DOOR-CASING FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 648,747, dated May 1, 1900.

Application filed October 14, 1899 To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, Jam I-IENRIoKIBsEN,

of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Door-Casing Fastening, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in fastenings for the casings of doors or the like in buildings; and the object is to provide a simple means whereby the casing may be quickly and easily secured in position without the use of nails or similar devices and without danger of breaking the wall-plaster adjacent to the grounds, as often happens when casings are put upin the usual manner, and thus requiring patching of the wall.

I will describe a door-casing fastening embodying my'invention and. then point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which the figure of the drawing is a horizontal section of a portion of a door and casing, showing a fastening embodying my invention applied.

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates a stud, 2 the grounds, and 3 the plaster. The casing-strips 4 5 are secured to the jamb, here shown as consisting of two sections 6 7, the section 6 being secured to the strip 4 and the section 7 being secured to the strip 5. When the casing is completely in position, dowels 8 at suitable intervals are engaged with the. sections 6 and 7 of the jamb.

Secured in the casing-strips 4 and 5 at the inner side and near the rear edge are screweyes 9 10, and looped through opposite screweyes is a fastening-wire 11. It will be noted that the screw-eyes pass into openings 12, formed in the grounds, and .that the doubled said openings and through diagonally-disposed openings 13, formed in the stud 1. The

between said stud and the jamb. The twistsuitable tool through the space between the amb-sections. This twisting of the wires will of course draw the casing-strips 4 and 5' draw the jamb-sections onto the dowels. After securing the casing in position, as above noted, a stop-strip 14 may be secured in place,

covering the space between the j amb-sections.

With this means of fastening a door-casing are put up and secured by means of nails or Further, the fastening devices are screws. wholly hidden from outside view. I

While lhave shown and described my invention as applied to adoor-casing, it is to be understood that it equally applies to Window,

transom,'and like casings.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to'secure by Letters Patent- 1. As a means for fastening a casing, metal strips extended from the casing-strips'to the inner side of the casing-stud and having their ends secured together, substantially as specified.

2. A casing-fastening, comprising wires attached to the casing-strips, the said wires being passed through openings in a stud and having their ends twisted together, substantially as specified. i V

3. A fastening for a door or similar casing, comprising eyes attached to the inner sides of the casing-strips near their rear edges, and wires looped through said eyes, the said looped wires, being passed through openings formed A door-casing, comprising the casingstrips, a jamb consisting of two sections,'one section being secured to each casing-strip, dowel connections between the twojamb-sections, anda fastening consisting of wires at.-

. tached to the casing-strips at the inner side,

the two wires being twisted together at the ends, substantially as specified.

-5. As a means for securiuga door-casing or the like, in position, wires connected to the casing-strips at theinner side and extended through diagonally-disposed openings in the grounds and stud, the two wires having their ends twisted together at the inner side of the stud, substantially as specified.
