HINGE.V

Application led August 27, 1919.

T0 @ZZ 'whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOSEPH Soss, a citizen of the United States, and residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to hinges and particularly to what are known as door hinges, and the object thereof is to provide an improved hinge which is simple in construction, comparatively inexpensive and which will be efficient and strong and durable in use; a further object being to provide a hinge of they class specifiedwhich is constructed of a plurality of parts stamped from sheet metal and fashioned to the desired shape or form and secured together to form the separate parts or butt members of the hinge; and with these and other objects in view the invention consists in a hinge of the class specified, constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention described and claimed herein is an improvement on that described and claimed in a prior application filed by 'me March 8, 1919, Ser. No. 281,358, and is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 -is a sectional plan view of my improved hinge showing the same connected with a door frame and door, the section bein partially on the line ll of Fig. 2; o y

Fig. 2 a partial sectionon the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; i

Fig. 3 an inside face view of that part of the hinge which is secured to thestationary support; and, o

Fig. ipa perspective view of that part of the hinge which is secured to the door or other sii/inging member.

In Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, l have shown at 5 a part of a door frame or other stationary support, and at 6 a door or other swinging member and, in practice, the part 5 is recessed as shown at 7 to receive the part or butt member 8- of the hinge, while the door 6 is recessed at 9 tovreceive the part or butt member 10 of the hinge.

The part 8 of the hinge is preferably Specification of Letters Patent.

Paten-ted Apr.- 27, 1920.

Serial No. 320,214.

stamped or fashioned from sheet metal and consists of a front plate 11, which is oblong and rectangular in form and provided adj acent to its upper and lower edges with countersunk vapertures 12 through which screws 13 are adapted to pass in securing the part 8 to the door frame 5, as shown in Fig. 3. The central portion of the plate 11 is cut out as shown at 14- to form an' irregular-shaped transverse aperture consisting of a large rectangular end portion 15 and a reduced end portion 16. Formed from the material cut out of the part 16 of the aperture and eX- tending inwardly from the top thereof is a spring member 17' which is bent at approximately right vangles to the plate 11, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. Secured to the inner face of the plate 11 below the cut-out portion 14 thereof is an Lshaped reinforcing plate member 18, preferablycomposed of heavier sheet metal than that of the plate 11, as is clearly shown in Fig. 2. rThe part 19 of the plate member 1S projects at right angles to the vplate 11 and is provided with an angularly arranged groove or 'depression 20 in the to'p face thereof, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2, which communicates at its inner end with an aperture 21 in said part 19. vThe groove or depression 2O forms, as will. be seen, a corresponding projection 22 on the bottom face of the part 19 thus giving said part the required strength in supporting the door in the operation of placing or connectino` the part 1G of the hinge with the part 8. v

The part 10 of the hinge is made from two similarly formed

plate members

23 and 24 which are approximately L-shaped in form, or consist of back plates 25 and approximately hook-shaped arms 26 extending at right angles therefrom. The plates 25 and arms 26 are secured together to form the part 10 by welding, brazing or in any other desired manner. The end portions of the plates 25 are each provided with countersunk screw apertures 2T through which screws 28 are passed in securing the part 10 to the door or other swinging member 6, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

rihe arms 26 when secured together form a central hook-shaped arm and, in practice, a pin 29 is secured in the free end portion of said arm, part of said pin projecting downwardly and being adapted to Operate in the aperture 21 in the plate member 18 or the part 19 thereof.

In the use of this device and after the

separate parts

8 and 10 have been secured to the door frame and door, the door may be connected with the door frame by passing the hook-shaped arms of the parts 10 of the hinge, or the free end portions thereof, through the rectangular portion 15 of the cut-out portion 14 of the part 8 with the pin 29 within the groove or depression 20, and when in this position the door is moved inwardly until the pin 29 drops into the aperture 21. It will be understood that in accomplishing the above result that the door 6 will be swung into a position at right angles to the door frame .in order to permit of the passage of the hook-shaped arms of the part 10 into the part 8 without coming in contact with the inwardl directed spring member 17 of said part. en the part 10 has been connected with the part 8 in the manner above set out and as indicated in Fig. 2, the door 6 may be swung into .its closed position as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in which operation the spring member 17 operates in connection with the top face of the hook-shaped arm and serves to hold said arm, or the part 10 of the hinge, firmly or against rattling in the part 8, and especially when the door 6 is in a closed position.

The distinctive feature of the construction herein shown and described from that shown and described in the prior application hereinbefore referred to is in the use of a hook-shaped arm on the part 10 of the hinge, of comparatively small transverse dimensions, and the aperture or cut-out portion of the part 8 of correspondingly small dimensions, and the attachment of the reinforcing plate member 18 to the plate 11 to form the support for the part 10 by reason of the fact that the size of the cut-out or apertured portion 14 is insufficient to produce a proper support for the part 10. It will be apparent that the hinge constructed `in the manner herein shown and described is designed particularly for use in supporting comparatively light doors but will serve for the same purpose as that of the hinge shown and described in said prior application, and while I have shown certain details of construction for carrying my invention into effect, it will be apparent that I am not necessarily limited to such details, as various changes therein and modifications thereof may be made, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is :e
