Definitions

  • My invention relates to door retainers of the character commonly known in the trade as dovetailsi Such retainers are employed for holding doors when the latter are in closed position and are especially adapted for use in connection with the doors of automobiles or other like structures to prevent vibration of the doors to thereby eliminate rattling or other annoying sounds.
  • a door retainer be provided having means which operates, after a door has been closed and'en'gaged by a catch such as is usually employed for holding the same in closed position, to hold the said door firmly and rigidly against vertical movements with respect to the relatively stationary frame of a door opening.
  • a door retainer having yielding means for engaging a projection or tongue carried either upon the outer swinging edge of a door orupon a member of the door frame which; after the door is completely closed and engaged by the usual catch for holding the same in closed position, is rigid and is unyielding or practically so in vertical directions away "from the projection or tongue which is engaged therewith.
  • .It also is anobject of the invention to provide a door retainer adapted for use upon automobiles and other like structures for holding the doors thereof after they have been moved into closed position rigidly against vibratory movements relatively to the door frame and which also acts upon release of the catchby which the door is held in closed position to cause opening movement of the door.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a door retainer comprising pivoted and s'lidable' members located upon the opposite sides of a recess or socket for receiving a tongue or projection, the said pivoted and slidable members being so correlated and so co-acti'ng as to support the projection or tongue rigidly to thereby prevent vibration of a door such as that of an automobile or other like structure relatively to the door frame.
  • Fig. 1 is a view showing in elevation a door retainer embodying the invention and also showing a portion of one side of the door frame and in dash and dot lines a portion ofthe outer edge-of a door having thereon a projection or tongue which is adapted to engage the retainer;
  • Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;'
  • Fig. 3 is a horizontal transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the retainer taken in a plane extending in approximately right angular relation to that in which Fig. 2 is taken.
  • FIG. 1 a portion of one of the side members of the frame of a door opening suchas that provided in the bodyof an automobile.
  • a portion of the door for closing! the door opening is indicated by dash and dot lines at 2, the outer swinging edge only being shown.
  • a plate 3 fastened to the edge of the door is provided with a tongue or projection 4 which is adapted to engage the movable bearing members 5 and 6 of the retainer.
  • the upper side of the tongue or projection 4 is inclined downwardly as indicated at 7, while the lower side thereof is located in a plane which is substantially at right angles to the door proper, as indicated at 8.
  • rear edge portion ofthe lower side is rounded as known manner.
  • the retainer comprises a casing preferably of sheet metal which is mounted within a recess or opening 16 provided in the inner side of the side member 1 of the door frame.
  • the opposite end walls 17 and 18 of the casing are provided at their outer edges with projections 19 to which a cover plate 20 is secured by spot welding or otherwise as may be preferred.
  • the cover plate 20 has at its front edge a flange 21 the edge of which terminates in a forwardly extending flange 22 which is seated in a depression formed in the member 1 as shown in Fig. 3. with the cover plate 20 is secured to the member 1 of the door frame by means of screws 23 in vzontal center line of the said casing.
  • the front end of the bearing member 5 normally (that is, when not engaged by the projection 4) is held against the inner side of the flange 21 of the top cover plate 20 by the action of a coiled spring 24.'
  • Said spring is located in the rear portion of the casingwith one end thereof seated against the rear wall thereof, while the other end thereof extends into and is seated against the bottom of an opening 25 provided in the rear end of the said bearing member 5.
  • a wick 26 of suitable compressible elastic material which is saturated with a lubricant.
  • the pivoted or rocking bearing member 6 which is located in the casing 15 in opposed relation to the bearing member or block 5.
  • the pivoted or rocking member 6 is provided in adjoining relation to its front end with an outwardly extending projection 30. which is in contact at all times with the inner side of the end wall 18 of the casing 15 in adjoining relation to the front end thereof.
  • the end of the pivoted member 6 extends a short distance beyond the projection 30 to thereby provide a shoulder 31 which is seated against the adjoining edge of an opening 32 through the flange 21 of the top plate 20.
  • the said top plate is also provided with an opening 33 which in effect is a part of the opening 32.
  • the purpose of the openings 32 and 33 is to permit the entry of the projection or tongue 4 into the casing 15 between the members 5 and 6.
  • the inner surface of the front portion of the pivoted member 5 is angularly related to the inner surface of the rear portion thereof as shown in the drawing. Normally (that is, when not engaged by the projection 4), the inner side of the rear portion of the pivoted member 6 is The casing together
  • the bearing member 5 is may-- held by a spring 35 against the inner side of the rear portion of the bearing member or block 5. This relationship is shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing.
  • the outer end of the spring 35 is seated against the inner side of the end wall 18 of the casing 15 while its opposite or inner end is seated against the bottom of an opening 36 provided in the outer side of the rear end portion of the said pivoted or rocking member 6.
  • a. wick 38 of suitable compressible elastic material which in practice should be saturated with a suitable lubricant.
  • the coiled spring 35 should be of such dimensions that the adjoining coils thereof will be in contact with each other so that in either case the rear end portion of the pivoted bearing member '6 is held positively against outward movement after the door has been closed.
  • a door retainer comprising a slidable bearing member which is unyieldingly held against outward movement and a pivoted bearing member which is yieldable outwardly upon the, entering movement of the tongue or projection 4 into position between the said bearing members, but which, when the door has reached a closed position, is held against further outward movement.
  • the door is held positively against relative vibratory movements in a vertical plane.
  • both of the bearing members tend to cause disengagement of the projection or tongue 4 thereby tending to cause opening movement of the door which becomes eflective when the catch employed for holding the same in closed position is released.
  • a door retainer comprising a casing, having an opening in one longitudinal edge to receive a co-operating tongue, a bearing member slidably mounted for movement therein in the direction of movement of the tongue, and a second bearing member pivotally supported at its outer end in the said casing for movement of its inner end substantially transversely of the direction of movement of the said slidable bearing member and the tongue.
