Door closer assembly

A door closer assembly for connection between door and frame members relatively movable between open and closed positions, said assembly comprising:

• a housing member defining a longitudinally extending chamber and including screw threads formed on the external wall thereof adjacent a first end;
• a screw-like member rotatably mounted within the chamber;
• a follower mounted on the screw-like member and movable axially therealong upon rotation thereof;
• spring means disposed in said chamber and engaged by said follower with axial movement of said follower relative to said screw-like member varying the degree of compression of said spring means;
• handle means connected to said screw-like member and mounted for rotation about the first end of said housing member and including at least one axially elongated slot extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of said housing member with rotation of said handle means resulting in rotation of said screw-like member;
• and
• an indicator nut having screw threads engageable with the housing screw threads and including at least one upstanding lug member positioned within the slot of said handle means whereby rotation of said handle means results in simultaneously axial movement of said follower and said indicator nut.
