the Slamming of the same
I HENRY WHITELEY of Middle Goat House, Rishworth near Ripponden in the
county of York Joiner do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN WEATHER GUARDS, OR DRAUGHT PREVENTERS FOR DOORS, AND
CASEMENT WINDOWS, ALSO APPLICABLE FOR PREVENTING THE SLAMMING OF THE
SAME to be as follows
"
-
I employ a mould recessed, to hold an inner piece, or weather strip of any
suitable material, on which are two inclines, the weather strip is carried on pins
(near each end of the mould) on which are pins to keep the weather strip up in
position, a rod is attached to the recessed mould, on which are two inclines,
similar to the above described, also a spring to keep the rod in position, the rod
projects from the hinged end of the door impinging a plate on the door cheek
The action is as follows on shatting the door the weather strip is forced downwards,
by means of the depression of the rod and its inclines acting on the inclines on the
weather strip, makes the door comparatively airtight and weather proof, on opening
the door the weather strip is raised to its position by the springs, and can be cut
or scribed to fit any threshold however uneven, the spring and rod act as a buffer
and prevent the slamming of the doors and windows, the mould is secured in any
convenient manner

Figs 3 and 4 are sectional elevations of Figs 1 and 2 shewing the weather strips
up and down.
I employ a mould A recessed to hold an inner piece or weather stup B, of any
suitable material on which are two inclines or levers C, pivotted at D, the weather
strip is carried by pins or connections E, in the slots F of the levers C, the levers
being connected by slot H, and pin J, to the push rod K, near each end of the
mould, at one end of the draw rod is a spring R to keep the weather strip up in
position, the rod end at L is screwed, and an adjustable nipple M, screws on to it,
and projects against the hinged part of the door impinging or coming in contact
with a plate on the door cheek the action is as follows, on shutting the door the
weather strip is forced downwards by means of the depression of the rod end
nipple M, the rod is pushed on and actuating the levers, the weather strip is
pushed down and makes the door comparatively air and weather proof, on opening
the door, the weather strip is raised by the springs on the rod, the weather strip
can be cut or scribed to fit any threshold however uneven, N, N, act as guides or
supports for the rod, and P, P¹, as guides and buffers for the weather strip, the
spring and rod act as buffer, and prevent the slamming of the doors or windows,
the mould is secured in any convenient manner, by screwing the nipple more or
less far, on to the rod, the action of the weather strip is regulated, if screwed
right up, the nipple end is flush with the door edge, and so the weather strip has
no action.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 15 -
1 The general arrangement for vertically operating the weather strip B as
shawn and dashed

page_text: 2 The combination of the levers C, and push rod L, for operating the weather
strip B, as shown and described.
3 The adjustable nipple M, for regulating the amount of action of the weather
strip, as shown and described.
4 The guides or buffers P, P¹, both acting as buffers, for the weather strip B,
and P¹ also as a guide for the rod L, as shewn and described.
