FRANK MILLER, OF YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA.
Application filed January 25, 1913.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK F. MILLER, citizen of the United States, residing at Yankton, in the county of Yankton and State of South Dakota, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Hinges, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to hinges, and more particularly to a hinge especially adapted for use on barn doors, stable doors, and in fact all types of doors which are of necessity of considerable width and consequently require an especially strong hinge for their support against sagging.
It is therefore the primary aim of the present invention to provide a hinge for a door of the general type above mentioned which will not only afford a firm support in its swinging movement but which will serve the further purpose of preventing sagging of the door or relative displacement of the boards comprising the same. The hinge is designed especially for the application to a door the boards of which run horizontally or in other words are arranged one above another and edge to edge, and it is the relative displacement or shifting of these boards that the hinge is designed to prevent in addition to the performance of its primary function.
Another aim of the invention is to provide a hinge so constructed that it may be applied to a door of the general type mentioned without the use of bolts or any other securing devices, the component parts of the door serving alone as the securing means.
Another feature of the invention resides in so constructing the hinge that the door may be supported at different elevations with relation to the sill so that should the sill warp or settle at one side, the door may be adjusted to close properly.
For a full understanding of the invention reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a door supported by the hinge structure, embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a detail horizontal sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. at is a perspective view of that member of the hinge which is attached to the door.
Corresponding and like parts are referred Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 31, 1914.
Serial No. 744,193.
to in the following description and indicated n all the views of the accompanying drawmg by the same reference characters.
in order that the manner of mounting the hinge upon the door may be more readily understood, the construction of the door itself will first be described in a general way.
The door consists of a number of boards 1 of the proper width, length and thickness, which are arranged one above another, and are disposed edge to edge, the meeting edges of the boards having a tongue and groove connection, as indicated at 2 in the drawing. is one means for holding the boards 1 against lateral displacement, suitable lengths of angle iron 3 are secured upon the inner and outer faces of the door by means of bolts l, these angle bars extending vertically and being located opposite to each other. as clearly shown in Fig. 2 and near the hinged edge or side of the door. It is of course to be understood that where the door is of considerable width or is of such size as to be exceptionally heavy, other angle iron braces may be secured upon the faces of the door in any desired relation so as to further hold the boards 1 against relative displacement.
In constructing the door for the application of the hinge embodying the present invention, two or more pairs of the boards 1 are prepared at their meeting edges to fit that member of the hinge which is carried by the door. In so preparing the edges of the said boards, the edges are cut away or recessed, as at 5 adjacent the hinged side of the door and are formed with notches 6 which extend completely through the boards and consequently open at the outer and inner faces of the door. The recesses 5 also extend the entire thickness of the boards in which they are formed so that they too open at the inner and outer faces of the door. It will be observed by reference to Fig. 2 that the notches 6 are located flush with the edges of the angle irons 3 which are presented toward the free side of the door.
That member of the hinge which is carried by the door is preferably in the nature of an integral casting including a web 7, the upper and under sides of which are flat, the web being of a width equal to the thickness of the boards and being of a thickness equal to the combined depth of the recesses 5 in. the edges of the boards. At one end the web 7 is formed with a head 8 which is substantially rectangular and occupies a plane at right angles to the plane occupied by the said web, and this head 8 has portions projecting above and below the plane of the Web and portions projecting laterally be yond the edges of the web. The first mentioned portions of the head are indicated at 9 and the latter portions at 10. At its end opposite the end at which the head 8 is located, the web 7 is cut away upon a semicircle, as indicated at 11, and a flange 12 is formed integral with the lateral edges of the web and is substantially of U-form, the bend of the flange indicated at 18, being substantially semi-circular and opposing the semi-circular end-edge 11 of the web. The inner surface of the wall of the bend 13 and the edge 11 are located in arcs of the same circle so that a circular socket or opening is provided at this end of the said hinge member. It will be observed that the flange 12 extends above and below the plane occupied by the web 7 and that the flange terminates short of the lateral projecting portions 10 of the head 8.
It will now be apparent from the foregoing and from an inspection of the several figures of the drawing that in assembling the hinge member above described, with the door, it is fitted with its web 7 occupying the recesses 5 and with the portions 9 of its head 8 projecting into the notches 6 in the edges of the boards. When so fitted the portions 10 of the head 8 will project beyond the inner and outer faces of the door and will engage behind the flanged edges of the angle irons 3 in a manner clearly shown in Fig. 2. At the same time, the inner ends of the flange 12 will rest against the opposite edges of the angle irons 3 so that the head 8 and flange 12 will have firm bearing against the opposite edges of the said angle irons which will, of course, lock the parts against relative displacement and prevent like displacement of the boards between which the hinge member is arranged. It
'. will be observed that the flange 12 lies against the opposite faces of the door at the meeting edges of the boards, above referred to, and that the socket formed between the bend 13 of the said flange and the concaved edge 11, is located slightly beyond the inner or hinged edge of the door.
The pintle of the hinge structure is in the nature of a tubular post 14 which is fitted through the sockets or openings in the hinge members, above described, and the engagement of the said post through the openings is sufliciently loose to permit of swinging movement of the door upon the post.
The door-frame is shown in a general manner in the drawing and is indicated in general by the numeral 15 and disposed against one side of the frame is a block 16 having a slot 17 and a serrated face 18 which latter bears against the said side of the doorframe and serves to hold the block against downward displacement when secured in I place in a manner to be presently explained.
At suitable intervals, the tubular post 14 is formed with openings 19 through which are fitted the head ends of L-bolts 20. The bolts 20 project through the slots 17 in the door- I frame 15 and are provided with nuts 21 bearing against the side of the frame opposite that against which the block 16 bears.
It will be understood that the bends 13 of the flanges 12 turn upon the upper ends of the blocks 16 and are supported by these blocks against downward movement upon the pintle post 14 and it will further be apparent that by adjusting the blocks 16, the door may be supported at various eleva tions above its sill.
It will be apparent that the hinge structure herein described serves not only to effectually support a door of considerable width and weight but that it serves to pre vent sagging of the door and while it requires no bolts or other securing elements for its attachment to the door, it cannot become loose unless actually broken.
It is to be noted that the engagement of the portions 9 of the head 8 in the notches 6 will serve to prevent the slipping of the boards 1 over each other.
