DOOR CHECK.

No. 383,809. Patented May 29, 1888.

UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.

FRANK. J. HERRIOK, OF NEW BRITAIN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO WM. EDGAR SIMONDS, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.

DOOR-CHECK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 383,809, dated May 29, 1888.

(No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK. J. HERRIGK, of New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Door-Checks, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, where- Figure 1 is a side View of a door-check embodying my improvement. Fig 1 is a view of the rubber cushion, hereinafter described, in central vertical section. Fig. 2 is a view of the cushion end of the door check with the cushion removed. Fig. 3 is an end view of the cushion end.

This improvement belongs in that class of devices which are used to prevent doors and articles of furniture from striking against walls, pictures, and the like. of this improvement is the production of a door check having some squared surface,or the like, to which some sort of wrench may be applied, whereby to screw the door-check home to its seat in the base-board, the rubber cushion being meanwhile absent, after which the rubber cushion is put in place, and when thus put in place it covers the aforesaid squared surface from sight. This kind of attachment between the rubber cushion and the body of the door-check I denominate in the claim at the end of this specification as removable.

The letter a denotes a pillar or standard, which I intend to have cast of some cheap metal.

The point and essence The letter 7) denotes a screw for attaching the door-check to a base-board, or the like, which screw I intend to have permanently joined to the pillar or standard in the process of casting.

The letter cdenotes a rubber cushion against which it is intended to have the door or article of furniture strike.

The letter d denotes the button at the outer end of the standard or pillar on which the rubber cushion or buffer is to be attached. Two sides of the button are slabbed off, as best seen in Fig. 3, to the end that the wrench may be fitted thereon and used to drive the screw home, after which the rubber cushion is slipped upon the button, where it will rest securely, and the slab-sided screw will be hid from sight by the rubber cushion. This slabsided cushion I call a wrench-grip, because it affords a means by which the wrench may grip the door-check and drive the screw home.

I claim as my invention The pillar a, bearing the screw b at its base and also bearing the Wrench-grip d, in combination with the removable yielding cushion c, all substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

FRANK. J. HERRIOK.
