Abstract: 28,938. Klock,. C. Dec. 16, [Convention date]. [Addition to 28,785/10.] Operating doors by chains and screw-andnut mechanism. - Operating - mechanism for sliding water - tight doors, of the kind described in the parent Specification, wherein the operating - screw engages a nut which is slidably connected with the door, and a spring- controlled locking-device operable locally or from a distance normally holds the door open but when released allows it to fall, the lifting being effected through t h e automatic engagement of spring - controlled devices with the nnt member, is modified so that the devices effecting the locking and lifting actions are controlled by gravity instead of springs, and the arrangement is also applied to counterweighted sliding doors. The operating-screw p, Fig. 2, engages a nut d formed with an extension d<1> of square section slidably engaging a collar m fixed to the door a. The door is locked in its raised position by a projection h<2> on a lever h pivoted to the framing engaging with a projection n on the collar m. The projections n, h<2> are disengaged to release the door by turning the lever h by hand or by rotating the drum on the leyer pivot by chain or like gear or by screwing down the nut until a projection d<2> thereon forces back the lever. After the door has fallen, the screw is operated to bring the nut d against the collar m and force the door home on its seating. To raise the door, the nut is screwed up and a notch f in its sleeve engages a gravity-controlled catch g pivoted in a slot in a lug on the collar, the catch first sliding through the length of the pivot slots and then serving to lift the door until pins h<3> on the lever h disengage the catch, the projection h<2> then re-engaging the collar m. Fig. 5 shows the arrangement applied to a sliding door a adapted when released to close under the action of a sliding counterweight connected by cords s, s<1> to the lugs q, q<1> on the door, and to be opened, if desired, by means of a drum and cords s<2>, s<3> prior to being forced home by the screw-and-nut gear. In this arrangement, the pins on the lever h for releasing the catch g are replaced by a pivoted weight w, which is rocked on its pivot by the catch g prior to the lever h engaging the collar and then swings back, causing a projection x thereon to disengage the catch from the notch f in the nut extension d'.
