WEATH ER-STRI'P.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,089, dated May 20, 1884.

Application filed September 22, 1883.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PERRY E. REYNOLDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at King City, in the county of Gentry and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful WVeather- Strip, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a Weatherstrip for the lower portion of the door which will shed the water from the outside and permit the escape of any water driven inside of the door, as more fully hereinafter specified. These objects I attain by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a front view of a door, showing my weather-strip in position; and Fig. 2 represents a cross-section of the door, sill, and weather-strip. Fig. 3 is a cross-section between the apertures E. Fig. 4 is a reverse view of the sill and Fig. 5 is a similar view, with the parts raised to show their relative location.

The letter A indicates the door-sill, and B the weather-strip, which is located within the doorway, as shown. The said weather-strip is provided with alongitudinal groove, 0, and an inclined water-shed, D, in front. From the groove extend a series of apertures, E, which connect with the channels F in the under side of the weather-strip, to conduct any water driven inside of the door down to the outside,

where it escapes. The inner edge of the weather-strip is beveled, as usual, as indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings. G indicates a metallic strip, upon which the door closes. The

channel F is located in a recess, II, in which 5 and do not wish to be understood as broadly 45 claiming anything shown therein.

Having thus described. my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, in a weather-strip, of the 50 sill B, having longitudinal groove O, provided with apertures E and channels F, located in wedge-shaped recesses H, in which are secured the plat-es I and wedgeshaped blocks K, as shown and described.
