DOOR-HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 678,610, dated July 16, 1901.
Application filed December 24, 1900. Serial No. 40,873. (No model.)
T at whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, EDSON G.WORDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Scranton, in the county of Lackawanna, State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in DoonHangers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improved form of door-hanger for sliding doors, which may be easily taken apart and put together and which is easily adjustable and inexpensive to construct.
In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved hanger, the supportingstrap being partly broken away. Fig. 2 is an end view of the hanger. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the blank from which the support is constructed. Fig. 4: is a perspective View of the clamp for securing the strap to the support and of the adjusting-screw, collar, and latch; and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a part of the support.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a sheet-metal blank, Fig. 3,from which the sup port adapted to be attached to the top of a door is formed. As shown, the blank is triangular in general outline, the sides 1 and 2 of the blank being straight and having notches 3 cut therein, and the apex between said sides is out 01f, as shown at 14. The edge 5 of the blank on either side of the central dotted line B is symmetrically notched and cut, as shown. Tongues 6 and 7 are also punched out from the blank, said tongues extending parallel with the inclined faces 8 and 9, respectively. In shaping the support the blank is doubled upon itself along the central dotted line B, and the sides 1 and 2 are bent outwardly at right angles to the body of the blank along the dotted lines 0 and D, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 5, said outwardly bent or flanged portions forming a base by means of which the support may be attached to the door by screws inserted through the notches 3. When the blank is thus bent into shape, as the opposite sides of the edge 5 correspond in outline, a side view of the upright end of the support will appear, as shown in Fig. 5. As illustrated in said figure, upwardly-inclined notches 10 and 11 are formed in the end of the blank, and between said notches the blank is cutaway at a right angle, leaving an inclined guide-face 12 and a shoulder 13 above said face. A downwardly-projecting tongue 14 is formed by the upper notch 10, and a projection 15 is left below the notch 11.
The supporting-strap H, carried by the wheel E, which runs upon the track F, has its lower portion h inclined and bent upon itself to form a hook, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. A tongue 16, struck out from the vertical portion of the strap, forms a guard which proj ects under the track and prevents the roller from being derailed by a vertical movement of the door. The hooked end of the strap is adapted to fit around the end of the support, as shown, the bend in the strap resting against the inclined guiding-face 12, and the lower edges of the inclined portion on either side of the support resting against the guid ing projections 6 and 7. The inclined hook is held in position by a removable clamp G, which, as shown in Figs. 1 and l, consists of a metal strip, the upper portion 17 of which is bent at right angles to the lower portion 18, and the lower end 19 is turned upwardly at right angles to the part 18. The upper end 20 is provided with laterally and inwardly projecting flanges 21. When the clamp is arranged with the ends 19 and 20 fitting into the notches 10 and 11, respectively, as shown in Fig. 1, the flanges 21 will extend over the sides of the hook, as shown in said figure, and the portion 17 of the clamp will fit against and form a guide for the upper inclined edges of the hook. The clamp is locked in position by means of a latch 22, which is pivoted upon the adj HSlilllg-SGIGW 23 and adapted to swing into the recess formed between the part 18 of the clamp and the projection 15. The setscrew 23 extends through the perforation 24 in the latch, perforation 25 in the clamp, and into a screw-threaded opening 26 in the bend of the hook. The collar 27 is secured to the adj usting-screw between the clamp and the hook.
It will be seen that when the clamp is secured within the notches by the latch the hooked end of the strap will be held in sliding engagement with the guiding portions of the clamp and the support and that by turning the latch out of the recess and raising the support the latter may be disengaged from the strap. By turning the adjusting-screw when the parts are locked in position it will be evident that the support may be raised or lowered, according to the direction in which the screw is turned, the guideways moving along the inclined hook. In this manner the door to which the support is secured may be raised or lowered. The end of the adj ustingscrew preferably rests against the shoulder 13, although this is not essential.
Instead of locking the clamp in place by means of the latch I may use other means for this purpose, such as astrong spring arranged to bear upwardly against the part 18. The support may be made of cast or wrought metal; but I prefer to make it from stamped sheet metal in the manner set forth, and the lower inclined portion of the strap may be made in the form of a complete loop instead of a hook.
It is evident that the upper end of the clamp may be secured against lateral displacement by means other than the flanges 21; but the flanges extending over the sides of the strap are preferred for simplicity and good mechanical construction.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. In a door-hanger the combination with a supporting-strap having an inclined hook portion at its lower end and a supportingpiece having an inclined face forming a guidefor one inclined edge of said strap, and upwardly-inclined notches above and below said face, of a removable clamp having its opposite ends fitting into said notches, the upper portion of said clamp forming a guide for the opposite inclined edge of the strap, and the lower portion extending across the end of the strap, and means for adjusting said strap longitudinally between said guideways, for the purpose set forth.

In a door-hanger the combination with a supporting-strap having an inclined hook at its lower end and a supporting-piece having at one end an .inclined face forming a guide for one edge of the hook and upwardly-inclined notches above and below said face, of a removable clamp having its opposite ends fitting into said notches, .the upper portion of said clamp extending parallel with the hook and forming a guide therefor and the lower portion extending across the end of the hook, an adjusting-screw extending through an opening in the clamp and into a threaded opening in the lower end of the hook, and a latch pivoted to the clamp and adapted to fit between the lower portion of the clamp and the support to lock the clamp in position within the notches.
7. In a door-hanger the combination with a supporting-strap having an inclined hook at its lower end and a supporting-piece having at one end an inclined face forming a guide for one edge of the hook, a shoulder above said guide, and upwardly-inclined notches above and below said guide, of a removable clamp having its opposite ends fitting into the screw abutting against said shoulder; and 1 means for looking said clamp in position within the notches. 16
In testimony whereof I affix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.
