The invention comprises a door attaching apparatus for positioning and aligning a door for attachment to a doorway. The apparatus has a mobile frame adapted to be moved upon a surface. The mobile frame has a first frame. The first frame is movably mounted to the mobile frame to move upward and downward and forward and rearward relative to the mobile frame with a door mounted thereon. A second frame is pivotably mounted to the mobile frame behind the first frame and is handle operated to move forward and rearward on the mobile frame and to engage the first frame to cause the first frame and door thereon to move forward and rearward with the second frame to align the door in a doorway in one direction for attachment of the door to the doorways. A handle operated cam mechanism is mounted between the first and second frames to cam the first frame and thereby the door upward and downward on the mobile frame align the door in another direction for its attachment to the doorway . A ground engaging mechanism is mounted to the mobile frame to engage the ground to provide additional support for the apparatus.
A door attaching apparatus comprising a mobile main frame adapted to be moved upon a surface, a first upward extending frame for supporting door thereon, said first upward extending frame lying a lower edge movably mounted to the main mobile frame at the forward portions of the main mobile frame to move upward and downward and forward and rearward relative to said mobile frame, a second upward extending frame having a lower edge pivotably mounted to the main mobile frame behind the first frame to move forward and rearward relative to said mobile frame, a guideway mechanism having two cooperating channels slidably connected together with one of said channels pivotally mounted to the first frame and the other channel attached to the second frame whereby the first frame may slide upward by its channel sliding upward in the second channel relative to the second frame and mobile frame,
A door attaching apparatus comprising a mobile frame having a first upward and second upward positioned frame each movably mounted on said mobile frame with said first frame forward of said second frame;
A door attaching apparatus comprising a mobile frame, first upward and second upward frame positioned on said mobile frame, said first frame being movably mounted relative to said mobile frame upward and downward and forward and rearward, said second frame being movably mounted to said mobile frame to move forward and rearward, guideway means connecting said first and second frames in upward and downward sliding relation with means to raise and lower said first frame relative to said second frame and mobile frame on said guideway, said first frame having means to support and grasp a door thereon, means to move said first frame upward and downward relative to said second frame and mobile frame, lever rods means to lever said second frame forward and rearward, whereby a door may be placed and grasped on said first frame and moved on the mobile frame to doorway and said second frame upon being levered forward to lever said first frame forward to place the door a proper upright position in the doorway and means to raise the first frame may be operated to raise the first frame and the door thereon to a proper height in the doorway for attachment of the door to the doorway, while in said upright position in the doorway.
A door attaching apparatus comprising a mobile frame adapted to be rolled along a surface, a upward extending first frame having lateral sides and a bottom and top, a flange along the bottom to receive a door along its bottom edge, lateral telescoping rods intermediate the height of the first frame and spring urged to telescope laterally toward one another, said rod having hooked outer ends to grasp a door along its lateral edges when the door bottom edge rests upon the bottom flange of the first frame, elevating mechanism on the mobile frame for the first frame centrally between the lateral sides of the first frame to raise and lower the first frame relative to the surface to place the door at a proper height for installation of the door in a doorway, adjustment means connecting the first frame to the mobile frame to rotate the first frame in the plane of the first frame and door thereon to adjust the angular relation of the door to the doorway, forward and rearward adjustment means on the mobile frame to adjust the frame and door thereon in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the first frame.

This invention relates to door attaching apparatus, more particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus for supporting and aligning a door in a doorway for attachment of the door to the doorway.
It is an object of the invention to provide a novel door supporting and aligning apparatus for supporting and aligning a door in a doorway for attachment of the door to the doorway. It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel door attaching apparatus for moving a door to a doorway and aligning the door in the door angularly in several directions and adjusting the door to an appropriate height for attachment of the door to the doorway.
It is another object of the invention to provide a novel door attaching apparatus for supporting a door in a doorway vertically and angularly while supporting the door in the doorways for attachment of the door to the doorway.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the door attaching apparatus.
FIG. 2 is s side elevational view of the door attaching apparatus with door attaching frame pivoted rearward in solid lines to illustrate its position, prior to the loading of a door onto the frame. The door frame is pivoted forward and the floor supporting frame moved forward and downward by the forward lever as shown in phantom lines in the first forward position. The door frame is shown slid upward in phantom lines in the second forward position by the raising lever.
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the door attaching apparatus with the door frame pivoted forward and the floor support plate shown moved forward and downward by the forward lever as shown in solid lines. The door frame is shown further slid upward with a door attached to the door frame by the raising lever in phantom lines.
Briefly stated, the invention comprises a apparatus for positioning and aligning a door in a doorways its attachment to the doorway. The apparatus comprises a mobile frame with a first frame movably mounted on the mobile frame to move forward and rearward and upward and downward relative to the mobile frame with a door mounted thereon. A second frame is mounted on the mobile frame behind the first frame and is handle operated to move forward and rearward and cause the first frame to move forward and rearward with the door thereon to align the door in one direction in doorway for its attachment to the doorway. A handle operated cam mechanism is mounted between the first and second frames to cam the first frame upward and downward relative to the second frame and mobile frame to align the door in another direction for its attachment to the doorway. A ground engaging mechanism is mounted to the mobile frame and operated by the handle of the second frame to engage the surface beneath the apparatus to further stabilize the apparatus.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, in FIGS. 1-4, inclusive, the door attaching device 20 is illustrated having a mobile frame 21, with a door supporting first frame 22 movably mounted thereon for carrying a door 24 thereon. A second frame 23 is mounted behind the first frame 22, on the main frame.
The first frame 22 is generally rectangular with a pair of parallel upward extending rods 22′ and 22″ and are fixed together at their upper ends by a handle 51 extending horizontally across the rods. A ledge 26 is fixed across the bottom of the rods for receiving the bottom edge 24′ of the door 24. The second frame 23 is formed of a pair of rods 31 and 31′ converging toward one another at their upper ends to form an inverted V shape. Its lower ends are pivotally mounted to the main frame.
