, SPECIFICATION.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID REED, of San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a new and useful Hinge 5 andI do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference'being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention relates to an improvement in the construction of butt hinges for doors, hatches, and rudders of boats, by which they are rendered much stronger and better adapted for either right or left hand doors than other butthinges 5 and consists of a loose butt-hinge,

I each half of which has double securing-leaves at right angles, or nearly so, to each other, the eye and pintle of which are placed exactly in the angle formed by the two double leaves, the whole making a strengthened reversible hinge.

By the use of my invention [am enabled to produce a more economical hinge than has heretofore been done, when combining in itself strength and a right and left hand hinge.

Referring to the accompanying drawing for a more complete explanation of my invention,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my hinge as applied to an ordinary door. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Fig. 3 is a view of my hinge when applied to a door that swings both ways, or to a rudder.

Similar letters indicate like parts. A is the leaf or portion of the hinge fastened to the door as usually constructed. Bis a supplemental leaf which I add, and which is so constructed as to stand at an angle with the leaf A This angle may vary according to the place where it is employed. If used on a door it will be aright angle, as shown. The socket O and pintle D stand in the angle formed by the two parts A and B of each.

It will be seen that the screws in the two parts A and B enter the wood at right angles to each other, and consequently they have a ent, is-

A loose-point butt-hinge, each half having double securing-leaves at right angles, or nearly so, to each other, the eye and pintle of which are placed exactly in the angle formed by the two doubleleaves, the whole making a strengthened reversible hinge, substantially as described, for the purpose set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

DAVID REED.
