door and prevent the same moving in either one direction or the other, and when not in use this wedgebolt is received by and held within a case or slide upon the door.
In the drawings, Figure l is a side view, partially in section, representing the wedge- Fig. 2 shows the same parts with the wedge-bolt within the casing. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the'case and wedge-bolt, and Fig. 4
is a -rear view of the wedge-bolt and springbrace.
A portion of the door is shownA at A, and of the floor at B, and upon the door a case C is secured near the lower and outer edge, and this case is made with vertical slideways 2.
The wedge-bolt D ismade witha head 3 and with an inclined surface 4 and with a back bar 5, there being a slot between the back bar and the lface of the wedge-bolt, and it is advantageous to make the end of the head 3 in line with the inclined surface 4 of' the wedge, so that the head of the boltmay rest upon the floor at the same time as theinclined surface 4, as shown in Fig. 1,'and in this position the door can be swung open and pressed upon the wedge-bolt, so that the wedge-bolt holds the door in the position to which it may be moved, and to protect the lower edge of the door from injury by contact with the wedge-bolt it is desirable to make a flange 6 at the back and lower end of the case O to set against the under edge ofl the door and take a larger bearing on the wedge-bolt.
The spring-link E is made double, with the adapted to set closely against the sides of the back bar 5, and the eXtreme ends 7 of the spring-link are turned out and pass into the slideways 2 of the case, and the parts are sprung into place, so that the ends 7 have sufficient friction in the slideways' 2 to hold the spring-link E in anyv position to which it may be' moved. Hence the link E can be used as a brace between the wedge-bolt and the door, as shown in Fig. l, or when the wedge-bolt is lifted the back bar 5 thereof may be sprung in between the two parts of the spring-link E, and the ends 7 of the springlink move upward in the slideways 2 until' the wedge-bolt can be swung down into the case C, with the lower end ofthe spring-bolt entirely above the floor, and in this position the parts can remain when out of use; or there may be a loop F upon the case C, into which the lower end of the wedge-bolt D may be'inserted.
If desired, a hole or mortise may be provided in the door-sill or in the iioor, into which the lower end of the wedge-bolt D may be inserted for holding the door positively when it is shut.
The lower end of the case should be beveled on the same angle as the wedge-bolt, so that the parts can set against each other iirmly when the wedge-bolt is below the case and door. The wedge-surface 4 and head 3 may be covered with felt.
By pushing against the small end of the wedge-bolt by the foot the bolt can be vslid along on the floor in one direction, and the link E will draw it along the other way when the door is moved.
I claim as my inventiony l. The combination with a wedge-bolt, of a case adapted to be fastened to the surface of a door and a link connected at one end with the wedge-bolt and sliding at the other end in ways in the case for allowing the bolt to be laid upon the floor to act as a wedge for holding the door, substantially as set forth.
2. The case C having slideways 2 and the flange 6 at the lower end passing under the door, in combination with a wedge-bolt and IOO.
a spring-link extending from the wedge-bolt to the ease, substantially as set forth.
3. A wedge-bolt having' zt back bar and zt slot between the body of the bolt and the hack bar, in combination with t spring-link passing through the slot and terminating as outward-projeotng ends, at ease having slide- Ways receiving the ends of the spring-link :ind adapted to be fastened to the surface of a door, substantially as set forth.
Ll. The Wedge-bolt having an inclined surface fl and head and a back bar 5 with t .when not in use, substantially as set forth.
Signed by me this 15th day of December, 1896.
