Description

.lttin .gioire @anni @Hime HENRY WATERMAN; or HUDSON, NEW YORK.
Leners Patent N0. 62,383, dated February 2 6, 1867.
IMPROVED WEATHER STRIP.
,To ALL WHOM rr MAY eoNcEnN:
Be it known that I, HENRY' lWATERMAN, of the city of Hudson, county et' Columbia, State of New York, have invented a new and improved mode of constructing what is called a Weather Strip, used for the purpose of making the joints oi' doors and windows air-tight; and I hereby declare that thefollowing. is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction of the same, reference being hfd to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in whichi Figure l represents atransverse section ot'door or window with a strip ot' India rubber inserted in the edges, showing also how it is to be held in its-position.
Figure 2 represents also atransverse section of door or window with a strip of cloth inserted in the edges, showing how it is to be held in its position. l
Figure 3 represents a tide view of the tool to be used inthe construction.
Figure 4 represents ani edge View ot' said tool. 1 y
Figure 5 represents the said tool in the act of forcing down the wire or its equi-,valent for the purpose of holding the strip of rubberor cloth in its place.
To enable others skilled in the arts to make and use my invention, I will proceed Ato describe its construction and operation. y y i In the use of vulcanized India rubber for the purpose of making the joints of doors and windows air-tight, various methods have been devised. One form is to place the strip of rubber in the edge of a strip of wood.
l L" r." i... I 1 i window sash, and makes the joint air-tight. Another forni is to place the strip of rubber in a clamp of meta-l formed like the letter U over one edge about one-half of the strip of rubber, and is for the purpose of' holding it in a groove sawed in the edge of the door or window sash, leaving a portion of the rubber projecting from the edge of the door or sash so as to press against the jarnb or casing and make the joint airwtight. f
My invention is especially designed te be more simple, easily made, and economical than any other form that has come to my knowledge, and is made as follows: In the edges of doors or window-sash I saw or plane a groove, a, iig. t. about one-sixteenth of an inch in width, and about three-eighths of an inch in depth, into which insert a strip of IndiaV rubber, e, about three-quarters of an inch in width. Then with a peculiar tool,
which I will hereafter describe, and is a part of my invention, I force a small wire, b, iig. l, down by the side ofthe strip ofrubber, or within the feld oi'a strip of cloth into the groove; in case of the rubber about halfway down, (and of the cloth about to the bottom, or so far as will leave suflicient edge, of cloth projecting which wire by indentation into the rubber and wood is to hold the rubber more firmly in its place than any other mode that has-come to my knowledge. The aforo-mentioned tool, as it is rolled along, not only forces the wire down to its place, but also draws Vthe rubber evenly so as to entirely prevent wrinkles or packers, and renders it perfeetly straight and smooth. Thus the door or sash will have a strip of India rubber projecting about three-eighths of an inch from its outer edge, 4so that by the ilexibility of the rubber it will press against the jamb of the door or window, and render the joint airtight. In describing the instrument or tool by means of which I fore-e down the` wire into the groove so as to hohl the strip or rubber into its place, I mention first a circular plate of thin steel, ad, iig. 3, and to be held between stock of wood or metal, which also answers for a guide as to depth. Fig. 5, represents this tool with the projecting edge of the steel plate beingitsel'f forced by the hand of the operator down by the side of' the rubber into the groove, itself forcing the wire e down to the position shown by dotted lines.
O'Zaz'm. Y What I claim as my invention, und desire to secure by Letters Patent, is The arrangement and mode of fastening a strip of India rubber or cloth in4 a groove in the edge of a door or window sash, by means of a wire forced down inte the groove by the side of" or within the folds of the rubber strip, so as to hold it firmly in its place, substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinbei'ore set forth.
