Description

Aug. 2s, 195s B. COOPER EVAL DOORS Filed Nov. 8, 1954 u @MLN United States Patent O DOORS Benjamin Cooper, Brooklyn, Milton Klein, Forest Hills,
.and vvNathan Clay, New York, 1N. Y.; said Klein and said Clay assignors to said Cooper Application Novembr'S, v1952i, Serial No. '367,364 's claims. (ci. zof-i's) This invention relates generally to doors and in .particular to Va novel door structure having a resilient guard -disposed around portions of the periphery thereof.
The present invention'appertains to a novel type'v'v'eather door as particularly applied Yto toll boo'ths. Toll 'booths Vare generally constructed of substantially rectangular shape with a sliding `door centrally disposed in at least lone side thereof. The sliding "door is'si'tuated to 'facilitate the collection of tolls by vehicles 'entering the toll booth facilities. When a 'large volume `of vehicles are using the toll facilities it has been found that the sliding door must Vremain open so that Lthe toll collector 'may readily transact the toll collecting operations. During inclement Weather, the toll Icollector is 'subject to the elements, without any protection 'other than the overhead canopy generally associated 1with structures -of this type.
The 'novel doors, hereinafter described in detail, have 'been -found yto otter substantial "protection While permitting the toll collector to readily perform the `toll collection operations. The present invention consists essentially of a pairof arcuate resilieutly hinged -h'alf 'doors conventionally classified as dutch doors. These -arcuate doors are arranged to supplement the conventionally present sliding doorand are disposed externally thereof. r
Accordingly, one of the principal objects Sof the invention resides in the provision of a novel door structure having resilient trim thereon.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of novel means for securing the resilient trim to the door structure.
A further object of the invention resides in the provision of the resilient trim having inherent means co-operable with the attaching means of the door structure.
Other ancillary objects will be, in part, hereinafter pointed out and will be in part, hereinafter apparent.
ln the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a toll booth with the invention applied thereto.
iffure 2 is a fragmentary front elevation of the novel doors.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken along line 3 3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a cross sectional detail of the resilient trim taken along line 4 4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a plan View of the dutch doors as mounted on the Wall of a toll booth.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary front view of a door with the trim omitted to further illustrate the attaching means formed in the door for securing the trim thereon.
Referring to the various figures in detail, 10 generally designates a toll booth having a canopy 12 and a base 14. lt will be understood that the direction of vehicular traic passing the toll booth may be in either direction parallel to the side of the toll booth illustrated in Figure l. The interior of the toll booth contains the toll registering equipment, not shown, and access thereto is through a sliding door generally designated as 16. WindoWs 1S are provided to permit the toll collectors to ob- 2,848,759 Patented. Aug. 26, 1958 2 serve oncoming vehicles. Secured 'to 'the frame of the door 416 are a pair of arcuate dutch doors 20.
Dutch door 20 comprises an 'arcuately formed metallic member 22 having a Vheight substantially one-half of 'the `sliding door 16. The member 22 has aixed thereto a pair of spring loaded hinges 24 adjacent to the Vinner edge thereof to which 'are Vin turn aiiixe'd lto a Vplate '26 which is in turn alnxed to the toll booths proper. Bach dutch door 20 is further formed with a'radiu's in the upper inner corner designated as 28 to facilitate the mounting of a rubber guard designated as 3l). Guard 30 'performs the dual function of acting as a guard Vand also providing a trim that finishes ott the 4ex'pos'ededges of the member 212. The member 22 is preformed with Va plurality 'of oppositely extended integral tongues 32 and Y3:4. As shown in Figure '6, tongues 32 and 3'4 are disposed in ICC aligned relation adjacent 'to the 'outer "and upper marginal edge of member Y22.
As shown in Figure 4, the rubber guard 3i) is Fformed lto provide a pair of opposite'ly disposed recesses 36 and 38 respectively, which are disposed lor'igitudinally thereof. The apex at the intersection of the recesses `32, and 34 is formed to provide `a longitudinal recess 4t) for a purpose hereinafter apparent. `The portion of the :guard 30 diametrically opposed to the recess 4t), is formed With an opening 42 that communicates with the ' respective recesses 30 and 32 and the exterior of the guard 3'0. The opening "42 is provided "to permit the insertion of 'the 'guard 30 over the Aexposed upper and side edges of the arcuate member 22. When assembled, 'the guard member Sii is distorted so that the portion intermediate the recess 36 and the opening 42 may be positioned unfder the related tongues '32. Ina like manner, the portion 4of guard 30 intermediate the opening -a'nd recess 38 is distorted and disposed under 'the Arelated Vtongues It Will 'be noted that the oppositely vextended tongues '32 and 34 are provided with inwardly extending terminal portions 32a and 34arres'pec`tively. vThe 'terminal portions 32a and Sea are provided for 'the purpose 'of compressing the intermediate portions of the guard 30 to effectively retain guard 30 on the member 22. As shown in Figure 4, the exposed upper and side edges of the member 22 then reside in the recess 40 and are effectively covered by the guard 30.
A pair of terminal clamps 46 surround the terminals of each guard 30 and are attached to the members 22 as by rivets 50. It is, therefore, apparent that guard 30 will facilitate the gripping of the doors 20 when it is desired to open said doors and co-act as a shock absorber when the spring hinges 24 automatically return the doors to their normally closed relationship. The resilient composition of guard 30 absorbs the impact shock of the engaging doors and effectively seals the closed doors against Wind, rain, etc. Further, the guard 30 offers a protection against sharp edges of the doors 2t) which is important when considering that the toll collector usually reaches out to receive the toll from the driver of a vehicle and in so doing may lean against the upper edges of said doors. Without the novel guard, the relatively sharp edges of the member 22 could be a hazard and a possible source of injury to the toll collector.
In addition to the novel structure, the doors 20 provide an inexpensive, readily manufactured and eicient structure for it is obvious that the construction of the doors is simplified by use of the unitary body member and novel guard 30.
Thus, it will be seen that there is provided a device in which the several objects of the invention are achieved and which is well adapted to meet the conditions of practical use.
While there has been shown and described a single embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that modifications and changes might be made without departing from the scope of the present invention, except as limited by the following claims:
