Improvements in Weather Bars or Draught Excluders. for the
Bottom of Doors.

ARTHUR HERBERT WILLIAMS 46 Curtain Road Shoreditch London EC.
Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to the improvements in the weather, barior draft
excluder formerly known as Greenwoods 8172.1884 patent door slide. The Baid
Greenwoods patent door slide, could only be used for a door opening on the side
for which the said article was made. I claim that by transforing 2 screws and
moving the projecting bar the improved article is at once rendered suitable for a
door hinged on either side.
To enable the following description being better understood I have appended
drawings marked A and B.
In carrying out my invention (Drawing A) the spring A lies in a groove, in
which it can be moved either to the right or left at an angle of 90 degrees, thus
when the screws at the points B are removed, the bar being moved, until it
projects an equal distance at the opposite end to that at which it previously
projected the plates D being turned until the holes at B are over the second
holes at E, the screws being then inserted in these holes the article is reversed in
band.
In the old form (Drawing B) it will be seen that the spring A is in a plain
groove and can only be moved in the one direction, the plates D can only be moved
in the one direction therefore this pattern can only be used for a door hung on the
side towards which the bar C projects.
Dated this 10th day of October 1894.

Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention has reference to the improvements in the weather bar or draught
excluder forinerly known as Greenwoods patent door slide No. 8172, 1884.
The said Greenwoods patent door slide could only be used for a door opening
on the side for which the said article was made. I claim that by transfering
2 screws and moving the projecting bar, the improved article is at once rendered
suitable for a door hinged on either side.
To enable the following description being better understood, I here refer to
drawings appended to Provisional Specification.
In carrying out my invention (Drawing A) the spring A lies in a groove in
which it can be moved either to the right or left at an angle of 90 degrees, thus

page_text: when the screws at the points "B" are removed, the bar "C" being moved until
it projects an equal distance at the opposite end to that at which it previously
projected, the plates "D" being turned until the holes at "R" are over the second
holes at "E" the screws being then inserted in those holes, the article is reversed
in hand.
f
In the old form (Drawing B) it will be seen that the spring "A" is in a plain
groove and can only be moved in the one direction, the plates D can only be
moved in one direction, therefore this pattern can be used only for a door hung on
the side towards which the bar' projects.
:
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is
1.' Improvements in weather bars or draught excluders for the bottom of doors,
substantially as set forth in description and Drawing A.
