Abstract

Door closer of the type which holds the door open until an associated electric circuit is opened or closed. Provides means for free swinging of the door when the door closer is "cocked". This is achieved by a drive plate interposed between the closer shaft and its operator arm. The plate provides a pair of apertures which may selectively retain a pin adapted to work against the closer arm.
