@WIRD STATES PATENT @FFIQE ROMEO W. PRIESKORN, OF SOIVIONAUK, ILLINOIS.
HINGE.
Application filed .Tune 9, 1915.
T 0 all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROMEO YV. PRIESKORN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Somonauk, in the county of Dekalb and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
My present invention relates to new and useful improvements in hinges and has particular reference to those of the type known as ball and socket hinges.
One of the principal objectsof the invention is to provide a hinge of this character which is constructed with such regard to proportion, number and arrangement of parts, that it may be cheaply manufactured, will be durable and etlicient in service and may be readily applied to any form of farm gate or the like.
Another object of the invention is to so design the hinge that it may be etliciently applied to the gate post, adjacent to the lower end thereof to act as a support for the gate and to etfectually take up the lateral and vertical thrusts which are imparted to it as a result of the swinging of the gate.
A further and more specific object of the invention is to provide a hinge which includes as its general elements of construction, a body plate having a socket wherein is received a supporting ball and a stud or plug which is removably mounted in the' i after more specically treated are accomplished by such means as are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, described in the following specification, and then more particularly pointed out in the claims which are appended hereto and form part of this application.
With reference to the drawings, wherein there has been illustrated the preferred embodiment of this invention, as itis reduced to practice, and throughout the severalviews of which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a side Specification of Letters Patent.

vertical section taken through the body of the hinge, showing the same applied to a gate of the tubular frame type; F ig. 3 is a detail view of a modified form of hinge, showing the body member in vertical section; Fig. 4 is a section on the line H of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a detail view of a further modification of the hinge, showing the body member in section; Fig. G is a section on the line 6 6 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 7 is a detail perspective view illustrating a still further modified form of hinged body member.
In taking up the detailed description of the invention, reference will first be had particularly to Fig. 1, wherein the hinge is shown as applied to a fence post and gate of the ordinary tubular frame type.
In this figure, the supporting bracket A is shown as applied to the post B to support the ball shank C, which lis received within the body plate D secured to the lower terminalv of one vertical frame member of the gate, indicated at E.
The attaching bracket, above generally designated by the letter A, is preferably formed in the nature of a metallic casting, which includes a iat body plate 10, a horizontal plate 11, which extends at right angles thereto, and a plate 12, connects the horizontal plate to the diagonal piate and serves to support the horizontal plate. The body plate of the bracket is adapted to be secured to the gate post by means of bolts or equivalent fastening devices, indicated at 13.
As is best disclosed in detail in Fig. 3 of the accompanyingdrawings, the shank C is provided at its lower end with a threaded extension 14, and a shoulder 15. The threaded extension passes through an opening formed in the horizontal plate 11 and the shoulder 15 rests upon the upper face thereof. A nut, indicated at 1G, is applied to the threaded extension to hold the shank against displacement on the horizontal plate.
Upon the upper end of the shank C, is formed the ball indicated at 17. IThis member is adapted to bevreceived within the socket 1S, formed in the lower end of the body plate D, which constitutes the other element of the hinge.
This body plate is preferably formed as a solid metallic casting in the lower end of which is formed, as above stated, the socket 18. lLeading into this socket 18, is a substantially cylindrical opening or chamber' 19,
which is defined by an annular flange 20. The socket 18, conforms of course, to the shape of the ball, but does not form a com-Y plete seat for the ball, it being iiecessarv to complete the socket for the ball by inserting the plug or stud 21. rIhis stud or plug is removable, being seated in the chamber or opening 19 and being held against removal from the flange 20 by means of a transverse securing pin, indicated at 22. Obviously, the member 21 may be removed to permit the withdrawal of the ball from the socket.
Vvlhen the hinge is to be applied to an ordinary fence board gate, it is designed as in Fig. 3. `When the hinge is to be applied to a farm gate, however, it is shaped inthe manner disclosed in detail in Fig. 5. If, on the other end, the body plate is adapted for attachment to a gate of the type having ,a tubulary frame, it is designed in the manner shown in detail in Fig. 2 so that the threaded socket may receive the threaded end of one of the vertical frame members.
If desired, the ball may be provided with a facial recess, as indicated at 23, for the reception of a hard lubricant, such as graphite or the like. It is, of course, necessary to hold the gate against vertical swinging movement when a hinge of the type of the present invention is employed and, for this reason, I employ in connection with my hinge, the device shown in detail in Figs. 1 and 6. This device consists of a ring or hoop 24, which embraces the post at the upper terminal thereof and is provided with an eye 25. A hook, indicated at 26 is provided with a ring 27, which embraces the endmember of the gate frame. The bill of this hook is, as shown in detail in Fig. 6 inserted in the eye. Obviously, the hook serves to support the gate against vertical swinging movement, while it is being swung, as well as when it is stationary.
In the modified form of the invention,y
shown in detail in Fig. 7 the body plate is provided. with the integral, upstanding,
It is now to be noted that the device shown in Fig. 7 is reinforced as at 31.V In this connection it is to be explained that the device of Fig. 5 is provided with reinforcenieiits equivalent to the reinforcements 31 of Fig. 7, although they are not apparent in the figure.
In reduction to practice, it has beenA found that the form of this invention illustrated in the drawings, andlrefcrred to in the above description as the preferred emvbodiment, is the most efficient and practical; yet realizing that the conditions concurrent with the adoption of this device will necessarily vary, it is desirable to einphasize the fact that various minor changes inthe details of construction, proportion and arrangementl of parts may be resorted to, when required, without sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention, as def" fined by the appended claims.
It has been found in practice, Vthat the gate when supported by the means shown in the accompanying drawings, is prevented from swinging since the greater portion of the weightof the gate is supported by the v hinged element, at the base portion of the post. It has also been found that the par- Y ticular formof hinge employed, makes ita relatively easy matter to swing even an unusually heavy gate.
l/Vhat is claimed isz- 1. A hinge including a body member adaptedfor attachment to thearticle to `be supported, a socket formed in the body member, a shank adapted to be secured to the structure upon which the article to be supported is mounted, a ball head formed Y on the terminal of the shank, said head being seated within the socket 'for universal movement therein, and a removable plug seated in the body member for maintaining the ball head against withdrawal from the socket.
2. Ahinge including a supporting bracket adapted for attachment to a supporting member, a shank removably mounted iii the bracket, a ball head formed in the terminal of the shank, a body member adapted for attachment to the article to be supported, there being a ball receiving socket formed in the body member, said socket conforming to the headmember but being adapted to form a partial seat for gate is supported, a ball head forined'on 125 the terminal of the shank, said head being seated in the socket, and a removable plug seated in the body member for holding the head against withdrawal therefrom.
