COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Draught Excluders for Doors, Windows, and
the like.
We,
WALTER THOMAS HALL of 54, South Island Place, Stockwell, Salesman
and WILLIAM JOSEPH BAYLISS of 5, Great Quebec Street, Marylebone, London,
Builder's Clerk, 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 relates to an improved draught excluder, and is intended to provide
a very simple aud inexpensive form which can be easily applied.
In carrying out my invention I employ a length of chenille, which is formed of a
plush like pile round a central wire or wires, the pile being usually engaged between
two twisted wires. This chenille is enclosed in a tube of cloth, baize or other
suitable material preferably stitched round it. The complete article is then fixed
in the rebate or angle of the door frame, either by an adhesive material, or by
small tacks.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Figs. 1 and 2 show the draught excluder fixed in place,
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a length of the article with a portion of the chenille
projecting, and
Fig. 4 is a cross section.
A is the chenille formed in the manner above described enclosed in the tube which
is of baize or other material formed by bending a strip round the chenille and
stitching it at the side as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The draught excluder is fixed in
the rebate of the door, so that the edge of the latter will press against it when
closed. As used for windows, it is fixed in a corresponding position pressing against
the edge of the sash.

page_text: The side b at which the tube B is stitched may be extended to form a flange for
greater convenience in fixing. This is especially useful if the draught excluder is
to be fixed by tacks. The excluder may also be fixed to a small bead which is fitted
in place on the door frame or window.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is.―
(1.) An improved draught excluder for windows, doors and the like, formed from
a length of chenille enclosed in a tube of baize, cloth or the like material, and fixed
in the rebate of the door frame, or corresponding part of the window, substantially
as and for the purposes specified.
(2.) The improved draught excluder for windows, doors and the like, made and
fitted substantially in the manner described and shown in the accompanying drawings,
and for the purposes specified.
